Comrade Geo. w. Irving, represent
ing the house of Ii. II. Hardesty d Co
of Toledo, Ohio, publishers of military
works, is now in Paw Paw, gathering
and compiling the military history of
the ex.soldiers of Van Buren, County,
with view to having the same pub
lished in enduring form, to perpetuate
for all time the memory, achievements
and sacrifices made by these defenders
of the flag. There is no more glorious
record in all the annals of history, and
no work can be more pleasant than to
preserve it. It's value will depend upon
its accuracy, and that can be best Sc
cured by the cooperation of those who
participated in the drama of war and
in whose momory its events are living
facts.
Comrade Irving brings to the sue
cessful performance of this work years
of practical experience and "a devotion
to the interest of his comrades in arms
that will make such a work as perfect
as it is possible to make it. He will
also have a corps of experienced assist
ants TO carry on the work. They will
call personally on each ex soldier. This
we believe to be the first attempt to
perpetuate the memory of ex-soldiers
of past wars in connection with national
history.

The Biggest of it's Kind.

Every farmer in Michigan knows what
a farmers institute is. Sixty-eight coun-
ties in the state have held them this
winter. Some of them have been very
largely attended, and all have been
very successful. But we expect to have
the biggest one of the year at Grand
Rapids, Feb. IL, 12, 13 and IA. 1t will
be called Roundup" and the list of
speakers will include noted professors
from the agricultural college, and some
of the most successful and best known
farmers and fruit growers of the state.
The feast will be opened by Gov. John
Il. Rich on Tuesday evening, Feb. IL,
and will continue for three days and
four evenings until Friday evening,
when it will be closed by Ex-Governor
Luce There will be three sessions a
day of the main institute. Wednesday
will be fruit day, Thursday will be stock
and dairy day, and Friday will be fer.
tilizer and general crop day. The even
ing sessions will be occupied with talks
of a more general nature, but all of great
interest and moment to farmers. Three
afternoons, in room separate from the
main institute, will be held woman's
section under the charge of Mrs. Mary
n. mayo, Oh DdIJle OTeek. III lS eA-
pected that on two of these afternoons
demonstration lessons in cooking will be
given by Miss Margaret M. Still of De.
troit. Still another separate section,
called the mechanics section, will be
held two evenings for those who are
interested in mechanical lines.
We want 1000 of the most progressive
/ farmers from all sections of Michigan To
attend this meeting. We expect reduc.
ed rates on the railroads We have
been assured of reduced rates at hotels
at from 81 90 to 81 so per day for good
accommodations. We want to make
this the biggest meeting of the kind
ever held in Michigan. We want to
make it a model institute In conduct as
well as in attendance. The papers and
discussions will be the best that
can be procured in Michigan, and we
want people To come TO hear them. We
expect every farmer in Kent county
and we would like TO have every other
county send large delegations Further
announcements, giving program and
other arrangements more in detail, viii
be made later. DO not forget the dates
February II, l2, 10 and IA; and remem

from him. My brother was the most
amiable and kind hearted of men,"

feelings of those who knew him in and
about Paw Paw. She continues to say:
falls. there let it lie; so / wish my dear
brothers remains to be buried by you

toned at Paw Paw. Your account of
the funeral, conducted in manner un-
known to London, has touched me
deeply. How can sufficiently express
my thanks to you for the great respect
you displayed to his remainsy

ing that my poor brother received the
last regards of so many friends who
followed him to his last resting place"
