Dennis and Martin Hayes Did on
Thursday of Last Week.


Last Friday evening the news was
brought to this city that Mrs. Mary
Hayes, beloved mother of Martin ami
Dennis Hayes was fast sinking away
as the result of recently performed
operation at the hospital in Grand
Rapids and for them to come at once
if they wished to see her alive.
The boys left at once for that city
and drove as rapidly as possible,
reaching there out short time prior
to her death. The passing away of
the mother was a severe blow on the
boys and both of them were visibly
affected by the loss
Mrs. Hayes, who was only So years
of age, was the mother OF l3children,
all of whom survive her, there being
seven sons and six daughters who
mourn the sad loss of beloved moth

ARE WORKING AT IT
Electric Cars May Run Through
Belding.
Routes From Saranac and Lowell
Investigated by Chief Engi-.
neer Westcott.

AS stated last week, officials of the
proposed electric line to run from
Grand Rapids to Ionia and thence to
Owosso, were in this city Wednesday,
having driven over the country be-
tween Belding and Lowell, accompa-
MED by Senator Weeks and ID. G.
Look. Relatiye to it the Lowell
Ledger said:
'Some time ago our citizens APP
pointed a committee consisting of
Messrs. A. w. Weekes, + L King and
w. A. Watts to confer with the Off
GERS of the road, relative to having
the Belding & Greenville branch con-
meet with the main line at Lowell.
Today the chief engineer and Sec'y
Hon. F. Westcott are out with our
committee looking over our proposed
ell the point of transfer on to the
main line for the silk city people"
On Thursday Mr.. Westcott accom-
panied by j. Clyde Watt of Saranac
looked over the country from Saranac
to this city and noted thu lay of the
land, and on the following day Messrs.
Westcott and Riley drove through to
Greenville. Of their visit there the
Greenyille Call says:
Frank Westcott, secretary, and
Mr., Riley, an engineer from the chief
engineers Office, of the Grand Rap
ids and Ionia Railway Co., who have
let the contract to build the road,
wish to run branch line to Belding
and Greenville, striking the main line
near Saranac or Lowell, and they are
up here today TO look over the land
and see what the sentiment of our
people is in regard to the project.
They were much pleased with the way
the people of this city met the pro-
ject."
Mr.. Westcott stated to the Banner
that this city could be reached from
Saranac much easier and with great
deal less expense than by the way of
Lowell, Should the line branch from
Saranac it will follow the Saranac
road, turning into Belding at Hoyt's
Corners, then to Hanover, Main and
Bridge streets, crossing the river
and out by Ellis avenue to the Green
vile road. If the line is built it will
be good one as the contract calls for
the best of everything in construction
and that the Farnham patent third
rail system would be used This does
away with the overhead trolley, the
current being obtained from a third
rail, which forms a circuit through
the motors in the car with one of the
other rails. A third rail system has
been in use number of years, but it
was dangerous for people to cross the
tracks at any point ether than the
regular crossings. Should person or
horse touch two rails at the same
time it formed circuit through the
body and meant instant death. In
the Farnham patent the third rail is
covered and other rails are only
charged when the car is passing over
that section, doing away with any
chance of an accident should a per
son fall on the two rails. 1t is claim
ed that it is safer than the overhead
system as there is no danger of live
wires falling down and becoming q
menace to life and property.

West Michigan state Fair.

The West Michigan Fair this year
will be held Sept. 1924. and will be
the greatest and grandest Industrial
exposition ever held in middle west,
excepting, of course, the Worlds
Fair at Chicago and in some features
it will surpass that. Great industrial
concerns like the H. j. Heinz Co. are
engaging large space for complete
display of their goods. Other lines of
manufacture are also engaging space
so that the success of the next West
Michigan State Fair is assured.
While the management of the Fair
do not offer a circus free, yet they
are engaging amusement features
that excel many features given in a
circus.

Mrs. M A. Parr, of the Parr Hotel,

many friends Tuesdry evening, June 7th,
in commemoration of her 57th birthday.
All united in making the affair an en-
joyable one, each vieing with the other
in showing their appreciation of Mrs.
PARIS many good qualities, both as a
business woman and neighbor, proven
by a long and useful residence among
them. She received many handsome
specimens of needle work, the product
of local genius, the pattern and style of
which was too intricate for the mere
masculine mind to describe. Each lady
was the recipient of a handsome souve-
mir spoon, present from the hostess.
Progressive whist furnished the princi-
pal amusement, and Mrs. L. A. Strong
and j. r. O'Neill shared in carrying
off the first honors. After the games
came an elaborate spread consisting of
all kinds of good things calculated to
tickle the most jaded palate, after
which the guests departed, well salts
