Church of God in this city for some
time past, has resigned the work in
Clare and vicinity to accept a call to
the 1st Congregational church of i'ar-
well.
Judging from remarks dropped occasionally, we believe that a majority
of the citizens of both Clare and Harrison would prefer to have thc Harrison train run as under the old schedule,
instead of up at night and down in the
morning.

Thc news that Spain had yesterday

down from your porch and replaced without damaging them,
but later in the season this cannot be done so well. A coat of

One Reason For War.
Of all the questions of the day
About the pending war with Spain,
The horrors pictured day by day,
The base destruction, of the Maine,
And all such things—I cannot see
Just what the'faults or merits are;
Bub Cuba should, I vow, be ime
Because it grows the best cigar!
O country of the weed sublime!
I send you cheer across the wave—
At last, at last has come the time
To cud the fetters of the slave!
E'en ehould your sins be scarlet, yet
Undimmed for aye should be your star
And freedom shall be yours, you bet,
Because you grow toe best cigar! *
Yes, Cuba grows the best cigar, and
they're manufactured for wholesale
and retail trade, at Clare, by W. P.
Lewis, one door south of the post office.

Of childless kings and earls;       *
And now as ever while lovers love
. 'Tis the time of heartless girls I
