| the home of T. e. Nash on the west

Rev. L. G. Carr, one of the travel
ing superintendent for the Child
ren's Home Society Of Wisconsin, was
in the city Monday on one OF his reg
Ular trips. Through him we learned
that the little unfortunate waif six
years Of age who had been assaulted
by brute in the form of man in the
town Of Arpih, had been we'll cared
for by this society and placed in an
excellent family. The good this So
ciety is doing is without bounds and
should be encouraged. Since this So
cietv was organized they have found
good homes for nearly 1900 little
children. This labor of love among
the little ones is most gratifying to
those who give towards their relief
and education. Any contributions
| left with Rev. L. q. Carr, Fond du
| Lac, will be rrcciptcd for and reach
the treasurer for the relief Of the lit
| tie ones. Contribute even though it
| be but a mite.
There has been considerable talk
recently in this city with excellent
| foundation for it, that the G.. n. &
st. Paul r. r. Company Intended TO
make use Of their inside switch track
that traverSeS the business part OF our
city on the west side and leads to the
present FIGURING Mills of the Grand
Rapids Milling Co.'S mills, to make said
track the main track and extend it
north joining their present track above
tie Green Bay & Western line. If
this was done, and it is very favorable
at very small expense they would have
an opportunity to erect new depot
which is very much needed right in
| the heart of the city. 1t would hot
| surprise US if that was contemplated
and that it, may be done in the near
future. Let all the improvements
possible come. We shall welcome them
as long as they are beneficial to the up
building of Grand Rapids.
