WilcoN-Neahr.

The wedding ceremony was pronounced
by Rev. M. L. Fox in onia Tuesday after
noon, and after it was spoken Martin
Wilcox and Miss Louie Ngahr were united
for life, to share its blessings, happiness
and sorrows together. The couple had
kept the matter secret as they supposed
but mis- friends to the number of more
than so caught on to the arrangement in
some way and organized a reception on
their return at night from the drive home.
The seranaders were little previous
however and tuned up their musical IN
struments before their arrival but soen
discovered their mistake
The happy couple put in an appearance
about o:5o o'clock in time to get taste
of the music, Mart fixed it up with the
boys and congratulations on his #marfiaf G
were plenty Mr.. Wilcox and his trlde
are fine young people and many friends
wish them much joy and success.

Put Your stamps on Right.

II the fellows who write to girls and the
girls wo write to fellows knew the trouble
a misplaced stamp caused the postoffce
clerk out of consideration for Uncle Sans
employees they would never attemptto flirt
by the placing Of a postage stamp.
Squarely pasted in the upper right hand
corner of the envelope is the proper posi-
ton for the stamp, and when not so
placed there results annoyance and ruffl-
ed tempers and other divers unpleasant
experiences. The envelopes are punched
and passed rapidly through a machine
which cancels the stamps, Unless the
stamp is properly placed, the letter must
be thrown aside and Cancelled separately,
with a consequent loss Of time which
means much to the clerk when making up
mails,

AN IMMENSE SALE
Il. g. LlOyd's Store Was Crowded
Saturday.
The special bargains attracted Lots
OF Customers-Sale Will still
Continue.

The large double store Of E. c. Lloyd
was crowded nearly all day Saturday
and Mr.. Lloyd states that the days sales
we're the largest ever had there and un-
doubtedly we're never exceeded in the
city.
The crowd began coming at o'clock
in the morning, to Mr.. Lloyd's great sur
prise, in order to be on time for the spec
ial half hour lawn sale which began
promptly at $50 o'clock, and when the
sale opened there we're so many custom
ers present that not more than half Of
them could get waited on, the same con-
dition existed in the afternoon at the 25o
o'clock sale, so eager were the ladies' for
the goods that many Of them would clutch
hold OF bolt of cloth and not let go of it
until their 2 yard cut was made from it.
Mr. Lloyd sold $500 yards OF lawn and
could have probably sold as much more if
he had had the goods.

Caught Him For Fifty Dollars.

Here is new graft. A man walked
into saloon in Vicksburg and asked if he
could stay there few minutes. The bar
keeper said yes, and as the man kept
hanging around and looked uneasily at
the clock, he asked him who he was wait
ing for. The man said he had just met a
stranger at the depot and the stranger
having no money asked him to loan him
a Sloo to pay freight bill. agreeing to
meet him in the saloon at | o'clock at
pay it back. The barkeeper said he
would never show up. The stranger in
sisted that the man was honest; the man
knew all his folks back in Indiana. The
barkeeper said he would bet $50 the man
wouldn't show up. The bet was made
and promptly at o'clock the stranger
came in and paid the money and the bar
keeper lost hs bet. The two fellows we're
confidence men.

HE MAY BE SENATOR
Talk About Him In Washington
Favorable.
VIM. Alden smith Would Make Cap
able Successor To senator
Alger.

Late dispatches from the Nations capi-
tai says: From the Washington stand
point which includes the standpoint Of
leaders in Congress, Mr. Smith is the best
known member Of the Michigan delega-
ton. His promotion would be in line with
the action of an increasing number Of
states nowadays in electing to the SEN
ate, members of the house who haye
most distinguished themselvesfor ability
ut is known here that Mr.. Smith in
tends to enter the race in earnest II is
improbable that he will have a walk over
but it is certain he will make a strong
showing. His bearing here in Washington
year ago, when he was known to have
aspirations to succeed Senator Burrows
caused many favorable comments among
Michigan and other western people,
He has not been disposed to crowd any
incumbent for the purpose of furthering
his own ambitions, and finally he decided
to withdraw for the general interests Of
the party and leave Senator Burrows
clear field for reelection.
"dis wide influence at the Capitol is
recognized both at the White House and
in Congress. He is forceful speaker,
who while very loyal party man. has
that quality Of independence which
prompts him to get on the right side Of
public questions without regard to the
consequences. He is also strong man
in council.
His business judgment is as highly re-
garded as his political judgment, for he is
a man accustomed to large affairs. AS
stumper, and as thinker on public ques-
tions, Mr.. Smith is quite as well known
east OF the Alleghenies as he is in Mchi-
gan"

Game at Grccnvnc Thursday.

The game between Greeny.ile and Bel
ding in this city Thursday afternoon was
a good exhibition Of ball playing, the
score standing at the conclusion of the
game ! to 0 in favor Of the home team.
The batteries were Drummmd and Ellis
for Beldng, ard Kench ard Fuller for
GreenviIle Although several times there
were men on the second ane third bases
and the excitement was hifh, when the
opposing team settled down1o work in a
business like manner and re.ired the side
without a rur. This was lone by both
teams and won the commendation OF the
fans. c. H. Gibson umpiret the game to
the satisfaction Of the clubs and fans, a
hard job.
The only criticism we have to offer is
the small audiences that are turning out
to witness the games played here. The
club deserve much better ones, which
fault we hope will be rcmedisd at the ne> t
game. -GreenyiIle Cali.

Good Words For Rev. j. {. Meese.
1t is with regret that we learn that Rev.
J. c. Meese. OF the Christian church, has
received and accepted call to Belding
and will leave tomorrow for his new field
Of work.
Mr.. Meese came here from Kalkaska
two years ago and during that time has
accomplished much in the way OF i'm
provements to the church property as
well as in a spiritual way. While in St.
Louis he has led ! 6 souls to Christ and
has added largely TO the membership Of
the society. A foundation has boen built
for new parsonage and much OF the
material is on the ground for its construc-
ton. The society is out OF debt and never
in a more prosperous condition than at
the present time, largely due to the untr-
ing efforts Of the retiring pastor. After
a years work here Mr.. Meese returned to
Kalkaska and brought back bride who
has been great help to him in his church
work.
That his true worth was heraded out
side our own little city is shown by the
| fact OF his having been calld TO larger
! fields. St Louis loses not only faithful
propounder Of the gospel but one who has
proven himself TO be an enterprisng and
progressive citizen. He has made himself
popular not only with his own denomna-
ton but with everyone regardless OF
= creed.
The church at Belding is fortunate in
securing the services Of a man OF Mr. j..
! Meeses ability and while the people Of
st, Louis regret the departure of him and
his estImable wife they unite in wishing
them God speed in their new home and a
continuance Of the prosperity they so
richly deserve.

business Men should stand Togethei

business Men should stand Together
In speaking Of how to fight the mail
order business shrewd business man
writes: Cooperate with your fellow
merchants. In the face of a common
enemy local merchants can afford to
stand shoulder to shoulder, Each Of you
might agree to fight the mail order houses
on some one ine-the hardware man on
hardware, the clothing man on clothing,
etc. Work together to boom the town.
Appeal to home pride. but in self-re-
specting way and not as favor. If you
sell the goods your people want at the
right prices, the fact that you pay rent
and taxes to your town entities you to the
preference as against an outsider.
Keep your prices right. Watch the
mail-order catalogues and don't let then
cut you on important things.
Advertise. Fight fire with fire. lr
other words, meet craft with craft, YOU
aking points are as good as the mail
order mans and you have the superior
advantage of being on the ground.
IF you own your goods right and follow
suggestions made, we think your mail or

The Crowd

Beding and vicinity usually turns out a
large crowd Of people whenever special
attractions are. advertised to take place
for the amusement of the public and last
Saturday was no exception TO the rule,
In the afternoon at the close of the ball
game the streets of the city were lined
with people to witness the great rope
walking feat by Geo1 Raiman over rope
stretched across the street from the Ire
land to the Wallace block, this was his
first attempt at doing the act for two
years and he exhibited great nerve in un-
dertaking it. One Of the guy ropes were
not held taut and the main rope rolled un-
der his feet he dropped his balance pole
and caught the trapeze, thus avoiding a
fall that would undoubtedly have killed
him, he gave better exhibition in the
evening at z o'clock, but says he will
make better one when he tries it again,
next Saturday.
Garfield and VanHorn who are Beding
boys gave fine exhibitions on the trapeze
and also the aerial ladder both in the
afternoon and evening.
George Carver made high dive or a
jump rather from the top of telephone
pole fifteen feet above the Bridge street
bridge. he splashed into the water going
down about six feet before coming up and
setting out for the shore like duck.
