Let us Figure on Your Bill

This is the season when everybody
begins to figure on making needed re-
pairs about the place or putting up
new buildings.
We have anticipated the needs OF
users and have stocked up with the
choicest assortment of select lumber
and material ever offered in this section
So don't go and buy somewhere else
and then come to find out that you
could have done much better i'm both
price and quality right here, and then
go out and kick yourself. 1t will be
too late and will do no good If you
want lumber or other building material
no matter whether its little bill or q
big one, Get our prices before buying.
Our prices are absolutely right and no
matter what you want, one piece or a
complete house or barn bill. Let us
figure on your bill.

Belding Spiritual Investigating
Society Re-organize---Held
Big Meeting
MEDIUMS GET MESSAGES
Mrs. Shipman and Mrs. Fuller Make
Addresses Through Their Con-
trol-Also Give Sittings

The Belding branch of the State
Spiritual investigating Society held
meetings in Millard Hall last Sunday,
and il any body thinks that association
of thinkers along lines of religio
philosophical scientific and materials
tic lines is not alive they might have
had their minds disabused of the tho't
had they been present at the two meet
ings, one in the afternoon and the other
in the evening. Every seat was taken
in the afternoon, and I'm the evening
there was such q crowd that many
were standing or sitting on the floor.
Mrs. Lillian Shipman, of lansing
made the principal address in the after
noon and also gave few test messages
which came TO her sometimes from the
spirit world and also in the material.
She made her address while under the
infiuende of her control, taking on the
voice, gesture and language of the in
visible spirit which held possession of
her while she brought message TO the
interested audience, relating to "the
lost soul" She argued that no spirit
ualist believes that any soul is lost in
the spirit world or the hereafter, that
the only way in which souls are ever
"lost souls" is by being so enwrapped
with the material here in this
earth life that they fail in their COM
munion with the spirits of the spirit
world, and thus miss what our friends
who have passed over are anxiously
reaching out to give us, but that they
" s;S. with us and that it is only the
over crowding of the material in our
lives that we fail to grasp the messages
and comfort they would bestow
Mrs. Shipman also talked in an un-
known tongue.
Mrs. Belle Fuller of Grand Rapids,
lectured in the evening under control
also from the spirit world. She gave
messages at both afternoon and evening
sessions, her thought and mind being
led out into the audience and touching

Half Century Mark

Elmer f. Cook on Tuesday of this
week reached the above named mark,
and although by reason OF modesty or
otherwise, he thought to have kept the
fact secret; he was duly reminded of
it in the most unexpected way.
After his usual days labor, and with
u little extra thought for the added
weight of years, he was just closing up
his business at his office when a call
came with some plausible excuse, for
him TO come home, and on reaching
there, he found the excuse to be good
big one in the form of The Model
Washington Club, comprised of their
neighbors relatives and friends.
A pleasant evening was passed social
ly. Mrs. Cook served fine refresh
ments, and Elmer so far recovered
from his surprise as TO enter into the
spirit of the evening and wish that
they might all come often. Mr.. Cook
was the recipient of n fine ring, gift
from his wife and children.
