A VERY FINE
BACCALAUREATE
Rev. A. SecOrd Gave Good Coun-

Sermon Filled with Good Advice

mcnt Week.

A large audience greeted Rev. A. Sc
cord at the M. E. church last Sunday eve
nlng to listen to the baccalaureate
sermon to the class of o6, and Mr.. Secord
gave the class line of instruction that if
lived up to, will make noble lives Of all Of
them and bring to all the highest results
that can be attained by anyone. Mr..
Secord chose for the subject of his dis
course THE Quest of Llfe's Crown" takr
ing the text for his sermon from a portion
of the 10Th verse of the second chapter
of Revelations, BE thou faithful unto
death and will give thee a crown Of
life" and also from Revelations Ill, 2l;
TO him that overcometh will grant to
sit with me in my throne.
He said in part To the young person
just starting out in life at commencement
time there is much IN front of him The
world is wioe and there is success or
failure open to everyone, but the crown
ing quest of life is securing the best there
is in it, the Crown Of Life This is per
fected manhood in which he participates
IN Divinity or in the glorified life Of
Christ. This means much to anyone ar
everyone. 1t is the dominion of man over
self and the world, that is to say. over
coming all things to the honor and glory
Of the Master.
There is but one way to reach the
greatest prize in life and that is explained
in the words Of the text. ITO him that
overcometh, will grant to sit with me on
my throne" There is the secret Of VIC

Piano Recital.

On Friday evening last at the Congre-
gational church large company Of oul

recital given by Miss Wagner's class, anc
from the choceness Of the well rendered
selections by the pupils, assisted by Miss
Wagner in duet and by Mr.. George Wag-

her parts with but short notice and COM
parativey no preparation
The vocal numbers by Mr.. Geo Wag-

much to the program and we're greatly
enjoyed by all present. Miss Wagner may
congratulate herself upon this evidence Of
the work accomplished by her pupils and
our people feel just pride and interest in
this class of Belongs own young people
The Misses M. Presley, Bertha Barnes,
Cherrie Campbell and Beatrice Stanton,

Paul Drummond Pitched Fine ball
and Received Good support.
The ball game between Greenvle and
Belding at Ellis park last Saturday added
another victory to the list Of the Local
team. The game was a little too one
sided to make an enthusiastic audience
but everyone there seemed pleased with
the score of ! to S.
The feature Of the game was the ex-
cellent pitching of Belongs southpaw,
Drummond who. with the fine support of
his team. succeeded in holding the visit
ors down for seven innings AT the be-
ginning OF the eighth it was thought that
a new man, Hazel would be given try al
the box and he proceeded to let four runs
come home in that inning. ln the ninth
Greenvle was again shut out ending with
the above score.
Greenvle played fair ball and if their
pitcher, Kench had had good support the
score might have been different
The locals play the Sheridan White Sox
here next Saturday and as they stand tie
with Stanton, the fast team which played
the Decoration day game here, it will be a
hotly contested game from the start.
Come out and encourage your home
team, they are playing good ball and de-
serve liberal patronage

AFTER VERY
LARGE DAMAGES
Suit Has Been Commenced by
Archie Chickering.
Against the Citizens Telephone Com
pany for $4,000 Damages for
Injuries Received.

Suit was begun in the lonia circuit court
last week for Archie Chckering by his at
tofneys Messers. Nichols & Sheldon
against the Citizens Telephone Co. laying
their damages at $4,000. 1t will be
remembered that Mr. Chickerlng more
than year ago came very near losing
his life while endeavoring to fix some
wires that we're causing trouble and for
that purpose climbed one of the poles on
lsest Main street In some manner his
body came in contact with live wires and
caused most fearful accident, he how
cred between life and death for several
weeks but lived through the operations he
was obliged to undergo, surviving them
all but was badly manned and crippled
for life.
In the suit it is claimed the company
was negligent in the strnging Of its wires
in too close proximity to electric light
wires, that they were not properly insul-
ated, that Mr.. ChIckerng was mere
lad Of 8 years and could not be ex-

place.
Miss Jessie Presley the efficient and
popular manager of the telephone COM
pany in whose employ and under whose
super yision Mr.. Chlckering was at the
time feels that the company was in no
wav at fault for the accident She says
that at the time and shortly before the
occurrence she had repeatedly warned
him not to attempt work of that kind and
especially of this particular trouble with
the wires and of the great danger there
was in taking care of it,
After the unfortunate accident the
company did everything possible toward
his care and medical attendance footing
the bihs which amounted to more than
$1,000.
The case il is expected will be tried at
the next term Of the circuit court and will
? be one of the most important and involv
ing the largest amount of damage ever
tried in the county.

Hudson of the first ward, VIM. |. Bene-
dict of the second ward and w. Lee Gus
ser OF the third ward Fred Pitt Of Orleans
and F. L. Moon Of Otisco are delegates
from this township.
A noticeable feature Of the convention
was the large volume of harmony that
seemed to exist throughout the conven-
ton, showing the true spirit that exists
among the republicans Of this county.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the conventions:
The republican of lonia county in con-
vention assembled, pledge anew their de
votion and loyalty to that party that
believes in doing things and does them.
We believe that there was never a time
in the history Of the republican party

and support Of the people than it is today
We commend the administration of our
party and those whom we have placed
in power, in county, state and nation,
We endorse Theodore Roosevelt and
wish him success in the contests he wages
against those who set at naught our laws
Honest and fearless, in the discharge OF
every duty, he has proved himself fit and
| capable in every station he was ever
called upon to fill. March 4, 1909, is
too soon to dispense with the services OF
such as he, and we hereby express our
belief and hope that he will again be our
partys candidate for the presidency in
9o9.
We commend the administration OF
Governor Fred NJ. Warner. He has dem
onstrated his fitness for the exalted posi-
ton he holds and his denomination by di-
rect vote Of Michigan republicans was
we'll deserved. He deserves and will
receive the confidence and support OF the
people and lonia county will aid in bring
ing about his triumphant reelection.
Ionia republicans are enthusiastic and
unanimous in their support OF William
Alden Smith for United States senator
Six time by ever increasing majorities he
has been chosen to represent this district
in congress. Eyer mindful OF the interes,
Of the people. he has demonstrated in his
present position that he has those quail
ties Of mind and heart needed in the SEN
ate OF the United States. Well has ht
earned promotion and we pledge our sup
port and bid him God speed in the con-
test he has entered upon. The delegate:

take such action IN the state convention
at Detroit as will best promote the interest
and candidacy OF William Alden Smith
for United States senator to succeed
Senator R. A. Alger. And, in case a
resolution endorsing him for the office o.
United States senator shall be offered al
such convention the delegates from Ionia
county are hereby instructed to vote fol

SOLD THE STOCK

Kuhn Hardware stock Was Sold
for SIlOO.
The auction sale Of the Kuhn Hardware
stock was held at the late place Of busi-
ness on Friday Of last week and brought
little better than 20 cents on the dollar
The sale was made at the order Of the
referee in bankruptcy, Kirk M. Wicks OF
Grand Rapids, and was made by Fred A.
Bush.
There were two propositions submitted
by the court first that the stock be sold
in bulk and second that it be sold in
parcels, the higher amount of the two,
standing as the official bid.
There we're several bids on the stock
from number Of bidders but there was
little difference on the rent proposition
or the amount realized might have been
different.
The stock as a whole.was Ia ID by the
Tuinstra Hardware Co. at $zl00. and
the subsequent sale in parcels lacked
$500 Of reaching the original bid for the
entire stock consequently the bid of the
Tuinstra Hardware Co. maintained sub
iect to the approval Of the court.
Just what the referee in bankruptcy
will do in the matter remains to be seen,
although the stock will undoubtedly be
transferred to the company who bid it in.
