PASTOR MUNGER RESIGNS.

Rev. w. L. Munger, pastor Of the
Baptist church, resigned his pastorate
here at the close OF his service Sun

the officiating clergyman of that de-
nomination for the past five years and
under his leadership while there has
not been large growth in the men,
bership the society is on sure and
solid foundation spiritually and finan-
cially through his earnest labors and
consistent christian life and teachings.
He has received call to church in
Jackson to which place he will re-
move soon. His resignation takes eff
feet Feb. |.
The resignation will be accepted and
negotiations are already in progress
with young minister who has been
assistant pastor in one OF the large
Chicago churches TO come here. A

JUDGE MORSE MAY RUN.

The Grand Rapids Press is authority
for this: fter a short season of re-
trement to private life, 1t is said that
Judge Allen B. Morse of Ionia may be
dragged out again to take a chance at
public life once more. He has been
frequently mentioned as a possibility
for the Democratic nomination for the
Supreme bench, and although he has
given the boom no encouragement as
yet, it is believed that under certain
conditions he might accept nomina-
tion. The judge has been in the city
several times lately, comforting with
friends upon business and other mat
ters. He is quoted by one of his friends
as saving that in case Justice Grant Is
renominated he would not make the
race, as he regards Grant as exception
ally strong, but with Maynard as the
nominee, he is willing to enter the
field. The sentiment among many Of
the local Democrats is in favor of wait
ing until the Republicans have acted
before making their own nominations -

The Grand Rapids Paper Box Co !,
who closed a contract Wednesday with
Edward Wallerstein s. Co, will estab-
lish branch factory in this city for
the manufacture of paper boxes, which
we understand will employ about 10
hands at the start and increase accord
ing to the demand for boxes. The
location of the factory is south of the
d. IL NJ. railroad, the old Bartlett"
barn property having been purchased
of Geo orge l.. Kelner for that purpose,
the price paid being $1,000. Work Of
fitting up the building will be com
menced at once, and boxes will be
turned out inside Of two or three weeks.
1t is also rumored that other branch
factories will be moved here. -Ionia
Sentinel
AS Belding has the only other branch
factory we know of owned by this COM
pany it is TO be presumed that the last
sentence refers to it. If so there is
about as much danger OF its being
moved there as there is of-well, of
Ionia getting the L. g. Il. railroad for
instance.

MORE LOOMS ARRIVE.

Two car loads of looms arrived for
the Belding Bros. & Co. last week.
This invoice will fill up the floor space
which was set apart for that purpose
when the company decided to begin the
work of weaving silk fabrics at this
point. They will be put in operation
as soon as the superintendent OF that
department, w. l.. Slack, and his as
sistants, gets them properly adjusted.
The experiment of weaving has proved
successful and we predict that at no
very distant day as many more will be
added to the plant.
