Some people are so anxious to avoid
paying the home merchant a legitimate margin that they believe any
fairy tale told them by slick toogued
frauds who are entire strangers to
them. Ninety-nine out of a. hundred
of these "'soft snaps" are swindles. Examine the columns of Tub Sentinel
for reliable dealers.
The state board of education has decided to make an important concession
to students who are without funds.
At a meeting last Saturday the board
resoived to admit to the Central Normal school at Mt. Pleasant, without
tuition, all persons who will agree .to
teach in the rural schools of the state
for one yesr after graduating.
A maiden from the city tripped
lightly raid the trees and sniffed the
pungent odor that floated on the breeze
"O, tell me, ancient farmer, with arms
so brown and bare, wjiat is the wondrous flower that scents the morning
air?" Loud lau-jhed the ancient farmer till the tears rolled down his cheeks,
"Why, bless me that's a polecat; I've
smelt it for a week." ' *
It is estimated that not more *than
2,0Q0,deer were killed in the upper peninsula this season, which is 1,000 less
than last year. Lack of snow was tbe
cause of the hunters' poor luck, as
there were more hunters in the wiods
than ever before. The number of licenses issued is estimated at 10,000,
evenly divided between the two peninsulas.
T:wo weeks ago Saturday night some
sneak-thief soole three pairs of rubbers
from in front of Baumgatth Bros.'
store, value $6.25. Again last Saturday night the thief appeared just
about 6. o'clock and coolly removed a
$12.50 overcoat from one of the dum-
mys in front of the same store. Baum-
garthBios. have a pretty good clue
and the thief may soon be paying the
penalty.
Thus sayeth the Lansing Republican : "The village dads of Clare recently passed a cast-iron ordinance
against transient peddlers and all
kinds of itinerant shows. So far, the
officials haye been successful in ousting objectionable merchants, but the
Isabella county line runs through the
south edge of the city and now tbe
Itinerants camp just over the line and
the city solons are balked.
Eev, E. A. Boyl expects to depart
about the 12th on a week's lecturing
tour in the South. Mr. Boyl has been
invited to lecture in Jacksonville, Ftor-
ida, (present abode of Bill Chard,) but
was told that he would have to depend
upon northern tourists and northern
settlers for his audience. This certainly, casts some bad reflections on
the natives of that state, Let's see,
Florida usually goes democratic.
After January 1 the stamped envelopes issued by the postoffice department will have a red stamp of exactly
the same shade as the carmine two-
center. This Is in accordance with an
article In the international postal
agreement which requires all issues of
the same denomination of a stamp to
be uniform In color. The department
will this month begin substituting
the red stamp on envelopes for the
green.
A- Ten-Cent table of appropriate
Christmas ^Ifts is one of the many
attractive displays at Holttook's department store.
The truant officer, by order of the
board of education, has begun a proper
crusade against truants, One young
man was arrested Tuesday by Deputy-
sheriff Gordanler and taken' before
Justice Carpenter, where he was fpno'd
guilty, but was let off on suspended
sentence. Parents should aid the authorities in keeping their children in
school. There are probably eight or
ten other truants who will be arrested
unless they promptly mend their ways.
J. W, Calkins bas leased The Calkins
to Homer Jones, an experienced hotel
man, who will take possession the 1st
Of May. It is now a trifle over seven
years since The Calkins was built and
during that time Mr. and Mrs. Calkins have conducted the hostelry In
such a manner that there is not a hotel In the state with a better reputation. The Calkins is one of the institutions that has aided much in making Clare a g^od town.
State Superintendent of Schools,
Hammond visited the Clare schools on
Thursday forenoon. He addressed the
grammar and high school pupils for
about twenty minutes in a .very entertaining manner. He made brief visits
to the other rooms. He was quite
pleased with the general work of the
school, and expressed himself quite
favorably on the room decorations.
This speaks well for both teachers and
pupils.   Come again, Mr,. Hammcnd.
A short trip into the country north
and northeast of the city, recently,
brought favorably to mind the splendid resources for agriculture and stock
raising that are fast being improved
here and which will be eventually of
so much greater benefit to the people
and yield greater returns for their efforts than have been realized in the
lumbering stage of our industrial history.' These fertile acres will all be
improved and made to yield a golden
harvest to the owners and now is a
good time to buy.
Newspaper men a great many times
are blamed for a lot of things they can
not help, such as using partiality in
mentioning visitors, giving news about
some folks and leaving out others. We
simply print the news we can find. An
editor should not be expected to know
the names of your uncles, aunts and
cousins, even if he should see them get
off the train. Tell him about it. It's
news that makes the newspaper, and
every man, woman and child in the
neighborhood could be associate editors if they would. ^/
Dr. F. O. Sanford, W. J. Hutchison
and John Hodkinson recovered from
that acute attacic of "buck" fever
which we mentioned last week, returning home Friday, They did "their
hunting 135 miles northeast of herej
but were well-paid for their journey,
as they secured ten deer, Tbis makes
a total of 20 or more deer secured this
scdson by Clare burners. Interesting
tales of the chase have been the all-
absorbing topic, of conversation since
their return. If Tub Sentinel is
now more interesting than usual it is
because the choice cuts of venison received have added materially to our
gray matter. Many thanks to the
donors.
Fooled the People. Prof. Gilbert,
of the Northvilleschool, returned with
a bride last week and as the couple
were expected to attend Presbyterian
services Sunday night, many in the
congregation were anxious for the first
appearance Of the young lady from
Olio, who was Miss Bessie Giberson,
formerly of this city. "Behold, the
bridegroom cometb," read Rev. J. H,
Herbener from the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew, and just then the
aoor in the rear of the church
opened and there was an almost
unanimous turning of heads and
straining of eyes in that direction, but
it was only the janitor going out to
lower a window. Iu order to further
hold the attention of his audience Mr.
Herbener sought another spot in the
Bible,
Christmas is only a little over two
weeks off,- but our merchants are prepared for it with big stocks of Christmas goods, Nothing has been omitted
that would be likely toplease the little folks and for those of mature years
elegant Xmas boxes can be procured
at almost any of our stores. Our merchants will and should enjoy an exceptionally large holiday trade for the
reason that they have made Preparations for it, and what interests the
buyer most is the fact that everything
is marked down to prices that cannot
be beaten in tho largo cities. In fact,
Clare is fast becoming noted as one of
the best trading points in northern
Michigan. In no town are goods sold
today at more reasonable prises than
right here, therefore, wc invite all
Sbnmotsl readers to come to Glare to
do their holiday tiadlhg.
