The Man or Men

Who can drink the quantity of drug utcre whiekey in one day that those New Haven detectives did. and re- member all their doings that day, must be heteroclitical f1ibbertergib- bet But the people who are foolish enough to drink the tea and coffee which some people are guilty of selling knocks the spotters sky high. We can't understand why sensible people will pay good money for poor tea and coffee, when they can just as easy come to our store, and get the good kind for the same price they pay for the poor quality elsewhere. Well, the liquor spies are through with their sensational work and the excitement has all blown over; now, since such is the case, we hope and trust they have shown hundreds, yes thousands of people. that it's all folly to drink in 1oxicating drink every time you're thirsty. It's all nonsense to have such ideas. Just try some good. clean. nice tasting tea or coffee when you are thirsty next time and see how much happier and contented you will feel. Remember, one pound of our Tea will make 375 cups Of delicious beverage Figure it out and see how much per cup it costs you. 50 cents per pound and 4 bars of best soap with each pound. Say, who would see their child without sled in winter, when you can purchase q good one for 24 celts at

Thursday, July 4th, 1901.

The new law governing elections in
cities requires that the mayor, city
clerk and treasurer be elected here
after for term of two years instead
of one and will make the position of
city treasurer, especially, a much
Sought-after position. The act pro-
videS that in cities of the second,
third and fourth classes all officers
chosen by the electors excepting
aldermen in cities governed by special
charter, shall be for a term of two
years. The act does not affect any
officers whose terms exceed two years.
Grand Rapids is in the fourth class
and SO will come under this act A
short term of office is as rule the safest
for the people, and we view with
mistruSt the tendency to long terms
but where the heightened term only
amounts to two years the danger can
not be great. This law was an effort
to secure uniform biennial elections
throughout the state, and in that
respect it is commendable, but
connected with this effort is an
attempt on the part of otfice-seekers
to raise the salaries of mayors SO that
its honorary character will be subSidi
airy to it's financial character This
latter sentiment should be frOwned
upon, because it would bring to the
office no better men nor service, anC
would degrade it in the estimation o.
the best thought of the country. In
this city the new law will effect only
the offices of mayor and city treasurer

The annual meeting of the First
| Congregational church was held on
| Monday evening and proved to be of
unusual interest. There was a large
attendance The various reports
| showed the church more prosperous
than in any period of it's history. The
congregations have steadily inceaSed.
| The Sunday school has almost doubled
| the number of it's scholars New
members have been received at every
communion. Many leading men of
the city have shown practical
interest and make substantial cOntri-
buttons for carrying on the work of
the church. The treaSurer'S accounts
gave especial satisfaction, although
the pastors salary had been raised and
other expenses increased, yet there
was good balance on hand after pay
ment of all liabilities. These facts
gave jul9ilant tone to the meeting
and called forth hymn of gratitude
The different officers having done
their work SO we'll were all reelected
1t was decided to renOvate the church
and a committee was appointed for
that purpose. The building of the
new parsonage was deferred until next
year. One of the most pleasant Incl
dents Of the meeting was the hearty
and unanimous appreciation of the
pastors work. 1t was resolved to give
expression to it by a standing vote
1t was felt also that the efficient and
faithful services of the musical
director, Mr.. T. A. Taylor, deserved
special recognition and in the same
manner enthusiastic thanks were
rendered to him for his great interest
in the music of the church and to the
chOriSterS for their hearty cooperation
with him in making the worship of
song SO hpInfu1

At The Green Bay Depot,

The section of the city round about
the Green Bay depot, seems distinct,
almost separated from the balance OF
Grand Rapids kind of suburb, SO to
speak. In this suburb is the big round
house of the Green Bay road, the Grand
Rapids Table Co. factory, the pickle
factory, the Love Hotel and the store
and saloon of Frank Norowatzky. 1t
might be termed the Green Bay suburb
to the city. The fact that the Green
Bay road isso separated from the other
roads and depOts in the city and in its
earlier history was not the most
prosperous and up-to-date road in
Wisconsin, has given to the people OF
this place an almost sentimental
interest in it's doings and welfare
Although to-day it is a very progress,
siye, prosperous thoroughfare and has
the neatest, incest depot in the city
It's depot is the only one on the east
side of the river, and the section of the
city round about it has a promising
future in store for it.

account of the posters thrown about
the city in the afternoon urging
citizens to attend it and express

business brought the franchise subject
before the council it was moved and
carried that the proposed ordinance
on the subject be referred to the city

the matter dropped. It seems that
