ormm.
Is the place to get a swell turnout. Now
that "good roads" is the cry, sell your old
buggy, wagon or gig, and get a new one-—one
that will last a lifetime.
TIME
To get FARM IMPLEMENTS cheap. I
will sell at a big discount now rather than carry my stock over to next year
Bring to town a load of wheat, get from 70c to 80c
per bushel for it, come with the cash and I'll make you
prices that will take your breath
Call at the Warehouse and examine the best and largest
stock of Farm Tools and Implements

Universal interest ia manifest In the
aporoaching reunion of the North
eastern Soldiers'and Sailors' Association to be held at Clare, date of which
is now but one week distant. Tbe
officers in charge are anticipating an
attendance far larger thaD they dared
to hope for when arrangements were
being planned for the reunion to be
held here, and anticipate an unusually
fine time. Cornet and martial bands
are engaged for the occasion, street
and dress parades are part of the program, camp tires and speeches, hard
tack and bacon, tent life and war
reminiscences will anite to make the
eoming event one of untold delight
and thrilling pleasure to the heart of
every soldier assembling. The citizens of Olare propose to show their
hospitality on tbis occasion as they
have on no other, and compel the visitors to go away'feeling that they have
been royally entertained.
Among the notables who will be
present on this occasion are Col. A. T.
Bliss, Departtue.it Commander of
Michigan, Michigan's Governor, Hon.
Hazen S. JL'iugree, Congressmen
Mesick, Bruckner and Crump, Washington Gardiner, Judge Daboll, besides a large number of prominent
public-spirited men, and life and en
thusiasm promise to characterize the
reuaion from the time tlie first gun is
fired on next Tuesday until the departure of the last train carrying our
visitors to their homes. Reduced
rates have been secured on all railroads, tents have been provided for
all, a pleasant camp ground bas been
secured,—in fact no stone has remained unturned to make this four
days a time of recreation, rest, and
pleasant outing to ail who are so fortunate as to be able to attend.
A review stand is being erected at
the intersection of McEwan and Fifth
streets and arches will be built, banners will float on the balmy September breezes, the national colors and
the stars and stripes will be used galore. It is urged and we here mention
it again, that every resident procure
decorations for use during this week,
and do not wait till the last minute
to leave your order with your merchant. He wants to know before
hand so as to have no large quantity
left and yet be  able  to  supply  one
j trade.       _,	
Annual School Meeting.
Not many years ago the annual
whnnl meeting in Clar« was a "tame"
affair,—a dozen c/uzeus many times
constituting the whole attendance
But times have changed. The annual school meeting was held at the
union school buildibg'Monday evening,
and no one room was large enough fco
seat all who were in attendance, The
people are becoming acquainted with
the fact that the school meeting is of
vital importance, thus the large attendance.
The meeting was called to order by
| Moderator Bicknell and the report of
the secretary read and approved, excepting the financial recommendation,
which after considerable talk, was
adopted. The meeting voted to raise
$5000 for teachers' wages and incidental expenses.
A. J. Doherty offered a resolution
that tbe length of the school year be
cut from ten months to nine, but af-
ser tne usual amendments, misunderstandings and speeches pro and con
the resolution failed of adoption, and
Young America will have one month
less roaming the streets than if Mr,
Doherfcy's resolution had passed.
Next Jn order was the election of
two members of the board of education lo succeed N. Bicknell and J. F.
Tatman. To make a long story short,
Mr. Tatman was elected to succeed
himself and Dr. Carpenter takes the
place occupied by Mr. Bicknel], who
did not care to be re-elected, The
meeting then adjourned.
