view of this recognition of genuine democracy, we hopethedecoy ducks who
have been wont to question our rignt

refrain from ail such aspersions in the

think that the letter was intended for
the editor further up the street, hut
after seeing how small the sample hot-
tie is we are satisfied that it was not
meant for that gentleman.

If you are tempted co reveal a tale
someone to you has told ahout another,
make it pass, before you speak, three
gates of gold. These narrow gates-
first, "Is it true?" then '-Is it needful?" In your mind give truthful answer. And the isext is last and narrowest, "Is it kind?" And if to reach
your lips at last it passes through these
gateways three, then you may tell the
tale, nor fear what tho result of speech
may be.
From Evart Review : The Clare G.
A R. Post and -citizens are making
;great efforts to 'insure the success of
the G.A.R. reunion to be held in that
city this fall. At a largely attended
meeting held-recently, various committees were appointed to take the
matter in hand, and the character of
t,he members of those committees is
sufficient to warrant us to say that
there will be no failure. Evart Post
expect to take part in the reunion.
Harrison Cleaver: Mayor Rosen-
stock advanced the idea to the council
on Monday evening, of opening more
and better roads leading to the city
from the farming districts. The idea
was very favorably received by the
council. There is nothing that the
council can do that will be a greater
and more substantial and lasting benefit to this citv than to get good
thoroughfares to the farming districts,
and the city money cannot be expended more judiciously than the carrying
out of this project. Let the good
work go on.
In supplying one's daily necessities,
the duality of the article purchased is
often of more importance than the
vuantity obtained for a given sum, In
nothing perhaps is this more true than
in the baked goods one puts upon his
table. Where it is possible to obtain
both at reasonable price, the inducements are strong to bestow the regular
orders. At Van Brunt & Son's are always found the best and the lowest in
price.quantifcyconsidered. Everything
about their establishment is conducted
with scrupulous neatness and care. It's
worth something to know that the
food you are putting into your stomach
is pure. Then too, they weigh squarely and give you full quantity. For
quality and quantity Van Brunt &
Son can't he excelled. And it's the
same the year round.

DIED ALMOST FRIENDLESS.
Wm. Hendricks, a man in destitute
circumstances, died last Sunday morning, in a shanty about two miles east
of the city.   The previous day_ he re- -
ceiyed a paralytic stroke, which was--,
the cause of his death. ' He was about
55 years of age, and from a letter which
was found among his traps, it appears .
he has a mother living in Ohio,   Hendricks also had a wife, but she left
him some time ago, and it is thought
that she is living in Saginaw.   Alittle ■
party of strangers to the deceased attended the funeral services at the undertaking rooms of O. S. Derby, Monday afternoon, and the remains interred in Cherry Grove cemetery.1 A party
of eight, including the minister, fol- ■
lowed the body to fche grave,    Hendricks, desplte^ hi? eccentric habits, is
said to have been a well-read man, and
who knows hut that he sleeps as well
as the map.,of whom io was said: ■
Ho numbered his acres Toy thousands,
Upon plain and in valley they lay;
He could mount a swift tiorse
Ana ride In one course
On his own oroad demesne all day.
He counted Ms dollars t>y millions,
But he couldn't hold nature at hay;
All the land that he owns
Lies hetween two stones
That are six feet apart today,
Found:—Ladies will find a rare bargain at Mrs. K. M. Goodman's bargain
table.
Nothing succeeds like success. We
