"Wayside Flowers. ."

The above is the title of a beauti-
fiji little volume of poems recently
published from pen of G.. Benjamin
Hopkins, who is the young man en-
ployed in the Chicago Office of Bel
ding Bros. q Co. A glance through
it convinces one that the gifted
young author is surely touched with
great genius which may some day
bring him large reward. A part of a
Decoration ode is as follows
They sleep today, our country's pride and
best
The "reveile'' will call them forth no more
No rude alarm disturbs their quiet rest;
Peace reigns today, the battles din is DER.
Columbia weeps; from shore to shore her
tears
FAN like dew-showers upon each heros
tomb:
Their memory dims not with the feetng
years,
But will like everlasting flowers bloom.
Old age and youth in arms together stood,
When came the hour of our countrys need;
The tried and true, the faithful and the good,
All deemed il pleasure in her name to bleed.
Upon their graves our brightest flowers are
strewn,
our sweetest songs are whispered in their
name;
They who were taken in their life's bright
| noon,
We sing today the story of their fame.

SATURDAYS BALL GAME.
Belding Defeated by Grand Rapids
Best Amateur Club.

Fielding Defeated by Grand Rapids
Best Amateur Club.
The Maroons of Grand Rapids and
the Belding team played fine game
of ball at Ellis Park last Saturday af-
ternoon, the Maroons winning by on
ly one run. There was some brilliant
playing as well as some that was
poor.
A stop of hot liner by Ranney be-
ing especially fine, the third base
playing of Bodine and Vandemell, the
short stop playing of Nobblett for
Grand Rapids, a Western Association
League player, and the out field play
ing of Soules. Driese at short picked
some hot grounders, throwing the
leet-footed Maroons out at First in a
manner which would make a profes-
sional proud. A new man signed by
the Belding Management however
was not declared a success by the
spectators.
The batting of both teams was
hard, especially by the Belding in the
7th inning where they secured seven
runs by hard and consecutive hitting
and dariup base rl1nninO

BUILD Cement WALKS.
They Look Best, Wear Best ana are
Cheapest in the End.

Cheapest I'm the End.
We think the BANNER has re-
marked before, if not it will say SC
now that il believes it TO be a sensi'
BILE and wise plan in vogue In many
cities and villages of the state to re-
bate a certain per cent of the cost
from the public treasury TO all who
build cement sidewalks. We believe
it to be a profitable investment for
the city or village to pay its share
and thus get first class walks that
will last for years. 1t is worthy OF
note that in every case that we know
of, where the experiment has been
tried it has worked very satisfactory
indeed and they could not be induced
to 90 back to the old methods and
wooden walks. We claim for Bel
ding that it is an up-to-date city
here is something worthy of investi-
cation.
In Cadillac at the last meeting OF
the council an ordinance was passed
requiring that cement walks only be
built in the principal parts of the
city. Exception is made for a few OF
the outlying districts.
The Carson City village council has
passed an ordinance making it com
pulsory that all sidewalks hereafter
built in that village shall be construct
ed either of cement or brick, wooden
sidewalks being barred entirely.
At the last meeting of the Michi.
gan Village Association the question
of walks was ,up for discussion the
following experiences were given:
President Lowell, of Romeo, said
his village built the walks for &C a
square foot and paid the entire cost
In front of business places the village
pays for feet wide and the property
owner the balance if he wants it wi.
der; in residence portions the walks
are feet wide.
Hartford has one mile of cement
walks, the village paying &c a square
foot of the cost when built under in
structions.
Manchester paid out $40 for ce
ment walks last year, giving the
property owner &c square foot.
President Warner, of Pennington
said his citizens get cement walks by
paying the village &c a square foot
in advance, and they built S,00l
square feet last year. They pay l0C
square foot for crosswalks.
Sparta Sentinel: At the present
rate of building Sparta will soon b,
without board walk, and at tn,
present time it has gained a reputa
tion throughout the state for having
the best walks of any town of its siz,
in Michigan. Good walks and beau
tiful homes have been the means o
bringing people here to reside, anc
every body is glad to see the gooo
work 60 ON.

Wanted to See the World.

Grand Rapids Democrat; Floyd
Young, a small boy of IL years, was
picked up in front of the police head
quarters at late hour last night.
He has a step-father by the name of
Seth Wood, who lives in Belding,
from which place he had run away.
When questioned by the police as to
why he ran away he said he wanted
to start out i'm the world and make
his own living. He claims that he
walked from Belding to Lowell and
from Lowell to this city, where he
arrived at o'clock yesterday after
noon. The police had been notified
10y the father of the lad to look out
for him and notify him as soon as
found, which was done.
