'For there's a chiel amangye taken note,
Au% faith, he'll premt it."
The comncil had a very animated
session Monday evening, the chief
matter under consideration being the
location -of the ten street arc lights.
A plan was submitted by Alderman
Jenney which had some commendable
features, and which was finally adopted . It 'was evident from the first that
ten lights were not sufficient to put
one on every man's corner, nor even
sufficient to put one at every point
that seemed imperatively to demand
it. 'Twas like the gentleman whose
coverlet was so brief that he could not
cover his feet and shoulders at the
same time. Lights were established
as follows: On McEwan street at its
intersection with 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th
and State streets (that is, the corners
by Dr. Davis, Wolsky block, Calkins,
G. A. R. hall and A. Yan Brnnt's
residence), being five of the ten lights.
The other five are placed at corner of
1st and Maple (R. Muscottfs), 5th and
Maple (H: C. Ball's), 5th and Hemlock
(C. H. Sutherland's) 7th and Beech (R.
FL Jenney's), 7th and Pine(H. Defoe's).
A motion was introduced to place a
light near the F. & P. M. crossing on
McEwan street, but was lost, after
considerable acrimonious talk. It is
evident that a light is badly needed at
tte crossing, but how it can be done
with the present number of lights ani
not do an injustice to some other point
is as difficult to solve as the 15 puzzle.
We do not believe the city ought to
add another light, at present, at least.
There is one beauty at least about Mr.
Jenning's plan, as adopted,—there is
not an important street in the city
but that has at least one lamp to
guide the wayfarer.

*
Now that the street ear jangle is
practically ended and Dr. McLeod has
been bounced, it is hard -to see what
Detroit papers will have to fill their
columns with. *
There isn't a man about town • that
enjoys his little joke any better than
J. C. Rockafellow.   If J. C. hasn't a
little laugh on someone its a sign he's
sick or insurance business isn't very
brisk; but as his health and business
are usually both pretty good, he manages to extract about as much humorous satisfaction out of life as the next
man.   If there's another man in town
that ought to share honors with J. C.
in his enjoyment of a good point its
Clark Sutherland, cashier in the bank.
Clark never loses a good play at the
opera house,  and they say that his
laugh at a good point is as encouraging to a show company as a deacon's
"amen" is to his domine's prayer. The
great and fundamental 'difference between J. C. and Clark is, that while
the former is a staunch republican,
the latter is so unyielding in his democracy that even the past two years of
democratic supremacy has not phased
him.     Well,  it   happened   Monday,
which was the 4th of March, that. J. C.
was sitting in the front part of the
bank as the doors were about to be
closed for   the noon    hour.     As  a
matter  of fact it   was   a    minute
or   two   past the    twelve    o'clock
mark   when     the    sun     suddenly
burst from behind the heavy grey
clouds, where it had been hidden for
several days, and flooded all out-of-
doors with its genial light.   "There!"
exclaimed J. C, pointing to the sunshine, "do you see that?"   "Yes," replied Clark, "but what of it?"   "Why,
that is the   benediction," was the
quick reply, "congress just adjourned!"
Then everyone joined in the laugh on
democracy, and no-one more heartily
than Clark himself.
A FACTORY.
A MEETING HAS BEEN CALLED TO  SECURE ONE IN CLARE.
IT IS PROPOSED TO ORGANIZE A STOCK.
COMPANY
TO MANUFACTURE FARM IMPLEMENTS'
AND OTHER TOOLS.
A meeting has been called for the
Sentinel office at 8 o'clock, sun time,
Saturday—(tomorrow) evening, for the
purpose of taking tbe necessary first
steps to ward organizing a stock company with local capital for the purpose
of erecting a plant to make farm tools
and implements.
Thos. Nay lor operates a small foundry in the north east part of the city.
He is a young and energetic man and
of-considerable practical experience in
foundry work and tool, manufacture.
He has been looking the ground over
carefully, interviewing business and
working men on the subject of manufacture, and has every where met with
encouragement to the idea of stock
company to manufacture articles requiring parts of iron and steel. Clare's
location both as to securing of the raw
material and as a shipping point is unexcelled. The field is practically wide
open in central Michigan. Capital
is all that is needed. To secure the
necessary funds, say $5,000, those wbo
have given the matter most thought
suggest that the amount be divided
into shares of,say,$10, $20, or $25, small
enough that a large number of individuals may take of the stock, then
protect the small holders by limiting
the number of shares to be held by
any one person, preventing anything
like a "freeze out." Already enough
have signified their willingness to take
stock so that the prospects look bright
for the success of the enterprise.
Further explanations of what is
proposed to be done, and general interchange of ideas, will be given Saturday
night. Come together and talk the
matter over; keep the ball a rolling.

The movement (as mentioned more
in detail in another column) to organize and capitalize a company for *the
manufacture of agricultural implements and tools, should meet with
hearty encouragement. There is not
a business man or workman or any
other person but would be benefitted
thereby. Yes, more, there is not a
J arm tributary to Clare but would
•share in the benefit of a larger market, to say nothing ef the probable lessened cost of farming tools. Certainly
no argument is needed on that score.
What seems to us to be especially com-
.mendible, is the manner in which it is
proposed stock shall be taken andheld.
Shares of small denomination held in
many hands and so protected thatxone
or two individuals can not freeze «out
the others, will surely find plenty of
subscribers. .Every man and woman
who feels an interest in promoting the
enterprise should attend the meeting,
whether you can take stock or not.
What is wanted now is encouragement. Set a committee at work soliciting subscriptions. Later meetings
will perfect the organization. Meet
Saturday evening and show your interest. Exchange ideas. The thing is
sure to go. Don't wait until success is
assured before you take a part. The
meeting is called for the Sentinel office at 8 o'clock sun time, Saturday
evening. Perhaps the office won't
hold the crowd. We hope not; but
you are welcome to what there is. We
are glad to be able to do even this to
help start the ball rolling.

-Brfef Sketch of the Republican. Candidate
for County School Commissioner.
The republican nominee for school
commissioner of Clare county is E. D.
Palmer of Clare, editor of tip Sen-.
TiNBiii. He was born on a fapm near
WellsTiile, Allegany County! N. Y.,
Dee. 8,1861, and is consequently past
his 33d birthday. His boyhood was
spent upon the farm, his early school
experiences being received in the typical little red school house'on the hillside, adjacent to a stately wood where
beech and birch switches grew in
luxuriant abundance. The desks were
sloping shelves ranged around the
walls, and the seats were mill slabs,
flat side up, with legs inserted in auger
holes. At the age of ten he entered
the village school at Norwich, N. Y.,
graduating from the Academy at that
place in 1881. In 1882 he came to Michigan, teaching school first in Isabella county and afterwards at Harrison, as the principal of the city
schools. He entered Hillsdale College
in 1884,and after several interruptions,
being compelled to leave school occas-
sionally in order to earn money to continue his studies, graduated therefrom
in June, 1889, with highest honors, in
the classical course, receiving the A.
B. degree. Iu the summer of 1891 he
took special post graduate work at the
Michigan Agricultural College, and in
the same year was granted a state life
certificate, the only -one ever held in
Clare county. In 1894 Hillsdale College
conferred on him the further degree
of Master of Arts. Upon his graduation he accepted the princlpalship of
Clare schools, remaining at their head
for three years, when he left teaching
for newspaper work, in which he is at
present engaged. Since he is so intimately associated with this paper we
will be pardoned for not saying anything regarding his" fitness for
the office of school commissioner further than may be inferred from the
bare statements above. We can assure the public, however, that if
chosen commissioner, Mr. Palmer will
give the office the time and service the
important responsibility urgently demands.
Prohibition City Caucus.
The prohibition voters of Clare will
hold a city caucus at Gospel Hall,Tues-
day evening, March 12, at 7:30, to place
in nomination candidates for the several city officers to be elected in April.
The ward.caucuses will be held immediately after the city caucus.
