Battle of Lexington Described in an
Ancient Book.

Sattie OF Lexington Described in en-
Ancient Book.
The Sons of the Revolution recently
selected the 10Th day of April as the
time of their annual meeting there
after. This is the anniversary of the
battle of Lexington, in 1775, the initial
conflict Of the Revolution which
Brought about American freedom. In
quaint old book this is recorded of
the battle thus commemorated:
| l, And it came TO pass that Thomas,
captain of the King of Britain, pri-
vately sent a chosen band of men, about
the eleventh hour of the night, to a
place called in the Italian tongue Con-
cordia, to destroy the store houses of
the people and the implements for
war.
80. Yet notwithstanding it was the
night season which the soldiers set out,
and the governor kept strict watch,
the people of the province had notice
thereof
3. And there assembled together of
the people of the province. three score
/
King of Britain were 500 valiant men.
! a. And when the soldiers were col
lected together they shouted with a
great shout, and as they shouted they
shot at the people of the province, and
1t was said that some of the people
Were slain.
.. And it came to pass that John,
captain of a company of the province,
when he heard the shouting of the men
of war, that he armed himself and ran,
and about 400 men followed after him
TO the battle.
"6. And they overlook the soldiers of
the King of Britain at place called
In the yernacular tongue, Lexington,
and they fought with them there: and
the soldiers fed by the highway of the
country; and John and the men who
| We're with him followed hard after
them. warning as they went, until thou
contest to mountain that lookest to-
| ward the town.
u. And the men of Britain were
very weary and chafed in their minds;
and it was about the going down Of
the sun when they assembled the noun
tain; and they rested them that night.
IS, And on the morrow they passed
over the river and went into the town,
and the number of the slain of the
men of Britain were three score and
five persons; and there fell of the
people of the provinces two score and
ten men.
20. And it came to pass when 1t was
known throughout the land of Colum,
bia that some Of the people of the
provinces were slain by the soldiers
of the King of Britain.
40. That the leaders of the people
cried out, saying; What part have we
in George, or what Inheritance In the
house of Brunswick? Lo, lie hath
cast us off as aliens to his house, and
dealeth with us as his enemies
III. Then the people strengthened
themselves greatly, and encouraged
I onc another to fight manfully for Their
country, their wives and their littls
ones.
''12. And tie people accustomed
themselves TO the exercises of war
and instead of the voice of melody
and the songs of gladness, the sound
of the trumpet and the shouting OF
the warriors were heard"

HE KEPT HIS vow.
And Apples in One Farmers Orchard
Were Free to All.


The late r. II. Stoddard used some
times to narrate striking experience
that befell him during q walking trip
in New England.
During this tour" he said, Il came
one August afternoon, to an apple or
chard in be outskirts Of a village, and
on the fence / saw a placard inviting
travellers to enter and partake Of the
inviting fruit within. | ate an apple
or two, and then perceived the owner
approaching from his barn.
He was an intelligent young man,
and asked him why he was SO gener
Gus with his apples.
III tell you, sir he replied. When
my father was boy, he had to walk,
one summer, a matter OF 200 miles,
working out his meals as he travelled
There was certain apple orchard
that he came upon, and an apple that
had fallen from one Of the trees lay
In the road. He picked it up and was
about to eat 1t. But the farmer had
perceived him, and he ordered him to
put the apple back. My father obeyed,
OF course, but he told the man that he
was mighty mean with his fruit, and
he said he would himself, some day,
plant a hundred apple trees for the
free use OF travellers exclusively. For
tune went well with my father, sir, and
this Is the orchard that he planted. All
the fruit here will be free always"

from Oakland County Michigan and
was present as a boy under age at the
time Of the first township election OF
the Township of Otisco April End 1888.
His older brother Amos Fl. Russell
who came to Otisco first in 1887 had
just brought his family TO Otisco and
Robert Is man come with them.
He was married to Miss Lucy Ann
Brown in lS4S and settled In Grattan
Kent county where his daughter Ger
trude now Mrs. w. II. Odds was born.
A few years later he moved to Disco
where his son Bryant John Russell

survive the father.
In 1879 he moved to Luther then a
dense forest in the employ of the old
Wilson, Luther and Wilson Lumber
Company as land locker, surveyor and
pine estimator with whom he re-
NAMED ten years.
Here he lost his wife Lucy in 1887

knowledge OF timber and for years his
estimates of standing timber either

TOURS truly,

South Haven, Mich. March 13 1903.
Gentlemen Of the campaign COM
mittee of Van Buron County-In re-
Spouse to your inquiry | write to
say that | Bm a believer in local op.
ton in Van Buren, County as else
where. First, because it closes the
doors of the saloon with it's corrup-
ting influences upon the youth of
the land. Second, because the open
saloon conduces to the moral, in
tellectual, social and financial deg
relation of our adult population.
The saloon is a blot upon the ia r
name of our city and surrounding
country in the minds OF prospective
home-seekers. Fourth. the mere
fact that there is no open saloon to
be found In our favored fruit land
is, in itself, one of the strongest in
ducements for the best class Of peo
Pile, especially those who have fam
lies to seek homes with us. | have
known many moderate drinkers,
who say they have no anxiety for
themselves, but prefer to locate
their families where they are not
subject to the communicating in
fiuences of the saloon.
| have heard many of our best
summer visitors say, they had no
fear about leaving their families in
our city or vicinity for the summer,
as there was no danger here from
intoxicated or disorderly people, as
was the case in other localities
where the liquor traffic was unre-
strained. III. j. EDGELL.

Interests OF Real Estate.
From South Haven Daily Tribune.
No more powerful argument from
business standpoint could possibly
be found than that presented in the
following letters. Thew need no
comment:
South Haven. March, 1903.
To the public-As a real estate
agent of your city, l wish to make a
few statements for your earnest con-
sideration OF the saloon question
that certainly are to your interest.
AS you all we'll know today. this
part OF Michigan is the only part of
the state that is not overrun with
an undesirable element. Why? For
the simple reason there are no
saloons to call it here.
Out Of over 800 people that drove
through this county, last year, do
not think that oveL 5 of that num-
Der were men that ever took drink
themselves, aud preferred to locate
where there were no saloons.
In all Of my advertising and cor
respondence | make special point
OF no saloons in this county. | hon
estly believe that over one half of
the sales of property that have been
made and the increase in the value
of farm land in this county, can be
directly traced to the fact of there
being no saloons. AS yon well
know the class of people coming
here to buy farms are men that are
not in favor of saloons or they
would not come. If you still wish
that increase in the value of your
farms. give this subject earnest con
sideration aud vote dry.
Yours truly,
