Don't fail to hear Mr. McClure's

is well versed as to the needs to the
schools of our state. The admission
fee has been placed at 10c and because
of this none need be kept away.

The eyening service at the Congregational church was largely attended

uniqueness of the entertainment was
due largely to the efforts of Misses
Maude Rhoades and Fthel Elden.
In answer to the inquiry of a tax
payer recently published in the
Sentinel, our aontemporary attempts to answer the query but as he
has done so, not to the satisfaction of
the inquirer, we are asked to say that
an itemized aecount of the moneys
spent last year in street inprovements
will be greatly appreciated. In that
Editor Canned has volunteered to answer the question, we take it for
granted that be will be only too glad
to give the itemized statement asked
for.
Our citizens will regret to learn of
the death of H. N. Goodenowrf Holly,
which occured Tuesday morning. Mr.
Goodenow was for many years a resident of Clare, was a veteran in the
civil war, and at the time of his death
had reached the ripe age of eighty-two
years. He leaves, beside bis wife,
two sons and five daughters. Mrs. C,
!N. Goodenow left on the morning train
yesterday for Holly to attend the funeral and will return Saturday. Thus
it is that the men who fought so valiantly for our rights and liberties are
falling from the ranks one by one.
Young man: one thing is certain:
You must pay for your whistle in this
world. Everything has its compensations. Extreme joy is followed by a
season of the heart rending penance.
Sorrow and pain enables us to appreciate small blessings. Life is made up
of sunshine and clouds; of calm and
storm. Eyery pleasure has a sting at
the bottom of it and he who makes an
effort to rifle life of its sweets will end
in despair or suicide. Pain follows iu
the wake of pleasure as a shadow.
Amid the roses fierce repentance rears
its snaky crest. Therefore: my son go
not in the pursuit of phantoms lest
you be torn to pieces by sirens of passion. Seek not pleasure in a beer mug;
nor happiness in the tents of the
wicked.   Be virtuous and saw wood.
The Star Lecture Course opened as
auspiciously on Saturday evening as
its most ardent promoters and managers could possibly desire. More than
the required number of season tickets
had been disposed of, and had the
traveling been good many single
tickets would have been sold. Although the lecturer, De Witt Miller,
was a stranger to a Bradford audience,
he had not gotten very far into his
topic, "The Uses of Ugliness," before
he enjoyed the intimate attention of
all who were so fortunate as to be
listeners, and held them with his al
most matchless oratory, philosophy
and wit to the close, occupying over
an hour and a hal t. To say that Bradford surrendered completely to his remarkable talent as a lecturer would
be no exaggeration, and the wish is expressed on every hand that he may be
engaged to again lecture here in the
not remote future.—United Opinion,
Bradford, Ft. At Opera house, April
23,
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. McWatty of
Harrison were in the city this morning by their way to Gilmore where to,
morrow they attend the funeral of her
grandfather, Prince Bobbins, who was
killed in his mill near McBain Wednesday,
Mrs. Abigail Bauder, aged eighty-
seven years, died at the home of her
son, Robert* near Leaton on the 16th
inst. She was the mother of Wm. and
David Bauder of this place. The funeral sermon was preached at theM. E.
church in Leaton and the remains
were intered in the cemetry southwest
of Rosebush.
We are this week sending out statements to all subscriber* whose subscription has expired, or who are in
arrears. We do this for several reasons, the principle one ot which Is
that we want money. Never before
have we been gently approached on
the subject of Easter millinery, and
we are just commencing to realize
something of the expenses of running
a household,—all of which rapidly consume the profit on subscriptions—then;
too. many people, because of not haying their attention called to the fact
tihat their subscription has expired,
let accounts run till they become
larger than they wish to pay, We
bavethe largest circulation in the
countv by far and while we wish to
continue to lead in this particular we
are not so over zealous to do so that
we will carry several hundred people
.who have little'or no intention to pay
for our time and trouble. The Sentinel is $1 per year in advance; $1,25
when not so paid, but we prefer payment in advance. It you receive- a
statement, please call and settle at
once and thus save us further trouble.
We are aware that the country correspondent department 'of a local
newspaper is read by more people
doubtless than any other department,
and so it is that we have endeavored
to get as good reporters for this work
as we possibly could—and right here
we wish to say that we fully appreciate the efforts that have been made by
our worthy corps of correspondents—
but our attention has been called to
the fact that items creep into the
columns occasionally which are indeed
the meerest mention. We would suggest that our reporters give more attention to improvements in your respective districts. It is a fact that
the great majority of people enjoy
picking up a local paper and reading
an article regarding some achievment
he himself has made, though we are
also aware that he is not usually willing to admit this. This is a suggestion which we trust our reporters will
take in tbe same kindly spirit in
which it is offered. Giye us the news
and giye us all the news, We realize
the fact as we presume all do, that we
retain the censorship on all matter
coming in for publication, yet we feel
that it is more satisfactory to you and
to us to have an understanding regarding this matter, so that when
you write an item for publication you
are tolerably sure it will not be rejected.

New Brick Block.
The work of excayation for the
Doherty-Duncan block basement was
commenced Tuesday, ten to twelve
teams working constantly, and this
morning everything is in readiness for
the laying of a foundation, The Contract for doing the brick and stone
work has been let to Granger and
Manley of Mt. Pleasant, who will commence the work in the near future.
The building will be two stories high
and will consist of six store fronts
The entire frontage is 130 feet and
runs back seventy feet. Mr. Doherty
will have the four fronts to the north
and the others will doubtless be occupied by Mr. Duncan. Already most of
the rooms are rented.
This block will be an excellent addition to our city and will tend to increase the valuation of the other prop-
erty.in that block. We feel sure the
citizens appreciate the efforts of these
gentlemen to beautify our city, especially Mr.^Doherty, who has been tbe
prime mover in nearly every movement that has placed our city where
it is today,—-to him we owe the opera
house, the electric light plant, the
Bell telephone, several fine residences,
and it is largely through "his efforts
that we have the fine school building
that we have. He has ever been on
the alert to make Clare a thriving
town.
