Facts Concerning NJ. w. a. Order
Belding, Mich, Aug. 2, 1905.


(. B. Lapham,
Editor Belding Banner
Dear Sir: 1t has come to my ears that
some of the insurance agents and deputies
working in our city are "fireing quite
savagely at the Modern Woodmen of Am
erica.
Being interested in that society |
thought | would ask you to publish few
facts which may give the people better
understanding as to what the "Woodmen >
are and what they are doing, then they
would be likely to get from the statement
of the aforesaid agents and deputies.
saw some figures short time ago,
taken from the Records of the Commis-
sloner Of Insurance showing our net gain
to be very small for the year 1904.
These figures we're no doubt correct as
shown by the head clerks books on Jan.
|. 9o5, but in reality they show the work
done from Dec /, 1908 to Sept. 80, 1904
inclusive, or ten months instead of one
year. This is easily explained as follows:
The reports from the local campe for
the month do not reach the head office
until from the 5th to the 9th Of the fol-
lowing month. hence the reports for Dec.
903 were not received in time for the
commissioners report for that year but
would appear in the report for 9o4 and
in the same way, Dec. 1904 would be
carried into the ! COS report.
Now there we're no assessments for
Oct. and Nov 1904, and the work Of
these two months was not reported to the
head office until the past report for Dec.
was forwarded as the clerks Of local
camps send in their reports only when
there is an assessment to remit There
fore the reports for Oot., Nov. and Dec,
are not included in the statistics for the
year 904 leaving out the best part of the
years work as our records show net
gain Of 10000 members for these three
months,
Therefore you can readily see that the
statistics for the year 1904 relating to
the Modern Woodmen" as used by the
Agents and Deputies Of other companies
and societies are misleading.

bers more than twice that Of any other

Chapman Getting Better.

Clayton Chapman has been home this
week. He has been laid up for a few
weeks and unable to play ball the result
Of slight injury. The Grand Rapids
Press has this to say Of him: "One ofthe
most promising young players to break
into the league this year was young Chap
man, the Beding boy who was under
contract to the Grand Rapids team. In
the early spring practice games he looked
so good that he was the talk Of the town,
but one day in working hard he strained
himself, but gamely SAID nothing and con-
tinued playing, His playing showed the
effects Of the injury and he drfted around
until last week, when he came home, and
he will have TO submit to an operation
that may put him out of base ball for
good The youngster made many friends
while playing here and many admirers Of
his playing promise. Hundreds will join
in hoping that the operation will not put
him out Of base ball. ' DR.. Ferguson re-
ports him improving rapidly.

NICE TO THINK ABOUT
summer Girl Would Like to- be n
Farmers Wife and Live I'm
the Country.

There is bunch of girls out from Grand
Rapids spending their vacation at farm
home near Grattan. They are delighted
with the country and one of them told the
lady of the house with home they are rus
ticating, that she would just love to be a
farmers wife and meander with him
down llfe's pathway. Now all this looks
real nice in story books, but when your
husband meanders off and leaves you
without wood and you have to meander
up and down the lane pulling splinters off
the fence to cook dinner and when you
meander along in the wet grass in search
Of the COWS till your shoes are the color
Of rawhide and your stockings soaked,
and when you meander out across twenty
acres of plowed ground with club to
drive the hogs out OF the cornfield and
tear your dress on the barb wire fence,
and when you meander back TO the house
and find that the billy goat has butted the
stuffing out Of your child, and find the old
hen with forty chickens in the parlor
you'll realize that meandering is not what
it is cracked up to be.

BEGIN WORK SOON
Messrs. Young ~ Summers are
Here From Toledo.
To Start business Going, on Water
works System-Wiii Need Lots
of Men.

Mr.. M. Summers OF the firm of Young
& Summers of Toledo who we're awarded
the contract by the city for laying the
pipe and hydrants for the water works
system arrived here Tuesday and is
stopping at Hotel Belding
In an interview with him by the Ban
ner. he stated that he was here for the
purpose of making arrangements to be-
gin work as soon'as the pipe began ar
irving which he hoped would be.soon, as
they were anxious to get to doing busi-
ness at once. The city purchased the
pipe and it has been ordered some time.
Mr.. Summers said that he will arrange
to have the pipe taken Immediately from
the cars and distributed over the city
along the streets where the mains and
laterals are to rum
The work will require large force of
men and he says they want and would
rather have resident laborers, so far as it
is possible to use them, but in any event
they will necessarily be obliged to bring
in some help from outside. On this job
they will work force Of from so to 100
and give employment until the contract is
completed. Pipe laying will begin at the
power house site and the pipes will be
laid about feet under ground.
This firm have had many contracts of
this kind to complete and know how to
arrange and push the work to the best
advantage.
Mr.. Summers is very pleasant gentle
man to meet and converse with and he will
be pleased to form the acquaintance of
any of our citizens.

NOT GOOD
For Electric Line this Year i'm
Belding.
Promoters Can't sell Bonds. No New
Lines Will be Built.

Wallace Franklin, OF Detroit, in the
Tribune, says the following which is not
very cheering prospect for those who
believe in the early building Of the Grand
Rapids & Iona Electric Railway: There
is new electric line enterprise in nearly
every county in this state, and some
counties have more than one. But pre-
dict there will not be mile of new road
built IN the state this year, on any one of
them upon which construction has not al
ready commenced, and there is no work
in progress anywhere except in the way
Of extensions Of old lines. The fact is,
the promoters cannot sell their bonds.
They are hopeful and would like to see
them succeed But they cannot get the
money.
President Hopkins, Of Detroit, and his
brother, Fred, promoters Of the Grand
Rapids and Iona electric railway and the
Beding -Greenvile branch have not been
in the city for about three months and
activity in the preliminaries Of talking
railroad, running lines and securing right
of way, seems to have ceased altogether
Like all the other enteapriess OF like
character, when one would suppose from
the enthusiasm displayed by the promo
ters that cars would be running in sixty
days the thing has gone glimmering high
In the air.

OLD PIONEER GONE
Abner Wright Passed To the Other
World Last saturday.


Abner Wright was one OF Belding S
earliest settlers. He died at the home OF
his daughter Saturday evening July 20,
having reached the ripe old age of 80
years, months and | days.
He was born in Pttstown. Rensselaer,
county, NJ Y. March l8, 1916 where he
was reared to manhood. He learned the
coopers trade, at which he worked until
25 years of age. In l84l he was united
in marriage to Ruth A. Tallman of that
place. to which union was born six child
rem, four of whom are living; c. c.
Wright P. G. Wright and Elizabeth Shaw
of this place, and Mrs. Ruth Jacox of
Britton, S. D., John Alvin having died in
the army in March 1864, and George A.
who died October is. 1898, near this
city.
In September 1912 he started for
Michigan, coming across from Buffalo by
boat, landing in Detroit stranger in
strange city. He left at once for Otisco
township where his old time friends, Rich
ard and Lewis Ellis. and Tiberius Belding
had previously located, travelling nearly
the entire distance on foot. When near
Pontiac he met man with one horse
chaise and he offered him three dollars to
take him fifteen miles on his trip. The
man accepted the offer and Mr.. Wright
mounted the cart. after riding short dis
tance he concluded it would be easier to
60 on foot, and told the man he could go
back and he would continue his journey on
foot. He reached Ionia in safety and at
once took the old Indian trail for Otisco,
and arrived short time later at the home
of old Mr.. Broas, father of the late Levi
Broas, where he remained all night and in
the morning Mr. Broas directed him as
best he could to the farm now known as
the Ellis farm which he found in due
time.
He then located 80 acres on the west
of uncle Richard Ellis and began carving
out Of the forest what was known after
as the Wright homestead He brought
with him a quantity of silver for Mr.. Ellis
with which he wished to buy another 80
acres which he and Lewis had already
located. He always said if he had not
been burdened with the silver he could
have made the trip great deal easier.
Mr.. Wright also located the 40 acres
known as the c. D. Ellis addition to the
city Of Belding which includes Ellis Park,
all of which he improved himself. after
wards selling it to c. D and uncle Rich
ard Ellis. He broke up and cleared two
acres Of ground in the fall and sowed it to
wheat and then prepared two more acres
more for spring crops. He then returned
to his native state and worked at his trade
until April l845 when he again returned
to Michigan, accompanied by his father
ln-law, James Tallman, with wife and
eight children, four boys and four girls,
and his own wife and infant son Charles,
six months old, whom you all know as c.
c. Wright, who resides at the old home
stead.
They bought yoke Of oxen and lum-
Der wagon on which they loaded the fam
lily and what household goods they had
and started for Otisco.
After travelling one day they found
their team was not sufficient for the trip,
and he bought another yoke of oxen with
