BEYOND THE HILL

Laugh a little. sing little,
Whistle If you will;
There's no time for sadness,
When you're climbing up hill.
Laugh a little, sing little,
Smiles will trouble kill;
Perfect peace and joy are found
Just beyond the hill.

l.. NJ. Freight Was Piled up Last Sat-

Last Saturday morning as train 81 was
running into Smyrna and taking to the
siding at that place the rail on one side Of
the track gave way and piled up portion
of the train in bad shape smashing up
three cars of merchandise in such a
manner as to render the contents prac-
tically useless.
The wrecking crew was sent for and
the track which was piled pretty full Of
cars, merchandise etc. was cleared in
time to allow the passage Of the 6:28
train from Grand Rapids in the evening.
The morning train for that city was
obliged to transfer its passengers to the
stub train which took them to Elmdale
where they were enabled to catch train
into the city on the Detroit and Grand
Rapids division. Fortunately, however,
no accidents happened to any member Of

TRADE AT HOME

Belding Merchants Keep Trace with
Progress ana Carry Fine Stocks.
The Banner has always maintained
that Belding people could III afford to look
to outside cities for the necessaries of life
that right here in our own town can be
found at all times the best qualities at
fair prices, that Belding stores can supply
your wants more satisfactorily and save
you money in the long run.
The business Of Belongs merchants has
advanced with immense strides in the
past few years enabling them to carry
large ard complete stocks. in fact three
or four could be mentioned which are
larger than any stocks OF their kinds in
cities considerably larger.
In keeping with this spirit OF progress is
the new plan just inauguarated by Vern
C. Divine, proprietor Of the Hub clothing
store. He has purchased new national
cash register which prints receipt for
the amount of every sale. The purchaser
keeps these receipts until he has them to
the amount of S25. You can return them
and get Sl.25 cash rebate. This means
a saving of five cents on every dollars
worth purchased. Mr. Dinvine explains
that such discount would be, impossible
were it not for the fact mas his business
has increased to a point where he can
afford to give the benefit to his customers
who have made possible the speedy
growth of the Hubs business One can
not fail to appreciate this new plan which
operates with a direct benefit to the
cubic.
We call your attention to the above as
one example of the benefits derived from
trading with Belongs merchants. Again
we say. watch the progress Of the home
merchant, trade with them and save
money.

FRANK E. MILLER
IS EXONERATED
Will Not BE Prosecuted For Ac-
cidental Shooting.
Body of Lee o. Hall Brought Home
from North Woods for Burial
Miller Frustrated with Grief

The many friends of Frank c. Miller
will be pleased to hear that after a
thorough investigation of the case of his
accidental shooting of Lee 0. Hall, the
officers of Chippewa county have decided
not to prosecute him and also that Mr..
Halls people will bring no action. The
body of the unfortunate man was brought
home accompanied by Fred Smith Friday
and burial in the Portland cemetery near
his old home tlat of Daniel o. Hall in
Orange.
On the morning of the accident Miller
had business across the country to the
home of man living S miles distant,
Hall deciding to go with him. The busi-
ness per itained to some timber deals,
Miller being quite an extensive dealer in
lands and because bears had been troubl-
ing the camp they took their guns. Be-
fore reaching their destination they
learned the man whom they were seeking
was not at home and they turned back
through the woods, arriving at section
of land which Mr.. Miller had lately dis
posed Of The two men talked about the
price and to make more thorough inspec
ton Of the timber and determine its true
value they separated, but were in hailing
distance OF each other.
Miller heard a shot and then Hall
called out to him that he had shot deer
and warned Miller to be on his guard for
the wounded animal was coming in Mil
ler's direction. Miller stood with his gun
cooked, awaiting the deer, when he heard
a rustic and saw something moving be-
hind stump. 1t was Halls brown hunt
ing coat and Miller blazed away. From
OF pain and Miller realized he had shot
his companion HIS found Hall lying on
his face and when he turned him over
there was only gasp to indicate that his
life had not passed away the instant the
charge hit him.
Leaving his companion where he fell
Miller ran three miles to his own camp
and dispatched messengers to the 500.
Miller told Smith that when Hall
shouted to him that he had wounded q
deer Hall was behind him. Miller ran
some distance ahead and stopped to get
sight OF the deer. Still further ahead he
saw a movement in the brush and got a
quick glimpse of brown body. Suppos-
ing Hall to be still in the rear he took it
for granted that it was the wounded deer
and only discovered the mistake when he
had killed his friend Hall had evidently
become very much excited after wound
ing the deer and had travelled faster than
had Miller.

The Movement Against Mr.. Fits.
Randolph Herald

AS generally anticipated, Attorney
General Fits got almost a complete vim
dication as the result of the investigation
OF his professional conduct by the COM
mission appointed by the supreme court
to sift the charges brought against him
by certain parties of Brattleboro and
vicinity. The more serious allegations
were not sustained at all by proof In
one minor particular, the commission
found occasion for criticism, but in the
main 1t declared Mr.. Fits to be a lawyer
of high honor, faithful to his clients,
jealous in the discharge of duty and
meriting the confidence hitherto reposed
in him. The movement against Fits
simmered down to an exhibition Of per-
sonal spite by his enemies, notably a
former rumseller whom Fits has been
instrumental In putting out OF business,
and by one or two clients who seemed
to think Fits was bound to win their
cases. The investigation has served the
attorney general we'll in removing the
lurking distrust Of him that has been
industriously fostered by the aforesaid
enemies, and the collapse of the case
against him must bring some uncom-
Portable sensations to those responsible
Even an ass may bray at a lion.

out from the leading English factories.
Concerning the reed pipes in this organ,
1t is especially noteworthy that through
out their entire compass they are mel
low and rich, and totally free from that
unpleasant blatant quality that is so us
ually associated with reeds of large scale.
The string tones are characteristic and
delicate, and of the most approved mod
ern voicing. Aside from the novelties in
voicing am particularly impressed with
the exquisite voicing of certain standard
stops in the organ, especially most re-
markable orchestral flute, in which the
embouchure is so perfectly reproduced
that the best orchestral instrument can
produce no more perfect tone.
"As 1 have always found with Estey
organs, the action is beyond criticism, be-
ing absolutely instantaneous. both for
stops and keys, and always reliable, trou-
BILE of any kind being an unknown quanti-
ty. 1 consider the action the most relia-
BILE used in any organ built in the United
States today. The mechanical features OF
the organ render the playing of this In
strument exceedingly simple. The ere
scendo pedal is one of the most effective
and practical have ever used. NO test
can exceed the possibilities OF the Estey
pneumatic action, and II is possible to
play orchestral music, with such an organ
as this, with crisp and clean phrasing
as is impossible on the average organ,
even with electric action.
This instrument as a whole is one OF
the most perfect specimens of the organ
builders art, and It should be a great
honor to any city to possess such an
instrument. If any instrument deserves
the title, this one surely does, that OF
an Art Organ
