deal of money to collect back subscriptions, hence if such subscribers who
are'in arrears will just remit the ^hole

The Herald tells this for a true
storv: "It is said that a Chelsea lady
cured her husband of staying out late
at night by going to the door when he

Her husband's name is not Willie, but

and a revolver under his pillow.

W.L. Ash. the
iiemanly head clerk in Mrs. A.
Jacobson's for the past two and one-
half years, has resigned his position,
to accept a more lucrative one with
M. Zeif, of Ludington, where he goes
next Monday. Mr. Ash has made

estimable wife. The people of Ludington will find Mr. Ash to be a first-
class and popular clerk.
Wm. Robinson, whose death occurred last Sunday, was born at Guelph,

mourn. Funeral services were held
Wednesday, January 2, at. Gospel Hail,
conducted by Elder'E. Tatman, and
the remains were laid at rest in Cherry
Grove. Mr. Robinson and family lived
on the Bicknell farm in Vernon.
Don't worry about your health. More
people make themselves ill by doing
that than is generally supposed. If
you are constantly imagining that
there is something the matter .with
you, you will do yourself harm. Live
as far as you are able a healthy life,
and for the rest take your chance like
a man. There are plenty; of people
who suffer a living death \>y allowing
themselves to imagine that they are
going to have every illness they read
about.
Have you broke 'em yet?

M. D. Eaton has sold the Clare Democrat-Press to the publishers of the
Sentinel, leaving the newspaper field
iBv.Clare to the Sentinel alone, which
will cover the field in first-class style.
Mr. Eaton has published an excellent
paper which will be missed by his
many patrons.—Gladwin Record.
Arrangements have been perfected
between this country and all other
civilized nations of the earth, so that
after January 1st, a five cent stamp
will take a letter to any post office
in the world., Heretofore the rate has
been ten cents to all countries not included in the postal union. Verily,
again, the world do move.
The folks up at Alma are wonderfully rejoiced over the decisions of the
T.A.A & N.M.R.R. to change its route
and run through Alma to Ithaca, leaving St. Louis out in thevcold, thus
shortening"its line, and doing away
with -some steep' grades and sharp
curves. This will become -one of |the
best roads in the country if it is only
allowed to stay in Receiver Burt's
hands long enough. He is putting all
of the income into the road, and making it better whenever betterment is
possible.—Ex.
The Clare Democrat and Press, published for ten years by M. D. Eaton at
Clare, has been purchased by the publishers of the CLare Sentinel, the
latter newspaper having been established two years ago. This purchase
will narrow the newspaper field at
Clare and enable the publishers to give
the people a much better paper than
heretofore. The Sentinel is' a
staunch Republican advocate and it
will doubtless be continued in that
line.—Saginaw Courier-Herald.
An exchange says: "The newspaper business is the most reciprocal
of all lines of trade. It not only expects life, but gives out life in return.
For the patronage which it solicits
and expects it will carry trade to the
counters and business houses in return.
Its business and the people's each affects and is affected by the other. In
appealing thus to the good people of
a place for their subscriptions and advertising patronage the newspaper is
not soliciting bare favors, but it proposes to and does return all patronage
it receives in measures well filled,
pressed down, heaped up and running
over."
Start the new year by squaring up
with your printer for this paper.
Mrs. Anthony Hudson, of Saginaw,
has been visiting friends in Harrison,
where she formerly lived.
John Jennings, of Napinee, Ont., is
in the city, visiting his nephew, D. J.
Fox, and other relatives.
Miss Lucy Smith, teacher in the
high school, returned to her duties,
Tuesday, having spent the holidays
with friends at Grass Lake.
H. Saperston announces a great
clearing sale for the next 30 days.
That means the movement of a big lot
of goods and a rare chance for purchasers.
' Mrs. Hannah Parks returned Tuesday to her home in Traverse City, having visited in this city with her mother
Mrs. <A. Jennings, and with relatives'
near Lansingville.
Elsewhere in this impression we
print the Park Ordinance recently
adopted by the city council. We hope
that the council does not intend leaving work on the'park until thecommis?'
sioners are appointed in May. That
is too late to .plow the ground or set
trees out.
The office of the Sentinel and Democrat-Press is being removed from
its location next Doherty Opera House
to the building formerly occupied by
the Democrat and Press, one door
north of the post office. Come in and

Dr. Will L. Stevens, of Chicago, a
former Clare boy, sends us''a racy clipping from the Chicago Tribune of recent date,- based upon the Tact that a
Mrs. Kennedy of^that city had made
her husband a Christmas present of
triplets--thfeea*healthyiwitirii babies.
TheTribun^eommehts upon the event
(perhaps we should say advent) "and
remarks that if the" western.metropolis keeps on at that rate New York
will become sick and discouraged.
With last week the Democrat-Press
at Clare ceased to be, M. D. Eaton, the
owner having sold his paper to Palmer
& Jeffries, publishers of the Sentinel.
In his "good-bye" Mr. Eatdn does not
state what he intends doing but it is
to be hoped that he will not give up
the newspaper work as he is one of
Michigan's good newspaper men. The
Sentinel boys are hustlers as well and
will give the people of Clare as bright
a newspaper as they can desire. Success to the consolidated papers.—Coleman Independent.
Mrs, W. H. Wilson, of Harrison, was
in the city, Monday, on her way to her
new home at Flint. Several months
ago Mr. Wilson established a lumber
yard in Flint, 'and now has moved
thither. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will be
much missed from Harrison, where
they were among the very first settlers. In fact, it was the lumber firm
of W. H. and F. A. Wilson that may
be said to have founded Harrison in
about 1878, having moved their business there from West Yernon. Clare
county in that time has undergone
great changes.
The board of supervisors finished
their labor last night, after a two days
session. The principal business Was
the acceptance of the bonds of the
county officers which was done without a hitch. The usual grist of bills
was allowed. The latter part of the
session was rather stormy, being occasioned by the old bill of Prosecuting
Attorney Wickham for assistance in
the prosecution of the Boulter forgery
case. Some strong language and personalities were indulged in by several
supervisors and the prosecutor,and finally Chairman Kelly refused to entertain a resolution to pay the amount.
Supervisor Wilson appealed from the
ruli ng of the chair, but the house sustained the wily doctor. It was discovered that John Abbott, of Meredith, has been officiating as justice of
the peace, doing all business which
came his way up to date, when "ex"
should have been his title since July
4th last. A spirit of economy also
prevaded the legislators and they decided to cut the board of the prisoners
from 70 cents to 50 cents per day, but
afterwards a tender spot was found in
their hearts for Sheriff Brown, and
they granted him fifteen cents per
prisoner per day for janitor work, notwithstanding he now receives $400 per
year for the same work.—Cleaver.    '

Sportsmen and others interested in

J. M. Hall, superintendent of* the
Bay View Reading Circle, was in the
city this morning with a view to organizing a reading circle here. It is likely
that a number of our citizens who
have a taste for good literature will
undertake the course. We hope to see
the move succeed-
It is not pleasant for our subscribers
or ourselves to be continually calling
attention to that little account thatis
due us. It is our policy not to do it,
but just at present we must break our
rule and ask everyone who owes us on
subscription to give the matter their
attention. We have recently been to
great expense, of which our subscribers and advertisers will receive the
chief benefit, and need every dollar we
can get.
Wm. Robinson, of this city, met
with a sad abcident at Weidman, in
north-western Isabella county, Friday
last, from which he died Sunday He
was working in tbe woods with a team,
drawing a skidding pole into position.
The but of the pole became bound
between two stumps, the chain broke
and tbe liberated end new back and
struck him across both legs* bieaking
them, and in the fall he received internal injuries. He remained uncon-
i scions until his death, which occurred
I two days later at a neighboring house.
Mrs. F. A. Jeffries is recovering

A surprising thing occurred at this
office Tuesday morning. New Years
day. It wasn't a tragedy but came
within a hair-space of being one. It
was about nine by the clock. The
compliments of the day had all been
said and the office force had settled
down nicely to work.' Even the office
cat had her daily task of hunting type
lice, when the door opened and a lady,
representing the Ladies' Aid, society
of the M. E. church, came in and laid
down tickets enough to entitle the
whole force to an oyster supper in the
evening. Unimportant as it may
seem, it had an electrical effect on
everybody in the office. The editor
swooned on the spot, the foreman
"pied" a stick of wood and the devil
dove to the bottom of tee fountain,
even the galley of solid nonpareil got
off its feet. And why? Because
such a thing had never occurred before
in the memory of man—in this town."
Notwithstanding the fact that the
papers of this city have given societies
and churches from one to five dollars
worth of free notices each week, it i§
the first time on record that complimentary tickets to suppers have been
offered. The name of the Ladies' Aid
society will not be set in this office
hereafter in any type smaller than
double paragon. As this little event
occurred on New Years day we hail it
as a happy omen.
GOT   HIS   Wm.
Card of Thanks.
1 wish to thank my ^friends and
neighbors for their many kind acts
and deeds during my wife's sickness
and death. Also special thanks to
Clare G. A. R. post for respect shown.

Loomis, Jan. 4th.—Special correspondence.— Constable J. H. Segar, of
Marion, Osceola county, arrived "in?
town last evening just twenty-five
minutes behind two criminals of whOm
he was in hot pursuit and whom''he-
had followed from Marion,- where they
were wanted for robbing a store. Marshal Segar stated that the two culprits'j
in order to cover their ttacks and;
throw parties off the seentv had walked through fields, then ont the wire
fence along the railroad for some dis-*
tance, then they would jump off and
walk backwards, then in a circle and
so on. But to the credit of the constable's rpluek, *he kept, hbjb on their
track. At W. J. Maxwell's store, Lansingville, he learned that the culprits-
had only a few minutes before left
there, going east on the railroad. At
this place he learned that they had
passed through only 25 rainutes.ahead^
he at once telegraphed Marshal Spencer at Coleman, and, ever on the elert,,
the marshal had 'the criminals safely;
in the lockup in just one hour trout
the time they passed, through Loomis.
Constable Segar returned to,Marion
with his prisoners to-day," It seems-
the pair must have been amateurs or
they would have kept away from ther
railroad. The fellows-are both young:
men. One of them is Albert Milling"7
ton, alias, Bert Lovell, a general tough?
and the other is Tom McGuifce, who
lives about six miles' south of Clare.
They stole clothing from Wm. Gour-
ter, of Merion.
The Mode in Invitations*
When sending out invitations to.
evening parties it is customary to de*-
note the amusement feature by placing in the lower left-hand corner^
"Dancing," or "Cards," or "Fancy
dress and masks." The hour is designated thus: -'Dancing after-nine," or
"German at eight o'clock," or-"Supper
at half after seven," and underneath,
"Dancing." Sometimes a separata
card is inclosed, reading, "Dancing at
