WHAT BRINGS BUSINESS
Ii is a Good Market and Reasonable
Retail Prices

A we'll known farmer said the other
day 81 take little stock i'm the argu-
ment that majority of farmers are
influenced as TO where they trade by
the fact that "A saloon is or is not locat-
ed in town. Maintaining good
market for farm produce and stock
means much more TO a town than that
in bringing trade 10 given point.
Two years ago Grant was dry and
Howard City wet but Grant got nearly
30 percent of the west fruit crop be-
cause she had several buyers and they
paid the price. Last year conditions
were exactly reversed. Last winter
Pierson was dry and Howard City wet.
However Pierson got big bunch of
the beans and grain because Pierson
buyers offered up real hard cash in
ducements To haul the produce there.
On the other hand, Howard City,
wet, pulled potatoes right away from
Sand Lake and other dry towns, last
winter because the best market for
potatoes i'm Howard City's history was
maintained. The farmers are business
men; they do not trade at certain
point out of sentiment. When you can
show them it is to their advantage TO
trade there they will do it. There is
little sane logic in whether they care
to guzzle beer or not.

KILLED BY CARS
Greenville Boy Cut intwo while Jump
ing From Fast Freight

A very sad accident occurred at the
Pere Marquette Depot in Greenville
Tuesday morning. Alvia Cornwell,
aged about II years, with number of
other Greenvile boys, had been TO
Belding TO attend the circus and they
were stealing ride on the freight that
passes through here about three o'clock
in the morning.
When Alvia jumped from the train
he struck baggage truck which stood
very close TO the track and was thrown
back wards under the cars and was cut
intwo through the chest. When he
hit the truck he struck il with force
enough to start ii rolling and il ran in
10 the freight train with such force
that the train men felt the jar and
stopped the train To see what was the
matter and when they came back they
were Mortified to find the young mans
body under the wheels.
1t is common custom for a lot of
Greenville boys TO come TO Belding
evenings and then beat their way home
on the freight and this is the second
accident that has cost young man
his life as result of it. Every effort
has been made TO stop the practice but
1t will probably continue until there
are a few more fatalities and the Green
Vile boys learn the imminent danger
attending such trips. The dead boy is
A cousin of Edward Cornwell of this
;ity.

Fish Tales

George Neiderman and George Sill
bon, of Newark, have 1T on Captain
Trave Bloodgood, Of Morgan's Sta
ton. Early yesterday morning Neid-
erman and Silbon started out from
the Saturday Club House, telling
Trave that they were going after a
mess Of fish. Traye said he would
eat every fish they caught "scales and
inwards' and when they returned
with twelve pounds Of cells that they
out.
The heavy fog that settled down on
Raritan bay Friday night refused to
move Saturday and 1t kept many
boat-owners from going down to the
Highlands and other points where
fishermen gather. Yesterday it lifted
about noon and quite a few boats
yentured out, but they were all from
points around Staten Island and the
Amboys. Charlie Lining had his
feet Of two moving around the fish
ing grounds Sunday.
William German and Jake Wort
mann, of Newark, shook hands with
Acker at Sewaren yesterday and
then went out fishing. Jake caught
eighteen cells and even tomcods and
German twenty-one cells and nine
tomcods. This pair has fished togeth-
er at Sewaren for the last ten years.
Jake says Acker's handsake is lucky,
and II he isn't around when they get
there they wait for him.
If you want to catch a good mess
of eels from a rowboat go to Van
Pelt's boathouse and ask "Billy" to
show you where to anchor. Several
local fishermen caught twenty pounds
there yesterday, and Charles Geny, of
Tottenville, caught fourteen pounds.
The best fishing grounds are within
200 yards Of the boathouse.
