Dreamed of Locating Body

After the Preston boy drowned,
Mrs. Ed King was one of the people
who was near the dam while search
for the body was being made and she
told a number of people whom she
met of a dream which she had had
and which told her that the body
would not be found where the search
was being conducted but that instead
it would be found near the lower
bridge. Mrs. King persisted in the
idea but others said that there was
nothing to dreams of late years and
they laughed at the thought. How
ever when the body was found, it
was found just about where Mrs.
Kings dream had indicated Mrs.
King says that many times in her
life she has been forwarned of
things which were to happen through
having a dream which unfolded the
news to her in advance.

CHANCE TO RIVAL
ON|A IN THE REED
FURNITURE LINE
PEERLESS FERNERY co. MAKES
MODEST START. is PUT
TING OUT FINE WORK

Belding is the posessor of an in
dustry which, if fostered and petted
just trifle with little nourishing
patronage on the part of local peo-
pie buying the articles which the
new firm is manufacturing, bids fair
to grow into ian institution which
might some day rival the great
manufacturing plant which the Yp-
silanti people have erected at our
sister city of Ionia.
We speak of the Belding Fernery
Company, a company of men com
posed of A. N. Phillips of Grand
Rapids, l.. G.. Mowatt, H. L. Phil
lips and L. E. Haskins, of Ionia,
and they are all workers who have
several years of actual experience
to their credit. They have already
made lot of fern stands, center
tables, porch swings, bed steads. etc.
of the fiber stock and the articles
are really beautiful to behold.
The men are expecting to SAL
whatever of their output they can to
local people and the rest of it will
be shipped to other cities, several
orders having bene made up and
shipped to various places.
The concern has rented the large
workshop on the rear of the E. M.
Pa:ney lot and visit to the place
will show one what busy and
promising proposition it is.

'MASHERS' ARE
SCARCE ARTICLES
ON LONG WALK
NIGHTLY PATROLS FAIL TO
FIND EVIDENCE OF MODERN
GAY LATHARIOS

Those gay, young Lotharios who
were working at the art of MASKING
and trying to induce young ladies
and others to accompany them i nto
their waiting automobiles are fol-
lowing some other trade now at even
ings, so it seems to local officials
who have been watching the famous
old long walk since last week, when
three men were picked up for accost-
ing women on the streets. For, where
there used to be a bunch of young
fellows too numerous to mention, or
count, one can scarcely find pedes-
train on the walk after dark unless
it be those people who have TO pass
that way to and from their homes.
"Guess them fellows must have
got scared of Mayor Washburn's
threatened barrel-stave" said one ci-
tizen when he heard that the long
walk had taken on a deserted ap-
pearance of nights and that about
the only fellows who could be seen
up there were a few citizens going
home and Special Officer Cook as he
made his regular trips up there to see
that all is we'll, while carrying out
the mayors orders. what about the
girls ?" queried another citizen who
was standing nearby and then follow
ed conversation wherein it came
out that certain young ladies of this
city had also been warned that in
case they were found to be at
fault with any of the scandalous ac-
tions, that it might be necessary to
take few of them over and lock
them in the city Jail for few days
and let them think thet hing over a
little.
Perhaps this is why there are SC
few people up on the long walk and
why no new arrests have been made
since a week ago Sunday night.
Friday night, however, an attempt
was made by two young men in a
Ford to get two young girls who
were passing south on Bridge street
near the Bricker Hotel to get into
an automobile with them. The young
girls became frightened and started
to run and by the time Officer Cook
got there the Ford had sped away
and the parties in it had escaped ar
rest.
Just the same, John Whitlock, fol
whom a warrant was sworn out, has
not been apprehended and the opin'
ion is held by many local people that
he is right in Ionia and that in case
the officers wanted him, they could
get him within five minutes time
What, those interested in this clean
ing up process would like to know is
why isn't Whitlock brought into court
if the above allegation is true?

Belding Men Run Busses

The writer took the local bus to
Grand Rapids on short business
trip Thursday and when he arrived
at the auto interurban station to
come back home the busses for the
various routes were drawn up in
front of the depot which the bus op-
orators maintain for the convenience
of their patrons. We looked the
bunch of drivers over and it looked
like as if Belding men had strangle
hold on the bus business. Out of
the five buses there, three were
owned and operated by Belding men,
Ernest Leach and Ellsworth jerks
running between Hastings and Grand
Rapids over different routes and
Frank Belding of the local route be-
ing also there together with Orley
Emmons who had been driving as an
extra for several days last week.
Mr.. jerks is making a good thing
out of the bus business, his convey
ance being crowded as a rule when
coming in and returning. Mr.. Leach
has just recently started up and
while things are coming his way,
the customers apparently are not so
plentiful on his route as yet, but
conditions are fast improving. The
local busses were well loaded with
passengers.

Make War On Dances

Over at Portland the reformers
have got busy and in petition sign
ed by more than 100 people have
asked the village commission to make
an investigation of the dances, card
playing places, ETC.. which appa--
entity flourish there. 1t is claimed
that the young folk shimmy alto
gethA. too much for the good of
the town and that in addition to
shimmying they also pull off some
other shockingly immodest and i'm
moral twists while displaying their
terpsichorean talents. To all this the
commissioners plead total ignorance
an d have set date in the near fu-
ture when the complaining petition
ers can appear before their honorable
BODY and tell all about the horrible
actions of the wayward young folks.
In addition to this the petitioners are
also asked to bring along their rem
ddies for cod Getting such an evil,
should it be found to exist. The pc
titioners also state that from all ap-
pearances there is considerable rum
running going on, judging from some
of the tracks certain citizens OF
Portland made as they wend their
way slowly, laboriously and uncer-
tainly homeward after the dances.
OF course, there are always two
sides to every stocy and there are
those who claim that the gaits which
some of the citizens display while
attempting to get back to the family
fireside are entirely natural and not
the result of head and legs being
befuddled with too much hootch.
There are others who pardon their
woobly brothers and sisters by stat
ing that it is the result of a little
too much hard cider being brought in
by some hospitable farmer from out
side the corporate limits of the viii
lagn.

MONDAY WAS
A BUSY DAY IN
JUSTICE COURT
LEGAL SKIRMISHES RESULT IN
CASES BEING ADJOURNED
TO LATER DATES

To the person who happened to no.
tice the crowd of people who were
waiting for proceedings to open in
their cases or as spectators, Monday
in Judge Lapham's court, the i'm
D .'ession would be that here must
have been a world of trouble and
disagreement between local folks
during the past few weeks for there
were three cases on call fo- Monday
morning and the principals, their
lawyers and the spectators were all
on hand waiting TO. developments.
The first case called was that of
the people against Wilbur Wood in
which the latter was charged with
assault and battery, charge pre-
fe.red against him by Miss Ella
Lehman. Ii was rumored that the
case was going to be thrown out of
court but instead it was adjourned
Prosecuting Attorney Gemuend, of
Ionia, for Miss Lehman and the peo-
pie, will bring the case to trial, pro-
vided the condition of Mr.. Wood. who
was seriously injured in an automo-
bile accident Monday, shortly after
his case was adjourned. will warrant
his appea ring in court.
Anothe. case which was called and
adjourned was a civil action between
George Hubbard and Guy Wright,
in which the former is seek
ing to collect a balance of $50 which
he claims Wright has failed to pay
on a land contract which the parties
had entered into about year ago.
Hubbard had purchased the j. c.
Zerba house in the Millard addition
from Mr.. Zerba and then sold the
contract to Wright for $100, half
of which has been paid and the 9TH
e. half of which he has brought ac-
tion to collect. Wright denies this
and says that he owes Hubbard moth
ing. Fred Warner is Mr.. Hubbard's s
attorney and Martin V. Cook, of
Greenville, is the legal talent engag-
ed by Mr.. Wright to present his side
the case. They will try it out
Friday, May 9Th.
A third case which came up and
was likewise adjourned was another
civil action between Joe Cranmer and
Fred Rickert. Cranme- is the own
er of farm west of the city and it
is claimed that he entered into an
agreement with Rickert whereby the
latter was to work the place. After
a time Rickert and Cranmer settled
and the latte. claims that there is
a balance of something like SIS or
500 coming his way and that he is
unable to get it any other way than
by legal procedure and the suit is
for that purpose. Fred L. Warne.
is acting as Cranmer's attorney
while Mr. Ricke.t, who denies owing
Cranmer anything, has engaged Mr..
Harry H. Gemuend, of Ionia, to look
after his interests. The case will
be brought to tial on Wednesday,
MAY II.

PLAY Was a Success

The play given by the Daughters
of Veterans at tn G. A. R. hall
last Friday evening, April 29th, en-
titled "The Sweet Family" was a
decided success and was played to
a well filled hall All who took part
in the play are desc wing of clmpli-
ments on the way they performed
their parts. Mrs. Swee could be es-
pecially mentioned, as she introduc--
ed each one of her accomplished
daughters in an able manner and
also electrocuted the city choir very
nicely. He- youngest daughter
Gloriana- ad-about interrupted her
several times with one of her gig
giles.

Friendship Club Met

One of the most interesting meet
ings of the Friendship Club. was
held last Thursday, when every one
Of the 81 members of the Club was
present. In the forenoon the enter
tainment commitetee put on progress
sive pedro, nearly all taking part and
enjoying the games until the call
came for dinner, then all went to the
dining room and did ample justice to
most elegant dinner of chicken pie
and all the good things that go with
such a dinner. After dinner all re-
turned to the upper hall and enjoy
ed an hour of social visit, then the
president called the company to or
der and after transacting the busi-
ness meeting turned the chair over
t the entertainment committee,
which had prepared a short program
consisting first of violin and piano
music by Frank Davis and Nellie
Norton, reading by Josie Kohn, reci-
tation by Cora Davis, fancy dance by
Marjory Hoppough, reading by Liz
zie Davis, dialogue by Josie Kohn
and Nellie Norton, and the last num-
Der which was thoroughly enjoyed
by all was the drawing of slips by
each member, each slip read as they
were numbered one was telling where
you were, one what you were doing,
and one who YOU were with. This
afforded a great deal of sport. The
Club voted to hold their annual pic
mic at Bostwick lake the first Thurs
day in August, which we hope will
be as we'll attended as the May meet

Killed Big Blue Racer

While Arba Face, carrier on rural
route No. a was making his trip on
Saturday he came across big snake
attempting to get across the road
and up a rather steep bank at the
side of the road. Mr.. Face stopped
his car and secured a couple of good
sized rocks, with which, with well
directed and accurate aim, he soon
dispatched the representative of his
satanic majesty. The snake meas
ured nearly six feet in length and in
order to have folks believe the story
which he told relative to the killing
of the serpent, Mr.. Face brought it
in and showed it as evidence. Mr..
Face killed the reptile near the old
Chase farm, south of town, near the
same spot where he had killed an
other big one last year.
