She was married TO Benjamin s.
Bigley April IA, 1859, in the city of Au-
burn, n. Y. After few days visit in
that vicinity, they started for Michigan
on April rs and arrived at Ionia the
evening of the 9th, thence by stage TO
Cooks Corners. They stayed for a
time ut the home of John Ashley, where
they were kindly received, and on May
bought their present home, taking
possession about June or 8. Their
first house was log one and stood on
the site that the present one occupies.
She is survived by her husband and
two sons, Ralph S. and William G.,
also four grandchildren and two broth
ers, Alonzo Ocobock of Auburn, y. Y,
and Lockhart Cookbook of Chicago, ILL.,,
The youngest son, Fred b., died June

only five days; her husband, children,
grandchildren and several other near

She entertained a firm belief in n flu
ture life and her moral character was
of the highest type. Her life as wife,
mother and friend was ideal.

The above representative men of our

we ask is careful weighing of the evil
dence. The leading men of Ionia coun-
" are supporting George w. Schneider.
Mr.. TaylOr's press agent has gone TO
great length i'm this weeks papers TO
weaken our evidence relative TO the de-
literiOus effect OF inbreeding in the
sherin7s office but Inadvertently admits
that i'm the history of Ionia county but
one subordinate officer was ever adj
vanced To the office of sheriff.
Mr.. Taylor's income during the past
twelve or twenty years has without
doubt been greater than Mr.. Schneider's
and if he has not economized-well,
perhaps this is one reason why the
members of the board of supervisors,
who audit all bills against the county,
SO warmly endorse Mr.. Schneider. AT
any rate there has been a big change of

To the Citizens OF Bedding and Vicinity:
Series No. u of the Bedding Building
" Loan Assn stock natures Sept. 1,
10 Number of shares maturing are
131, amounting Sl3,l There are but
46 shares of this series taken in the city
of Belding, amounting To g, 800, leaving
80 shares of this series taken by out
-siders, amounting TO $500, who reside
i'm New York, Philadelphia, New Jer-
sey, Detroit and Chicago. In other
words, about 90 per cent of this S13, 100
of stock was taken by outsiders and
only 80 per cent by our own citizens of
Bedding. IL occurred To me, as secre-
tary of this association, that the Beld-
ing citizens ought TO be advised of the
fact OF what outsiders think of the
Bedding Bldg d Loan Assn stock by
their subscribing SO literally for large
majority OF stock without being urged
TO do so. These people i'm other states
seem TO know good thing when they
see il and have seen il for the past many
years. The wonder is why not more
of the Beldingites see il and patronize
their own home city association more,
thereby leaving the thousands of dol
lars of profits earned by this association
within this city and vicinity, instead
of sending these large profits TO outside
states. Every man, woman and child
ought TO see To IL that more of these
profits remain in Bedding hereafter, by
subscribing for stock now on i'm this
association, from l share TO 20 shares
in any one series.

A man whose wife is somewhere in

comfort, pleasure and education OF
the public who attend. And because
of this completeness of detail in the

shown will be worthy Of q prise. tbe
care which has been talsm mUums
that the standard of exhibits win BE-
raised considerably over that q tho
past, and many Of the most oele
brated animals in the country VIII
be shown. The livestock feature Of
this years fair will go down In hln
tory as one of the most remarkable
ever gathered together. This state
ment applies not only to cattle. but
to swine, sheep horses and poultry.
In the cooking, sewing, drawing.
painting and other educational lines
the exhibits will also be found to be
astonishing, both as to excellepce and
numbers. The superintendent lof
these departments have all been
working hard. with the result that
the number of individual exhibitors
has been increased in some casss
nearly 80 per cent.
A feature In which the MichigaA

the parish. He and his family were
living in a rude shack, made out Of
odds and ends.

men who were unloading the material
In front Of his patch of ground.
