One conviction which has been deep- ly impressed upon the mind of the world by the results of the recent war is: that the Spanish soldier and the Spanish sailor are generally heroic fighters, but that their officers are, as rule, fiighty and incompetent. The late conflict, so far as it disclosed Spain's fighting power, was simply a case of good machinery in the hands of bungling engineers. a.z-

CATHOLIC FAIR A SUCCESS.

The ladies of the Catholic society
have an established reputation for
making a great success OF all their
undertakings, and the fair held by
them last week, closing Saturday
night was no exception, netting that
society the very neat sum of $3l4.
Iona seems to have been lucky in
holding nearly all the winning num-

gents gold watch, ring and violin, also
the prize to the most popular young
lady was awarded TO Miss Maggie Me-

FARMERS INSTITUTE
For Ionia County, January IL and ls.-Im-
portant Questions tn be Discussed.

For Ionia County, January = and lS.-Im
portant Questions To be Discussed.
The Ionia county farmers institute
will be held in Ionia, January IL and
Is. The management IS endeayoring
to make it as complete in all its APP
pointments as possible The state
speakers and lecturers on the program
are guarantee that every department
of farm work will be handled. The
local speakers were selected in defer
ence to the success made by them in
the particular line In which they are
placed.
Mrs. Il. +. Kelsey has charge OF the
woman's session to be held In the after
noon of the 18th OF January. Mrs.
Irma Il. Jones, OF state reputation,
will assist Mrs. Kelsey in making this
session of interest to every woman in
the county.
The following named state speakers
will take part in the discussion:
A. p. Gray on growing and market
ing fruits.
Colon c. Lillee on crops, soil fertility,
dairy and beef feeding
Q. C. Howe, michigan, its Possibil-
tiles and Markets"
Secretary Bird, "The Farmer as a
Business Man.
Milo ID Campbell on Taxation"
DR.. II. b. Baker on Sanitation.
1t is of the last Importance that the
farmer should thoroughly understand
his vocation. The time is passed when
the tiller of the soil was confined to
two or three products, and all that was
necessary for a bountiful harvest was
to plow. SOW and reap.
The exhaustion OF the soil in the
New England states, the loss OF fertili-
ty in the Middle states, has been caused
by hap-hazzard farming. II Michigan
and even Ionia county is TO be saved
from barrenness, il must be from a
better knowledge OF farming. The
lands in the older settled towns in this
county are selling now at 10 to 70 per
cent below the prices obtained in the
newer towns.
These farmers institutes as conduct
ed in the western states, are colleges
of instruction TO the agriculturist;
there is no other institution where in
brief period SO much can be learned.

w. C. T. U. COLUMN.
Paid Dear for His Fun.

The following incident illustrates the
fact that in some places prohibition
does prohibit. The little town of
Mount Pleasant, Brant county, Ontario,
has small w. c. Il. u. whose MEM
bers are energetic, Christian women,
and they, with the help of other good
people, have for three years prevented
their one hotel keeper from getting a
license to sell liquor.
The county w. G. T. u. convention
was held there recently and the w. G..
7. U. delegates from the city near
Mount Pleasant, about sixteen ladies,
hired conveyance and driver from
the livery. Knowing that there was
no liquor sold at the hotel, they
thought it would be safe place for the
young man to get his dinner. How
ever the proprietor having no regard
for law, thought it would be excellent
fun TO get the driver of the W. G. L.
U. women drunk. So before it was
time for them to return, they learned
that their driver was in the bottom of
the wagon dead drunk. Two OF the
ladies returned by train, and arrange
ments were made for the return of the
others.
Within about ten days the proprietor
of that hotel was arrested for selling or
giving liquor without a license, was
convicted and sentenced to pay a fine
and costs of eighty-four dollars. The
prosecution was by the official author
titles, and not by the w. G. 7. U. The
man has since sold out and lett the
town. EMMA A. WHEELER.

Tie last aecy,f the - ss'|y Bennett
rYsrior casa Is es&Sro&d Monday
afternoon, when he received his sem
tence from Judge Davis for the killing
OF Moses Walker, which was II years
in Jackson prison. At the first trial
he received life sentence but new
trial was ordered by the supreme
court which resulted in a verdict of
manslaughter and sentence as above
stated. The Sentinel says:
1.-THE matter has not been hastily de-
cided by the court, and the final action
of Judge Davis will meet with general
approval. His remarks before passing
sentence are sound and will be read
with interest. The contest during
both trials has been stubborn, thor
oughly handled by the attorneys on
both sides. Mr.. Chaddock, for the
people, left no stone unturned to gain
the end he believed to be right and
just and as the leading attorney for
the defense Mr.. Nichols has also shown
himself to be one of the best attorneys
OF the state. No man in Michigan
could have more ably or diligently
labored for Benefits freedom.
"Bennett received his sentence with
usual calmness, though he appeared To
be suffering severe mental strain as he
took his seat. Many thought he would
get off easier but IL he thought sc
himself he did we'll in concealing any
manifestation of surprise "

Folly of business Men

Probably il is true, as has been stat
ed, that no-license failed in Berrien
county because certain men were
afraid it would hurt their business.
How poor "A tribute to pay to their good
sense by such a course. Some one has
stated the case we'll by saying, that
when a man comes to town to trade
simply because there is a saloon there,
he spends his money for whiskey and
beer and incidentally buys few groc-
cries, dry goods or other things.
Whereas, the class of people who sup
port town are not aiming for beer
saloon every time they head for town.
Furthermore, when saloons are driven
outof place there is some chance
hat mans wife can get some of his
pay, even II he does get away as soen
as he can TO some other place to spend
it. With two or three saloons between
his shop or factory and home, it is
often chance if he ever brings any
part of il home at all. Business men
who support license for the sake of the
trade that liquor brings them ought to
be obliged to support the families OF
the drunkards the saloon creates and
relieve decent people of heavy bur-
den. How many would ever be on the
town but for this wonderful friend OF
business men? How many business
men there are to whom bills are owing
while the money to pay them goes tc
the saloonkeeper and brewer? Yet
they like it,
