BIG AUTO TIRE
FACTORY MAY
LOCATE IN CITY
BRUNSWICK DEVELOPMENT CO.
WORKING FOR SUCH AN
INDUSTRY.
Big Concern Will Establish a Plant
Somewhere in This Section and
Brunswick is Making a Strong Bid
For the Factory.

Following closely upon the definite
announcement that s250,000 turpen-
tine distilling plant had decided to
locate in Brunswick, having already
closed a contract for the site and
made preliminary arrangements for
starting active work on the plant,
comes the statement that is is more
than probable that within the next
few weeks another large plant will
lie located in Brunswick.
This time it is to be an automo-
bile tire manufacturing industry.
Nothing definite mas yet been given
out, but it is known that Brunswick
is teing considered by the company
and every effort is being made to To-
cate the plant in the city. Core
spondence is now going on between
the officers of the company and the
Brunswick Development association,
with the result that it is likely that
some Of the officials will visit this
city shortly and make a thorough in
vestigation, looking over various sites
which will be offered etc.
This tire manufacturing company,
W'ich already has one large plant in
operation, realizes that the automO-
lille tade throughout the south is rap
idly growing, and it has decided to
erect mamoth plant in some city
in this section Brunswick's excel
lent railroad and slipping facilities.
together with the general location OF
the city for such a plant, are being
considered by the company, while the
Brunswick Advancement association
is making every effort to induce the
owners to locate the plant in the
city.
As stated, several letters have 81,
ready been exchanged, and it is un.
derstood that officials of the company
may visit the city within the next
week or ten days Brunswick would
lie an ideal location for such fac
tory, affording cheap freight rates to
all sections of the country and offer
ing every other advantage for such
an industry. -

BIZ INCREASE In
THEIR BUSINESS
MOST ENCOURAGING REPORT is
MADE BY THE DOWNING
COMPANY.
Brunswick's Largest Wholesale House
Reports an Increase of Thirty-five
Per Cent for February Over Same
Month of Last Year.

That Brunswick is an ideal spot
demonstrated bg the statement of Mr..
&. S. TAFT, the well-known manager
of the wholesale dry goods and groc-
cry departments of the Downing COM
pany. This company, which Incl
dentally is one of the largest whole
sale concerns in this section of the
country, in making comparative
statements with it's business of last
February as compared with the busi-
ness of the month just closed, dis
covers that the increase in the whole
sale departments aggregated thirty
1--WE per cent! When the whole vol
ume of this immense business is con-
sidered, the statement is almost stag
gering. and, of course, is most graft
flying to Mr. Tat.
Discussing the matter with a News
reporter yesterday, Mr.. TAFT said that
Brunswick offers more real induce
ments to the wholesale trade than
any city he could think of The ad
vantages of both rail and water trans
pOrtation he considers of incalcuab1e
benefit to these industries, while the
railroads at all times cooperate with
tre wholesalers in the matter of fur
nishing cars for the prompt handling
of goods. In this increase to which
reference is made, there has been nc
particular factor to which ii can be
credited The growth has been grad
ual and steady and territory. which
in the past has been seeking markets
in Savannah and Jacksonville, is now
coming to Brunswick.
Along that line Mr.. TAFT said: I'VE
large wholesale concerns right here
in Brunswick and they would in nc
way interfere with the volume of the
business now being done by whole
salers now doing business in thc
city" There is large territory trib
utary to Brunswick" continued Mr.
TAFT, which can and in time will be
served ly the wholesalers of this
city and when the Georgia Coast
& Piedmont comes in and its coming
soon, so they say, that territory vii
| broaden and expand" ''.
While The News has not made in
| quiry of the other wholesalers in
the city, il is safe to assume that in
ratio the increase reported by the
Downing COMPANY has been the case
with them ana on the whole it is
most encouraging and comes in inc
nature of splendid advertisement
for Brunswick as q wholesale and dis
! tributing point

JOSEPH BAILEY
!. RESIGNS SEAT
IN i. s. SENATE
FAMOUS STATESMAN OF TEXAS
STARTLES WASHINGTON BY
HIS SUDDEN ACTION
Vice-Presidert Sherman Refused to
Accept the Resignation, Which Was
Wired to Governor Campbell-No
Explanation For His Action.

Es=sSnlnStOn, IL. u, March J.-Unl
ted States Senator Joseph w. Bailey
Of Texas, today startled Washington
political circles by rendering his res
ignation and giving no explanations
of his reasons therefor.
Senator Bailey first presented his
resignation to Vice President Sher-
man, who refused to accept it. He
then wired his resignation to Gov
ernor Campbell, of Texas.
Senator Bailey's term would not
have expired until 1913, and even mis-
closest friends are puzzled at his
sudden and mysterious action.
For several years past there has
been no more powerful democratic
figure in the senate than tle Texan,
whose influence was not materially
affected by the fierce onslaughts made
upon him with reference TO mis- al
legged connection with tire Standard
Oil company. In the LOrimer scan
dal fight he was a leading defender
Of the Illinois man. and has re-
ceived nationwide criticism for his
speech of defense, which was mas
terpiece. Whether this has anything
to do with his resignation is not
known.
Won't Talk to Press.
Senator Bailey confirmed the re-
port that he had rendered his resig-
nation, but declined to give to the
press reasons for his action In con
versation with fellow senator's, he
ascd his reasons upon the vote cast
ny democratic senators in favor OF
approval OF the constitution of Ari
Zona, which. he said, was so con
tra,y to his ideas of government that

fed Yin continuing mis- service with
senators, who as members of his own
party would take the position that
had been taken in the vote on that
proposition.
Refused Appeals.
Immediately after the close OF The
session, Senator Bailey was closeted
some minutes with his democratic
colleagues, but resisted all appeals to
reconsider. He was then sent for
" Vice President Sherman with
whom he Went into consultation.

ed the Thimble and Card party given
by the Ladies Literary Club of Ionia
in the new Armory building. The
afternoon was a most enjoyable one and
was for the raising of funds to assist in
the building of the County Tuberculo-
sis shacks, to be erected this summer.
The supervisors appropriated $500 and
the remaining $500 necessary has been
raised by the Federated Womens' clubs
of the County, the Ionia ladies realizing
over $50 from their social function,
which more than made up the deficit
and will leave them neat little sum
to help out in some other later need in
the good work. The Ionia ladies prov.
ed themselves most genial hostesses
and all had a pleasant time and were
entertained with cards, light fancy
work, social chat or auto rides about
the city. Light refreshments were
served during the afternoon and all
were surely glad that they were of the
company and appreciative of the EN-.
tertainment of the Ionia ladies.

Where Was He Ats

We have heard of many cases of alb
sentmindedness from time TO time, in
fact Mr.. o. u. Absentmind of the
Grand Rapids Herald funny paper is
enough TO make a pessimist smoker,
but for a case of clearly original alb
sentmindedness our old friend Charlie
Brown has them all beaten to fragile.
The story as vouched for by several of
our responsible citizens is substantially
as follows:
Wednesday morning, Charlie was
out OH his lawn peaceably engaged in
sprinkling the dry places and at the
same time enjoying real comfortable
smoke with his pipe. AS the watering
proceeded the contents of his pipe re-
ceded till naught but ashes remained
and right heIe is where the absent
mindedness appears. Removing his
pipe from his mouth he very carefully
knocked the ashes therefrom and then
put the nozzle into his pocket instead
of his pipe. 1t required only a second
for Charlie TO discover his mistake but
he says he had on an old pair of linen
pants with hole in the pocket so it
did not matter much.

Old Bill is Gone

"Billn is the old horse that Wilson
d Friedly used TO deliver furniture
with for many years, he was purchas-
ed by Mr.. Wilson 10 years ago OF
Greenville parties and would occasion
ally come down the pike like whirl-
wind when "Hank" Friedly got in a
hurry. When the company sold out
Mr.. Wilson gave the old horse home
and good care.
Tuesday he was in the pasture near
the old cemetery when the storm was
on and took refuge under big oak tree
an electric current struck in the vicin-
ity and "Bill" was seen to stagger up
against the fence and finally collapse.
Bill was about 20 years old.

May Festival.

On Friday evening last good sized
audience enjoyed the May Festival at
the Church of Christ, given by the
Church or Christ choir, under The
leadership of Mrs. Earl Wilson and
assisted by Mr.. William Thorpe of
Grand Rapids and goodly number of
our local talent. The program was a
most pleasing one and as usual proved
Mrs. Wilson most able director. Miss
Irma Kirby, their church organist did
fine work as accompanist. The open
ing, Spring Song, 10y Mendelssohn, by
the full chorus, followed by the Crown
ing of the May Queen and May Pole
Dance by twenty children from the
kindergarten were good opening num-
bers. Mr.. Thorpe, who always pleases
a Bedding audience, sang two numbers,
Blow, Blow thou Winter Wind by Sar-
jeant and The old Black Mare, by
Squires which were both warmly en-
cored and Mr.. Thorpe responded with
another pleasing selection. The audi
ence showed their thorough apprecia-
ton of each number and our people can
well be pleased that they have so able
a musician working among us as Mr..
Thorpe who now has good vocal class
in the city and stands as director of the
Choral Union recently organized. Miss

BIG TIME AT IONA
A Great Week For All Who Attend
Chautauqua Assembly.


Word has just come to us that the
managers of the Chautauqua AS
sembly, which is to be held at Ionia
the entire week from June 2S to and
including July A, have just con-
tracted for a mammoth tent, capable
of seating two thousand people.
From every direction comes evil
dence of the widespread interest
that this great occasion is awaken
ing in the people, and it is not sur
prising, either, when one considers
that Gov. Folk, blind Senator Gore,
the witty Bede and the eloquent OFT
are all ssage-bearing men who
have something of live interest to
say to the people. OF course, Mark
ley, Oneal and Mrs. Lake are not so
we'll known as national characters,
but each is a speaker of great inter
est and ability.
The musical entertainment will be
Of equally as high order as the
speaking, the Kellogg-Haines Opera
Company, and the famous Dunbar
Male Quartet are musical artists
whose productions at that time
will be of a quality seldom heard in
this locality before. The celebrated
Kalamazoo all star band will give a
complete concert each afternoon and
evening of the week.
1t is planned to make this the
greatest week in an educational and
entertainment way that has ever
been given in the history of Western
Michigan, and every moment of the
time will be full of high grade enter
tainment and amusement.
