bhe success and prosperity of Clare and
norbhern Isabella county farmers is
certainly assured.

All will remember the troubles ot J.
S. -toss, who purchased bhel3bhbicket>-
for bhab Buffalo excursion, as recorded
in bhis paper. Well, ib hasn'b turned
oub so bad afber all, as June has received bhe S6 deposited on his wheel, also
$2.79 for the exbra mileage he was
obliged bo use because of missing bhe
train, and last but nob leasb, $8 as pay

Tbe members of bhe Pem-e-saw club
should note that when bbey contem-
plabe making a brip hereafter to bhe
Cranberry lake club house they will
have to go up on the morning train
and back on bhe afbernoon train.
These are now the only trains bhab will
sbop ab tbe club, The company is
obliged to make this ruling because
the other trains have to make close
connecblons ab juncbion points and
cannob afford to lose t.be time lost in
making bhe special stop.
Red-haired people have been made
bhe subject of'many jokes from bime
withoub limit, but the following shows
where tbe red-haired people get even.
The Medical Record says: It is a curious facb bhab red-haired people are far
less npb to become bald bhan those
wtiua- birsube cov_riug is pf another
hue/ A curious calculation has been
made, to the effect thab the hairs on
the head of a fair-haired person, if
they could be plaited together, would
susbain a weight of something like
eighby tons, equaling that of five hundred people." Shades of the white
horse, that is humiliating, ^r
Wibhoub excepbfon bhere is not a
town, big or libbie, in the state of
Michigan, where goods can be bought
so cheaply as in Clare. We are fortunate indeed, in having among our
business men those who are progressive, up-to-?date and reliable, The extent ofthe business done by our merchants reaches bhab magnitude that
enables them to pay cash for the goods
which they buy and as a consequence
they buy for less money and easily undersell the little buyers of smaller
towns. A .careful perusal each week
of our advertising columns will bear
out this statement, and will be the
means of saving you many dollars.
Among the Inber-Laken items in
last week's issue was one relative to a
sugar beet. That causes a farmer Hying near Clare to readjust his spectacles and pull three, haphazard like, and
bring them id. The combined weight
of the three is 12 pounds, two of the
number tipping tbe scales at 9 pounds
and 14 oz. or an average weight of 4
pounds. The beets were grown on Sec.
7, Wise township, and were brought to
this office by W. J, Jennings. Before
being brought here they were well
washed and topped, just as they should
be prepared for shipment to the factory. That Mt. Pleasant man will
haye to come again before he takes
the persimmon.
Yesterday afternoon A. Van Brunt
brought to this office three as line and
handsome peaches as ever turned a*
blushing cheek to be kissed by old Sol
or was eyer picked from a tree, This
particular tree came up from a stone
that was thrown out of the house
which accounts for the name of the
variety being unknown.' .This goes to
show that peacheS'-as well as all other
fruits—can be successfully raised in
this county. In speaking of tbe peach
production Mr. VanBruqt signiQcanb-
ly remarked, "What is bhe use of shipping in three or four hundred bushels
of peaches each year when as good, if
"nob better ones, can be raised In our
own counby?" True enough, why?
The whys and wherefores could be
demonstrabed by our farmers bo their
pecuniary advantage if they only
would.   Will they?
Olare people who are sometimes surprised at the length of the freight
trains on the F, & P. M, and Ann Arbor railroads, will be interested in the
makeup of what is said to be the largest freight train ever moved over iiny
road on bhe globe, which recently ran
oyer the Pennsylvania railroad. It
was made up of one hundred and thirty cars of Amboy coal, which made a
train 3,877 feet in length, a trifle less
than bhree-quarters of a mile. The
bobal weight of bhe train behind bhe
bender of tbe engine was 5,212 bons, of
which3,G93 tons was the weight of the
coal. A single engiue hauled bhe enormous string of cars. This locomobive,
which is conceded to be bhe largesb in
the world, weighs about one hundred
and eighteen tons, and has demonsbra-
ted its title to be the strongest machine on wheels in the world.
The law restricting bicyclists frora
using the Main street side walk between Obh street and bhe railroad and
•certain sidesbreebs while children are
"on their way to and from school,, is being violated by some cyclists of the
city. Just a few days ago a lady
sbepped from a place of business on
Main screeb and by the time she reached the walk was run into by a wheelman, knocked over and severely injured and has nob yeb recovered from
bhe injuries there received. Bicycles
are vehicles and have no right to any
side walk, bub when permission is
kindly granbed by our city giving bhe
riders the benettb of using almosb all
of bhe walks, bbey certainly should nob
wanbto abuse tbat privilege by monopolizing every walk of the city. In justice to a majority of tbe wheelmen we
will say that no one deplores more
than they bhe fact that some cyclists
do not appreciate tbe privilege which
is granted them.
Tbedemo-peo-uno-silvo any-old-thing
to-get-bhere convention for the Wexford represenbative disbricb was held
in Doherby opera house, this ciby, yesterday. The convention was enbibled
to 28 delegates bub only seven or eight
were presenb—a couple from Missaukee counby, bhe balance from Clare.
Wexford nob being represented at all.
Tlie farmers doubbless stayed home bo
harvesb abundanb crops ab good old
bime prices. A genbleman from Missaukee whose name we did nob learn,
was chairman. E. Wilson of Harrison
was secrebary. In his speechlet bhe
chairman accounted for bhe lackof enthusiasm among the silverites because
of the magnificent majority which republicans roll up in this district. Id
substance he further said that inasmuch as they hadn't any issues left
that the best thing to do would be to
go oub on a sbill hunb for votes this
fall and nob try to win on issues. A.
R. Canfleld and Dr. Maynard were appointed a committee on resolubions
and after an adjournment of five minutes, Ray produced a ready-made set
from his pistol pocket and read therefrom a few stereobyped phrases about
the terrible republican party. After
the organization had been completed
the naming of candidates was next in
order. And now was the house filled,
(by A, Ray's sonorous voice as he nominated Sam'l A. Wilson.) No other
name being presented Mr. Wilson was
eventually declared the nominee. A
Committee was then appointed to hunt
up the victim. On coming before tlie
august convention Mr, Wilson said he
was pleased, of course, because of the
honor, bub that he was not in position
then to say whebher he could consent
to make the run or not owing to his
time being largely baken up wibh -business affairs. Hut Mr. Wilsou will-
probably oe induced to make the run
as ib would be a hard mabter to find
anobherone to consenb to the sacrifice.
