LIGHTNING DOES
ITS FIRST QUEER
FRANKS OF YEAR
RIPS LARGE TREE TO KINDLING
WOOD. MOVES LARGE BOULD-
Err AND STUNS MEN

Lightning, which is usually credit
ed with some queer pranks during
the course of the seasons of the year
in which it is liable to visit the earth
with its inconceivable speed and force
got in its first stroke of business.
Wednesday night about 10:45 o'clock
when q lcne bolt, unhearlded and un-
announced by any previous rumblings
of distant thunder paid this section
-of the country visit
The bolt struck a large oak tree
near the residence of Emory Chick
ering and literally tore it all to shreds
the pieces of wood being as small as
pipe stem in the main, with a few
pieces as large as a mans arm or
leg. In> addition to this it struck
large boulder lying near the tree
Clipped part of it off and threw the
heavy weight a distance of IL yards
seemingly as easy as if it had been
but a pebble 1t also tore the planks
which nearby spring had been curb
ed with. out of the ground and scat
tered them around as if it were a
foolish piece of work to put them in
there in the first place.
Quite a number of people visited
the scene of this freak work Of light
ming and all pronounced it marvellous
that tree could be so finely splinter
ed to pieces as was this one. The
leaves which had already come out
looked as if someone had poured
scalding hot water on them for a
time
Here in the city a party of the
musicians who had been playing in
and attending the Furniture City
Band performance at the opera house
were standing on the street at the
time and the shock was so great that
they were unable to be around much
the next day. None of them. how
ever sustained any serious effects
other than the above.
There was but one crash and it
came with out any previous warnings
of a thunderstorm such as distant
rumblings of flashes Of light in the
distance
A remarkable thing was that there
was no lightning or thunder storms
visited Belding last year. On other
wears we have had our share a plenty
but in 1918 we got through without
hard electric or thunder storm.

BALL PLAYING
OUGHT TO Be A
WEEKLY EVENT
SEEMS AS If GOOD LOCAL VI
CINITY LEAGUE COULD
BE ORGANIZED SOON

The suggestion made by Byron
Brown. secretary of the Board Of
Commerce at the annual meeting5
last Thursday evening relative to the
organization of Base Ball team.
brought to mind memories of by gone
days in Belding when ball playing
by local teams was one cf the sport
and amusements looked forward to
from week to week by our citizens
as one of the special features OF
life in the city
The good old times of base ball
days of twenty years ago still fingers
as bright and happy spot on mem
ory's page.
Now that the World War has end
ed and the boys are back from the
front it would seem that one after
noon in the week might be given
over for amusement with base ball
playing as the central attraction.
The time was but few years ago
when teams from Grattan, Moseley
Smyrna. Orleans, Lowell Ionia and
Greenville contested for honors on
the Belding diamond and Ellis Park
drew large crowds until that location
was vacated for the city ball grounds
and later to the Leonard Park which
is now popular place of amusement.
Every one who was present will re-
member the big games and the hot
games and the tame ones which home
team played on these grounds in the
past. There is nc question nor rea-
son why the organization of a team
in the city could not be effected. The
material is here in shop. factory.
high school and among the business
men to make good strong one wait
ing to be rounded up and backed up
by the support of our citizens. Un-
'ioubtedly a league could be formed
with the outside towns named and a
schedule of games listed for the
coming season.
DR.. Pentcn. of Smyrna. the base
ball enthusiast cf that burg and who
was one Of the loval boosters of the
Smyrna team in its balmy days says
he would like 70 see the sport re-
vived and teams organized for a
season schedule of games to be play
ed on the Square deal" system.
He saws he remembers we'll when
the Beldinp boys would run in pro-
fessional players on VISITING teams

DANCES
WILL Be CHARITY
BALL FEATURES
BUY TICKET TO HELP LO-
CAL HOSPITAL WHETHER
YOU DANCE OR NOT

The board of Lady managers of
the local hospital are planning for
an unusually interesting feature at
the coming Charity Ball which they
will give for the benefit of the in
stitution at Hubbell hall on Thursday
May 20, by way of program cf fancy
dances in addition to the regular ter
pischorean activities which will be
indulged in and afforc enjoyment for
the people who will be at the ball
that evening.
The fancy dances will be given
by the Misses Velma and Selma Little
and by their pupils. Robert and Louise
Wilson and the little Misses Marion
Cusser and Dorothy Brown. The
Misses Little have on many occasions
appeared before good large audiences
and delighted them with their 1.-the
and graceful actions and the other
and younger people named have also
given exhibitions Of their skill in this
art and each time they have appeared
their audiences have been highly
pleased with the cleverness of the
youthful dancers. The names of the
dances which they will give will be
puDliSflcd III thio pdPCl hcAe WSSh'
The grand march will start at
900 o'clock sharp and from present
indications things look as if the ball
will be a bigger affair than ever and
is hoped that a record attendance
will be had.
1t makes but little difference whe-
ther you dance or whether you be-
lieve in dancing or not. back of the
Charity Ball lies the fundamental
and humanitarian principle of the in
stitution for the benefit of which the
ball is being held and ycu can do
your part by purchasing a ticket and
helping to make the 'affair a big
thing financially with your money
if not also socially with your pres
ence and this fact will be greatly ap-
preciated.
No one knows at what time they
or some of their friends will be taken
to the hospital and if one has given
little boost to the charitable affairs
which are held from time to time to
finance the institution it can be held
to be in helping a worthy cause. Get
your ticket for the ball even if you
don't 90.

BElD|NG BOYS TO
Be IN COUNTY
SEAT SATURDAY
MAI. BURKE WITH as OF IONA
COUNTY MEN OF RED AR
ROW DIVISION THERE

Just before going to press we are
in receipt of a telephone . call from
Ionia to the effect that on Saturday
May "a. Major William II. Burke and
AZ Ionia county men of the 126th
"Red Arrow" division will be in Ionia
and that the people down at the caun-
ty seat are making great plans to
give the men a grand reception when
they get there. We were asked to
give the affair publicity at this end
and see to,it that as many local peo-
pie as could make the trip would be
there to take part in the demonstra-
ton. which we are informed, will be
at 10 o'clock in the morning.
We are also of the opinion from the
information which we were given
that the men will be demobilized at
Ionia. although this seems out of
variance with the policy of the army
officials in demcbilizing all men at
Camp Custer contonment but inasmuch
as that old Co. f. of the 126th Inf.
was made up of men from this place
and other places all over the county
and was recruited and mustered into
the service at Ionia, it may be that
the talk of the boys being demobiliz-
ed and going to their homes from
there is true.
Many Belding boys will be among
the 48 which will reach Ionia with
Major Burke and it should be one
day when all the relatives and friends
of those gallant young men from this
city and vicinity should be there tc
give them. reception which they will
always remember. There will 'uu-
doubtedly be some effort put forth
by some local people to get UP q
bunch of autos to go down and as
many as can possibly do so, ought tc

Ram ACROSS Ancient Writing

While rummaging among some of
his papers the other day, Major Frank
r Chase came arross an old letter
which his father had written to his
mother some time before they were
married. The dating on the letter
was ninety years ago and the writing
was as legible and plain as if it had
been written less than cne-tenth that
long. The writing was done with an
old fashioned quill pen which the
Majors father. like every one else in
those days, had made himself. The
hand which wrote the message was
that of penman of none other than
one who was possessed extraorddin-
arily developed talent in this art and
it's quality was far above that of the
writing of the everage writer of to-
day.

p. Heatherington, the other member
of the board is also valuable to the

to say that it will become more and
more valuable and popular each suc-

the secretary and new member on

be found to be the right man in the
right place as time goes on.
