that the poet from whose pen has
come the immortal lyric Of the
hearthstone was himself rowing
outeast--a homeless wanderer. The
world remembers the pathetic story
of John Howard Payne. Broken in
health and reduced in fortune, the
poor American exile found himself
In the throbbing heart of the great
city of London. Between his pub
fishers who allowed him little-and
his creditors who came to see
MIN often--the penniless poet was
in sore traits. The Atlantic ocean
separated him from kith and kin,
He felt the acutest sense OF isolation
the bitterest pangs TO loneliness
Perhaps no solitude is more oppres-
sive than the solitude of great cities
the solitude which broods In the
repellant looks of the unsympathetic
multitudes II Is. as Lucian Knight
has said. the hearts Sahara. Bereft OF
all other consolation, Payne seiz d
the harp; aud lightly he touched
the strings, But not in vain. For
the fire of inspiration was In the
poets soul; and on the banks OF the
River Thames, from the aching
heart of an humble exile,leaped the
hearthstone melody of Home Sweet

FINE SLEIGH RIDE
Box Factory Hands Had One To The
Home OF MIR. and Mrs.
Ransom Abbey

Last Saturday afternoon, at the invi.
tation of Mr.. and Mrs. Ransom Abbey,
the employees of the Beldins branch OF
the Grand Rapids Paper Box Factory
took a sleigh ride to their home.
Promptly ut two o'clock the bunch
securely loaded in Al Wells big sleigh
started for the scene of hospitality. In
due time all arrived there in fine shape
and after thawing out opened up the
sport of the day by playing game
called at pays to advertise" II took
only short time TO develope who read
the advertisements and at the end of
the game Bertha Barnes and Elwood
Rockefeller had tied for first place. A
deck of cards was produced and Bertha
won the cut and prize.
Following the close OF the game, as
one OF them put it, the guests sat down
to one Of the finest spreads that ever
graced table. Everyone acted as if
they were tied TO their chairs, and il is
said that no one left the table until
someone, probably Mr.. Abbey, yelled
fire and i'm the confusion that followed
Al Wells hid the table until most of
the eaters had been corralled in the
front room where they settled their
supper by singing. The next thing in
entertainment was pedro and Edna
Rockefeller carried off first prize with
an abandon that showed her we'll on to
the mysteries of that delightful game.
Miss Lena Campbell drew the consola-
ton. About this time the hostess
thousht she discovered hungry look on
the face of some of the guests and she
introduced popcorn and apples TO avoid
any danger OF the party starving to
death. Another session OF singing and
about midnight after singing "Home
sweet Home" all started for home
where they arrived about 2 a. m each
one declaring it was the best time of
their life.

NOW SOLE OWNER
Harry A. Lamb Purchases the Interest
of Edward Lamb, Deceased

Last Saturday morning, the firm OF
Lamb Bros for SO many years identi-
fled in the growth and prosperity of our
city, ceased TO exist and Harry A
Lamb, became the sole owner OF the
popular grocery store, having purchas-
ed the interests of his brother Ed who
died so suddenly few weeks ago.
Harry has been resident of this city
for about twenty-three years and has
always numbered among his friends
the best people in the city. Lamb
Bros. Grocery has been a popular trad
ing place for grocery buyers for years
and when the senior member was called
so suddenly from the active duties OF
life, the friends of this popular trading
place wondered what result it would
have on the business. Harry has a
host of friends ndlpatrons in this city
and the surrounding country who will
be glad 10 learn that he has decided to
continue in business at the old stand,
and though Eds genial happy coun-
tenance will be missed for many
months we are glad TO state that Harry
will be with US TO cater to the wants of
those who eat TO live.

tions began to involve important facts
the length OF time he took TO respond
prevented any excessive interest grow
ing in the audience or jury. Each
answer was so long delayed as to as
sumo the character Of an anti-climax.
The evidence given by him as TO the en-
counter was vague, and of course can
not be rated as the average evidence
would be.
The last witness called was the pris-
oner, John Trowbridge. He gave the
greater part OF his testimony with more
tears than words; it was extremely
difficult TO understand him, and he
seemed to shed no new light on the
circumstances which surrounded the
shooting. On being examined by his
previous record he admitted that he
once was convicted Of taking a little
money, but he didn't mean to do it. y
The greater part of his testimony con-
sisted of revolving instances of his
fathers brutal treatment OF mis- family,
including his son, who, in spite of his
age, is as terrified before his parent. as
a child.

Talk In Washington Regard

HADLEY FOR ROOSEVELT
The Missouri Governor Ii Is Said
Would Accept The Nomina-
tion-A Strong Com
bination

Announcement that Governor Had
of Roosevelt for the presidency has
brought TO thought the possibility that
Governor Hadley might be nominated
for second place on the ticket if the
Roosevelt movement should succeed.
Talk to this effect has been heard in
Washington in the last few days. 1t is
said by those who should know that
Governor Hadley would accept such a
nomination. Missouri, with all its inn
portance as a state, has never had a
nominee for the presidency. Three
times, however, il has been honored
with second place on the ticket. Fran
els p. Blair, Jr., was nominated with
Seymour by the Democrats in 1868;
b. Gratz Brown was nominated with
Horace Greeley in 1872 by the Demo
Gratis and the liberal Republicans,

His party wanted TO put him on the

With Roosevelt from New York and

FARMERS INSTITUTE
CALLED OFF

The Farmers Institute which was
dated to have been held here on Thurs
day, February Sth has been called OIL
on account of conflicting with the Or
leans Institute to be held on the same
day, also because of the further fact
that the Grattan Institute will be held
on Wednesday, February 7th, the day
before. Many farmers in this section
make il point TO attend these insti-
tutes at both places and it was thought
best TO cut out the Belding date.
Much valuable information is gained
at these meetings and farmers generally
should make ii their business TO attend.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED
Big Dry Goods Combination to be
Formed In Belding-Lloyd and
Arnold Stocks to be Merged

A short time ago +. G. Lloyd, our
hustling dry goods man announced a
mystery sale and it has gradually leak
ed out just what the mystery would
be. An arrangement has been perfected
by which Messrs +. g. Lloyd and the
&. :. Arnold Co. will join issues and
operate under the name of The Lloyd
& Arnold Co. The new arrangement
will not take place until after the 18th
of February when both OF the big stock
reduction sales of these TO firms will
end
Mr. Lloyd has been in this city so
long is so well known by everybody
that it is seemingly useless TO say a
word concerning his business integrity
and general good fellowship in our
community. Mr.. Arnold has not been
here as long as Mr.. Lloyd but during
his residence here has won his way in
10 the hearts Of the people in manner
which speaks volumes for his ability
as merchant and good fellow. The
Banner congratulates these gentlemen
on the amalgamation and can safely
recommend them TO our readers as a
firm worthy of your unlimited conf
dence and patronage.
