"It snows and blows and stings your
nose—makes all creation shiver. It
bites your toes increases your woes
and free7.es up the river. The frost
nips all, both great and small, this
dismal dreary weather; it freezes type,
bursts the pipes, and vexes sore the
printer. So let her roll—we mean the
coal—it takes the cash, this winter;
now please be kind, make up your
mind aud settle with the Printer."
Coal was first discovered 700 years
ago, but it has remained under the
soil of Saginaw all these years for the
simple reason that until within a recent period the people of .Saginaw
have been too busy chasing pine trees
to pay any attention to the great
wealth under their feet. They have
at last become aware .f the possibilities, however, and are manifesting a
disposition to take advantage of it.
Several more local companies are said
to be in process of incubation for the
purpose of mining coal. And the coal

The Michigan Club, at Detroit, one
of the oldest Republican organiza-
ations in the west, have this year
made a new departure regarding their
State membership, in making the
membership dues (five dollars) include
a seat at the annual banquet, which
is always held on Washington's birthday. This should increase their membership throughout Micnigan largely,
as tbe banquet and speeches this year
promise to be the best ever giyen
by the club. Our county should have
a good representation on this occasion.
Must be that Clare is to have another new industry, as per the following
from the Mt Pleasant Democrat: 1.
rT. Conrad is just compleating a hub
Ik.. Hag machine and a "Rougher" for
a hub factory to he started at Clare.
The machine contains many improvements over any before built, and will
stand as a monument to Mr, Conrad's
ability as a machinist, But few institutions in the land can turn out as
good work. Mr, Conrad is not only a
thorough machinest, but has an inventive turn of mind which enables
him to surmount many obstacles in
the machinery line and add practical
parts which make them perfect.
The Y. P. S. C. E., of the Congregational church, have secured the services of Miss Lois Anna Secor, the
clever young elocutionist, in the
Grecian play, "Ingomar, the Barbarian," assisted by Clare's best musical
talent, for Friday eyening, Jan. 28.
Admission, 15 cents a ticket; two tickets for 25 cents. Tickets for sale at
Elden's store. "Ingomar, the Barbarian," is a play full of beauty and
power, intensely emotional at times,
yet a light vein of pure, comedy as an
undercurrent renders it "near to nature's heart." Deep filial love in the
heroine and native honor and truth
in the hero challenge for thorn honest
admiration.
