Mr.. Smith is again the nominee for
congress from the Fifth district OF
Michigan and his two years experience
in congress has given him an oppor-
tunity to store his mind with facts rel
alive to the important issues involved
in this campaign which he can and
will discuss in an intelligent and inter-
esting way. Do not fail to hear him.
c.. L. Hills, the wealthy lumberman
Of Muskegon was asked how he got
rich: Il can answer that in a few
words. To succeed in life man must
be honest. He must be energetic. My
advice to young man starting out In
life would be this: Secure the very
best position you are qualified to fill,
be conscientious in all your dealings;
never try to make a gain by trick
honesty is the first and most essential
qualification to success in life. Then
be Industrious. throw all your powers
and energies into your work. When
| was young man, | was in the habit
of working from fourteen to seventeen
hours daily. Never stop to ask il you
were hired to do this or that. If you
see anything to do, go ahead and do it..
Employers are looking for such men.
| have employed hundreds Of men, and
let me tell you / never had any use for
the man who, when he completed one
piece of work, stood around waiting
till the foreman told him to do some
thing else. Men of that stamp never
succeed at anything; they spend more
Of their time looking for somebody to
hire them than anything else.
One of the saddest things in life is to
see young girl throw her life away
by marrying q man To reform him.
Not one in hundred is made any bet
ter by marriage, though for time
there may be semblance OF reform.
How often have you seen a drunkard' 8
home, drunkard's wife and children,
and have looked with more scorn than
pity perhaps, upon them, never dream
ing that such a fate could be yours.
Girls, just such q fate awaits you il you
marry moderate drinker. for the
moderate drinker is sure to become
the immoderate drinker. Ifyou marry
a man and he becomes Incorporate
after marriage, you are guiltless OF
wrong, and God pity all such. But If
you deliberately marry man who has
formed the liquor habit you are Grim
inally foolish, for you not only throw
away your own chance of happiness,
but will bring children into the world
with an inherited appetite for strong
drink, and the sins of the father will
be visited on the children.
Frank r. Unger will sever his con-
nection with the dry good establish
ment OF Henry j. Leonard this week
and will soon leave for Albany, Ind,
where he goes TO take an advanced po-
sition in the same line for J. M. Net
zorg formerly of Greenville who has
made arrangements to 60 into business
in that city. Mr.. Unger has been at
Leonards for the past six years and is
one of the best known ami popular
young men in the city and as clerk
was we'll liked and trustworthy. Very
many of his friends, old and young, in
and out OF the city while they will re-
greet TO see him go will be pleased to
know of his Advancement and wish him
success in his new surroundings.
Michigan has reputation for being
able to furnish some of the most sud-
den and extreme changes in weather
and she is bound to keep up her repu-
tation. Last week the heat was swell
tering and seemingly almost unbeara-
BILE. Wednesday morning of this week
there was light frost in many places.
The cooler weather is duly appreciated
but little better average If it were
possible would be still more so.
The regular meeting OF the Young
Mems Republican club was largely
attended Wednesday night and the
speeches by Messrs. Bowen, Robinson
and Washburn were most enthusiasts
