getting mixed up in a serious and

succeeded in pulling himself onto the
car steps. For a minute it looked as
If he could not keep from falling

will get it.

at the band park on Monday evening,
but owing to a Misunderstanding OF
some kind regarding the preparations
the speech was declared off and he
received his friends at the Imperial
Hotel instead, and on the next day
personally visited the business places
in town and also met a number of
citizens at the Commercial Club
rooms
Mr.. Clagstone declares that he has
unwavering confidence of his nomina-
tion for the goyernorship, and there
are some who argue that he has at
least a possible show through means
of the second choice vote. However.
as the decision of the supreme court
does not make il mandatory" as to
who" is to be voted for on sec
ond choice, John Doe, or some ether
mythical parsonage will possibly be
invoked to act as scapegoat in this
emergency, and win carry this bur
den into the mountains of Hepsidam,
or some other remote and unplotted
district and leave it.

Improvements Being Made At
That Familiar Place East
Of Kiddville
SAW MILL is SOLD
New Flume of Concerted Foundations
Being Laid-It Was An
Old Timer

The Improvements which are being
made at Ravells mills located short
distance east of Kiddville (the station
now known as Kidd brings To memory
one of the old landmarks of this part
of Ionia county and which had much
to do in supplying the wants and needs
of the early day settlers for many miles
around. The old saw mill turned out
lumber at the rate of from two or three
thousand feet a day and sometimes as
high as six thousand with its old up
right saw cutting through the log i'm
'gigger fashion,. 1t was built more
than fifty years ago and its twin sister
the old gristmill, which stands near il
was also built about the same time.
Uncle Jude II. Spencer operated them
for number of years and the early
settlers remember with pleasure the
opportunity they afforded for furnish
ing -four and corn meal and ground
feed and lumber and slabs and bill stuff
when the country was new and in the
days when ii was "hard Shedding" TO
get along.
Watkins Ravell bought the property
about thirty-siX years ago and continu-
ed TO operate the old grist mill together
with his son until his death.

KELLY WAS HERE
Good Crowd Listened to Him-Made
Favorable Impression

Hon. Patrick III. Kelley candidate
for Governor came into the city Tues
day evening on schedule time i'm Gen.
Fred Green's auto car and with him a
party of eight or ten, another car being
used To accommodate the bunch. The
Lieutenant Governor had made trip
of more than 100 miles during the day
and given half dozen speeches.
The speaking was from the band
stand TO good sized crowd of people
about five hundred, perhaps more were
on the ground, attracted by the Beld-
| ing cornet band. Fred A. Wash burn
first introduced n. j. Whelan, who
made good speech, setting forth rea-
sons why Mr.. Kelley should be the
nominee and the necessity for retain
ing his service TO the state as its eX-
ecutive officer at this time.
Mr.. Kelley is fine speaker and very
logical and forceful in his arguments,
he said he was pleased to greet so many
people in Bedding and proceeded at
once TO give his reasons why he should
like TO receive the nomination, he had
no hard word TO say, against other can
didates believing that no man could
build himself up by pulling the other
fellow down. AS Lieutenant Governor
his record was before the people and If
nominated and elected to the higher
office, he would pursue the same hon
est and straight forward course. He be-
lieved that the rich mining properties
of the Upper Peninsula should bear
their just share of the state taxes and
favored an inquiry into their value
that they might be taxed the same as
other corporate property; in this he took
a shot at Osborn the Upper PENN
sula candidate, implying that should !
he be elected there might be a tendency
on mis- part TO do it in different way.
Although there was no noticeable dem |
onstration of applause in the meeting.
Mr.. Kelley left a favorable impression.

A nj u : Il NJ r N I s

'The Farmers Daughter" rural
comedy of more than usual merit will
he the attraction at the opera house on
Thursday, Aug. Is. The play tells a
pretty story of New England and car
ries deep and reverent moral lesson.
1t tells of the efforts of a beautiful young
woman TO right the wrong imposed up
on her by heartless man, and the
trend of the story shows the outcast
wandering among the bleak hills of
social ostracism.
"The Farmers Daughter" is named
as the successor of "'The Old Home
stead,u and sway Down East" and
such it is, If popular approval counts
for anything. 1t introduces two ex-
tremely clever and funny characters;
"Hyp and ,eThankful' are two farm
hands whose love affairs run anything

sThankfulu is over-bold. "Thankful's,
efforts TO force "Hy" To propose are
said TO give rise TO some extremely
ludicrous situations and give the audi
ence plenty OF cause for the exercise
