JOSIAH E. JUST CEAD.
The state Bank Commissioner Dies Very
Suddenly at Ionia-Was Brother
of Mrs Levi Broas of This City.


Josiah +. Just died very suddenly at
his home in Ionia, Saturday night.
He had been attending choir practice
and on returning home shortly after
ten clock he dropped his overcoat on
the floor and fell on the couch, at the
same time telling Mrs. Just TO hurry
and get something hot She saw at a
glance that her husband was suffering
and called doctor, who arrived about
five or ten minutes before the end
came. just before he died Mr.. Just
suffered great pain, and said he thought
he was losing consciousness, then fell
back dead He had a similar attack a
week ago. Mr. Just was accorded high
place in business circles in Ionia. His
career has been a successful one and a
credit to the citizenship of Ionia
county.
He was born December 20, lS47, his
parents settling in the township Of
Otisco, on the farm now owned by T..
r. Spencer in that year. He lived a
farm life until the age of Is, when he
entered the Lowell National Bank as
clerk. In 1870 he entered the banking
house of Webber g. Co. at Muir as
cashier, and ip 1872 filled the same
position at E;yShs until the bank there
was removed to Ionia in 1873 He
then returned to Muir as cashier until
the Muir bank was merged into the
name OF Webber Just a. CO iq ls.ss he
being associated with Mr.. Webber for
q years. Mr.. Just came to Ionia in
1886 and organized the Ionia County
Savings Bank, Of which he was cashier
up to the time OF his appointment as
State Bank Commissioners in February
1897, by Governor Pingree.
He was member of the Nj. +. church
and had sung in the choir for / ! years.
He was a brother of Mrs. Leyi Broas
of this city, w. }. Just of Ionia, |. n.
just of South Lyon, and DR.. John &.
Just Of Coral.
The funeral services were held in
Tonia Wednesday.

less wheat raised in this vicinity than
formerly However we see no reason
why mill on a smaller plan TO supply
the local markets would not be sue
cess financially as we'll as otherwise,
and we think that il the demand Is
found TO exist some one will be ready
To suppy it.
1t was indeed fortunate that IL should
have occurred at time when there
was such large body Of snow, as for
some time there was a regular rain oi
sparks, cinders aud fire brands upon
the planning mill and lumber yard adj
joining, the II. 5. Co. wooden office

Had it come during the hot dry wealth

nothing could have prevented it from

DON'T DO IL.

Some of the newspapers in Detroit
and other large cities have been of
late making "a strenuous effort to have
the people living in the interior viii
lages and cities of the state TO order
their goods by mail. The effort is one
that demands some attention from the
press of the state and from the coun-
try dealers, as ii is body blow at the
munities As general things goods
can be bought just as cheaply in Bel
ding as in the larger cities, you are on
the spot to make your selections, Bnd
your home dealers are right here to
rcctify any errors that may be made.
Besides that, the element Of loyalty TO
your home dealer, who is always ready
to extend accommodation TO you, who
spends his profits to help build up the
city, who pays large taxes TO help sup
port our sch ools and various insttu-
tions, should have great weight with
the intending mail order purchaser.
You can do just as well buying at home
and you will have the satisfaction OF
knowing that the money you spend is
being kept in circulation in your own
community, instead OF swelling the
Golfers Of some outside merchant who
has no interest in your welfare or in
the prosperity OF Belding.

1t is strange that the parents OF the
half-grown boys cannot see that these
same boys are being defrauded out OF
what is really their right, by being
allowed to give up school. Some day
the men of the next generation will
discover the truth of this, but it will be
too late then. One father declares that
his boy has already more education
than he got when boy, and that there
is no use of his wasting any more time
at school. The boy might make both
wiser and better man than his father
and the world be none the worse for it.

Generally win be Accepted--Ex-

Government VIII Pay All Expenses
in Going to AtIanta-Dr. JarreIps
Hospital Corps. rt.s
One OF the most absorbing questions with
the Savannah soldier boys, who are going
TO volunteer to so and fight for their
country, now Is whether they viii be abe
to pass the rigorous physical examination
which Uncle Sans soldiers are usually re-
quired to undergo before entering the serv-
ice. Tt fN-rt So .|.I. III
The requirements for the regulars have
been pretty strict, and there seems to be
general desire to know whether the vol
unteers will all nave to come up TO the
same standard. There has been no definite
Information on this point furnished as
yet. but the general belief is that while
the examination of the volunteers win be
quite rigid. 1t viii not go to the extreme
extent that army requirements usually
direct. A man who wears glasses need
not necessarily be, thrown out, it Is the
nearsighted and the color blind man that
the government does not, want. and, OF
course, could not take. a near-sighted
man is liable by mistake to fire on his
own comrades. and there is no telling what
the color blind man would do with all
sorts of flags around him. .
The volunteers from Savannah will not
be examined here, but in Atlanta. They,
must beyond question be good specimens
of physical manhood, not necessarily ath-
letes, but in good health and proportion.
The examining board will be composed of
two Georgia physicians, DR.. j. b. S.
Holmes Of Atlanta and Or. R. B. Barron
of Macon. appointed by Gov. Atkinson,
