Bsllou Basket Works Product In
Great Demand
From Fridays Banner.
A few weeks ago we mentioned the
fact that Sears, Roebuck & Co. of
Chicago had given an order for $500
worth of baskets to the Ballou Bas-
kets Works of this city, the order
was filled and few weeks later an
other large order was received from
the same firm, the go DDS having given
such entire satisfaction that the
large invoice was disp osed of very
quickly.
This morning K. p. Moffatt of Chi
CATO came here direct from the Sears
Roebuck Co. and placed another or
der for $500, worth OF the kind manu-
factured here, he says they are un-
questionably the best on the market
today and his Company want them.
This makes about $1,000, worth this
one firm have purchased in the past
two or three months.

TWO FIRE ALARMS
Beldtng Ffremen Got Busy Last
Might During the Heavy Wind
That Prevailed.

From Tuesdays Banner.
About half past six last night,
when the wind was blowing a small
gale an alarm of fire was turned in
and the fire department was quickly
on hand TO respond TO the call which
was occasioned by burning chimney
on the 3ricker block on the west side
of Bridge street. The chimney was
emitting a large amount of sparks
which the high wind was scattering
promiscuously around that portion of
the city threatening the surrounding
property seriously. Fortunately
there was no call for action on the
part of the company but things
looked very much as though there
would be for time.
The excitement occasioned by the
first alarm had hardly subsidized when
a second alarm was sounded and con-
sternation reigned supreme for a
time as the wind had increased in its
velocity quite materially. The cause
of the second alarm was soon located
at the Belding- Hall saw mill where a
large pile of saw dust which had been
burning during the day was busy
scattering it's sparks all over that
portion OF the city known as the
Belding addition. The company
stretched almost all the hose they
had in order to reach this fire and
soon extinguished it, much to the
relief of the residents of that portion
of the city.
Had either of the fires gotten hold
of any property in the midst of the
terrible wind there would certainly
have been plenty doing for the
and onr citizens as well,
and Belding can consider herself in
the best of luck that there was
nothing worse than there was last
night.

THE FARMER SMILES
Over Potato War Now On In This
City.
Rival Dealers Have Raised the Price
OF Potatoes In Belding.
From Mondays Banner.

Belding is, and has been for many
years one of the best potato markets
in this section of the state, and just
at this time it is paying a price tor
potatoes that ought to bring the IA
nous vegetable from the hill, even II
. they are yet undug. rhe cause OF this
activity is very evident. There are
three buyers here, Weter' Wise co ,
T.. Z. jerks, and Claude Walker, who
is buying for Greenville parties.
The old adage that competition Is
the life of trade, is vindicated In the
fullest extent, and the farmer Is the
man who does the smiling. When
our reporter inquired the price of po-
tatoes today of one of the local buy
err, he was somewhat surprised to
hear him reply from 40 to 4s cts.
and on inquiring into The sudden
raise in price he was informed that
the raise was due 10 potato buyers
war The dealer said further" 1--WE are
paving more for potatoes than they
are worth, but in order to be potato
dealer, one mas to buy potatoes, and
we are buying even if there is no
money in the deal We are bound to
ship our share of the potatoes from
Belding, even If the profits are few
and far between, and the modest
tillers of the soil simply haul them in
and carry away the money, profits
and all.
BY the way, Belding furnishes
about as good a market for every
Thing in the produce line, as any OF
her sister towns, and the farmers in
distance are becoming aware of the

IN SEARCH OF vENIsON

From Tuesdays Banner.
The craving for a venison steak
seems to have taken hold of the Bel

and many of our Belding nimrods
have shouldered their guns and start
ed for the north land in search of the
coveted prize, so many in fact, that
II all of those who have gone north
succeed in landing their allotted
share of the frisky denisons of the

threatened with panic.
The latest bunch TO leave their
happy home for the wilds of Michigan

THE BAKERS DOUGH
Attorneys Are After II For Henrietta
Adams

~
Adams.
Since the sensational suit of Hen
rietta Adams against Il. Stuart Baker
for breach of promise, in which she
secured judgment for $4,000, be
has been trying to cover up his prop
ty by giving his father-in law a
mortgage on it, in hopes to beat the
victim of his perfdy out of her just
dues. Judge Wolcott however has
rescinded his order for a stay of pro-
ceedings in the case, which was evil
IDENTIFY taken by Bakers attorney in
order TO give him time TO put his
property out Of reach of the judg.
ment, and levy on it will be made.
1t was urged by Miss Adams coun-
sci that Bakers mortgaging the
property was the beginning of efforts
on his part to avoid paying the
Judgment.
Bakers attorneys argued that he
had right to meet legitimate eK.
penses and had not ATTEMPTED to avoid
the judgment. They stated that they
will certainly endeavor to have the
judgment materially reduced on the
grounds that it is excessive.
Under the circumstances it is but
justice that inasmuch as Miss Adams
could not get the Baker she is Ger
tainly entitled to some of his dough.

From Wednesdays Banner.
Last Monday morning Deputy-sher-
iff George w. Crawford arrested and
took to Ionia, one F.. H. Barnard, of
late a travelling salesman for the
Clark Marble Works Of this city.
The arrest was made at the request
of the sheriff of Gratlot county.
where he was wanted on the charge
of taking indecent liberties with
little eight-year-old girl. George
took his man TO Ionia andturned him
over to the care of Sheriff Fales, and
returned home well satisfied with the
work that he had acompli'hed.
Now comes another CHAPTER in the
story. Yesterday the officer from
Gratiot county came TO lonia and
received his man from Sheriff Fales
and started for home going by way of
Owosso. He got as far As Owosso
with the prisoner when, watching
his chance, the prisoner broke and
run and succeeded in masing good
his escape.
If there is any truth in he asser-
tion that the wirLeA. when 10

be good grounds for the officers of
the state to take up the search and
see that Mr. Barnard be apprehended
and properly dealt with according to
the law in such cases made and pro-

North Side.
The Sunday afternoon meetings
which are held on the North side,
by the B Y. p. U of this city, have
been instrumental in doing consid-
cradle good along the lines of church
work, and the meetings which are
held at various points, are well at
tended and much interest manifested,
and it has been thought best to erect
a small chapel for the purpose of
continuing the meetings during the
winter.
A subscription paper has been cir
culated and pledges have already been
secured sufficient to make II safe to
predict that a building will be erect
ed on some lot TO be determined later.
This is a good move and we trust
nothing will happen to throw down
this worthy proposition.

A TECHNICAL POINT
In Local option Bill Regarding Pre-
nminary Movements.

One of the points that Is beinf
made by the opposition to submitting
local option to the voters of Ionis
county, is that notices must be posted
and kept up ten days before filling
with the clerk.
A few days ago Mr.. Ellis wrote
representative Allen to see If the
language came from some other stat.
ute, and received reply that the bill
was drawn by DR.. William Parmeter
of Vermontyille. He then wrote to
DR.. Parmeter and asked him: "If
you drew the bill, will you kindly tell
me where you got the language that
you used? You will observe that II
does not provide for posting notices
ten days before" it is filed with the
County Clerk, but for ten days next
Immediately before, ETC."
Recently Mr.. Ellis received a
letter from DR.. Parmeter, which, in
the question, reads as fol-
lows:
Vermontville, Mich ll-3-03.
A. A. Ellis,
Ionia, Michigan.
Dear Sir:-Yours of the 2nd inst re-
