Thtre hat never been a time in the
history of Belding when so favorable an
opportunity presented itself for people to
buy a good building on the North side as
now.
Property in Belding is booming and the
crying need is for houses to live in.
Wm. F. Sandell has known this fact for
some time and has kept his eye open for a
chance to make some arrangement with
lot owners whereby he could offer big in
ducements for people to buy a lot for in
vestment or on which to build a house.
WM. F. SANDELL
Recently he has had placed in his hands
23 lots on the North side for sale at" such
a low figure that whoever is thinking
about purchasing will be wise if they im
mediately apply to him before the best are
taken.
The north side is fast becoming a busy,
hustling part of the city and property
there will be a good thing to possess
See Sandell about it.
FOR BETTER FISHING
Jmrlplf of Isaac Walton In fielding
i Look to That end.
Last Friday morning there arrived in
this city 7,000,000 wall eyed pike for di
triHution jn the lakes in this vicinity, in the
hopes of perpetuating the excellent fishing
that has always prevailed around here.
Charles Wise took 250.000 to Big Wa
basislake. Dr. Pinkham 250.000 to Musk
rat lake and ex-Mayor Bricker planted
200,000 in Long lake to provide good
fishing in the years to come at his popu
lar summer resort
With the rapid increase in population
the fine fishing points in this vicinity are
becoming scarce and the planting of fish
in these lakes is surely a move In the right
direction. By the aid of the Michigan
.fish commissioners it would appear that
the future will be as bright as the
past
for the disciples of Isaac Walton.

M. E. LECTURE COURSE
Central Me'hodlut Church Have Con
tracted for Out.
Although the lecture course which our
Methodist friends favored our city with
last fall and winter did not prove a suc
cess to tnem in a financial way, yet
they did not lose money and had the sat
isfaction of knowing that the course was

ments which are said to be superior to
the other and are guaranteed attractions.

begin in November.
The first in the course is the Temple
Quartette Concert company, an excellent

They are sleeping on the hillside,
They are sleeping in the vale,
But their memories still are with us
And forever must prevail,
'For the heroes who did battle
In the day of long ago.
Still are heroes though they're sleeping
Neath the green sward far below.
On Wednesday next, the hearts of
great and thankful people, from east to
west and from north to south, will throb
and beat in tender memories of the great
and mighty host, the flower of our land.
who leaving loved ones behind, and think
ling only or their beloved country,
marched to the blood stained fields or the
sunny south, to maintain intact the grand
heritage left us by the brave and fearless
ancestors of a century ago. The story
of their sufferings, their privations, their
hardships, is ever fresh in the minds of
our people, and fitting indeed is the trib

In accordance with the time honored
custom, the memorial services for the
soldier dead will begin on Sunday next,

the Bridge street bridge where, after a
short program, they will scatter the sweet
flowers of springtime upon the fast fleet

BANKRUPTCY COURT
Creditors of Otto Kulm Met There
Last Week.
On Wednesday of last week, the credi
tors of Otto J. Kuhn met in the bank
ruptcy court in Grand Rapids and made
their showing of the amount of indebted
ness which they held against Mr. Kuhn.
Mr. Kuhn was present and was repre
sented by an attorney.
After listening to the case, referee,
Kirk Wicks allowed the creditors to elect
Wm, Wilson of this city trustee, with in
structions to dispose of the stock which
inventories at $10,000 at private sale
within 15 days, or to report the same to
Mr. Wicks on June 6th. If Mr. Wilson
finds himself unable to sell the stock at
private sale, it will then be sold at auc
tion to the highest bidder.
There appears to be an indebtedness of
$23,000 with only $10,000 to meet the
same, and it looks as though the creditors
would fare rather poorly in the settle
ment of the matter.

BOUGHT THE PATENT
W. 11. nation, of the Itallou ItaMkct
Works, Buys Deiuorest Mixer.
A deal has been consummated this
week, by virtue of which W. D. Ballou,
manager or the ballou Basket Work?
becomes sole owner and possessor of the
Demorest Cement Mker, a machine
which has already galnsd an almost na
tional reputation.
Just at the present we can truly say
that we are living in the cement age, and
Mr. Demorest's mixing machine is one of
products of the age. For some time past
Mr. Demorest has been trying to cope
with the demands for his machine by
making them in a shop in the rear of his
flats, but nhe demands for the machines
far ontgrown hit meager capacity,
that it was necessary to broaden out.
Several tenders have been made him for
the manufacture of the machine, one of
them offering a $50,000 corporation at
Lansing, but having the best Interests of
is home town at heart, he has refused
all offers from abroad, and has made the
deal with Mr. Ballou, by which he re
ceives a substantial royalty on every ma
chine made without haying anything to do
in the production oi the machines.
The Banner is pleased to learn that
this rapidly growing enterprise has been
landed for the home city, and can see
bright prospects in store for the best
cement mixer on earth.
