To SILK Mill Time.

A vote was taken in the various
Refrigerator factories last Friday on
the question of changing the hours of
work to correspond with those now in
vogue at the silk mills and the result
was almost unanimous initasoT of the
change, and as result the factory
whistles are blowing at 6:l5 a. m.
The change gives the employees of
the factories an opportunity to enjoy
half holiday every Saturday after
noon and if any ball games should
chance here this summer the boys will
have an opportunity to witness them
without loss of time,

EARLY SETTLER DEAD
stephen Dexter-Pioneer OF Ionia
Passes Away.

Stephen f. Dexter, the last remain
ing son of Samuel Dexter, the head of
the original colony settling at Ionia,
died at Grand Rapids, on Sunday, at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Prudence
Tower, where he went last fall. When
Stephen was ten years old he came to
Grand River valley with his father,
who took up land both where Grand
Rapids now stands and on the site of
of Ionia, choosing Ionia as his home.
Decedent was so years old Nov. 13,
1908 During his life in Ionia he was
in company for time in the dry
goods business with his brother, John
G. Dexter. He was also for time a
a partner of Jas M. Kidd at Kidville.
About 1851 he went to California,
where he was married, and remained
west about 30 years. On his return to
Michigan he located at Evart, where
he has since been a resident. His re-
mains were brought to Ionia for in
terment.

Closed His Hotel,

Yesterday, the first day of the new
year for saloonists, all had furnished
bonds except NJ. BDivine, proprietor
of the hotel, who has taken the posi-
tion that he cannot conduct his hotel
at profit unless the saloon is run in
connection. The hotel therefore,
was closed to the public Sunday and
Monday and according to Mr.. Diyine's
statement will remain closed until
two bondsmen are found.
The council recently raised the
bonds from 5000 to $1,000 and as the
persons qualifying must reside in the
village and own real estate in the
county to the amount of the bond
there are comparatively few people
who can qualify.-Portland Review

CONVICTED TAYLOR
Jury Said He over Drove webster's
Horse

The trial of Will Taylor for over
driving horse he and Will Hill hired
at the livery stable of o. F. Webster
couple of weeks ago, was on in JUS
tice Moulton's court Tuesday.
The court room was jammed full
with crowd of people.
Taylor hired the one horse rig to
take his girl to Smyrna and let Hill
and his girl in also, after taking in
Smyrna they drove to Greenville and
from there back to Belding. Web
ster says the horse was badly used up
when Taylor brought it back to the
barn after being out all night. On
hearing the evidence the jury evident
ly concluded the horse had been over
loaded and oyer driven, and found the
respondent guilty.
His honor sentenced him to the
Ionia jail for sixty days without the
alternative of a fine. Billy's folks
were down here from Greenville to
intercede for their son, but the stern
majesty of the law took its course.

A CARNIVAL SURE
City Will Let 1t Come In Middle
of June.
Knights of Pythias To Have Super
vision of it-Ftne Attractions.

The street Carnival and June festi-
val mention of which was made last
week, is now an assured fact and will
be one of the attractions for a whole
week in this city, beginning June 13
and continuing to June 18th, giving
five full days of amusement.
The city council on petition of a
committee from Fortuna Lodge X. of
p granted the free use of the streets
and cut out all licenses for shows and
the like during that week.
Mr.. Hoss the advance agent of the
Carnival Co. explained to the council
the nature of the attractions from
which was gathered that nothing of
an immoral nature will be brought
here in connection with the company
and as the entire show will be under
the strict supervision of the Knights
of Pythias, it guarantees that the en-
tertainment will be clean and one
which the most fastidious may wit
ness.
Already preparations are being
made to give it wide and extended
notice through judicious advertising
and it is expected that immense
crowds of people will be attracted to
the Silk City to enjoy the festivities
of the carnival. There are several
free open air attractions, among the
lot to be given every day. Let all
citizens make strong pull toward
giving it wide publicity and an
endeavor to make the occasion the
event of the season,

Improve the Opportunity.

The breaking away of the dam dur.
ing the big flood letting the water
out of the pond has left the bed of
the river high and dry in many places.
There is lot of old refuse excellent
for wood which ought to be removed
before the water is upon it again by
the completion of the new dam. Here
is good chance for someone to get
their summer supply for the hauling.
The clearing of the channel as far
up the river as Lightning bend would
be great improvement for boat rid
ing this summer and the frontage
along the city park grounds might be
greatly improved.

Burglars In Fenwick.

Burglars entered VIM. Snyder's
jewelry store and barber shop Friday
night in Fenwick and stole $l52 in
cash and $40 worth of jewelry, and a
razor case containing II razors.
The thieves broke into the Haynor
section house and stole hand car, on
which they came to the place and
also took some tools. Tools were also
taken from Cole & Sons blacksmith
shop here. The safe was removed
from Snyder's store and taken on the
depot trucks up the railroad track as
far as the stockyards, where it was
blown open. A reward of S4OO is of
fered for the apprehension of the
thieves.
