A young man came into the Sentinel
office.the other day to pay a couple
years' subscription and our lady typo
went to wait on him ; upon making his
wants known the lady tried to find his
name on the mailing list, but among
so many it was hard to find, so she
asked him: is he was "on the single
list." The young man blushed as he
replied, "Oh, no, I have been married
two or three years." Then it was the
typo's turn to blush, and the more she
tried to explain the worse matters got.
Finally the young man was made to
understand that the "single list" referred to names on our subscription
list where just one paper- goes to an
office.
Kearly 6,000 cigars a month is the
number turned Out by W. P. Lewis,
the manufacturer of "The .Calkins"
cigar. Mr. Lewis manufactures "The
Calkins" cigar almost exclusively,
making but a very few of the 5c brand,
and of the above amount manufactured each month, about 4,500 are sold in
Glare alone, the greater part of the
balance being sold in Harrison. The
amount sold in Clare at wholesaleprice
represents about $250 a month which is
now kept in circulation in our midst
to a great extent, and which, before
Mr. Lewis' location here used to be
sent outside to foreign concerns. The
above figures serve to show of how
much benefit each institution is,of any
kind, that helps to keep money in our
midst. If you use the weed, patronize
home industry. "The Calkins" cigar
is as good, if not better, than any 10c
cigar sold.

Old Uncle Si Plunkard, of dramatic
fame, wili make his appearance in our
city with gingham umbrella, accompanied with followers at 3 p. m. on
Tuesday June 18. Si is a good boy in
his odd way. and undoubtedly his old
friends and acquaintances will be out
in force to see him. Si is drum major
of the band, and he does it to kill. In
the evening Si extends a general invitation to all his old friends to meet
him at the opera house, where a bountiful repast of choice morsels will be
served.
The people of this vicinity have
been praying for rain. Their prayers
have been answered. Wednesday we
had a very refreshing shower, but
Thursday's storm capped the climax.
We not only had hail big enough to
kill sheep in Texas, but it rained frogs
and angle-worns. But without any
joking, yesterday's storm of hail was
one that very few people have witnessed the like before. Frozen balls of
ice fell as large as crab apples, breafc
iug windows, etc., Photographer DeYogt having about 50 panes of glass
broken in his sky-light. All the lights
in the Boswell gallery were broken except three or four.
• Suit has been commenced at Bay
City by the United States against the
Flint &Pere Marquette Railroad Company and several people, concerning
land in Isabella county. The lands
referred to amount to over 21,000 acres.
The land grant was made in 1861 and
it has just come to light that the- Secretary of the inneror in 1861 made a
mistake. During all this time, from
'62 to '87, the lands were being occupied, settled upon, assessed for taxation
and treated in^every respect, both by
the public and by the- railroad company and the state authorities, as
though they constituted a part of the
land grant. It might be well to say
to those of our readers in Isabella Co.-
who own these lands not to make
any sacrifice by reason of this claim
and not. to indulge in any uneasiness
concerning the outcome of the case, as
the claim appears utterly without
merit.
