Thede returns to Chicago this afternoon to live with his father, who is a

The following from the Beed City
Clarion, concerning a former leader of
Clare K. of P. band, will be read with
interest: Last Saturday night H. E.
Stickle, leader of the Beed City Cornet Band, was the most surprised man
in Beed City. He went to his home
on north Chestnut street at the usual
hour of about eight o'clock in the
evening, and retired to bed, when lie
happened to think that he had received
a new violin that day. so up he gets,
and in company with his daughter on
the piano, commenced testing its
merits in the parlor. Iu the meantime his good wife had quietly locked
them in the parlor, when all of a sudden the band struck up a familiar
tune in the kitchen. This was the
climax that drove Stickle nearly wild,
but he soon gathered himself on being
informed that it was all oh account
of his forty-se_ond birthday, that the
band boys and a number of his friends
had gathered to present him with a
line book case. After which refreshments were served, and a jolly good
time had by all,
Coleman, Jan. 3.—Quite an excitement was caused last Sunday at the
Boston store, owned by John Imerman
of Clare. Four sleighs were being
loaded with goods to moVe to Clare,
and as there was a tax of $187 against
the Arm, that had not been paid to
the treasurer, the citizens were strenuously opposed to the operation. In
a very few minutes a crowd of interested townsmen had gathered and
two lawyers were necessary to adjust
matters so that the moving could be
accomplished. The manager finally
put the money in the treasurer's hands
but the next day flled a protest and
the court will settle the case at its
next session.—Coleman news item.
Mr. Imerman objected to paying the
taxes on the ground that the stock of
goods was not in Coleman or in the
county until several weeks after the
time of assessment. Attorney C.
W, Perry has charge of the case, and
it looks as though he has by far the
best side of the argument.

it would be to your interest to

have our bakery warm in cold weather, so it is almost as easy to bake a
large batch of bread as a small one.
