DEATH OF MRS. CARPENTER.

Our people were much shocked Sun
day to learn of the death of Mrs. Ed.
Carpenter at her home short dis
lance southeast of the city, that
morning. 1t came TO her friends like
a thunder clap out OF clear sky, and
causes deep sorrow that she should
have to lay down her life, just in its
morning.
Mable Swinehart-Carpenter was
born in Rome City, Ind, Nov. 2Sth,
1876, and was consequently not quite "a
years of age. She came to Michigan
with her mother in 'S3 and five years
years ago they came to Belding. She
was united in marriage to Eddie Car
penter Sept. oath, last year, and they
have since resided on his farm. She
leaves a kind husband and dear
mother to mourn her loss, as we'll as a
large circle Of friends who had learned
to love her. Her life might be said to
be like the bright sunbeam that for a
little while sheds its cheerful light
and warmth round about and then
vanishes with the next passing cloud.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday, Rev. Mcconnell officia-
ting, and the order OF Foresters at
tended

THE CONCERT COURSE.

The patrons OF the course may be
interested in the financial features
The talent this year costs more than
last year-more than ever before while
there are two less events the sale of
reserved seats is reduced. To balance
this the reserved seats for The Fadetts
and the Jubilee Singers will be sold
at 20 cents, the others at 15c and 10c.
This will make the total cost of reserv-
ed seats less than they were last year.
They will be placed on sale as usual at
Benedict's three days before each num-
Der, not more than to be sold at one
time to each person which seems by ex-
pierence to be the fairest way AIS
season tickets on sale next Monday by
Supt. Marvin and w. |. Benedict,
druggist.

OUR TURN TO KICK.

| The BANNER has never posed as
"kickern and does not desire to do so
now, but there are times when we feel
we are rightfully entitled TO kick IL
has tendency TO make Us tired to use
the slang phrase of the streets, TO see
our business men caught by every adj
yertising fakir that comes along, no
difference how bald the scheme.
There was one here last week In con-
nection with patent medicine adyertis-
ing that was one OF the thinest we
have seen, yet he got between $40 and
$50 out OF it, according TO reports
A bout one-half the concerns represent
ed thereon, have not done dollars
worth of advertising with the local pa
pers during the past year, yet anyone
of the local papers would yield them
far better returns for their money
than such schemes. When a peddler
comes TO town, and the people buy OF
him, often to their own detriment UNI
doubtedly, the merchants rush to the
newspaper and invoke his aid to drive
the peddler out, but what about when
the advertising fakir strikes town and
robs the merchants worse than the
peddler ever did the populace. You
know If local Office had went around
and solicited ads. for anything OF sim
liar nature, we could not have secured
one half, no, not one-quarter the price
you paid the stranger, and yet we live
here, spend our money here, and help
support the town in every way. The
pay roll in the BANNER Office has
averaged between $40 and $50 per
week the past six months and this
money is practically all spent right
here in Belding. Is it fair to pass by
your townspeople and spend your mon
ely with strangers, who care nothing
for you or your business beyond get
ting all they can out of you?

is aimed to have some short addresses
made at each meeting.

There is occasionally thing that
the editor don't know, of course, but
there are so many things he does know
without half trying that in spite of the
cold, he could be as warm as any in the
bunch. Now really, if an editor told
everything he actually knew, he would
burn out between each edition. Some
people subscribe for the home paper
to show their appreciation of what the
editor has to say; others, because they
appreciate what he might say and
don't It's a queer world: everyone
says what he pleases about the editor.
Rev. w. FL. Thomas, of Ionia, who
was nominated by the democrats for

was any show to win, he could hardly

In accordance with the promi-
nent line on the dodgers announcing
the game it was fast foot ball played
by the high school teams of this city
and Darlington at tle fair grounds
last Saturday afternoon. Darlington
won by score of 6 to 0. The touch
down was secured through tumble
by our boys about twenty five yards
from their goal, and one of the Dar-
lington players proved keen enough
to gather up the bali and, having "a
clear field, easily succeeded in car
rying it over the line. What we
know about foot ball wouldn't be of
much advantage to our boys, still it
is quite evident they lack at times
the ''all together" method necessary
to accomplish what they purpose,
also the mack of freezing to the ball
when in their hands. However, they
are capable of learning, and promise
to develop into strong team.

The Expected Has Happened.

For some time there has been
strong suspicions that Comrade Jas.
A. Hoar contemplated "A raid upon
the Woman's Relief Corps, with a
purpose of capturing one or more of
Its fair members. There were inti-
nations that the design might be
carried out Tuesday evening, and
preparations of rice, crude musical
instruments and other missiles were
on hand for the emergency. But
Mr.. Hoar was found at his usual
haunts that evening, and went to his
home at the normal time, passing
the camp which he was expected to
attack with apparent Indifference.
Ihus were the gossips frustrated and
discomfitted.
A day later, however, "the expected
happened On Wednesday even
ing, the 24th, Mr.. James A. Hoar and
Mrs. r.. NJ. stephens being united in
marriage, at the home of the bride !;
Rev. Geo. Merrifield performing the
ceremony in the presence of the sons
and daughters, their wives, husbands
and children, of the contracting par
ties. The general verdict is that this
Is a most fitting union Mr.. Hoar is
known and esteemed as one of our
1irst citizens enterprising, honora-
bic, large-hearted and genial. Mrs.
Stephens has all the womanly quail
ties to make such mans home IA
pleasant one. She has cheerfuluess,
industry, disposition to do what
good she can while passing through
life, and capability to do much.
The Tribune but voices the senti-
ment of this community in saying
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoar, we heartily con-
gratulate you both.
