Calkins recently.       ,
Now is tbe time for citizens to arrange for elaborate decorations during
reunion. Every store, dwelling and
public building should be decorated
with the national colors. Tell your
merchant bow much you want how
that he may have ample time to provide for you.
Tbe new banner which was awarded
to tbe Midland TJ. R. K, of P. in 1897,
but whioh was not at that time presented, has recently been procured and
it is a fine piece. Our people will soon
formally present tbe banner, after
which we will not be asha'med to
look our neighboring citizens squarely
in the face.
It is presumable to say that never
before in the history of the city of
Olare were the sidewalks generally in
so poor condition, and it is gratifying
to pedestrians and publio spirited citizens to know that a general repairing
has commenced. Next to good newspapers, well kept sidewalks speak volumes for a town, ' ,
"A Sod o' Turf" is a simple sketch
of tbe Irish peasant's every-day life.
To none will it appeal more than to
him who is already familiar with the
pleasures and sorrows of these people,
of their life in a land where the lep-
rehaun and banshee take a hand in
the guiding of their fate, and where
bhey reckon bheir days from bbe ""Sear
o' bhe Short Oabs" and the "Night o'
bhe Big Win'," From bis own word
we assume bhab Mr. Gillaphlnn is now
residing in the far West, but he has
grown up among the scenes so charmingly described.
Judging from the letters daily received asking for quarters, and also
from various citizens in neighboring
towns the abtendance at the coming
reunion will be more than twice as
large as that of two years ago. One
fellow writes that there won't be,
enough people left in his town to care
for it. And the committee in charce
are making ample preparations for all
who wish boabtend. An ample supply Of tents has been engaged, the
Shepherd band secured, and daily
arrangements are being made which
insure a good time.
One day this week we were shown
by R. M, Mussell a specimen of the
much talked of so-called kissing bug.
He procured it in northern Indiana
whileion his recent vacation. The
bug is of a dark green color and about
twice the size of a large ant. By the
use of a microscope its structure can
be easily studied an_ is highly interesting. Ib is armed with a stinger of
abnormal length in proportion to its
size and poisoness liquid injected by
means of this lanee-sbaped instrument is very painful and in some cases
has proven fatal. Clare has not yet
been infested with tbis particular
type of kissing bugs, but it is said
they are working this way.
All Detroit and a great portion of
Michigan are interested just now in
the industrial"exposition and street
carnival to be giyen by Detroit lodge
No. 34, Benevolent Protective Order
of .Elks, commencing on Monday, August 21, and lasting until Saturday,
September 2. Special arrangements
have been made to take care of out-of-
town visitors and reduced rates secured from the railroads for large
parties. The beautiful D. A, 0. park
on Woodward Avenue, within ten
minutes ride of "the center of bhe ciby.
has been secured by the mangers for
headquarters. A large force of men
is now being employed there preparing for what will undoubtedly be the
largest and finest affair of the kind
ever given in the west.
We took a drive Tuesday witb D. E.
Alward thru the country north of
Clare and not having visited that section for some time were surprised to
note the improvement thab has been
made. The road straight north of
Olare has for five miles been stumped
and is now in fairly good condition,
and on either side of the road are fine
farms where once, seemingly only yesterday, Clarence Van" Brunt, Tess
Loucb, Jesse Bigley, Henry Gardiner,
Percy Loucb, Albert Maynard, Ard
Mclntyre,'Art Stevens, and others of
the native Clare boys chased the rabbit and shot at tbe squirrel—tbe whole
section being almost a dense wilderness. The sturdy settlers have driven
the forest before them and have established homes which are a credit to any
community. We stopped at the farm
of Joseph Hudson and found him with
sleeves rolled tip at work making more
improvements to his already beautiful place. This week he is cementing
the cellar under his house and is also
cementing the entire basement of his
large barn which is second to few if
any in the state.
In the very near future the welcome
sound of tbe school bell will be heard
all over our land, and as tbis time
draws nigh, prepartions are being
made'that the boys and girls may pursue another year's work. The decisions
made between now and the first of September will tell thru the ages. There
may be some boys naturally bright who
allow a false pride to influence them to
continue their summer job at from 40c
to 75c per day that they may "keep
up appearances," have better clothes,
take in the fairs, etc,, thus ending
their school career; may such bury the
pride that tempts them, and stick to
the school. Others may be kept from
school because of that pride which
tells them their clothes aren't good
enough: to Such we would point you
to bhe example of Garfield. A poor
boy driving mules on a bow-path, that
his widowed, mother may have support;
a state senabor; a member of Congress;
and his crowning work, attending the
duties of the highest governmental
position. Why did he not continue on
the canal? He had the courage to
stand out against the jests and scoffs
constantly hurled at him by his fellow
assbciabes and do as he believed he
Ought, even tho poorly clothed and
poorly fed. On his -own resources he
wenb thru college, and when on the
day of his graduation he stood in the
presence of that vast audience, little
did he think that in coming years he
would be crowned with the .Nation's
highest honor. His entire success lay
in that be had the right incentive
backed by an indomitable will. The
day now is when a man wibhoub an
ordinary educabion is working at a
great disadvantage. This is also a,
bime when any boy Or girl who haa
pluck, push and oatience, can gain an
education.' Do you want an educabion?
Are you willing to work for it?

Byrne-Lamb.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Seemann, 319 South Weadock avenue,
was the scene of a very pretty and
happy wedding yesterday afternoon.
The contracting parties were Miss
Madge Byrne, of Langtry, Texas, and
Dr. Gerald Lamb, of Clare, Mich.
At 2 o'clock as the Mendelssohn
wedding march was played by Miss
Sophie Moll, the bridal party entered
and took their positions in the bay
window, -which was tasbilv decorabed
wibh smilax, palms and carnations.
A ioyer's knot of pink and white carnations was suspended over the heads
of the bride and groom. Rev, W. H,
Gallagher, of St, Paul's Episcopal
cburch, performed the ceremony,
using the full service with two rings.
The bride was gowned in Swiss mull
and .carried a shower bouquet of white
sweet peas and maiden hair ferns.
She was attended by Miss Christine
Schossow, of Detroit, and Frederick
Schossow, of Detroit, was best man,
The bridesmaid's gown was of rose
organdie over white silk. She carried
pink sweet peas. Miss Maisie Lamb,
the groom's youngest sister, acted as
ring bearer. She was dressed in white
silk. The ceremory-was witnessed by
about 50 of the nearest relatives and.
friends and was followed by a reception which was more largely attended.
Charles H, Peters Jr„ and John H.
Besse were the ushers.
For the reception the residence was
appropriately decorated with palms,
ferns, pink and white. carnntionS and
roses. Miss An tied Peters'presided at
the punch bowl and the Misses Alyina
Bierwaltes, Elsie Mertz and Fran-
cisca Peters assisted in serving.
Dr. and Mrs. Lamb took an afternoon train for Clare, where the groom
is engaged in the practice of medicine.
His prospects are the brightest. The
bride has been attending the public
schools of this city for several years
and while here has made her home with
Mr, and Mrs. Seemann. She is a
charming young lady and has the best
wishes of a host of friends. Among
those from obher cities who attended
the wedding were: Edward Byrne,
father of the bride, of Langbry, Texas;
Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Lamb, ot Detroit,
parents of the groom: Mr. and Mrs.
Herbert Lamb, also of Detroit; Mrs.
Michael Bvrne and Miss Myrtle Baldwin, of Bay City, and Miss Mabel
Smedley, of Flushing.—Saginaw Evening News, Augusb 9.
Tho in Clare bub a Short time, Dr.
Lamb is bhoroly establishing himself
as a physician and the citizens unite
with the Sentixel in welcoming tbe
docbor and his amiable wife to our
city. We are informed they will soon
take up their residence on east Fifth
sbreeb.  .
