Strauss, who owns shop on the
sixth floor of a building at 400 S.

Oscar F. Nelson, state factory in
spector, had had Strauss arraigned
for keeping the doors of his shops
locked in violation of the health, SAT-

Judge Flanagan read Section Is of
the act. "It says nothing about locks

puzzled air:
But it provides that all doors
must be constructed that they may
be easily and Immediately opened"

with Nelson, Isaacs, Reed and
Strauss. There Nelson pointed out
how dangerous it was to keep the
doors locked and how they were
locked when. he made his inspection.
The judge went back to his court
room and discharged Strauss.
"Judge FIanagan's rulings in this
and other cases practically nuIEifies
the health, safety and comfort and
garment acts" said Nelson. "If

way postal clerk whose run is between

that they would probably want some
assistance from the city.

VETERAN MERCHANT
AND POSTMASTER IS
GEORGE HOPPOUGH

The village OF Smyrna, Ionia conn
ty, differs from hundreds OF other viii
lagos Of it's class in but one particular
in being the dwelling place and
scene OF the lifelong activities of
George Hoppough, postmaster and
country merchant, who through long
service has attained the more or less
unique position Of being the dean of
all postmasters-M Michigan postmas-
ters at any rate. Mr.. Hoppough was
appointed postmaster during the sec
ond term OF President Grant, his COM
mission having been signed by John
A. Creswell, Postmaster General, and
is dated September 23, 1872. For over
forty years in and through ten admins
trations, three of them Democratic,
he has officiated as the custodian and
deliyerer OF the mails to the inhabi-
tants of smyrna and surrounding
country He came to this section a
youth and lively one-the kind we
call huStlers-and has taken an active
part, as good citizens should. in every
thing that would pertain 10 the ad-
vancement of the community in which
he dwelt. Time and the onward
march of general Improvement have
inevitably wrought their changes for
better or worse in the village and
they have left their marks on George.
His hair is grayer now and his man
ner more sedate, but his step is as
quick as Of old and with unfailing pre-
cision he has all these years dealt
out missives Of hope, disappointment,
love, courage, grief and cheer TO all
impartialiy. Does il not speak well
for the high estimation placed upon
him by his fellow townspeople that
the citizens of Smyrna have invariably
given whoever and whatever admin
istration was in power unmistakable
evidence that 1t could please the peo-
pie of Smyrna no better than by re-
tanning George Hoppough to serve
them as postmaster, and this without
regard TO political preference or pre-
judice? He is now in the junior seven
ties too old to be eligible under civil
service ruling and is therefore com
PEELED 10 retire.
Mr.. Hoppough can Justly point with
ing Lodge, No. 355, F. & a. M, being
charter member. Having belonged
over forty years he is now an honor
airy member.
Mr.. Hoopough can justly point with
pride TO the forty-two and One-half
years OF clean, honorable service as
postmaster he has recorded to his
credit. 1t is worthy of emulation.
Personally, Mr.. Hoppough is OF
medium height and weight, giving one
an impression of wiry. tough activity.
We all know him and We all like him
and we are sorry he is to go into
private Michigan Tradesman.

Stand on your head few minutes

1T is a fact that when a man IL

THE unusual rush OF the blood to

Others have suggested a twilight

G0-T0-CHURCH SUNDAY
AFFECTED BY SICKNESS

Last Sunday was Go-To-C Church
Sunday in Belding. All OF the churches
had good congregations. In the Con-
gregational church especially the
audience was swelled so that il was
necessary to place chairs in the aisles.
In the other churches the pews
were comfortably filed. At the Bap-
tist church in the evening service a
signal song was sung by the choir. The
stanZas OF the song were sung with
the lights OF the church turned on.
AS the chorus was sung the house
lights were turned off and the persons
singing in the choir flashed pocket
lights. The chorus was made up of
solos, and parts and the effect when
the members flashed the lights was
attractive and unique.
Many people being sick caused the
attendance at some OF the churches to
be lessened
