wooDMEN DAY.

Tuesday was Woodmen day in this
neck of the woods and they gathered
at Baldwin Lake in large numbers and
enjoyed the hospitality of Greenville
Camp, the members of which done the
honors of the occasion nobly. A spec
ial train was run from IOnia carrying
about one hundred and fifty from
there including the City Band, but the
Beldlng delegation upwards OF one
hundred strong with the Shoe Company
Band went on the regular train at
l2:37. Lakeview, Grand Rapids and
other points were also well represented.
The Foresters of Kent Camp, Grand
Rapids, were there and gave exhibit
tion drills as only they can do it, there
were short speeches by different mem
bers, and sports of various kinds.
And then the dinner, all ate until they
could eat no more without seeming to
deplete the supply in the least, After
that music was provided and those
who wished tripped the light fantastic
toe as long as they desired. A severe
storm came up and disarranged plans
somewhat but did not in the least sue
ceed in spelling the enjoyment of the
occasion, everyone expressing them
selves as being we'll repaid for attend

The adjourned school meeting finish
ed its work last Monday evening. The
night was warm but the attendance
was fair although not as large as the
Monday previous. Considerable dis
cussion was INDUCED in on both propo-
sitions but when the vote was taken
all were rather surprised at the unani-
nifty with which both were rejected.
For free text books the vote stood |
yes, 81 no; and for uniform text books
under the law of 1897 it was 6 yes, 81
no. There was some talk OF an attempt
being made to lop off two grades from
the present high school course and
also the members OF the board desired
to bring up the matter OF building a
ward school in the second ward but all
this was headed off by a motion to ad-
journ Immediately upon the settlement
of the schoolbook question, which was
promptly carried.

We wonder how many Beldingites
ever thought of it in just this light,
yet who will deny the truth OF the fol-
lowing taken from the Hotel World:
"The citizens of the small town seldom
realize the great Importance OF the
local hotel. If they did it is reasonable
to suppose they would work more for
its interests. Often the local merchant
and business man could assist in sup
porting the country hotel, and that
without loss to himself and family.
The name or reputation OF the small
town Is always connected with its lead
ing hotels by those who travel; COM
Portable, well conducted hotel means a
pleasant town, and one that is inviting;
the slovenly managed house, badly
kept and run down, " has most natur-
ally the opposite effect. An attractive
hotel, which pleases the traveller, is
the best and cheapest advertisement
that town can possibly possess. IL is
for tins reason that all the citizens
should be interested in its welfare and
lend helping hand when possible
This plain, simple, indisputable fact
is, indeed, too seldom recognized by
the townspeople. -

The happiest man in town since
Tuesday is the genial landlord OF Hotel
Belding, w. T.. Hetherington. On
that day he and G. Nj. Wise were out
to Twin lake on a fishing trip when he
managed to hook the largest bass ever
taken in these parts, it tipping the
beam at just eight pounds when taken
from the water. 1t pleased him more
to land that fish than it would to sue
ceed Piugree as governor of Michigan.
