1t will be noticed by the above
figures that the receipts are $11 ,366.47
with ten months receipts as CONSOLE
dated offices and two months receipts

alone, which is sufficient evidence to
convince that twelve full months Of
the consolidated condition will exceed
S12,0O0.00. With the above showing it
warrants this postoffice being placed
in the second class and free delivery
should be granted at an early date.
We petition the mayor and common
council to take hold of this matter
and provide for the naming of the
streets, numbering of the houses, and
providing sidewalks in all parts of the
city where they want mail carried.
These preliminaries can all be
attended to now. We further ask the
mayor and common council to petition
the Post Master General at Washing
ton. ID. c., to grant to this city the
free delivery service as soon as these
preliminary requirements can be
complied with. Now is the time to
act, and we feel certain that the city
officials will do everything in their
power to give this city the benefits of
free delivery service. In doing this it
will provide at least four good positions
for mail carriers at good salaries. Let
no stone be unturned. until these
advantages are brought about for the
good Of the citizens of Grand Rapids.

DEATH OF MRS JOHN G. LOBDELL.
The death of Elizabeth, wife of John
G. Lobdell, who succumbed to pneu-
monia at her home in this place, We'd
nesday afternoon of last week, has
cast shadow of gloom over the entire
community and filled the hearts of the
people with profound sorrow. Mrs
Lobdell was first stricken with the
malady which was destined to prove
fatal, on Monday of last week. At
first the disease appeared to be easily
within the control of medical science,
but as the dreaded fever progressed
and signs of congestion became ap-
parent, it was seen that her condition
was critical and every means known to
medical men was brought into play in
the hope of overcoming the disease,
while anxious friends prayed and
hoped for her recovery, prayer which
found an echo in the hearts of all. On
Tuesday morning hope was abandoned
as it was then seen that Mrs Lobdell
was fighting her last battle, a battle
in which death was to come out the
victor. She had been unconscious for
hours; the last earthly means had been
exhausted and ali the attendants could
do was to watch for the end with
prayerful resignation. Mrs Lobdell
was one of those lovely characters who
enrichens the life of the community
and makes the world better for she
having lived in it. A devoted wife
and mother, she was equally kind
and sympathetic friend and neighbOr.
Her manner was gentleness itself
| towards everyone about her. Her
sublime Christian faith, her inherent
meekness, the charm of her smile and
her quiet unobtrusive ways made her
the ideal companion of both young
and old. BY nature endowed with
splendid intellectual gifts, she made
her home life an atmosphere of ethe.
real beauty. The husband bereft OF
so worthy helpmate, can hardly
mourn alone, the hearts of the people
who knew her also stung by the poig.
nant grief of her, silently betrays the
intensity of true sorrow which words
cannot adequately express. And the
children, they too have lost a devoted
mother, whose empty chair can never
be filled. A gentle maternal influence
and the dearest face in the home cir
Gle is gone from them, leaving this
