Missions read   a  beautifully   worded
A address after wbicb the   Rev.   Father
*      O'Connor presented   with   the   good
»   I wishes of the people a parse  of some
a> eigbt hundred dollars  as   an -expression of tbe high   appreciation   of  his
efforts in tbeir behalf.
Father McAllister, son of the late
:, Mr. and Mrs. Francis McAllister is a
product of Alpena and first saw the
7 light of day in chat city about forty
years agp. Educated in tbe schools
r of his own town and Montreal he,
after having filled pastorates in Grand
Rapide and Bay City came bere about
fourteen^years ago and with a few
montbssezception has labored in tbis
district witb marked success. Of a
gentle mien and disposition he soon
won favor for himself not only with
the people of his faith but tbe community at large and a host of citizens
and friends regret bis departure.
The appointment to St. Bernard
cornea as a recognition to the tireless
work of Father McAllister here. Tbe
parisn is one of tbe largest and influential in tbe diocese of Grand
Rapids and was tbe charge formerly
held by the late Rt. Rev. Monsignor
Flannery. Somewhat unysaal is the
nature of the appointment in clerical
circles since seldom or never does a
young priest be returned to tbe parish
of bis youth, and the Reverend Father McAllister is undoubtedly, one of i
the youngest men in the United
States to be promoted to so important a charge. Rev. Father McAllister is a man of scholarly attainment
and ability and it is with tbe best
wishes-for a successful service in bis
new field that we see bim leave this
locality.
A ' After the program Rev. Father Mc-
[y- - Allister while deeply affected by tbe
A~ -' evening, rose and thanked tbe good
§11; i people and extended to all  his  part-
P7    . iug Rood wishes and then   bade good-
y bye to bis congregation and missions
p        individuals.
I^y: a* delegates to tbe reception from
^Yv Clare and Harrison, where Father
5Y McAllister has labored. Messrs. Lawrence Jackson, Harry McKerring and
Michael Fanning came bringing with
tham their handsome Offerings to
swell tbe purse and show tbeir ap-
prscisuoii and love for the retiring:
priest. •' -. i-7 ■.

farewells and on those wbo witnessed
it baa left an impression that will not

and Peroberon horses, a stallion of
each, breed being kept on the farm
for service, and in Hereford cattle
for which the farm is now celebrated.
The.elder Sprunger was an importer
of Belgian horses for over 30 years,
but of course tbe war robbed the
country of all her horses and breeders must now depend on tbe borne
supply and of this there Is no lack.
~ Farmers in tbe vicinity ot the Brand
now have a fine opportunity to breed
some superior drafters.
Mayor's Announcement.
With the approach of 'Spring it is
hoped that you will make a special
effort for a . spring clean-up in the
City. Tbe piles of rubbish, tin cans
aod trash wbicb have accumulated
during tbe winter should be gathered
up and moved away, and every-, effort
made to lower tbe. death rate in our
community by removing the breeding
places - of disease germs. Cellars,
attics and back yards of private
houses and ~ stores, as well as the
alleys, should be tborongbly cleaned.
Civic pride demands this, as well as
good health, and tbe fact is tbat it is
good business. A ciean town is a
progressive town, and a progressive
town invites bu^inessl
I call (tbe suggestion . of the Cily-
Conncil) on tbe Chamber of Commerce, Womens Clubs, tbe boys and
girls of our schools and all other organizations to arouse public sentiment, and get vigorous action. The
Council will again tbis year gather all
rubbish piled on side of streets (except ashes) or where a team can get
same with little difficulty. —.
Yours very truly, -'■'"

must be reached as to the style of|

No steps bave been taken as yet so

will bring quite a little sum.
