ed Is designed to carry on many of the
features Of an institutional church. The
lot on which the building will rest has
not very great dimensions, 60x75 feet, and
consequently, the plan adopted calls for
what might be called a three-story build
ing. consisting of a Sunday school room
ebove grade. basement. which should
be partly below, and a main audience
room with gallery. The church will cover
the entire lot. with the exception of three
feet in the rear reserved to give plenty
Of light and air from the south, and will
face on d street. This will give a seating
capacity of more than five hundred per-
Sons on the floor. and more than three
hundred in the gallery. making total Of
eight hundred or more in the main audi
Ell ce room and gallery combined.
VIII Have Two Vestfbules.
Entrance to the edifice will be obtained
through two vestibules. each thirteen feet
by thirteen feet, from which there are
stairways leading up to the gallery or
down to the Sunday school room. From
these vestibules doors open directly into
the auditorium, and, in addition. there is
an entrance to the rear of the church
from each vestfbule. The floor of the au-
dience room tnclines toward the pulpit,
with circular seats, and at the rear Is the
platform and baptistry, the latter placed
directly behind the former. and so ar
ranged as to admit OF an adornment with
flowers.
The ladies' dressing room is to be at the
right and the mems dressing room at the
left. while the pastors study will be placed
to the right OF the ladies' dressing room,
en- the main floor. A passage in the rear
Of the baptistry will connect these three
rooms and also lead to the vestibule
The gallery is to be circular In form
running around three sides of the audi
toriun. and. will accommodate three hum
dred and thirty-two people. There will be
four entrances and exits to and from the
gallery, two from the main vestibuley on
d street. and two from near the pulpit. re-
sembiing somewhat those of the First Con-

A NEW FACTORY, PERHAPS.

A number of business men and citi-
zens met at Hotel Belding Monday
evening persuant to call of Mayor
Spencer to consider a proposition for
the location here of another factory.
1t is not new company but an old
concern with well established trade,
and their object in making a change
is to get where they will get more add
vantageous freight rates. The terms
upon which they would locate in Bel
ding were stated and duly discussed
finally resulting in the authorizing OF
a counter proposition from the city to
them being practically that buildings
and power plant (engines and boilersl
would be furnished absolutely free Of
expense for five years, cost of moving
paid and cash bonus besides of 81, 600.
This is certainly very liberal offer
and If the above company means busi-
ness should bring it to Belding. The
BANNER would be glad to welcome
this or any other good responsible firm
desiring to locate in our city.

THE BATTALION MEET.
Reunion at Lyons-Ohicers Elected-Nex
Annual tn be Held I'm Belding.

Reunion at Lyons-omcers Eiected-Next
Annual tn be Held I'm Belding.
The annual reunion OF the Ionia Co.
Battalion, held at Lyons last Thurs
day was stirring event among the old
soldiers, several hundred being present.
One of the incidents of the day was the
address in the afternoon by Hon. l..
w. Sprague of Greenville, who roasted
the soldier boys at Island Lake to the
queens taste.
He said we could step out into the
country and pick up from the farms
plenty of boys who did not belong TO
the ''tin soldier" brigade, who would
make just as good soldiers in six
weeks time as the state is now turning
out at the expense Of the people, and
for the amusement OF a few. He
thought the militia all right for play
soldiers, but did not think it amounted
to anything for the country or state
He said there would be just enough OF
them to officer an army. His remarks
were freely applauded by the old sol
diers just off the farm.
Belding was chosen the place OF
meeting next year, and the old officers
were re-elected-Maj. f. II. Chase, of
Smyrna, for president and w. j. Just,
Of Ionia, for adjutant.
The battalion was presented with a
fine silk flag by the county w. X. G.
"Grandma" Martin, whose grand-fath-
er was in the Revolutionary war, max
ing the presentation. Other speakers
were Capt. Allen of Portland, and
Hon. w. II. Brown OF Hubbardston.
A campfire was held in the evening.

A. j. Hale viii Not Accept the Orleans
Postoftice.

BOStOHlce.
The appointment of A. j. Hale as
postmaster at Orleans it seems did not
give entire satisfaction. The contest
for the plum was sharp one between
himself and John Morton. Mr.. Hale
received the appointment however but
declined to accept in the following let
ter to VIM. Alden Smith:
ORLEANS, Mich, Aug. II, 1897.
Hon. William Alden Smith, Grand
Rapids, Mich:
My Dear Sir:-After giving the mat
ter of my appointment as postmaster
at Orleans due consideration, have
come to the conclusion that it is my
duty as a Republican to withdraw from
the contest in the interest of the party,
as we'll as your interest. | do not wish
to be responsible for division in my
party in my own town, and would not
under any circumstances. You are
therefore, as far as | am concerned,
free to appoint any one to the place
whom you see fit in the interest of the
Republican party in Orleans township
Yours very truly,

while Mr.. Earle was senator from this
district The trade was worked up by
IA real estate agent residing in Lansing
named Hendricks. Humphrey took
Mr. Earle's residence in this city
valued in the exchange at 81, 500, thirty
lots on the North Park addition at
$3 900, Earle's insurance business at
80 900 and the store building on the
north side of Main street at $4,000.
Conveying to Mr.. Earle his residence
in Lansing valued at $4,000 and rs
shares OF the Ingham county bank
stock representing 81, 500.
Shortly after the trade Mr.. Humph-
rey moved here and Mr. Earle took
possession of the Lansing property.
The big deal was the subject of much
comment by the friends of Mr.. Earle,
who considered him lucky in striking
so good bargain, and at the same time
expressed sympathy for Mr.. Humph
rey. 1t is said that the Humphreys
were heard to say number of times
that Mr.. Earle had cheated them in
the trade. a year or more ago the
Ingham county bank failed and after a
contest in the courts it was decided
that stockholders were liable to de-
positors, and an assessment of go per
cent. was made which in Earle's case
amounts to 5000. Mr.. Earle claims
that Humphrey knew the bank was in
solvent at the time and the stock prac-
tically worthless, although he was in
formed at the time it was worth 1925
per share by cashier May.
Mr.. Earle has retained McGary &
Nichols to prosecute his case.
