Marshall refuses to accept a residence for which the state pays the rent, and announces that he will pay his own house rent Inasmuch as he will pay it out of his salary, which the state pays, it looks like there would be no crime in letting the state pay it, since that provision is made by law. The dignity of the office of governor should be maintained, and the provision for a residence was made with that purpose in view, and it would be as reasonable to turn part or all of his salary back into the treasury as it would to insist on paying his rent which the laws of the state contemplated paying.

He will ! move his household goods to Big ’ Rapids, Mich., next week, shipping them from Mt. Ayr. Mr. Hammond will go through with the goods. Mrs. Hammond and the children will wait until the latter part of next week before starting for their new home. Roe their oldest son, is a member of the senior class in the Rensselaer high school, and will remain here until after his graduation next May. Mr. Hammond and family will reside in Big Rapids, where he bought property, and he will super vise the work on his farm, which is only a mile and a half from that place. Mr. Hammond and family are one of our most highly respected families and their decision to remove from this county will be generally regretted, but their friends will wish for them both success and happiness in their new home.
