department at J. F, Tatman's, The
clerks: Ben Tatman and Lee Dun-
woodle, have spant much time in decorating the store and have given it a
Very attractive appearance.
Our merchants are abreast the times
with goods this season, and we. are
safe in saying that Clare bas had no
finer or more complete stocks in tbe
various lines than has been displayed
this year, Of course the merchants
who advertise what they have get the
largest part of the trade,—it can't be
otherwise. Look over our ads. this
week.   They are money savers.
e
Last week's Mt, Pleasant Times,
which under the able management of
editor Bowen has come to raDk as one
of tbe best local papers in this section
of the state, and which for the past
three years has ^een independent in
politics, came out and will henceforth be numbered amone the republican weeklies. As a. republican, Mr,
Brown has found it-no easy matter in
the past to run a fair Independent
newspaper.
The Mt. Pleasant normal school bas
improved the arrangement of its
course of study. Like the Ypsilanti
college, it now runs the whole year,
which is divided into four three
months' terms, any three of which
constitutes a year's work. This enables self supporting young men and
women to work the three months'
most convenient to them, .thus enabling them to pursue their course of
study unassisted.
Senator and Mrs. A. J. Doherty returned from the state capital Tuesday. They will return the first of
January, having secured a residence
there, and their daughter, Miss Lida,
who has been attending Albion college,
will live with them, she being obliged
bo leave school on* account of deficient
eyesight.' From present indications
our senator will be well remembered
when tbe organization of the senate
shall have been completed.
In one of our exchanges we recently
read of a fellow who took his choice
between paying a twenty-five dollar
fine or spending sixty days jn jail for
using profane language in tbe presence
of ladies. We mention this fact because of our attention being called to
this form of lawlessness on the part of
many of the boys, especially on the
mill pond and while skating on Mud
lake. Let's try and shame Gov. Pingree boys, by refraining along this
line.
Invitatations are out for the marri.
age of Mr. Albert Raleigh Giberson of
Detroit and Miss Lora Esteli Smith
of Rochester, Michigan, which will
take place at the home of the bride's
parents Wednesday evening, December 26, at seven o'clock. Raleigh is a
former Clare boy having been employed In Detroit for the past .two or
three years, and his many friends here
are pleased to hear of his entering the
matrimonial state. We understand
they will visit his mother here during
the Holidays.
With this issue Ray M, Howe, who
foi* more than a year has been the
efficient and obliging foreman of the
Sentinel office, seyers his connection
with this paper, He will spend the
Holidays at the home of his parents
in OharJotte, and the first of the year
will go to Villisca, Iowa, where he has
secured a more lucrative position
as foreman on the Villisca Review.
While here Mr. Howe has conducted
himself in a gentlemanly manner, and
has moved in the best society circles.
He is an excellent printer, and while
we regret his departure, we are glad
to note his advancement. He will be
succeeded here by Frank I. Ross, an
experienced printer from Ypsilanti,
who arrives to-morrow.

There should be a genuine overhauling of the road laws and methods in,
Michigan and. some plan carried out
that would do away with the semiannual closing up of transportation.
The farmer loses more every year in
increased expense of getting to market than good roads would 'cost him
and the business man's loss is fully as
much. A law that would compel the
ouildlng of roads by contract and do
away with the roadwork farce should
be welcomed.—Ex.
There are times in most people's
lives when, before the mind's eye there
is naught but the blankest kind of a
blank. There are also times when
most individuals find almost innumerable thoa«ht8 crashing through their
heads In a single moment. Such was
the case with E. H. Waller Monday
night when he went home, struck a
match, and, out from under a pile of
rugs behind the stove two bleary eyes
Were staring at him. His hair stood
for a moment, then his nerve was
manifest, and having lighted a lamp
found the old man, one of whose legs
was a foot shorter than it really ought
to be, and having a crutch, the old
fellow who has been around town for
a week or more. Ed, asked him what
he was doing there and he meekly said
he was going by, and seeing the home
Well lighted went to the door lapped,
anil no one answering, he went in, sat
down by the warm fire and fell asleep.
Mr. Waller saw him safely to tbe city
bastile, fumigated the rooms and 'retired for the night probably, none the
woifsefor the evening's experience.
From Sunny California.
Below we give a few extracts from a
personal letter recently received froin
Mrs. Frank P.- EatOn-Gray. who resides in Pasadena, California, and
hope in tbe near future to publish a
letter from her written expressly for
the Sentinei,*
The climate here is simply grand.
Words cannot express thoughts. It
is like May or June in Michigan and
the grandeur of the scenery is inds -
cribable. There is an orange tree a few
feet from the window so full of blossoms that it is a mass of snowy whiteness intermingled with the green
leaves. A cherry tree In the back
yard is in bloom and lettuce and peas
coming up in the garden, planted since
the rain about three weeks ago. We
have ripe raspberries now and more
in bloom. There Is not much else
worn on the street than shirt waists
except early in the morning or late in
the evening, when jackets or collarettes are seen. The roses are beautiful since the rain and 1 wish you could
see the hedges of calla lilies, Mrs.
Skyrme, of whom we rent, said she had
as many as 200 in bloom at once.
How do you like our stationery for
Tournament of Roses?- This is an
annual festivity, but this, the first day
of the new century will probably outdo any precedent, 1 only wish* you
could all witness it, art I'm told it is
simply magbificient. I will try and
explain afterwards. Perhaps you can
let your imagination picture a street
parade a mile long'lead by automobiles
followed by six-horse and four-horse
tally-nu9> carriages, double and single,
tandems, bicycles and horses- witta
riders all decked With roses-, so*»that-.
every spoke and other available space--
Is literally covered witb rosea-. - Alii,
the different orders in uniform will.'
participate. Outside orders- invited^
to participate. Expect about 500?^
Maccabees here from outside.
