Thinks and reads, lie has time for both; it is true
that the hardest task and the one most poorly done is the
sharpening of knives and tools. Without sharp knives the
best machine does poor work, while with knives sharp, the
poor'machine does good work.
A careful investigation of the Clizbe Tool and
Sickle Grinder will convince you that it is the best nachine
ever made for the purpose. For grinding Mower or Reaper
knives it is a decided success.

Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage sagely ob-
seryes that "a newspaper whose columns overflow with advertisements of
business men has more influence in attracting attention to and building up
a city Or town than any other agency
that can be employed. People go
where there is business. Capital and
labor will locate where there is a.n enterprising community. No power on
earth is so strong to build up a town
ad a uewspaper well patronized, and
its.power should be appreciated."—

This is a biGycleage, you know, and
we must all "get onto" the language.
Here are a few expressions: "Your
tire is punctured" indicates tlwfr the
story you are telling lacks the probable element of truth. Reckless
statements are called coasting. A very
ancient yara is not a chestnut, but a
century. A young couple -sharing
mutual fondness are riding a .tandem.
A man leading a fast life is geared too
high. An old fogy is referred to as a
wheel. A 'Cha'perone is known as a
pace-maker. A cheap bicycle is called
a gaspipe machine.
Farmers must (we emnhasize tbe
must) euG the rye from their wheat-
iields. If they neglect this their wheat
will bring only the price of rye and
will, be hard to market far anything
but feed. A few kernals <?f rye in a
bushel of wheat makes the whole rye
and the flour makes black bread.
There never was so much rye in tbe
wheat of Clare county as tbere is this
season and millers and buyers say they
will refuse to buy all wheatr (that has
the least rye in it. Take .a sharp
corn cutter amd go at it.
It's safe to say that a more pleasant
evening' was never passed, than on
Thursday, J«ne 17, at the Pythian
Castle hall. The occasion was the
gathering of the Knights an3 Rath-
bone sisters in honor of the birthday
anniversaries of Charles H. Clark, the
Pythian Chancellor Commander, and
of Mrs. J. D. Allen, ex-chief of the
Rabhbone Sisters. The hall was
beautifully decorated for the occasion
with evergreens, arid fragrant flowers
were everywhere abundant, and on
each table was a triangle of roses, besides other floral decorations. As for
the repast itself. It was most elegant-.
The time passsed with all, alas, all
too swiftly, and tha evening's enjoyment seemed but begun when old Sol
himself, rose smiling in the east and
the merry party felt like saying with
the Poet Byron:
"Not yet—uot yet—Sol pauses on the hill—
Tho precious hour of pacti tig lingers still."

The execuMye committee of the G.
A. R. reunion held a special meeting
last Tuesday • evening, and among
other things appointed a program
committee, w&ich will meet with the
vice presidents in Clare neKt week
Thursday, July 1, to arrange the
official program for the four days of
the reunion. Tbe soli'citing committee reported that promised donations
from the farmers in the way of various kinds of produce for the reunion
are coming in fast, The soliciting
committee will soon visit the business
men of the city for money donations,
one quarter to be paid down, i on the
2d day of the reunion, i on the 3d day
and the last i on the 4th' day. Business men of Clare can well afford to
contribute liberally, as there will be
several thousand visitors here besides
the old soldiers and they will be here,
not for one day, but for four days. To
carry out the elaborate and magnificent program which the committee is
preparing will take a goodly sum, but
'twill be money well spent. 'Twill
not be many years before tbe opportunity of honoring the boys who wore
the blue, will be past. The present
opportunity should be improved.

The Jas. IT. Ilrowne Theatre Co.
presented the sensational drapw ia 4-
acls "The Pay Train" at the opera,
house last night, in a highly ..credit
able manner, every character being
excellently interpreted, noticeably so
the character of Jermiah Judge,
Bridget McGouigle and Bessie and
Foxie, It has been several years
since the aboyc company has favored
Clare with a visit, and we can safely•
predict tbat Mr. Browne has lost
none of his old time popularity. Tbe-
robbery of the pay car and- the mine
explosion were two of the most realistic scenes ever given upon\ur local
stage. \

Cadillac News aud  Express:    The
section of the state traversed by the
Ann Arbor railroad will*be interested.
io a report which comes from Marinette, Wis., €hat a project which has.
more than a little promise of success.-
is being worked up by the Ann Atbor
road  to  secure  a  western outlet to
Duluth and thence west aud southwest into the wheat  producing sections of the Dakotas.. A represQncra-•
tive of .the  company was lately at ■
Marinette and Menominee and |s said
to have procured  an" option oa tbe
Holmes' logging railroad, the eastern-
terminus of which is about 20 miles-
from Marinette,   and   extends from,-
that point about 40 miles in a northwesterly direction.   By securing this
road, with a connection put in to the
mouth of the Menominee riyer, the
Ann Arbor line, by means of its car
ferry, across Lake Michigan, could tap
an extensive lumber, pulp and cedar
country, as well as get a reach toward
the northwestern grain and coal trade,
which could eventually be secured by '
a connection,   with  one of tbe i?oo
roads, of by an extension of its own
line westward as an. independent competitor.   If the report from Marinette
has any basis iu truth- it is probable
that the Ann Aybot is. nursing an ambition to reach out for northwestern
traffic, atid thus make-its car ferrv a
link io a great trunk line.
