Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1908-12-31

~NERY one who Is familiar with
the customs of the creoles and
Acadians of Louisiana knows
that New Years is the most
eagerly anticipated and the most i'm
portant of their festivals.
A religious significance is attached
also to the New Years anniversary.
They believe that from day dawn to
lark an angel. "range de paix," broods
over each household. striving TO de-
stroy hatred, malice and all uncharita-
oleness I'm the heart and to substitute
owe and forgiveness. II his prompt
ngs are obeyed. enemies forgiven and
he hand opened wide in charity, that
mans sins are wiped off the record,
md he starts on new year with a
clean conscience.
For week before New Years day
he preparations of the "habitans" be-
gin. The house undergoes a thorough
.crubbing and cleaning from garrett to
basement and is whitewashed inside
and out. have an idea the Acadian
nousekeeper fancies that "l'ange de
paix" is going to make a close scrutiny
INTO all her dust corners and hidden
receptacles and would be disguised
with a rusty pot or dirty pan.
The hunters go out on a grand "bat-
rue" to provide game. If new dress
Is possible during the year, it is GER
ain to be made up and worn then.
But in two houses in Cote Blanche
these cheerful notes of preparation
we're unheard. To look at them you
would not be likely to perceive con-
hection between the largest and most
comfortable farmhouse In Cote
Blanche, the property of rich old
Jacques Lefebvre and the miserable
and daubed cabin which stood at the
edge of Laverne woods-a cabin with
dirt floor and unglazed windows,
home of poverty and illness, where the
father and breadwinner. helpless in
valid, watched his pale wife and three
children with despairing eyes.

FLED FROM THREATENED WRATH
Conscience Must Have Worried Men
Who Eavesdropped.

Two boys were out picking nuts,
and they wanted to divide them
equally between them, so they went
over the fence into the cemetery and
sat down among the tombstones to
count out the nuts. While going
over the fence they dropped two nuts,
but didn't stop to pick them up. A
man came along and heard them and
stopped to listen and heard them say
ing: zone for you and one for me"
"One for you and one for me-" and he
became badly frightened and ran away
down the road, and met another man,
who said: What's the matter?" The
first man said: THE devil and the
Lord are up in the cemetery dividing
up the people," and the second man
said: "Oh, no, that couldn't bel" The
first man says: Yes, they are;
heard them" The two men went back
TO the fence to listen and heard them
saying: "One for you and one for me-"
"One for you and one for me; now
that's ALL" and the other boy says:
Except the two at the fence, and that
will be one for you and one for me-"
The two men ran away as fast as they
could.-The News.

Six years before that Harry Wood.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed, Deafness Is the re.
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be token out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Heavy Wire Clipped
The banner was a neavy affair, the
wire cable which held it suspended
being almost as large as a mans
wrist. This was clipped On h north

which in turn burned a hole in a water
pipe, which flooded the store n dam

Policemen Inactive.
Shortly after the banner fell a
