After receiving an honorable dis-charge he returned to his home in Michigan, and after a short season of rest he soured and graduated from the Dttrok Business college, af tas which he ooachided to enter the law profession and commenced the study of law with Slay tou A Perry iu Lowell, finishing with a course at the law de-partment at the Stale University at Ann Arbor.

had one of the best peach farms in Kent couuly; but fulling health neces-sitated his selling the homestead, since which time ho has waited from monthn to weeks, and weeks to days for the sunimons to a future home. Since selling his farm he resided in the vil-lage and bus braved four surgical ope-rations in his battle for life. All this time he has displayed great courage" and fortitude, without a murmur.

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson had no chil-dren and their fervent love and affec-tion was bestowed upon each other; and seldom have any two shown more affection fur each other than they.

Relatives and friends froui abroad who attended the funeral wore: Wm. Wright, wife and son, Owosso; Albert E. and Alice E. Gunn, brother-in law andsister of deceased, Shelby; C. W. Davidson and wife, Grand Rapids r William and Peter Eastman- Green-ville ; Hon. J. W. Hance and wife, Mt Pleasant. Cdntributed.

FQneral services were held at the Congregational church on. Thursday afternoon under the Masonic- auspices and conducted by Rev. Charles Fluhekof Grand Rapids. The church was crowded with the many friends of the bereaved family who listened ai-tentlvely to the beautiful service.

Mr. Fluhertouchiu^ly alluded to the military record of the deoeasad, and showed how the same eoorage. that had enabled him to face .the. cannon's mouth had foiyfcj >d' him tlttough life, and e n a b l e d ^ to bear patiently thfe sufferings uife.i) cldairig muntha-of His life. The larger faith that God create* and that each and every one is neces-sary to the completion-of His temple was also dwelt upon. Deeds, not words, acts, not belieis,.are important. "He lives most who thinks riiost aad ads the noblest and best"

A PLHASANT PAETT.

Wednatday afternoon, March 28r

at the pleasant home of.Dr. and Mrs.

McDsunell, quite a number of invited guests assembled. The hours passed (yiicUy. bj' in pleasant converse with dear familiar friend s; and though in-terrupted by an invitation to the din-iag room, I do not imagine that of-fense was given, judging by the ani-mated faces that gathered around the tebk, and (liligont attention that

given to- the dainty and elegant Mps t eerved by the charming hostess and her loviely daughters.

Among the guests we noticed Mrs. L P. Berkley, Mrs. B. J . Peck, Mrs. Chandler Johnaon, Mrs. C. P. Potu-r, H*a. P. Hunter,. Mn --^dmand I^e, Mfs. M. N. HineJ e f ^ M r s . J. M. Dodfe. .

A f t e r a sho r t investigation Baker agreed wi th t he local officers and a search of t h e rear room of t he b a n k brought f o r t h two bags of t he s tolen silver. Young Gregory was sum-moned to t h e bank and when con-f ronted wi th t he money confessed. The remainder of the money w a s found a t Gregory's home and $3,160.50 was re-covered—just five cents less t h a n t h e sum stolen. Gregory to ld how h e did t h e deed. H e bad contemplated i t since the Mowday before and on Thurs -day morning, jus t before Cashier New-kirk arr ived, carried o u t his plans. Af te r removing the money, he s t ruck h is head aga in s t the wai l of the vau l t and produced the bru ise where h e claimed he w a s s t ruck by the robbers. He then laid down and so successfully feigned unconsciousness t h a t he fooled Newkirk a n d a physician.

Every person in Dexter was great ly surprised over Gregory 's confession. If there w a s a n exemplary ^ o n n g m an in tho village, It ywas Gregory, w h o nei ther d r a n k , smoked nor had a n y vices. His p a r e n t s and father- in-law, Chas.

He told he r a l l t h a t h e remembered about the i r first mee t ing , and about hip encounter wi th Dick Ashland. Suddenly, a look of h o r r o r c r e p t over his features. He s t a r t ed up. as f rom a fearful d ream, and s t a red a t t he gir l who sa t in f ron t of him.

"My Godi" he exola imed, " i t ' s come back to mo! It's come back to roel It was David Maclane who mur-dered Dick Ashland, and who t r ied to murder me!"

Ho rose wr i th ing h i s a r m s In t h e air, and wi th s td r ing eyes , he re-treated a s t ep o r two.

••I can see him as if i t were now,1 ' ho a ided , in nervous rap id i ty . " I can seo h im in the m o o n l i g h t I am lying here, and Dick Ashland Is ly-ing the e ."

The hot t e a r s were s t r e a m i n g over his face. His b rea th heaved as if in suffocating a j o n y . and his hands quivo ed by h is side.

THE CITIZEN'S DUTY. The time for the selection of local

^officers is at hand, and every citizen has a doty to perform which he should not evade. That duty i» to aid in Ihe

•selection ofthe best men for the vari-ons positions in the gift of the people

•ofthe village and township. In considering a man's qaalification

for a local office, two things should not enter in, his religion and politics. These have no connection whatever with the execntion of official dudes.

All these candidates are oar friends and neighbors. We do business with them day after day. We call upon them in sickness and in trouble and they extend helping hands; and Ve rejoice every day that we are a com-manity of neighbors and friehfis, and the whole village ahd township of 'Lowell is simply a large family, liv-ing peaceably together; regardless of political or religious differences. Po' 3itical parties are useful and necesBary 'but their place is not in local elections

The L e d g e k has no a r to grind, •no master to serve nor any mud to •throw. It advocates a clean canVas, •devoid of personalities and conducted in good humor. Left tbe watchword be: "The right men in the right pla-•ces and politics be blanked." /

T h e r e is now pending in the house a constitutional amendment giving Ihe president the right to veto supa-TOte items in appropriation bills while 'approving others and the bill as 'a whole. Such a power in the presi-dent V hands would be a check on con-gressional extravagance and a bar to jobs, as wpll as a hindrance to success-ful log-rolling. Many have been the wasteful and wortfe appropriations of public money which have been loaded on bills in their late stages by a com-bination of lo^-rollen, who have each felt wife when their particular job was in the bill. The senate or house cou Id not stop to amenrl tbe bill, and the {president could no: veto it without .crippling the governmenx or delaying

impoVtant public works. This amend-ment would change all this tad leave all such jobs exposed to almost cer-tain detection and rejectioa by a eon scientious president—[Springfield Re-publican.

RESOLUTHMS. At a caucus of the Democrats of

Lowell township held March 24 the following resolutions were read and adopted:

Whereas, the Democratic party secured its present position through its promises of tariff reform in the direction of free trade;

And whereas, the people will surely hold that party respoasible for sins of omission as well as of commission;

And whereas certain so-called Democratic senators have practiced dilatory and obstructive tactics to de-feat the will ofthe people as expressed at the polls;

Therefore resolved by the Demo-crats of Lowell township that we de-nounce all those who have contributed to the delay in grantang tariff reform as Unworthy of the confidence and support of the Democratic party;

And resolved that we call upon our representatives in Congress to do all in their power to speedily make a law in harmony with the views expressed in the last national Democratic plat-f d™ ; . ; , . . . . . .

AodVcsolved that a copy o( these V&olutions be transmitted tb Cong-ress raah Rtchardsoa, and to the press for publication.

From the Corning, (N. Y.) Journal of March 16, we learn that Mrs. Anna Goodsell Sihith, an aunt of Dr. Good-sell of Lowell, celebrated her one-hundredth birthday on March 15, with a large party of friends. The Journal says:

"Her memory is excellent; she is herself a wonderful volume of history, having begun her life during Wash-ington's second terra, and living under every administration since. She re-members when Lafayette made his tour of tho country. The battles of New Orleans, Lake Erie, Lake Cham-plain and Lundy's Lane as well as the famous battle between the Chesapeake and the Shannon are to her matters memory.. So also the meteor-like career of Napoleon Bonaparte across the sea. She has outlived the stage

seh, thp wooden ""hip of the line " Blirepkoean^ t h e * ^

.and hSs Witnessed the improvements, from" tfielr dav to this."
