prettily decorated for the occasion.

SILK CITY LAUNDRY
HAS SPLENDID RECORD

In summing up my business for
1914. it is very gratifying to note
the increase in the amount of busi-
ness done, and the number of new
customers added.
/ have been operating the Silk City
Laundry for the past six years, and
the past year shows the largest in
crease in amount OF business done.
This has called for more room, more
help and more machinery. A new
boiler room, Is by 20 feet, has been
built in the rear Of the plant, and a
20 horse power boiler installed. An
extra washer has been put in, making
now three in all, and more help en-
ployed. so now there are five on the
pay roll, which now amounts to near
ly $4,000 per year. This money is
paid to Belding labor. and is spent for
Belding goods, and when you send
your laundry work to The Silk City
Steam Laundry you are patroniZing a
home industry, and helping your home
town. We aim to get your work out,
and back to you early in the week.
/ wish TO thank my customers who
have stood by me so generously the
past year, and will be glad to add new
names TO our list Of regular customers.
i wish you all happy and prosper

FROM ENGLAND

Mrs. Ada Dewhirst, for many years
a resident Of Belding and now living
in the city of Accrington, Lancashire,
England, has written letter to Mrs.
Lulu Reynolds of this city telling
something Of the present conditions
in her city. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Dew
hirst had many acquaintances in this
city. A portion Of Mrs. Dewhirst' S
letter will be of interest to her friends
here and is given below:
Accrington, England, Dec. Is, 1914.
Dear Lulu,
| am afraid there will be a lot Of
heavy hearts around here this Christ
mas. The lady next door came in
this afternoon to tell me about a
young fellow being killed i'm the war
and | know him very we'll OH 1t is
terrible to hear of so many being
killed.
We have a lot Of Belgians here
feel very sorry for them. There are
some very sad cases Children that
don't know where their parents are
and parents that don't know where
their children are.
We have two hospitals full Of
wounded soldiers. In fact the town
seems full of soldiers of one kind or
another. i don't know where il is
all going to end. / have never seen
England in such a state before. But
we are all trying to make the men
as happy as we can. i saw in the
paper what lot of things the people
OF the United States are sending here
and we are all very thankful for them.
/ have no very near relatives in
the war but 1 have lots Of friends and
there is no telling how soon the others
will be called

WRIGHT GIVES VIEWS ON
SCHOOL COMMISSIONER

The following letter from l.. L.
Wright is the voluntary opinion Of
one of the best school officials the
state has ever had and a man who
thoroughly knows whereof he speaks
regarding Harvey II. Lowrey, present
school commissioner and candidate
for reelection. Mr.. Wright speaks of
him only in an official way but people
in all parts of the county know him
personally and socially. He is well
liked and thoroughly respected.
Mr.. Wright, the writer Of the fol-
lowing letter was for many years
superintendent Of Public instruction
and is now superintendent
at the State School for the Deaf at
Flint. AS an educator he is probably
more familiar with the needs of Michi-
gan schools than any other man. His
opinion will carry weight Mr..
Wright's letter follows:
Flint, Mich, Dec. 10 1914.
"Ionia Sentinel, Ionia, Mich.
Gentlemen: / received letter
this morning from a teacher of Ionia
county and among other things this
teacher told me that Harvey Lowrey
was likely to have opposition In the
election for school commissioner next
spring. / cannot understand how
there would be any opposition to con-
tinuing a man like Harvey Lowrey in
that place, unless it should be caused
by a personal grievance. / don't sup
pose any man can courageously and
efficiently administer affairs OF an Of
flee like his and not be obliged to
wound somebody's self-love or self
interest There are very few coun-
ties in this state that have the OPP
portunity to get such service from
such a man. / am thoroughly ia
miliar with school conditions all over
the state and l should like to say
that there are few men that are equal
to Harvey Lowrey in efficiency and
general all around excellence. l don't
know much about him personally or
socially, but he is a splendid official.
yours truly,
IL. l.. WRIGHT"

MUTUAL W|NDSTORM
INSURANCE COMPANY
SHOWS BIG GROWTH

Though this has not been an ex-
ceptionally good year for the growth
OF Windstorm Insurance Companies,
on account of the few severe wind
storms in this state, yet the Michigan
Mutual Tornado, Cyclone and Wind
storm Insurance Company whose
nome offices are at Hastings
Mich, has enjoyed the largest growth
in its history with the single exoep-
ton Of one year
Since the first Of January, 1914, the
Company has written over eleven mil
lions of dollars ($11, ,000,000) OF new
insurance and will doubtless pass the
twelve million mark at the close of
business Dec. 31st next, when the fis-
cal year closes. Thus far this year
too, this company has added 1900 new
members TO it's membership
This will bring the total member
ship Of the Company to nearly 61 900
members, and will bring its assessable
capital, or total insurance written to
more than one hundred and twenty
five millions of dollars ($125, 900, ,00O).
Way along back in the early eigh-
ties, when cyclones and severe wind
storms first commenced to bound
across this commonwealth, and de-
stroy houses, barns and property OF
all kinds, there were no insurance
companies of this kind i'm Michigan
by means Of which people could in
sure against the awful destruction
Of the winds.
1t happened that down in Barry
County there was man who had an
idea. He believed that there would be
business enough in windstorm insur-
ance 70 organize an insurance company
along mutual lines, and that such
company would supply an actual need.
That man was ID. w. Rogers.
SO in the winter of 1SS4-85 Mr..
Rogers succeeded in getting bill
through the Legislature, and a charter
was issued. The Michigan Mutual
Tornado, Cyclone and Windstorm In
surance Company was organized Mr..
Rogers as the father OF the Com
pany being elected Secretary, and has
served in that capacity ever since.
How we'll he has succeeded it is only
necessary to point to the wonderful
growth Of the Company from that
day to this. Very largely though
his own efforts he has seen the con-
Germ grow from almost nothing up to
the next to the largest Insurance
Company of it's kind in the whole
world
On page nine OF the Banner this
week will be found a large advertise
ment telling of the achievements OF
the Michigan Mutual Tornado, Cyclone
and Windstorm Insurance company.
We ask our readers to read this an
nouncement carefully. Any further
information which may be desired
about the company can be secured by
making inquiry a the Banner office.

brought into Justice Lapham's court
last Wednesday. December 23 by Con-
stable Henry Carleton to answer a
charge OF jumping a board bill. Com
plant was made by Mrs. Kate Shan

ninety days but Elliot was OF the
opinion that he could secure money
from friends in Muskegon and was
given time to raise the necessary funds
to secure his release. He was unable
to get the money and was placed on
ninety days probation Thursday.
Constable Carleton claims that it
was through a fine piece OF detective
work that the boys were located in
Muskegon. After considerable diff
Guilty he succeeded in rounding them
up at that place. Jensen showed
fight when accosted by the officer and
tried 10 bluff Carleton with shot gun.

however. and took his man within
few minutes.

ALDERMAN OLDS
TELLS EXPERIENCE
IN ANDERSOhVILLE
SPENT SEVENTEEN MONTHS IN
PRISON, FOURTEEN IN AN
DIGRSONEILLE

Alderman w. II. Olds tells some in
teresting incidents about his life in
the Andersonville prison during the
Civil war. He was confined in the
confederate stockade for fourteen
months. He also spent three months
in the prison at Richmond.
In telling of his experiences in An
dersonville Mr.. Olds says: II am
probably the youngest Michigan man
who has seen the service that l have.
/ was in the army three years and
five months Seventeen months of
this time was spent in the confederate
prisons, and fourteen of these were
spent in Andersonville. / could not
begin to tell you the worst incidents
of life in the prison because there is
no one that would believe it today.
II was one Of the first ten men that
went into the prison when 1t was es-
tablished / was one Of the last to
come out of the prison at the end Of
it's existence as prison. Eight Of my
companions perished while prisoners
The ninth one died years ago. | am
now the only man living OF the ten
who went into the prison with me.
There was at one time between thirty
in the prison. The inside stockade
contained fifteen acres. small plot
of five acres was added to it at later
date.
THE stockades were made Of logs
about twenty feet in length. The logs
were split into halves and sharpened
on the top ends A trench was dug
around the fifteen acre strip and the
d
ing out OF the ground about
fifteen or sixteen feet. Within
this stockade the officers drew
line known as the dead line about
hfteen feet from the stockade wall all
around the enclosure. The prisoners
were shot down if they attempted to
cross this line. At intervals of one
hundred feet along the stockade wall
small turrets with rough covers Were
built. for the guards
"At distance of four rods from the
inner stockade a second set OF timbers
was set up in the same manner. Be
yond this third stockade was built
around the second. The outer stock
ade was only about ten feet high. We
were not provided with shelter Of any
kind. Tie weather was quite cold at
times but VIC had TO endure 1t After
a rain our clothing would be thor
oughly soaked, but we dried il on our
backs.
'At the time we went into prison
there was considerable timber with
which to make fires as the prison was
built around strip OF timer We
had to work the wood up with knives
and any old piece of iron that we
could find. Before we left the prison
at the end of the term there could not
be found a piece OF wood the s'ze of
a toothpick within four feet of the top
CT the ground. The stumps were all
dug out Of the ground for fuel.
