FRANKLIN HOISE

The above named hotel was erected
by S. S. Brown, now a resident of this
village. Mr.. Brown was born in Dunn
fries, Canada, in 1880. When twenty
years of age he came to this state and
settled in the township of Ronald, and
in 1855 he was united in marriage to
Miss Harriet NJ. TaIlman, daughter OF
Mr.. Jas. Tallman, who was one OF the
pioneers of this township. Mr.. Brown
was the first purchaser OF a village lot
in the present village of Bedding, which
was made in 1858. He purchased two
lots, paying for the same $50, and did
work on the Belding homestead, now
the bank building, to pay for the same.
The lots were located where the dwell
ings Of A. T.. Weter and A. G.. HUFF now
stand. Soon after the purchase he
erected the house now occupied by
Mr.. Weter, and settled in the place.
He was then confident that the natural
advantages of the location would not
always be overlooked. and that at
some future time a village would grow
up here. In 1862 he was appointed
Postmaster and held the position 10
years. He commenced the upright
portion Of the Franklin House in 1870,
and opened the house to the public
in the beginning Of 1871. In 1873 he
rented the hotel to Mr. Il. J. Rother-
lex for two years. After the eXpira-
ton of the first year, Mr.. Rotherick
rented TO Il. II. Jersey for one year
In 1876 J. b. Vincent rented the prem
Uses and occupied the same until
March, 1876, when Mr.. Brown trans
ferred the property TO the present pro-
prietor, Mr.. Frank w. King. Since
the purchase by Mr.. King he has en-
larged and greatly improved the ac-
commodations. A large wing has been
erected, the rooms have been re-fitted,
a public hall has been added, the barn
accommodation have been improved
and considerable enterprise has been
exhibited. The house is now one of
the best appointed and commodious
of any that can be found in any viii
lage the size of Belding. one thing is
worthy OF special mention; the Frank
lin House has always been and is a
temperance house. Under it's pre-
sent worthy and efficient management
IL should command the local patron
age OF the travelling public.

PRES. CRAWN GIVES
FRIDAY TALK FULL OF
GREAT INTEREST
CONTINUED from Page ID


Now for a few minutes l want to
look at this great class and have you
view with me the 100000 boys and
girls. who compose this mass and see
what we can do for these boys and
girls to fit them for the life work be-
fore them. First the schools should
turn out boys and girls with good
sound, physical bodies. These bodies
should be capable of housing clear
minds, intellectual minds, minds with
high morals and spiritual stamina
That is the real purpose OF athletics in
the school. Ii is to make the students
strong physically, make them inhale
the pure oxygen OF the air clear down
into the lowest cells of the lungs. Let
me say right here that school boards
should spend more money in fitting up
athletic fields and less money in equip
ping gymnasiums. What we need is
more out door exercise. The gymnas-
iums are all right occasionally but they
should not be encouraged 10 the eX-
clusion of outdoor sports.
Then you should all have good
sound stomachs. You should not put
anything into them that would damage
them in any way | have a good stom-
ach here that l have used for over
forty years, and it does its work per
