OF THOROUGHFARE ii

The Two Johns are finishing. the
work on the Main street sidewalks
this Wednesday morning. The last
places to receive the dress of new
walk are in front of III. j. Connell's,
Dan Skellenger's and Sparks.
When the rubbish is cleared away
Belding will have one of the prettiest,
if not actually the very incest look
ing main street of any city in Michi-
gan. The walks are all finished to
the curb line, and are built to con-
form with the grade Of the business
blocks. The lights at night are the
most .up-to-date available and the
pavement is kept almost scrupulous-
ly clean by Mr.. Peterson. Not a
traveller visits Belding, but admires
her beautiful streets and well kept
lawns.
Following the completion of the
work on Main street the Two Johns
have contracts for a lare amount of
concrete work all through the city.
They are consistent advertisers in
the Banner.

VOICE TEACHER HAS
SUCCESS IN BELDING

Mrs. Ada L. Harrington of Grand
Rapids, who opened rooms in the
home of Mrs. +. +. Cook for teaching
voice and breathing development in
forms the Banner that following her
announcement in the issue of a week
ago she has enrolled good sized
classes both in Belding and Smyrna.
In fact she is contemplating an in
creased enrolment until it will re-
quire two days a week for her to
handle the work.
Mrs. Harrington asserts there is
much latent musical talent in Beld-
ing. She hopes that an organization
may grow out of the work, looking
to a fuller development and under
standing of vocal music here. Music
and singing are one of the best
known tonics for the human body and
it is hoped enough interest will be
shown to perfect some organization
to further the art here.

N. A. C. TO OFFER
CAPSULE COURSE
FOR FARM YOUTHS
SHORT TERM TO RUN 80 WEEKS;
WILL OPEN COLLEGE ON
OCTOBER 29

A "boiled down" course in agri-
culture, in which the usual four
years work will be whitfield down TO
thirty-two weeks, WILL be offered at
the ganAgricultural college on
October 29 for the benefit of farm
boys of the state. In the short
course the cream of the four-year
term, embodying the more or less
directly practical elements of the col
lege work, will be given. the attend
ing students. -
The time for the abbreviated term
has been so arranged by M. A. c. that
it will give boys from the country a
chance tor drop into East Lansing
when they can best be spared from
the farm. Thus the thirty-two weeks
course will cover a period of two
yearc, the first ten weeks work to be
given between October 29sa and March
l of the coming winter (1917-1918),
and the second sixteen weeks to be
at the same time in 1918-1919,, so that
men starting on October -29. this year
will be graduated, at the end of Febr-
uary 1919, though all told they will
be required to. spend only thirty-two
weeks in East Lansing.
Young men who woulds1ike to know
more about the capsule" scourse
have been asked to write to the presi-
dent of the college, in East Lansing.

HIGH TEAM.
DROPPED OPENING
GAME TO G. R. BOYS
LOCAL BOYS WERE OUTCLASS-
ED IN WEIGHT. SHOWED GRIT
AND DETERMINATION

Belding high schol football team
took a decisive defeat at the hands
Of south high school of Grand Rapids
at Romona Athletic park last Sat-
urday afternoon. The Grand Rapids
huskies ran up score of seventy
four points on the local team. The
score, however, does not tell how
gamely the boys from Belding fought,
for they certainly showed that al
though they avere otitweighed about
twenty pounds to the man, they were
not willing that their opponents
should have an easy time.
1t 'can be safely said that the sheer
weight of the Grand Rapids boys was
the determining factor in the defeat
of Belding. The local boys might
have cut the score in half had they
punted once or twice on the last
down. Belongs scrappy line held
their big opponents twice for downs
and a number of times tackled their
men for losses. The local bunch put
up game fight every minute, and
are deserving of a whole lot of credit.
1t gave the boys a world of expert
ence, and after next Saturdays game
with Grand Rapids Union High
school, the remainder of the schedule
should prove easy picking for the
locals. Score by quarters:

B. S. BIGLEY LIVED
ON FARM SIXTY YEARS

B. S. Bigley was in the city Tues
day from his farm on r. +. ID. No. 2,
with his son, w. G. Bigley. They
came in their automobile which is
a vastly different manner of travel
ing over the roads from what it was
when Mr.. Bigley first settled here.
Mr.. Bigley, who is in his eighty
ninth year, came here fifty-nine years
ago from Auburn, New York, and
settled on the farm where he now
resides. 1t was purchased of Ma
thaniel Coon and has been the home
of Mr.. Bigley ever since.
His wife, who was his loyal help
mate in the pioneer days, and who
with her husband experienced the
rough and smooth days of early life
in new country, passed away sever
al years ago and has gone to the re-
ward of noble woman.
Mr.. Bigley is in fairly good health
and enjoying the downhill side Of life
very comfortably. In his early boy
hood days he had a sad experience
The farm home of his parents in
New York state burned one night in
the winter. He and his little broth
er, William, were sleeping together
The father and mother hurriedly
awoke the children and rushed out
doors. Mrs. Bigley soon noticed
however, that William was not out OF
,the building, and the father went
back after him, and the two were
burned to death.
The late Abner Wright, father of
p. G. Wright, was neighbor of the
Bigleys and was present at the fire
Mr.. Bigley has two sons, w. G.
Bigley, with whom he lives, and
Ralph Bigley, of Keene.

STICKING UP GROUNDS
AT THE P. M. DEPOT

There has been some Sticking up
this week at the Pere Marquette
depot grounds, and it is whispered
that it may possibly be the forerun-
ner of the long talked of new depot.
A large pile Of unsightly stones and
several rubbish heaps have been re-
moved by the section men on orders
from headquarters. Alfred Dormar,
the baggageman, and all around
hustler, has beenN"doing his bit" in
the way of making it easy and more
convenient to approach the depot in
bad weather by filling in chuck holes.
Everybody will rejoice because of
the cleanup and live in eager antici-
patton of new building.

RIVER RIDGE CEMETERY WILL
HAVE BUILDING FOR TOOLS
AND REST
BELDING BROS. & co.
ASK FOR NEW SIDEWALK
Council May Buy Gravel Pit For Use
of City. Price Asked Is $1,000
Fifteen Year Limit

Belding Bros. & Co. petitioned the
common council at its last meeting
for walk along the west end of the
company's property at Mill No. 2.
The present walk along the east side
of Bridge street ends at the north
side of the mill. The company is
asking for this walk to be extended
to the railroad tracks, a distance of
about one hundred feet.
The council allowed the petition
and the walk will be constructed soon.
r. H. Waldo petitioned for the
privilege of building garage on the
rear of the lot where his store is To-
Gated. The petition was referred to
the proper committee.
Ernest Shawley was awarded the
contract of building a new tool house
and waiting room at the River Ridge
cemetery. The building is to be fif-
teen by twenty-six feet in size with
a nine-foot cave. The floor will be
of concrete and the sidewalks of con-
crete blocks.
The job was let for $440. 1t will
be completed before winter.
A resolution was presented where
by the council may buy a gravel pit
of Henry Luck. The deal has not
been consummated yet, but will prob
ably be completed this week.
The city has been buying gravel
for street work every year and large
share of it has been coming from the
Luck pit. Mr.. Luck made a PROPOSE
tion to the city to sell the entire
gravel vein for one thousand dollars
After considering it the city conclud-
ed to make the purchase, paying two
hundred dollars each year for the
four succeeding years with interest
at six per cent. The city, according
to the resolution, would be allowed
fifteen years to remove the gravel al
which time the ground and all unre.
moved portions Of the gravel would
revert to Luck or his heirs.
The resolution was prepared along
this line, but the papers have not as
yet been signed.
