Your Homes at Stake

We wonder if the average voter,
when he steps into the booth on elec-
ton day, TO cast his vote for the various
offices ever stops and considers the inn
portance which hangs around the choice
for the various offices. Take for in
stance the office of Register of Deeds.
If a careless man should be chosen for
that position, the very safety OF our
homes would be at stake. The proper
registration of the deeds which confer
to us the title to the homes in which
we live is the only sure safeguard we
have 10 perpetuate our titles TO our
homes. The republicans have placed
| in nomination for this most important
Office, Hon. John G.. Beattie of Ionia
and should he be elected TO this impor-
tant position the title of every home in
Ionia county will be carefully looked
after and recorded in way that will
leave no loop holes for the designing te

home OF your friends. He is man
who has been tried out along officia
lines and has made good at every turr
and the voters of Ionia county vii
make no mistake in elevating him 4
the office of which he aspires. Fou

Barn and Contents
DRIVING HORSE ALSO
Cause of Fire Unknown-tnsured In
Farmers Mutual of Ionia, Amount
Wont Cover Loss

The barn OF Joseph ID. Morse at
Cook IS Corners caught fire and burned
to the ground last Friday night with
all its contents including Mr.. Morse's
fine horse, buggy and harness. The fire
was discovered shortly before 10 o'clock
and Mr.. Morse who had been sleep
ing ran out in his night clothes to save
his horse if possible, but the flames had
such a start that he could not get into
the door and the poor animal had to
be left to its awful fate. A social
was being held at the Cleaners Hall
near by and at the alarm everybody
rushed TO assist in saving what they
could, the chicken sheds were also
burned but the chickens were saved.
A large quantity of chicken feed just
purchased also burned in the barn.
Mr.. Morse only carried $3.50 insurance,
which was not nearly the amount of
loss sustained. 1t is a hard blow to
him, coming at this time of the year.
The cause OF the fire is unknown, but
Mr.. Morse thinks a tramp sought shell
ter there for the night and in some
manner set the fire.

She Was Interested
In Married

SANTA MONICA, De. 31.-That the
disappearance of Miss Celina Borde,
the San Luis Obispo school teacher,
who has been missing since December

the belief steadily growing In the
minds of her friends, who fear that she
took her own life Although dillgent
search has been made for the young
woman ever since she was first missed,
no trace of her has, yet been found.
For a considerable time previous to
her disappearance Miss Borde, accord
ing to Miss Margaret e. Handley, a
Santa Monica school teacher, and other
friends. acted peculiarly, She appeared
to be utterly despohdent and her
friends worried about her a great deal
Miss Handley left for the bedside of
her sick brother in San Jose on the
evening of Miss Bordes departure
and has not since been heard from by
her friends in regard to Miss Borde.
Miss Handley told Mrs. Connolly, with
whom she has been living, that Miss
Borde acted as If she were in despair
and on one occasion said to Mrs. Con-
nelly;
Il don't know what will become of
Miss Borde if she doesn't get better
soon"
Mrs. Rosa Bofde, SlStef-Iu-AdW oA
the missing teacher, is still at Va loss
to account for the mysterious absence
of her relative. 1t was rumored( here
that Miss Borde was interested ln a
man who married another womanAlast
spring and was greatly affected blythe
incident Mrs. Borde declared She
knows nothing of this.
Persistent watchers are on the look

meath the waters of the bay and may
be thrown out at any time. Miss
Borde is supposed to have walked or
Jumped off the municipal pier on the
night of her disappearance.
