Two People Well Known in Clare
and Vicinity are No More.
ALBERT HALEY.
The latter part of last week word
was received by Wm. Haley that his
brother Al., who has for the past two
months been at the home of his
mother at White Lake, Oakland
county, was dangerously ill, and
accordingly went to his bedside. A
telegram came Saturday morning announcing his death which occurred
early that morning. Mrs. Wm. Haley
and John fiickey left for White Lake
that day tp attend the funeral, which
took place Monday and the remains
were laid at rest in the Catholic cemetery.
For ten years deceased has spent
most of his time in Isabella, Clare and
Gladwin counties, engaged in the business of cattle buying and wherever
he was known he was respected and
admired for his uprightness and square
dealing. Early last spring he
had an attack of grip, the effects of
which he never overcame, and it was
lung difficulty which came from this
that caused his death. He was
twenty-nine years of age and unmarried. 	
MRS. MATT K. TATMAN.
Mrs. Minnie Alice Tatman, wife of
Matt E. Tatman, of Traverse City

about five years ago.

where a large concourse of people assembled to pay their respects to the
memory of their departed friend. All
of Mr. Tatman's brothers and sisters,
excepting one brother in Indiana and
one in Ohio, were present at the funeral.
None but those who have lost a loving companion know tbe grief this
death has brought Matt, who has the
sympathy of a large circle of Clare
friends. The little motherless babe
will be adopted by . Mr. and Mrs.
Muzzy of Traverse City, the latter being a sister of deceased. The remains
were interred in Cherry Grove cemetery.

EVERYTHING TO WEAR.
The Old Time Concert.
Never before in tbe history of Clare
has there been given an old time concert, the various parts of which were
rendered entirely by old people, but
since Tuesday night the above statement can neyer be truthfully made
again. The program, which was published in last week's paper, was carried out in its entirety, and to the
satisfaction of the entire audience,
the only possible criticism being the
length of the program or the lateness
of the hour at which it commenced.
When the curtain was .first raised,
seated comfortably on the stage were
perhaps twenty-five of the oldest people in the city, dressed in the style of
fifty years ago, and each pearing apples, peeling potatoes, darning stockings, knitting or spinning, and the
sight was one that the audience which
had the pleasure of witnessing It will
doubtless never forget, Then the
chorus joined In singing, "Auld Lang
Syne", which they did in a credible
manner, aB they did the several cho-
rusus that followed,
Mrs. A. Thurston, dressed in her
grandmother's slippers more than a
hundred years old, in her mother's wedding dress oyer flftv years old and having on ohe piece of jewelry more than
seventy-five years old, stepped to the
front and in a manner almost impossible to Imitate, recited a selection,
which was well appreciated.
Mrs. J. A. Norton and H. N. Tlllotson sang a duet entitled, '%ld Mrs.
Grimes" and which was so thoroughly
enjoyable that some nearly went into
convulsions.   They  recovered,   how
ever, in time to enjoy a vocal solo,
"Grandma's Advice," by Mrs. C. N.
Goodenow, and after two more choruses H. N. Tlllotson again favored the
audience, this time with a vocal solo.
At the outset we said this entertainment was given entirely by old people, but owing to the fact that our
"fighting editor" is not in trim it is
necessary to say that Mr. Nelson Irish
is not so very old and that be favored
the audience with a recitation.
Mrs. Anna Welch and S. A. Sutherland came on with a vocal duet entitled "A Starry Night for a Bamble,"
and their effort well showed that both
had had most excellent voices in their
younger days. They sang like nightingales.
The tableaux at the close was excellent and Mrs, M. Jenmng's recitation
proved to be a smile provoker, greatly
amusing the'audience. , The entertainment netted something in the
neighborhpod of $25 and Mrs. A. J.
Doherty was voted the most popular
woman in the city. Those having the
concert in charge are deservi ng of much
credit tor the credible manner in which
the old folks acquitted themselves.
Ann Arbor K. R. Excursion.
On Wednesday, August 15th the Ann
Arbor R. B. will sell excursion tickets
to Gladstone, Mich.,, good for return
to August 30th, at $5.00 for the round
trip, and on Thursday August 16th,
to Menominee, Mich., and Kewaunee
and Manitowoc, Wis., at Same rate,
eood for return to August 31. Daylight ride across Lake Michigan. In-
qulreof agents for time OT trains or

Clare vs. Gladwin.
The above named teams met on the
Clare   diamond   Tuesday   when    a
very interesting and agreeable game
was played. Our boys are lightweights-
compared to the Gladwin boys, but
notwithstanding this unevenness tbe
visitors were held down well, our boys-
being in the lead until the eighth inning, when the muffing of several flies-
and errors on the part of two or three
members of the team let'the visiters
ahead.   Following is the score*.
Innings—   1 2 3 4 5 6 7-8 J>
Clare—      00022000 0—4
Gladwin— 0 0.0 2 0 1 1 11-6
As a whole the Gladwin, bo'ys played!
better at the bat, but our boys made
up by doing better field work.  Harris-
put up an excellent game and Cartlege
made one three bagger.    Considering
the intense heat, a good sized audience witnessed the game.' Tbe return game will doubtless be. tvlayetJ
in the near future.
