f. w. King has rented his hotel to
Mrs. Ellen b. King, his wife, and VIM.
Evarts. Mr.. King, it seems, has no
taste for hotel business, having spent
most of his life upon farm. Mr.. Ev-
arts is we'll adapted to the position of
landlord, and has had almost entire
direction of matters as an employe for
some time past. With Mr.. Evarts as
landlord, and Mrs. King as hostess,
we predict success. Mr. King will
spend part of his time as boarder at
the hotel, and the other portion upon
his farm 5 miles west of Belding.

Esq. Pettee pronounces the financial
condition of this locality to be worthy
of comment A great many notes,
made payable at Pettee 4 Co.'S bank,
Belding, fell due along during the fall.
They were given for threshing ma
chimes, organs, sewing machines,
farm implements, fruit trees, orna-
mental shrubs, etc, and running from
small amounts up into high figures
He says in no instance has one of these
notes run over time, but were paid
when due-and better still, many of
them before due to save interest. A
few years ago farmers were content
to pay interest and continue the debt
The present state of things is happy
