pies in Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Died, at Johns Hopkins Hospital,
Baltimore, Md, Thursday, March rs,
1902, Miss Susan Adelaide Thompson,
OF HeIztbah, w. Va. The immediate
cause OF her death was stroke OF par
alysiS, which followed some two weeks
after a severe surgical operation. The
deceased was nieccOf Rev. Anthony
Garrett, one OF our best known and
honored pioneer Baptist preachers,
with whose family she lived most of
her life at the old Garrett homestead
on Lamberts Run, Harrison county.
Hers was one OF the purest and most
self.sacriiicing lives we have ever
known. Early in life she gave her
heart to Christ, uniting with the Hep.
zibah Baptist church, OF which she
was ever a consistent member. Her
example--her beautiful life OF service
! 10 others, is the heritage she leaves to
us, who remain.
The funeral services we're held at
the home of Lon Garrett, conducted
by her pastor, Rev. A. Is. WitherS, as
sisted by Rev. Geo. d. Griffin, after
| which her body was laid to rest in the
old Garrett burying ground on Lam
bcrts Run.

In some of the rural towns of the
west, particularly in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, a new social work is being
maugurated i'm behalf of the farmers
wives. Rooms are provided on the
business street of the town, where
farmers can make their headquarters
when i'm town. The rooms provided
free to all who come, rest room with
easy chairs, etc, and toilet room for
women; also reading rooms, and din
ing room with facilities fof hot coffee
and lunches.
Evart is just now following the pat
tern set by these towns and trying to
establish what the Review calls a
"town and country club house" TO
combine the principal features of
public library, village club house, Y.
NJ. G. A., and farmers rest room.
When the Evart project was being
talked over, letters were written out
west to ascertain whether the Far
mers' Rest Rooms was successful in
stitution and practicable. All replies
received were heartily in favor of the
movement.

THE NEW M.E.CHURCH

in the City.
AN IMPROVEMENT LONG NEEDED

\ Full Description of the Proposed
New Church To be Built this season
by the Methodists together with II
Picture so That You May See Just
How IL VIII Look.
The BANNER has contained the an
nouncement making reference in
various ways during few weeks past
that the members of the NJ f. church
of this city had decided upon erecting
a new editice this season but up to
this time we have not been able to
present any description of the pro-
posed new building beyond very gem
eral one. This week however we are
permitted to give full description of
the same, also present an excellent
view made from a water color draw
ing prepared by the architect l.. b.
Badgely of Cleveland, Ohio.
1t has been stated that they expect
ed to put up an edifce costing about
SIC, 900, but of course any one at all

Grace StahI is Dead.

Grace is dead. Whatever may have
been her sins of omission and COM
mission, it is all over now and she has
gone to answer TO her maker, so let
us draw the vail closer and remember
only the good. She made mistakes
ah, who of us does not.
Grace Anna Stahl was born at Big
Rapids July 81, 1880, and was conse-
quently 2l years of age. Her father
died in 80 and two years later her
mother and herself came to Belding
and have made this city their home
since. Her death occurred Wednes-
day at IL o'clock a. IN. Funeral SER

experienced i'm such matters Will see
very quickly that the cost completed
is bound to exceed that sum consider
ably. As no bids have yet been made,
the cost is matter of conjecture.
The members of that denomination
have been hampered for long time
by the smallness of their church
building, and the need of a larger and
better one has been felt and under
stood, but as the society is not
wealthy one, although having a large
membership, they have hcsitated
about undertaking what looked like a
big task But with the present pros
poets of increase i'm the growth of the
city and the generally. prosperous con-
dition of the city and country. there
seemed to be no better time than the
present for making the effort and
they according voted TO build this
year The description Of the propos-
ed edifce is as follows:
The size of the building is 65xll2
feet, and will corner ON Washington
and Pleasant streets. covering the
site Of the old church and parsonage.
The walls of the superstructure will
probably be of field stone, laid up in
ruble or rustic fashion, and relieved
with Ionia sandstone trimmings.
The principal tower is located at
the northeast corner, with two minor
towers to counterbalance the design,
one being located at the southeast
corner of the building. and the other
at the junction between the church
and Sunday school department. In
these towers are located the spacious
entrance vestibules leading 10 all
parts of the building,
The space between the principal
tower and the one at the southeast,
is occupied by a large reception parl-
or, which affords a convenient place
for social intercourse and which opens
on to the main auditorium by folding
doors, thus atfording extra sittings
when the occasion requires them.
The first floor contains church audi
torium, 30 feet square, with pulpit
located in the corner adjoining sun
day school department, with a choir
and organ alcoye Al right, and main
Sunday school room nj left Of pulpit,
the latter being separated from main
auditorium by an arched opening sim.
liar TO the one over choir. closed with
a mechanically operated lifting par
tition, frescoed and finished the same
as other walls of the building.
The seating is arranged in amphi
theatrical form on a bowlcd noor ris
ing from the pulpit..thc aislcs rad
ating like the lines of an open fan
thus bringing the mass Of the congre
CATION directly in front of the speak
er. The roof and ceiling are sustaine,
by eight arched trusses. starting from
the first floor line and concentratint
at the base of an octagonal dome o
stained glass, forming rich center

piece to the ceiling. This dome will
be lighted by large skylight in day
time, and in the evening by a group
of electric lamps, suspended over the
stained glass, between it and the sky
light. The electric lamps below the
dome will be so arranged as to empha-
size the architectural grace and
beauty of the interior.
The main Sunday school room is 30
x32 feet, together with parlor, prim-
airy department and three class rooms
all opening together with sliding sash
doors, thus forming vast auditorium,
from every part of which the speaker,
standing at the juncture of the two
rooms can be seen and heard with ease
by nearly 1000 people.
The rear entrance will be from the
south into the PASTORS study, which
will be used for the choir reception
room and also for the Sunday school
library.
The plans are so arranged that
there can be galleries built both in
the Sunday school department and
also in the main auditorium at any
future time,
The windows will be set with
stained glass.
The basement will contain reading
room, dining room. kitchen, toilet
rooms, furnace rooms, etc.

FOR A MILITARY COMPANY.
Meeting Called for Monday Evening
Next To- Decide the Matter.

The movement started in Belding
some time ago for the formation of
an independent military company
with a view of ultimately securing
admittance i'm the ranks of the Michi-
gan National Guard, has owing to
various reasons not progressed very
fast: but of late the projectors and
prime movers of the scheme have
been irving to stir the matter up and
expect a decision to be made either
favorable or unfavorable very soon.
A meeting is called for next Monday
evening at the Hubbell hall at which
not only those who are prospective
members of the company are expect
ed to be present but all citizens who
are i'm any way interested in the mat
ter are invited to attend so that they
may guage somewhat the general
sentiment regarding it. 1t is propos-
ed to have addresses made by capable
and interesting speakers so that you
will be well entertained and repaid
for your trouble. If you have any in
terest in seeing such an organization
in our city make ii point to attend
this meeting.
DR.. Sheldon has letter from S. A.
Graham of Port Huron, who in the
capacity of receiver for the defunct
company there has lot of property
of the kind necessary for sale at a
low price. The property consists of
81 Springfield Rifles, with Belts, Scab-
bords and Bayonets: 32 pair of Trous-
ers; 81 fatigue coats and 40 dress
coats; 36 caps; 27 pair white leggins;
43 helmets: and one sword and a flag.
He writes that he thinks that every
thing outside of the flag can be bought
for 5000.

our Reputation spreading.

Judging from the "kicks" in some
of our neighboring contemporaries
recently, Palo is not the only town
with the bad-sidewalk habit. Yes,
there are others, and conspicuous
among them are the first and second
cities of the county -Ionia and Bel
ding. -Palo Post.
True tits tits pity, and pity tits tits
true. But il is going to be different
when the city council adopts the re-
bate plan for cement walks. When?
oh, we don't know when.

MARRIED THIRTY YEARS.
John Emmons and Ills Good Wife OF
Grattan Celebrate Their An
niNersnrN.


Thirty years ago April Goth John
Emmons and Letitia Dimmick were
united in marriage and through tenn
perance, industry and economy they
have secured a good home, and what
is of more balm, host of true friends
in Grattan and vicinity.
Although Saturday was one of the
most disagreeable days that has been
Xperienced for long time for people
to venture out, still about 20 of their
many friends came to surprise them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Ackert of Green
Vile two of their life long friends
were present, everyone was in the
best of spirits, but none seemed to en-
JOY it quite as we'll as Mr.. and Mrs.
Emmons. After one of those good
dinners of chicken pie and other good
things the Hon, O. |. Watkins ad-
dressed them and gave one of those
pleasing talks that is full Of wit and
good sound sense, and presented them
with an order on a Belding firm for a
$l2.O0 couch. Both Mr.. and Mrs En-
mons responded, thanking. them for
the present but was more thankful
for their coming and spending the
day with them.
1t will be a day long remembered
by Alr and Mrs. Emmons as one full
of sunshine and gladness in their good
home and may they live long to enjoy
