and many more drove up. Most Of

We nave heard the question asked
many times why the big shows stop
at Ionia and Greenville but not at
Bedding. 1t is easily answered. If it
came here there would be less than a
hundred come down from Greenville,
while at Greenville they get six hun.
dred from Belding.
Fourth of July was very quiet day
in Belding. Probably most that cared
to attend celebration went to Lo-
well, but a large number scattered
far and wide, taking advantage of the
low railroad rates to visit relatives
and friends. Then there was another
section that scattered out to the vari-
Gus lakes for the purpose of fishing |
and rusticating. What few there
were left at home were satisfied to
enjoy the day quietly without trying
to kick up much noise or disturbance.
