Rev. Addis Albro, pastor of tbe Ml.
Pleasanb M. E. church, and C. B. Kin-
yon of the Ann Arbor homeopathic
hospital, were recent guests at the
bome of J. H. Seeley and wife of Vernon. During the.r stay they were
fishing at Stevenson lake. Mr. Albro
and J. H. were school mates in Hunt-
ersland, N. Y., thirty-five years ago
and last fall t hey "met for bbe first
time, in twenty-six years. The host
and hostess showed their guests every
hospitality th ir comfortable bome
affords, and their visit was indeed a
pleasant one.
A remarkable family reunion is on
at the pleasanb and spacious home of
E. W. Allen in Wise township this
week. Mr. Allen has three sisters now
with him and this week is the flrst
time in thirty years they have all been
together. Mrs. K. D. Cotherell of Fort
Wayne, Pa., is seventy-eight years old;
Mrs. G. Herrick of Delta, Ohio, is
seventy-six years old; and Mrs. E.
Graham of Warsaw, Indiana, is seventy-two years of age. The ladies are
all widows, and the entire, family enjoy good health. Mr. Allen did not
tell us his age but as he is the youbg-
est of the family we judge him to be
old enough to make the combined age
of the four 296 years.
The old soldiers and young soldiers
of this coun ty are making great preparations to attend the reunion at
Clare September 12-15. It is desired
to take a cavalry company of 100 men,
a large number of whom are already secured and are drilling weekly. All are
requested to join this company
whether soldiers or not. The cavalry
and artillery will leave Midland Monday, Sept. 11, and will proceed to
Ooleman, where they will go IntDcamp.
From Coleman the boys will march to
Clare and take that village by storm
early Tuesday morniug. The only
charge that will be made will be 25c.
which entitles each one bo rations for
the entire four days. Half fare on all
railroads.—Midland Sun.
This ii'.em to be read by boys only.
The writer several years ago before the
Ann Arbor railroad was put thru Clare
and the passenger depot was where
the F. & P. M. freight depot is now,
found himself lying on the ends of the
ties close to the rail up near what is
now Lister's saw mill, and as he looked
up could see the passenger coaches
passing over him. Every night eight
or ten boys caught on to the train and
rod'e up—just to see which could go
farthest. After this particular nigbb
he never caught on to another train.
Every day we see boys at the depot
jumping on an off trains. Of course,
boys, it's none of our business, bub if
a word of warning will perchance save
a leg, an arm, or a life, that word is
well spoken.
Owing to the fact that the writer was
unexoectedly called out of town the
latter part of last week and was detained until after the Sentinel went
to press, many items were omitted
that would otherwise have been
Inserted. It Is our intention to leave
no item of interest unmentioned, and
shall be glad for suggestions and items
which will contribute to make this
paper spicy, newsy, and worthy the
liberal patronage It Is receiving. We
are triad to note a constant, healthy,
rapid growth In our subscription list,
and from the fact that the Sentinel
never did more advertising thru the
summer months, wo are sure the business men are aware that, even tbo our
rates are higher than those of some
publishers, they get their money's
worth by placing ads. with us. We
presume to. Say that four thousand
people read the Sentinel weekly.

GftMP FRIEDEBORN
"MORE FUN THAN IN '97,"   EVERYONE IS COMING.
Every   Preparation   Being   Made
for a Large Time Next
Week.
In honor of Charles Friedeborn, tbe
last member of W. S. Hancock Post,
G. A. R., to pass to the great beyond
since the reunion in 1897, the camp of
the reunion of 1899 deriyed its name,
and it is well named.
The tents are being pitched as we
go to press, and every arrangement
made for bhe comfort and entertainment of the host of guests which are
coming next week.
There will doubtless be a line of
booths extending from the camp
ground to tbe Calkins house. Arches
will be erected at the intersection of
several streets with Main stieet and
the city will present^ an inviting appearance.
Let every citizen decorate with
bunting anil may the stars and strifes
float thruout the entire encampment,
Lay formality aside and turn in and
make this one of the most pleasant
outings our guests ever enjoyed.
BLUE VS. RED.
The East and West Side Business
Men Cross Bats and Play an
Interesting Game.
For years it has been the custom
here for tbe east side business men to
play a game of ball with the business
men of the west side, and this year
was not an exception, as Monday, the
reds (west side) got out their best
timber, donned in every conceivable
style of dress, with big red banr-anas
around their necks, and tbe blues
(east side) lined up in a similar manner, Capt. F, B. Doherty in the lead
With a.white tile. A band composed
of ball players was hastily Organized
with Mayor Mussel! in tbe lead with
his characteristic '-toot! toot!" and
Editor Canfleld pounding the bass
drum at regular intervals.
The players on the east side were:
J. H^ Wilson, 3b; A. B. Canfleld. If;
E, G. Welch, rf; A. J. Lacy, ss; Dr.
G. E. Lamb, lb; J. R. Goodman, 2b*--
F. H, Ballinger, c; R. J. Willoughbyr-
cf; F. B. Doherty, p. Several changes
were made in positions aud after the
second Innings F. E. Doherty took the
place of F. H, Ballinger.
On the west side: J. A. Reeder, 3b,*\
Dr. Culbert, 2b; W. T. Davies, p; 0..
H. VanBrunt, c; R. M. Mussell. lb: ■.
T. S. Dorsey, 3b; A. E. Mulder, If; J..
W. Harris, cf; Frank Falk, If. Some*
changes in position were also made on,.-,
this side.
Space prevents our giving „errorsy
suffice it to say, at the end of tbe first
inning, the score stood 14 to i In favor
of the reds, and at the end of tbe 7 th.
—Old Sol going"down prevented playing the entire nine Innings—ib was"3ft.
to 31 in favor of the west side.
Everybody seemed to enjoy tbe-*
game and the gate receipts were some
$1,8, which applies on to the reunion,
fund* But there are eighteen about-
as sore fellows as ever struck the town,,
notwithstanding the abundant use of
the excellent pain killer—Mussell's-
bone liniment. We are informed that
a game is on after the reunion between,
the clerks of the eas-t and west sides.--
