Cheboygan Democrat: . The Clare
newspaper reminds us of the sailor
man and his single cannibalistic joke
' about being the whole crew of captain's gig. First there was the Press,
then the Democrat. Democrat swallowed the Press during Democratic
tax sales times, now comes, the Sentinel and swallows everything, and
we now have the Clare Sentinel-
Democrat-Press. We are sorry to
see M. D. Eaton, who made a splendid
paper out of the Democrat, get forced
out, but he was wise to get when he
-could sell.

Dave Rorison wishes to announce to
all his old friends wnom he has waited
upon for the past ten years while in
the employ of Mr. Doherty in his hardware store, that he has resigned his
position with him; and that about the
20th of this month iie will open up a
new stock of hardware in the store he
has just purchased, now occupied by
J. L. Welch's market, next the railroad, where he will do a general hardware business.    ;
He. will be pleased to welcome all his
old friends, and .new ones as well,
whether they want to-purchase or not.
See his advertisement next weekv He
says,that if, by doing a cash business,
(as his capital is small) he can save you
money, it will pay you to trade with
him, as he will give.f on the benefit of
not having any poor accounts.
In remembrance of past favors and
soliciting a share of your patronage, I
respectfully make my bow to the trade.

editor writes it *up and gets 00; it marries, the minister gets another $5, the
editor gets a piece of cake or OOOi in

from $5 to $10, the minister gets another $5 the undertaker gets from $25
to $6Q, the editor publishes it and receives 0000—and the privilege of running, free of charge, a card of thanks.
YanBrunt & Son wish it. distinctly
understood that they intend closing

well wearing shoe, there never was a
better time nor place to get it at a
bargain. - Those who have bought
boots or.shoes of this • firm can vouch
for the reliability of their goods. The

• The therapeutic value of a hearty
laugh is not half appreciated by a vast
number of the weary travelers through
this perplexing world. There is nothing that so penetrates the remotest fiber and hidden recess of the body
as a hearty, stirring-up laugh; if it
shakes the body, all the better. It
stimulates the blood to move more
rapidly, and gives an onward impulse
to sluggish veins. If you would add
years to your own life and the lives
of those dear to you, strive to make
the home merry as well as happy, and
save up amusing stories to tell at the
table—From "Kernals of Precaution
and Comfort," in Demorest's Magazine
for January.

their only trading place. In 1884, they
moved to Harrison, where they have
lived continuously^ since. Soon after
her marriage she united with the ML!).
church, and has been a consistent and
faithful member ever since. .The

leaves a husband and six children to
mourn her loss.

Dr. F. J. Todd, of Oakland, Cal.,
has our thanks for a copy of the New
Year's edition of the San Francisco
Chronicle. It is a 58-page paper, and
sets off in fine style California's advantages and possibilities.
Everyone acquainted with her will
be pained to learn the death of Miss
Lena Eberhart, which occurred to-day
at noon after a long illness. Her sickness had been severe and her life at
times had been dispaired of, though
of late her friends had thought she
might recover.
If your local paper has trod on your
toes a little in performing its mission,
don't get your back up and abuse the
editor, but stop and take a long breath
and think for a season, and. see if- you
cant remember some of the favors and
kindnesses it has shown you in the
past. Then reflect that it may not be
long, before you may want a favor
again.   ,       -
The-resignation of David Rorison
from the responsible position he has
held with A J Doherty in. the latter's
hardware store, for the past eleven
years is announced elsewhere- in today's paper. "Dave" has waited upon.
a good many thousand people during
that time, and always with uniform
cpurtesy. His friends, and he counts
them by-hundreds, would very much
regret his resignation, were it not foi
the fact that he is about to begin bus-*
iness foi* himself, in which enterprise
the Sentinel joins in wishing him
abundant success.
TheiDastyear has been characterized
by numerous business changes in Clare
The latest to record is the embarking
in business of Dave Rorison and the
other changes consequent thereto
He will occupy the building which he
has bought of Mr Doherty, next the
F. & P. M. track, at present occupied
by Mr Welch. The latter has leased
the store rooms in the Louch block,
now used by A. Louch & Son with
farm implements, etc, and will move
therein with his meat market' next
week. Perce Louch, of. the firm above
named, has accepted a position in A J
Doherty's hardware store, and so the
circle is completed.   ■

officers have performed the duties of
their several positions to the satisfaction of the people and credit to themselves. The incoming officers, Messrs.
H. Heisman, John Quinn and D. R.
Wait', go into office with the full confidence of the-people and without question their duties will be satisfactorily
performed. Tfeas. Browne and Sheriff
Brown pass into second terms with enviable records and in all the Cleaver
predicts a successful- administration
of the county's affairs for the next two
years.—Harrison Cleaver.
The most terrible cold wave that
has been known since 1835 swept over
the entire south last week. Gray-
haired men and women on the gulf
saw a .genuine snow-storm .for the
first time in their lives. There was a
killing frost in southern Florida where
such a thing was never known before.
The frost reached almost to-Key West,
and at Tampa the mercury was only
181 degrees above, zero. Millions of
oranges were frozen on the trees, and
an immense stock in boxes and warehouses was entirely destroyed. The
worst of it all is that the trees themselves were killed inmost places, and
the loss in dollars, which is estimated
at five or six millions, does not represent the actual loss to the orange
growers.who will have to set put new
orchards.

air by the addition of perforated cloth
tastefully arranged.
