town that goes far beyond its confines, anC
is TO its advantage
have read with great interest your articl,
on "Ihc Local Newspaper, and an exper
fence OF about thirty years in the newspaper
business makes il exceedingly interesting
reading to me. There is no one element in

weekly history of the town; and the historian
who should write history of Belding, would
find little of note, that has occurred during
