beat it right out there to find out
what the dickens had landed out near
the cerneteries) we found out that
a party Of eight girls from one OF the
mills had started out to Aubills home
for party on one Of the young ladies
there and that when they neared the
cemeteries south Of the city, one OF
the girls, who wanted TO show how
brave she was, suggested that right
then would be a good time for few
good ghost storles-when 10 and be-
held, six ghostly figures were seen
TO rise up as if from the earth OF the
cemetery and advance swiftly toward
the eight girls. According to the in
formation which we received shortly
afterward, the fact that there were
eight girls against only SIX ghosts
made no difference, the eight took to
their heels and seven of them reached
their destination considerable ahead
of the time which they had calculat-
ed on.
One of the girls who got strayed
away from the other seven in their
rapid flight ran eft down in there by
the dump, the ghost following her all
the way and the girl, losing track Of
where she was going and seeing that
the ghost was gaining on her anyway

The father of certain young lady
over on the north. side told his daugh-

would have to sit down on him for it,
whereupon she answered that, she had
been doing that for some time back.

patch from Sycamore, Ca, says that
Mrs. Mark Lukes has given birth to
nine children in four years-triplets
in 1915, twins in 1917 and quadrup-
lets in 1919. Not blamed word
about Mr.. Lukes.
"Now," said one Of the teachers in

= FRANK w. DALTON


1t gives me great pleasure to en-
dorse the candidacy of Frank w. Dali
ton for the nomination, as commits
sioner of schools for the county of
Ionia at the coming primary,
Having been personally acquainted
with Mr.. Dalton when he was con-
nected with the Saranac schools and
having observed his work since his
appointment as school commissioner
of Ionia county, / do not hesitate in
recommending him to the voters of
Ionia county, as believe that he is a
most thorough and efficient public of
ficer and is in all ways qualified to
perform the duties pertaining to the
office of county school commissioner
At the time the vacancy in this of
fee was created by reason of the. res
ignation of Harvey H. Lowrey, it be-
camothe duty, under the laws of this
state, for the probate judge, the coun-
ty clerk and the prosecuting attorney
following. The board very carefully
ious candidates whose names were
presented and after giving the matter
a thorough investigation, unanimous
ly appointed Mr.. Dalton to fill this va
cancy, and as one of the members of
this board, II feel that the board made
no mistake in his selection, and that
the schools of Ionia county will profit
by having a man of his experience at
the head of our county school system.
Yurs very truly,

Prosecuting Attorney.

Bert Gregg has been teasing us
to say something about him in this
column for a couple of years back but
we never got good chance until
Bert, together with Glen Wortley and
Dick Wilson went out to Pine Island
lake fishing recently. = After they
had been fishing for time y game
and fish warden came along and just
about that time Bert fell into the lake.
Wilson and Wortley were in the act
of pulling Bert out when the limb of
the law came along. He became
suspicious when large number of
dead fish rose to the surface and
thinking that Bert had gone down in
the submarine act on purpose to plant
going to arrest him when Bert owned
that his falling into the lake was
purely accidental but that owing to
the fact that he had not washed his
feet for several years the fish could
not stand his company and died much
the same as if charge Of dynamite
had been let down amongst them. Of
course, we take this testimony from
sworn affidavit by Dick Wilson and
from the reports which came into the
city from farmers living near the
lake.
