smith Informs the Banner
Although David T.. Wilson has not
yet been officially notified OF his APP
pointment as postmaster OF this city,
the BANNER received letter Monday
morning from Mr.. Smith in which he
stated that Mr.. Wilson would be the
next postmaster OF Belding. Mr.. Will
son put up an exceptionally strong pull
for the place and in deciding in his
favor Mr.. Smith said, 81 do not see
how | can well disregard the tremen-
duous petitions filed with me in his
behalf"
A decision should have been arrived
at several months ago and Republi-
can enjoying the fruits OF Republican
success, but all along we have had a
good postoffice and good postmaster
and when Mr.. Cornell is called upon
to turn the business over TO his sue
cessor, which will probably be July 1,
everything will be found in a business
like and up todate manner.
Mr.. Wilson has resided in this city
twenty-seven years and has been an
answering Republican and never
sought or asked for Office before.
While there will be some dissatisfac-
tion over his appointment, no one will
question his qualifications and his
ability to keep the Office up to its pres
ent standard OF excellence.

Where every bright-hued blossom yields
It's CLINT and glory to the scene

The sunshine from the heavenly blue.

The author of this work has set himself
the task of making truly serious set of cir.

unquestionably succeeded, as he expresses
it. He wrote the book for the purpose Of
getting even with the myths and heroes Of
school days. The Comic History of Greecs
is witty and humorous, without being vul.
gar. About $50 illustrations illuminate the
lines from the pencils of half dozen artists.
The book is truly tickle tonic for the mel
