The six dentists in this city have is
sued cards announcing the fact that
their offices will be closed on Satur-
days at noon from the first day of Nav
until the first day of October. This
is good thing as there is no other
profession an which the men are work
ed any longer hours, or who are more
willing to serve the people than are
the dentists. Grand Rapids is fortu-
nate IN having such excellent dentists
IN their midst, who are ever ready to
serve. They will be better fit to serve
the people with a half day rest and
holiday.
Henry Webb, widower, the we'll
known stone mason, who has made his
home with Henry Halvorsen, on Sec
ond street south, has sold his I'll acre
farm to party from Grand Marsh.
Wis. The farm is a part of what was
formerly the village of Barnum, where
the saw mill was located, which was
burned in 1876, in the town of Rome.

er. Mr.. Webb has owned and occup-
/ led this farm during the past 80 wears.

ployed at Port Edwards.
Clarence Hamilton, father of James
u. Hamilton, of Third street south.
the brick dealer and Insurance man. is
Just back from Pensacola, Florida,
where he has been the past two Years.
Mr.. Herbert Hamilton, a brother died
there the past month at the age of II
years. The Hamilton family have
been residents of Grand Rapids since
1860, and some members of the fam
lily have been here ever since. Mr..
Hamilton has always been a radical
democrat, but his stay in the south
the past two years has cured him of
his democracy. He says that Wiscon-
SIN Is good enough for him and that
}he IS as good state as there is in
She Union.
Frank Ticknor of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad and we'll
known fisherman of this city wants to
know why the Grand Rapids Fish and
lame Club, organized here last year
by prominent people, have not secur-
ed the usual number Of cans of brook
trout frye and fngerlings and planted
in our many nearby trout streams?
For the past twenty-five years or more
individual sportsmen have planted
from so to 100 cans of frye in our
streams at their own expense. Since
the advent of automobiles, trout fish
ing is not sc good as it was formerly,
