Wilbur G. Whitney has been tender
ed position in the Central Bank
of Kalamazoo, which he has accept
ed and will resign his position here
with Lamb Bros. and go there about
the first of December. Mr.. Whitney 8
friends in this city are numerous, who
will regret to see him go from among
them, but at the same time are pleased
to know that he has secured a situation
in the bus mess which he seems to be
specially fitted for and one which his
ambition craved. He is made of the
right kind OF material to succeed.
The time for Belongs first poultry
show will soon be here. We find II.
+. Barry currying down his fine exhi-
bition birds; Lou Millard looking
around to see if he can find one of his
| flock that will do to look at; Fred De-
Coster is trying in vain to grow feath-
ers on his dark brahmas so they won't
freeze to death and everyone interest
ed in poultry is wide awake--even TO
those outside of Belding-and all indi-
cations point to a large exhibit at our
show November 80 and December 123
Miss Marie Belliss of Ionia is in the
city this week rendering her services
| in the care of Samuel Fox, who was so
badly injured two weeks ago by falling
from his wagon at his place in the
southeast part Of the city. DR.. Dutt
reports him slowly improving and able
to sit up for short time each day. In
his mishap no bones were broken but
he received so severe a shock as to
render him almost helpless for several
days.
Rosco is in Greenville this week
He succeeded in raking in quite num-
Der of half dollars and dollars while in
this city. His powers OF mind reading
or clairvoyance was about the only
thing remarkable about his entertain
ment here. Anybody with a fortune
telling book of palmistry can get off as
good lingo as he and write it out in
better shape. There was good sized
fake in his "a hours sleep.
Miss Della Luscombe of Otisco and
Mr. L. ID. Carpenter, formerly of Buf-
falo, N. Y, were married in Ionia,
Wednesday, November 10, 1897. After
short wedding trip they will be ready
TO welcome their many friends at their
home in Cooks Corners, where the
groom has house comfortably furnish
ed to receive his bride. We wish them
long and prosperous voyage over the
sea of life.
Peter Kopp, who moved from this
city to his farm year ago, recently
injured one of his fingers SO badly that
he was laid up four weeks Fortunate
ly for him he was insured in the Metro
politan Accident Company Of Chicago
and this week received fifty dollars
from that company through A. +.
Morgan the agent.
The Weter-Wise Co. have been max
ing some improvements about their
building. A new harness shop has
been fitted up in the rear and the room
formerly used for that purpose made
into fine and commodious Office.
The whist club opened the season
very auspiciously Tuesday evening al
the K. of p. hall, the side led by MIR
Washburn succeeding In besting their
opponents. Next meeting at the same
place Tuesday, Nov. Odd.
Since Rosco's visit we understand
} that at least one sportsman when ht
goes after game now simply hypnotizei
it and catches them with his hands
1t saves ammunition besides being
much more progressive.
The X. N. OF A. will meet at G. X
) Cowdin's, Wednesday evening, Nov
, IL. All members are earnestly re
: quested to be present as there is i'm
portant business to transact.
