Who'd rather stay at home and play
And SIT around and NOPE and dream

Although the city officers seemed to
be a secondary consideration at the
polls, the city polled the largest vote
ever known in the city, and when the
votes had all been canvassed it was
found that the Republicans had car

by Fire Monday Night.
At about midnight on Monday last,
the city fremen were aroused from
their slumbers by the shreiking of the
fire whistle and bright light in the
heavens soon revealed the cause and
located the place where the work of
destruction was fast going on. The
FIRE was first discovered by Mrs. Zim-
mer, who owing to a bilious attack
was awake at the time.
The fire which was undoubtedly the
result of a defective chimney burned
very rapidly and Mrs. Zimmer was
very fortunate in being awakened as
she was, as they had only a little time
i'm which to save their belongings
one of the children, it is said, working
like a hero bare ooted and in hel

covered by insurance and Mr.. Zim
mer has already completed negotia
tions with j. II. Younger to begin a.
once the work of rebuilding the house
so badly damaged by the fire.

The city of Ionia has elected Frank
G. Miller mayor Frank is Ionia's
first republican mayor in many years,
an attorney by profession and the re-

case well in hand.
Eaton county tried the local option
plan for two years and on Monday it
voted to return to the license system
by 625 majority.

er going dry look rather small since
last Monday when they voted wet by
a majority of about 1000.

Lyons evidently did not get quite
enough water in hers during the re-
cent floods, as she voted wet Monday

Portland handed over a majority of
l7S in favor Of the wet side at Mon

floods evidently did not have a very
deteriorating effect on the part of its
voting population.

voters failed to realize that he was a
