oTIsCo's FIRST CELEBRATION.

Fifty years ago this coming Fourth
OF July, the first celebration was held
in Clark Delnorest's oak grove, one
mile west OF the town, now called
Bedding, which then contained only "a
saw mill and shanty. The grove was
cleaned mp in nice shape, seats and
tables prepared, the barn was built,
and well Of good water near, with its
sweep and 'old oaken bucket. The
owner Of the place took his best girl
and carried the flag. The picnic was
a large one for they came from miles
around and the long tables looked in
viting indeed, although we had no
bananas, oranges or ice cream in those
days. But the ladies We'd with each
other in making pyramid cakes and
ornamenting them, and chicken pies,
aud rice pudding, etc, were always in
order although our stores were at Ionia
and Grand Rapids.
After this good many Sunday
school picnics were held in the grove
and they always made grand display,
each school with flags and banners,
forming long procession and march,
ing to the grove with martial music,
where they listened to speeches or an
Grafton with music. At one time there
were thirteen schools represented,
coming with four horse teams in fine
style. Wagons trimmed with ever
greens and children dressed in white
with gay banners. The dinner seemed
to be the browning glory for all.
There WAS visiting, swinging, and a
lake near by which added to the joys
of the children. But boating and
bathing are all done away with, for
the lake has dried up and is marsh
land today. The last large picnic was
nearly twenty years ago when the
Grangers made big demonstration.
Last Sunday was Sada Worden' s
fourteenth birthday (the oldest grand
daughterl 50 she invited her cousins
and few others to picnic in grand
pas grove, on Saturday afternoon,
where they had a nice time, the supper
being not the least of their enjoyment,
finishing of with ice cream from M.
j. Demorest's.

Aeronant Cole Formerly of Belding Killed
Last sunday Evening.

Aeronant Cole Formerly of Beiding Killed
! Last sunday Evening.
Three years ago young man by the
name Of Cole was resident OF Belding,
was employed in the factories OF this city
At that time young Willard Thayer,
the balloonIst, who is now doing time
for stealing, made his headquarters
here, and Cole getting the idea in his
head that he would like To try an
ascension. succeeded in coaxing Thayer
to let him make the attempt. Under
Thayer's direction he made his first
ascension which was success, al
though he hesitated rather danger
ously long before making the parachute
drop. AS soon thereafter as he could
raise funds enough to procure balloon
he became "Prof.n Cole, the aerOnaut,
and has made his headquarters since
at Lakeview and Big Rapids. The
circumstances of his unfortunate aud
untimely end are described 10y the
Grand Rapids Herald AS follows:
Hiram H. Cole, an aeronaut who has
been giving balloon ascensions at
North Park, fell from his balloon while
making an ascension about o'clock
Sunday evening. He died at S;45
without regaining consciousness. Cole
himself seemed To think the ascension
was more than usually hazardous but
decided that he must fulfill his con-
tract. The balloon started all right
but when it rose above the pavilion IL
was blown against the corner of the
switch back, dragging Cole of the
trapeze on which he was making the
rise. He fell to the ground, distance
of about thirty feet, landing on his
head and shoulders. A large crowd
was witnessing the ascent and the
aeronaut was Immediately carried 10
the pavilion and made rs comfortable
rs possible in the large dining room.
DR.. Read of the Soldiers home was
Immediately called but could render
no aid and death occurred as STATE
above. Cole resided at Big Rapids,
where he had wife and one child.
He was 70 years Of age and had been
making balloon ascensions for several
years. The physicians were unable to
tell whether Coles neck was broken,
but il is probable that it was.
Two Of Coles sisters were employed
here and left. Monday for their home.
The parents reside at Lakeview.

There is the wife who is stunned and
miserable because she discovers that
marriage is not lasting picnic; who
cannot realize that her husband must
be different from the lover; and spends
her days in impotent whining. She is
always being neglected, and always
taking offense; she has an Unsuitable
craving for attentions, and needs con-

her time and feelings in getting up pa

going sobbing and complaining about
the house with red eyes unless il be a
perpetual fools paradise of perfection
There are also discontented wives
who goad their husbands into extrava-
giant expenditure and urge them to
projects from which they would nat
urally reeoil. There are others whose
social ambitions slay their domestic
ones, and who strain every nerve, iD
season and out OF season, and lose all
their self-respect for few crumbs of
contemptuous patronage from some
person of greater wealth than their
own. Some wives fret il they have no
children, others just as much if chill

disappointed; in the second incon-

/
AS announced in these columns last
week the Russell family held their
second annual reunion at Baldwin
lake. last week Thursday, and il was u
complete success in every respect. In
1877 the sons of Josiah Russell, Sr.,
came into this township and settled all
around Otisco. This old patriot reared
family of thirteen children, eight Of
whom settled in this neighborhood and
their descendants are numbered among
our best citizens, including the Rus
sells, Moons, Fales, Olds, Phillips,
Filkins, Atwoods, Weeks, Starks, Ber-
rvs, Stevens. and we think there are
others that have escaped our notice.
There were about one hundred and
fifty OF them gathered on the shores Of
that beautiful lake last Thursday and
spent day getting acquainted with
each other and in general enjoyment.
Among those from outside noticed by
our reporter were: Fred II. Russell of
Hart, Judge of the twenty-fifth judicial
district, f. X. Reed, editor of the
Newaygo County Democrat: Halbert

and daughter Ida. of Portland: Mrs
Julia Varnum of Vassar: f.. Il. Clark
OF Ensley Judson l4oomis of Cadillac;
Miss Bessie Reynolds of Thornvlle:
Geo. Steele Of ST. Johns: and Bingley
Russell OF Ithaca. OF those who came
here at that early day there are yet
two living Of the original settlers:
Mrs. Harriett Russell Reed, wife of
Rev. Seth Reed of Flint, and r. Ly-
man Russell of Luther.
The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted and will explain
themselves:
Resolutions of love and respect
adopted at family reunion Of the de-
scendants of Josiah Russell, who |
emigrated to Michigan in 1886, held
at Baldwin Lake, June %, 1896
We regret the inability of Aunt |
Harriet Newell Russell Reed, and |
Robert Lyman Russell to be present,
they being the Oldest living represen-
tatives of the family, and hope that
they may be spared to greet their |
many relatives at many future reunions. |
We learn with pleasure that the APP |
preaching Sth day of October Is the |
of the golden wedding Of
aunt, great-aunt, and great-great-aunt |
Harriett, and we cannot refrain from

little story for lonia courts, the case
this time being the arrest of Daniel
Roberts, an old man 20 or 10 years of
age, who was charged by James >.
Whiting, the Free Methodist minister
of that place, with carrying concealed
weapons.
Roberts was arrested last Saturday,
June 9th. He had leased his Orleans
farm TO Whiting, and difference OF
opinion later arose as To their respec-
ing reserved certain rooms In the
house for the use of mis- wife, who is an
invalid, she To board with the Whiting
family. There was also "A difference of
opinion over the crops, and the quar-
rel finally terminated in Roberts
arrest, as above stated, Whiting claim
ing he carried IA revolver. This was
shown on the trial but Roberts claim
ed he carried the weapon only for the
purpose of having it repaired.
However, when the trial before a
jury came off before Justice Curry, the
old gentleman was convicted. He was
fined six cents and costs, amounting to
S32. 26, or in default 30 days in the
