affliction, and will be very glad to
learn that she has successfully undergone the operation.
Our readers will remember that at
the last term of circuit court the
Fowler vs. Bracy case was decided in
favor of the latter and that the case
was carried to the supreme' court.
Arthur J. Lacy was attorney for Mr,
Fowler and appeared for the first time
before this august body which
modified the decision. When it is
considered that in the seven years
Judge Dodds has been in office he' has
bad reversed but four decisions, it is
certainly a mark of efficiency in Mr.
Lacy that this case was through his
efforts reversed.'
One of the tables at tbe Calkins is
known as the • "bachelor's table"
which until recently was occupied by
Supt. Philip A. Bennett, James Rox-
burg, Ray M. Howe, O. B. Wait, A. H.
Aldrich and E. G. Welch. It was
agreed not long ago that the first one
leaving for matrimonial reasons should
give the other other five and their
ladies a spread at the Calkins. Fortunately or unfortunately the wrltei is
obliged to put up the supper, and it is
to be this evening. A most pleasant
time is anticipated.
The old wooden building that
burned last Monday morning near tbe
union depot was one or the first houses
built in Clare. It was built in the
spring of 1871 by George Bowen who
operated a saw mill here for several
years. Dr. Davis, one of tbe oldest
residents In the city, Informs us that
it was in this house on the 15th of
September, 1871, chat the first sermon
was preached in Clare and that "was
by Rev. Louis J. Piper, a United
Brethren preacher. The house has
not been occupied as a residence for
some time and it is supposed that tbe
fire was unintentionally set by tramps.
Ye editor, accompanied by his better
half, spent Sunday at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Francisco four miles
south of Mt. Pleasant, enjoying a yery
pleasant visit. Mr. Francisco has a
200-acre farm, every acre of which,
except four acres woodland, being under a high state of cultivation. He
devotes the larger part of his time to
the raising of cattle and while there
he showed us a herd of forty-two steers
the finest by far we ever have seen.
They are two year olds and will average in weight 1000 pounds apiece. He
will soon deliver these cattle which
have been sold at $4,15 per 100, and
will then buy as many more yearlings
to fatten for sale next year.
J. H. Galliyer returned from his
New York trip Saturday evenine and
has naught but words of praise to offer
the Lehigh Valley railroad officials for
the magnificent trip afforded 162 of
the prominent railroad officials of over
fifty railroads, four of the party only
being from the entire Pere Marquette
system. At New York a boat was
chartered and the party taken, to the
interesting points near the city. The
train was composed of six sleepers and
two day Pullman cars, and the train
run on Black Diamond Express time.
Everything nossible for the enjoyment and comfort of tbe party was
provided, and at the entire expense of
the Lehigh Valley officials. None but
those who have gone on a similar trip
can appreciate the pleasure derlyed on
this occasion, and we certainly feel
proud that Mr. Galliyer was one of
the distinguished guests.
At a meeting of the Clare High
School Alumni Association at tbe
home of Miss Jennie Sexsmith last
evening it was decided to hold the
banquet at the Calkins immediately
following the commencement exercises, which will be held at the opera
house on the evening of June 20th or
21st, the exact evening to be decided
later. With the outgoing class this
year there have graduated from the
school forty-four people, forty-two of
whom are living, and the annual banquet is an event, to attend Which is no
small honor. The expense of the
spread will be be fifty cents a plate,
which will "be borne by the individual
attendants, besides a small assessment on the members of the association. Invitations will be issued in the
near future.^ At last evening's meet*
ing E. G. Welch was elected toast-
master.

Holbrook-Reeder.
Tuesday evening ao eight o'clock at
the home of the bride occured the marriage of Miss Millie Holbrook and Dr.
J. A. Reeder, Rev. M. Knowles of the
Congregational church officiating. It
was a very quiet wedding, only the
immediate relatives being present.
The bride has for years resided in
Clare and y& one of the most popular
ladies in the city. She was employed
as saleslady for Davy & Co. for two
years or more and for a long time was
the soprano in the Congregational
choir. She has a host of friends in
and about the city who will be glad
to know that'she will continue to reside here.
Dr. Reeder came to Clare about a
year ago,. and notwithstanding the
medical force here is large, he by close
attention to business and having been
very successful in many difficult surgical operations has won the Confidence of a large number of patrons
who have for him naught but the
highest words of praise.
Mr. and Mrs. Reeder start out with
bright prospects before them for a
happy wedded life, and that this may
be sols the wish of their manyfriend3,
among whom the Sentinel would be
numbered. For the present they will
live at the home of the bride, but as
soon as the doctor can secure a suitable residence they will commence
house keeping.
For Sale.
A   two-story house with 'kitchen,
Good weir in house.   Two good lots
and a variety of small fruit.

Senior Banquet.
The banquet given the juniors and
teachers by the seniors at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Welch last Friday
evening Was one of the most pleasant
affairs in connection with tbe closing
of the school year, The house was
decorated with the class colors, pale-
blue and yellow, the refreshments,
consisting of ice cream and cake, tbe
ice cream coming in bricks and representing the clas3 colors. A program
was rendered as follows: Vocal solo,
Miss Clara Bruske; piano solo, Miss
Laura Brown: recitation, Miss Agnes
Maloney; piano solo, Miss Pearl Dwyer.
Miss Bruske's voice never soun3ed
more charming and the instrumentals
were high class and well rendered and
Miss   Maloney   recited   exquisitely.
After the luncheon Miss Belle Ironmonger with most appropriate remarks introduced the toastmaster of
of the evening, Mr. Helon B. Allen,
who, though young in the business of
assigning toasts very gracefully acquitted himself on this occasion. ¥ Those
responding to toasts and the subjects
were as follows: School Days, Prof.
Philip A. Bennett; "Hext," Miss
Grace Thompson; Sweet Girl Graduate, E, G. Welch; Sweet Boy Graduate, Miss Marian Ford; Class of
"Naughty Naught", Miss Louie
Loiich. The responses in many instances called forth merriest laughter.
After the entire company—twenty,
two in all—had sang several college
gongs each repaired to bis home With
the satisfaction that comes from
having thoroughly enjoyed the
evening's entertainment.
