DEWEY DROPS.

THE Dewey craze" has possession OF
New York. but that city viii not suffer
on account OF 81. The visitors viii pay
the bills. IL IL expected that they VIII
leave millions OF dollars behind them
Hotel-keepers, however. are little ap-
prehensive that the reports which have
gone out that they are already over
crowded" and that their charges are
''exorbi,ant," will lessen the attendance
They are wrong. Thousands OF persons
have the craze badly and will go to New
York. II II costs them their last cent
We must say. however that New YORK
IS going to give a great show. Chicago
might equal It in getting up land pa
rade. but IL would be Impossible for the
Windy City to rival the splendid water
pageantry which Gotham proposes.
The procession ashore will be headed
by Sousa's band and drum corps, aug
mented for the occasion, numbering lSo
pieces. There will be ten trombones,
twenty-four comets. twenty clarinets'
and other instruments in due proportion.
The New York Herald reports that an
effort was made. to get Admirals Sampson
and Schley to ride together In the same
carriage. but 1T failed! Neither man
liked the arrangement. Sampson will be
there on duty, while Schley will be there
merely as a visitor. However. Schley was
at the naval battle Of Santiago ana
Sampson wasn't.
Az vet no arrangement has been made
for tho appearance of the Grand Army
men in line They could not have the
first place, and they want no other. In
this matter they have shown character
istic mod,sty. rand-Commander Shaw
has announced that he will not be pres
ent. The show will take place all the
same.
The Forty-eighth Highlander Regi-
ment. OF Toronto, Canada, have
made all arrangements to go to
New York and participate in the
parade. But II would seem they
are doomed TO disappointment, for
It is now said that the Governor-General
will withhold from them the necessary
permit! Ne has no objection to the High
landers honoring Dewey. but he thinks
the jolihcation necessarily involves re-
ioicing over Spain's defeat Really, il
would seem so We suggest that the
Highanders and the Grand Army men
have a side show of their own.

The Chicago papers are now alleging
that New York has formed a Dewey
monopoly. and that invitation commit
tees from other cities will be kept in the
background until the great metropolis

New York's plan, as originally conceived,
was to keep the committees from seeing

The Joneses in Belding.

Mr.. Thomas Jones and family were
in Belding last Saturday. A represen-
tative Of the BANNER found the Hon.
Thomas Jones enjoying one of Dick
Stevens Leader ci igars and was granted
a very pleasant interview.
The reporter learned that the family
was in the city for the purpose of con-
tracing for the materials for aud the
building of their new house, purchas-
ing supplies, and arranging for its fur
nishing in all its details.
Mr.. Jones believed they could com
plete their buying in two days, as they
had in mind nearly everything wanted.
They bad obtained copies of the BAN
NER some time ago, and from n close
study OF its advertising and local news
columns, had learned of the people who
kept the goods desired. After making
their purchases, they would leave for
IA visit to Mr.. Jones boyhood's home in
Fulton county, N. Y, and return only
when their house was nearly completed.

Jones Invests in Real Estate.

Hon. Thos. Jones had been in cor
respondence with Adam Wagner, the
we'll known real estate dealer, in re-
gard to purchasing desirable lots upon
which TO build his new house. He
found Mr.. Wagner in his real estate
and insurance Office in the'new Belding
block, and they went out to inspect
the property, which was IN the desira-
BILE North Park addition. Mr.. Jones
was satisfied with the lots and the
reasonable price named, aud expressed
his faith in Belding realty. The
transfer OF the property was made. Mr..
Jones also bought farm from Mr..
Wagner's extensive list of desirable
farm properties, as an investment. He
with Mr. Wagner, who is the
secretary OF the Belding Building &
Loan Association, to act as his agent
in loaning "A large amount of money on
safe real estate security. Then Mr..
Jones smilingly remarked he could
now claim to be a citizen and property
owner of Belding.

and did justice to the excellent meal.
The girls and Tom Jr., had been inspect
ing the city. They were enthusiastic
over the high school and its library,
the manufacturing plants, the business
buildings, and the churches.
The family spent the evening in the
private parlor assigned to their use.
In order to divide up the work for the
next day, Mr.. Jones said he would look
after the buying of carriage and har-
ness. He would order the BANNER to
follow them east, as by its regular peru
sal they would become familiarized
with their future towns-people. He had
also little shopping to do, and must
order {. dress suit for the reception.
His only one was getting positively
shabby.

OF looking up and recommending a

MRS THOMAS JONES
PAPER or No PAPER.

The question of using wall paper or
not using it in new house, was one
difficult for Mrs. Jones TO decide. She
appealed to Mr.. Jones, but be only said,
"Please yourself, my dear" | will be
satisfied either way" Mrs. Jones came
to Connell Bros saw beautiful pattern
of paper, hesitated and was lost. She
went INTO the store. Mr.. Jones smiling
ly followed. She was shown so many
handsome patterns for wall and ceilings
that she could do no less than comprom-
ise and ordered paper for the sitting
room from Conuell Bros. spring stock
for 1899, believing it would give a more
COSY effect.

Joneses have come into very tidy
fortune and mean to get all the good
out of it that money can secure.
Hon. Thos. Jones has secured an
eligible site and let the contract for
building a modern twelve room cot
tage to cost about $1,000. The floor
and walls of the bath room will be
covered with white tiles and the floor
Of the vestibule with mosaics. Tom jr.
and Winifred insisted that there should
he bicycle room, and the architect
readily evolved one that will be used
in many OF his future plans for modern
homes.
The Joneses have decided to give a
reception on the completion of their
new house, which undoubtedly will be
"a notable social event.
