Loving Tribute To ]. Willard Howe
J. Willard Howe parsed 10 higher
life Friday morning, September ~,
1919 at the residence Of Ernest Chick
ering, of Orleans, at the age Of 50
the 10th day of November. l went
to the house Of my friend and the
great white silence was there: They
said to me 'he Is gone, he Is dead. l
found him not in the human form that
had been his instrument Of thought
and work but Oh joy Of joys, l found
him in the incense and bloom of the
flowers he loved SO well in the sway
ing palms in the silvery fountain in
every room of his habitation and in
the inermost heart Of me, said "he
is gone, he is not dead, but set Free"
The passing Of our beloved friend
leaves another large space to be filled
with loving memories and with his
more palpable spirit presence. Our
arisen brother was in many ways an
exceptional man, to think of him as
gone or dead. He is even nearer than
before as are all of the arisen loved
ones. If their Borrowing ones
but knew that he be missed in the
homes CT his accustomed friends.
May those in the homes now prevailed
by the. sence of absence find comfort
in the way they most need. May his
friends realize his presence in the
more complete and perfect knowledge
of the spirit and may we all rejoice
with him in the grand reunion with
his loved ones and companions over
there. We do not say farewell but
all hail beloved friend in the new and
more perfect life.
Mrs. Clark. Graves.

Local Man Gets One More Chance
The Ionia Sentinel Standard has the
following to say regarding George
Hilton, former local man in its issue
of Saturday, September 20.
George Hilton arrested in May on
charge Of wife desertion and put on
probation, broke his probation and
was taken recently in Grand Rapids
on complaint of his wife. She is a
hard working woman, who has en-
deavored by her own labor to help
him pay his fine, but he preferred to
squander all the money he could get
his hands on. The terms Of proba-
ton We're that he should not leave
the county without permission, he
was to pay the costs of $40 and sup
port his wife and child. was to have
nothing to do with other women and
must report here once a month. All
of these provisions he seems to have
broken cheerfully and readily. He
was working in Grand Rapids where
he had gone without the knowledge
of the officers here, and was not pay
ing the amounts prescribed and was
writing to another woman, under an
assumed name. The court was in
clined to be severe with him, but his
wife pleaded for another chance fol-
him, which the court granted. The
conditions are made little more
stringent, he is not to leave the city
without permission, he is to pay So
a week until all back payments are
completed, and to pay all expenses
incurred in bringing him back tc
Ion;a. The officers have felt fol
some time that they have been toe
lenient with these breakers of pro.
baton and are resolved to be les:
easy on them hereafter and this il
the first case to be followed up,
though it may not be the last.
