Flemming Warehouse sold.

Mr.. }. w. Flemming has sold his
warehouse and business in this city to
NJ. *. Chandler of Detroit, the deal
taking place this week. Mr.. Flem-
ming is undecided as to his future
course, having several good offers
open to him, but expects to follow up
similar line OF business somewhere
else. The BANNER regrets to have
MIN leave us for he has certainly
proved a genuine hustler and has
oullt up an extensive business from
nothing and has spread the fame of
our city abroad as a central market
tor poultry, butter and eggs, and has
benefited the farmers very much
thereby. As he has residence prop
erty here yet it may be some little
time before he gets 1t all disposed of
and removed entirely.
The new proprietor Mr.. Chandler is
large wholesaler with Offices i'm half
a dozen cities, although his head
quarters are in Detroit, and the busi-
ness here will continue TO be conduct
ed great deal the same as before
this change in ownership, Mr.. James
Wilson of Alma coming here and tax
ing charge for Mr. Chandler. The
BANNERwishes success to both old and
new proprietors.

THE NEW VOTE LAW.
Goes Into Operation This spring
some Important Changes
Made

1t will be M ws to large number OF
citizens of 'chigan that the last
Legislature pl sided for an important
amendment TO the election law which
will become operative this spring for
the first time.
The law now provides that after the
election ballots are printed each bal
lot shall be perforated across the
right hand upper corner, and that
each ballot shall be numbered upon
this corner.
When the voter receives a ballot
the number of the ballot is taken by
election Inspector, and when the vot-
er energies from the booth, after hav-
ing prepared his ballot and offers it to
the election Inspector, his name shall
be called and the mum Der of the ballot
which was given TO him must CORE
spond with the one offered the in
spector.
Before the ballot is deposited in the
box the inspector is required to tear
OIL the perforated corner.
The object of the law is to prevent
the use of ballots outside the booths.
1t has been found that frauds have
been practiced in some of the larger
cities by procuring a blank ballot
and after fixing it up to give it to
voter, who will pass through the
booth, and give the prepared ballot to
the Inspector, retaining the blank
ballot received and Offering it as evil
ience of having voted the prepared
ballot.

Latter Day saints Have No Connec-
ton or sympathy With the
u tab MOrmOns

The statement that the Latter Day
Saints talked of buying the present
Nj. Il. church building seem to have
caused considerable worry on the part
of some. A lady is reported as saving
al society meeting that she hoped
they (the Methodists) would not sell
TO the Mormons. The facts are there
are no Mormons in Belding that we
are aware of. The Reorganized
church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints are not and never have been
connected with that people, further
more they have done more to put
down the evils of Utah Mormonism
than all the rest of the churches com
bined. The faith of the Latter Day
Saints is the same today as when the
church was first organized i'm 1890 and
has always remained the same. About
the year 1910 when the church num-
bered 100000 Brigham Young led TO-
eco away TO Utah and there set up his
abominable church, teaching Adam,
God-worship, blood atonement and
polygamy. However we understand
even they do not teach these things
any more, but are teaching the gospel
as they understand it. We of the re-
organization have to bear the stigma
which rightfully belongs to that peo-
pie.
As to the belief of our people obtain
ing the gift of eternal life through
obedience to the Gospel law as laid
down in the Bible, we believe that
the Bible should be the standard of
evidence, and the end of all dispute
regarding religious matters when al
lowed to be its own interpreter.
Should the deal for the Nj. f.. church
take place the words IAN Open Bible
and Free Pulpit" probably win be
placed on the door when into full pos
session of it, as our people believe in
according TO others the same privi-
ledges and rights that we would wish
of others where we had no church |
building, Over seventeen years ago |
| embraced the Restored Gospel after
several months of investigation, and
from that day to this 7 have never
seen an hour when hav3 doubted the
trnthfulness.o of this aplor@. hence feel |
that the establishment of the church |
here should be welcomed by all lovers
of truth and purity.
Yours for truth and nothing but the
truth O. j. WHEELER.

THE EXPERIENCE or OTHERS.
The Banners Position is Endorsed
by Others Who Judge From
Practical Experience.

For some time past the BANNER has
been steadily and faithfully advocat.
ing the adoption of the plan by
our city council now in vogue in
so many other cities and towns of en-
couraging the building of cement side
walks, by offering rebate which
would make the cost practically the
same as any other kind to the indi-
vidual. We have watched carefully
the workings of this plan elsewhere
and have failed to discover one in
stance where it failed to give satis-
faction or where once tried was aban-
doned. From our own Investigations
we are satisfied that three-fourths of
the taxpayers of the city favor the
plan but up to this time our city
fathers have taken no action looking
to its adoption. 1t is only delayed
however and is bound to come.
The Portland Review in it's last is
sue says: The Belding Star takes the
position that the city should not pay
a part of the expense attached to
building cement walks. There are
many cities and villages in the state
where the councils offer a rebate TO
builders of these kind of walks and in
variably the result is satisfaction
The Review believes the time will
come when the justice of such a move
will not be questioned The general
public uses the walk far more than
does the property owner himself and
Shoulp bear a part of the cost. If
cities and villages went even further
and took complete charge of sidewalk
taxing the entire cost
against the municipality, there would
DC fewer damage suits to fight and |
he individual cost would be no great
er than at present.
The Saranac Advertiser also SAYS: |
The Belding Star makes a kick
against the city paying part of the
Expense of cement walks. We do not |
believe the Star looks at this subject
n the right light. In the first place
good cement walk insures the CITY
against a damage suit for years, and
gain, sidewalks are built for the
'enefit of the public and why should
lot the public help pay for them.
When tAe cement walks that have
'een contracted for are finished, Sar-
mac will have the best sidewalks of
ny town of its size in the state, and
he village paying part of the ex-
ense is in a large measure the reason
'hy we have so many cement side
,alks

OBITUARY.
Another Good Mother Finished Her
Work and Called TO Rest.

Another Good Mother Finished Her
Work and Called to Rest.
Mrs Sarah Vertrees Ireland was
born at Ft. Wayne, Indiana, July 4th,
1888, and died in this city March 10th,
1902 Aged IS years, months, II
days. When five years of age, with
her parents, she moved TO Lee County,
Illinois, where she lived over sixty
years. Converted at thirteen years
of age, she has lived an exemplary
christian life, being a member of the
Methodist church of this city at the
time of her death.
She was married to William W.
Ireland at Dixon, Illinois, December
Is, 1856. Seven children were born to
them, four of whom SURVIVE her-T.
Frank, Chas. A. and Mrs. Wadsworth
of this city, and Mrs. Il. a. Wilder of
Boone, Iowa. After the death of her
husband in 1898. she made her home in
our city and has endeared herself to
many friends. Were we to name the
marked characteristics, we would say,
Hers was a christian, motherly, gem
erous, friendly, joyous life.
The mother makes or unmakes the
home; the keynote of this home was
Loyalty in its highest and purest
sense. Loyalty to that highest in
stinct in the human heart, which is
only satisfied by love for our Maker
and obedience to his divine commands.
Loyalty to husband and children,
which made the home consecrated
spot TO each member of the household.
Loyalty to friends and neighbors,
many of whom called upon her for
help in times of need, distress and
pain, but never called i'm vain.
Her mother heart not only brooded
over those given especially into her
keeping, but, making the fireside cir
Gle little wider, many a motherless,
homeless, unfortunate one was taken
into her home, cared for prayed for,
loved. until today from places far and
near, these men and women call her
blessed and mourn the loss of true
friend.
Since the death of the husband, af-
ter life of over forty years together,
her joyousness seemed dimmed and
life held little for her save what she
might add to the happiness of those
nearest and dearest and as welcome
release. After life well spent she
heard the 'well donen of her Creator.
Funeral services at the home this
Thursday afternoon at 3 p. m, Rev.
Carman officiating. At 7:44 the
friends will leave with the remains
for LaMoille, Ill.,, where the burial
will take place Friday.

One Cnsc of smnn pox

Although it has been all around us.
Belding has entirely escaped the
small poX epidemic until the present
week. Jesse Dap was taken sick and
Monday morning came down to Dr.
Dutt's Office to consult him. The
doctor decided he had a well defined
case of small pox and sent for city
health officer Ohlinger, who also con-
frmed Dutt's diagnosis. He is now in
quarantine at the residence of his
father, and the board of health
promptly proceeded to fumigate all
places where possible contagion was
suspected and is in every way trying
TO prevent further spread. No alarm
has been occasioned particularly or
any effect on business, as many people
have doubts about ii really being
small poX, and if it is, it is thought he
WINS quarantined too early to cause
other cases. Now remember the ad-
vice given by the BANNER several
weeks ago, don't get excited. be care
full of your diet, take proper exercise

have many fears,

the boy who is now dead, found under
a sidewalk, small bottle wrapped i'm

reddish liquid. Young McSherry
drank part of it and offered the re-

that it tasted sweet. The latter
drank a little of it, and then they
threw the bottle into the river. A
