TO BUILD MORE HOUSES.
BeIding Bros. VIII Put Up Six-Both
silk Mill Boarding Houses to
Receive Additions.

To use the popular slang phrase OF
the day there is generally something
doing in our city when either one OF
both the the great silk magnates, NJ
NJ or A. n. Belding arrive i'm town
So well known is this that as soon as il
is reported that they are here the in
quiry begins to 60 round What new
plan have they got this time?' The
city of Belding owes them much, very
much, but they seem to find it pleas
ure to be constantly planning and in
vesting their money so that the city
may grow and prosper and find their
greatest reward in watching the
steady growth and Improvement of
the city. Long may they be permit
ted to live and take enjoyment there
in.
Last week a. N. Belding of Rock
vile, Conn, +. +. Crooks of North
ampton, Mass w. A. Stanton. +. c.
Young and Geo u. Richardson of
Chicago all arrived and registered at
Hotel Belding. They came for busi-
ness evidently as before they left it
was announced that it had been de-
cided to build large additions to both
silk mill boarding houses That of
the Belding Bros. & Co. will be on the
north side of the present building and
it will be of brick and stone to match
the present handsome structure. The
Richardson Silk Co.'s will also be on
the north from the present main
structure, tearing away such small
additions as are now standing on the
ground, and will be of wood. This
step is made necessary on account of
having insufficient accommodations
for the constantly increasing number
of help employed in their big factor
les.
Mr.. Belding also announced that
Beldlng Bros would at once or as
soon as details can be arranged build
six more new houses. They will all
be located on Morton ave, in the
same section where they built lot of
new houses last year. They will be
good sized, well built houses, of fine
design costing from $1,000 to $1,000
each, and will make nice homes.
This means, with the addition to
the new silk mill now well under way,
an expenditure of i'm the neighbor-
hood of 100000 i'm building operations
this season by the Belding interests
alone, and upon work now settled up
on With the new NJ t. church and
extensive private individual opera
tions we are bound to have a very
busy season and artisans and laboring
men are bound to be ngreat demand.
Men with grown families will find it a
desirable location for them as the
young folks are all in demand in the
| factories.

DEATH CLAIMED THEM.
Mrs. Cribb and Mrs. Slawson Died
within Few Hours of Each
Other.

The death of Mrs. Chas. A. Cribb
which occurred at the family resi-
dence on Ann st. i'm the second ward
about two O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing, came as a great surprise and
shock to her friends and acquaint-
ances. some of whom did not even
know of her sickness, and but few sup.
posed ii to be of dangerous nature.
Pneumonia was the cause of death and
her final illness was of short duration.
Her maiden name was LYDIA Cook
and she had the honor of being the
first white girl born in Grattan town
ship. She was % years of age the
second day of March and had been
married to Mr.. Cribb "a years Jan. 26th
last They were the parents of six
children, Joe who died s years ago,
Blanche. who died years ago, and
Maurice, Spencer, Mana and Irving
who with the devoted husband are left
to mourn her loss. They came to Bel
ding from Smyrna nine years ago to
reside, and had previously lived in
Naples, N. Y. The funeral services

MAJ. LOOMS WILL ACCEPT.
Republicans Have Been Urging Him
To Take County Chairmanship.

To Take County Chairmanshtp.
Maj. A. T. Loomis is being urged by
his friends TO accept the chairman
ship of the republican county com
mittee, a position which his expert
ence with state politics and his ac'
quaintance with the methods of sue.
cessful politicians especially fits him
for. Mr.. Loomis was for four years
private secretary to Governor Rich,
generally credited with having the
longest head of any of the men who
shape the destinies of the republican
party in Michigan, while the two
years he spent in the Office of Land
Commissioner French were in an at
mosphere calculated to help man to
win.
Maj. Loomis, it is understood, has
not been disposed to shirk his duty as
a good republican, though he is by no
means seeker for the position of
chairman, which carries with it a
vast amount of hard work. He has,
however, agreed to accept the place
if the republicans of the county so
elect and it seems quite probable they
will do so.
Mr.. Loomis' name has been men,
toned i'm connection with the state
senatorialship, but has no idea of en-
tering the contest. Portland Review

the idea that weekly paydays instead
of the present semi-monthly plan in
force at all the Belding factories
would be more desirable and salts
factory to them, and went out on a

point. Mr.. Ballou however absolutely
refused TO grant their request and

Concerning Wool.

Eastern wool merchants continue to
urge upon growers ard western deal
ers the Importance Of sending wool to
markets in good cor&1ion4 Fleeces
should be tied with soft twine, with
the flesh side out, taking care to keep
out tags, etc. Under no circumstances
should sical or binding twine be used
for tying heeces or sewing bags, as
the small PARTICLES of this vegetable
fibre adhere to the wool, damaging
the goods and causing manufacturers
trouble and loss. Manufacturers fire.
quently refuse to buy wool tied with
binding twine.
The marking of sheep with pitch or
paint or any insoluble matter should
be avoided. Ii frequently Injuries the
sale of the wool as it cannot be scour-
ed out, and has to be clipped off,
which is attended with much labor
and loss TO the manufacturer.
In packing wool for shipment it is
advisable to keep bucks, tags, black,
etc, separate marking packages ac-
cOrdingly, and in sections of the Mis-
sissippi, to keep washed feeces separ-
ate from unwashed so far as possible.
