A C1MST1AS WEBBING.
* -"Across tlie toreskold led
And every tear kissed off as soon as shed,
His house she enters,
There to D8 a light shining within
While all -erithout is night.
An angel o'er Ms life1 presiding,
Doubling Ms pleasures^ Ms eares dividing. *'
Christmas tide, with its pleasant
recollections and happier anticipations, makes its genial influence felt in
every heart. Picayunish trifles, which
at other times worry and annoy us, at
this almost universal period of joy fulness, fail to make their baneful influence felt. Forthcoming social events
both public and private, are talked of,
prepared for, and gather interest with
eacfc succeeding hour. The former are
always well championed; while the
latter-usually consist of a select circle
who throw their whole heart and soul
into the labor of love with a fixed determination and earnest enthusiasm
that is not revealed at any other time.
Such an event as the latter was the
marriage of Mr. A. E. Maynard of this
city to Miss Lura'B. Tower. The ceremony took place at the home of the
bride's parents in Coleman, on Christmas day, at 7 p. m.t in the presence of
a few intimate friends and immediate
relatives. The wedding was with a
*•« ring, and was performed by the Kev.
CA.H. Coors.
After the ceremony the guests sat
down to a sumptuous wedding dinner.
The gifts were numerous and useful
ones. The happy couple at once commenced housekeeping in their own
handsome home on east 6th street,
where they will be "at home" to their
.friends after January 5th.
Mr. "and Mrs, Maynard have the best
wishes of a host of friends. The groom
holds the responsible position of assistant postmaster here, is industrious,
and respected by all. The bride, during the year that she has taught in
the city schools, has made many warm
friends, who are glad that they will
not, hy her marriage, be deprived of
her society.
SCHOOL  MOTES.
Tbe usual eagerness which manifests itself upon the youthful faces at
the approach of the k-Yule Tide" festivities, could nowhere be more plainly seen than amoag the lower departments o£ the Clare school.
• The 1st intermediate and 2d primary departments, under the control
of Miss Bruske and Mrs. Eeed, respectively, united in preparing Christmas
exercises, while the kindergarten, un-*
der Miss Malcolm, and the 1st primary
under Miss Greenfield, each presented
a program. Many of the parents and
friends attended and all were greatly
pleased with the way in which the pupils and also the teachers, performed
their parts.
The songs and recitations were new
and well selected and the cheerful
spirit with which the children entered
into the joyous task aided in making
it enjoyable for all. Santa Claus visited some of the rooms and left a well-
filled basket at the others.
6n account of illness Mrs. Eeed was
unable to assist at the exercises.

Despite the inclemency of the
weather during the past two weeks,
the Christmas trade in Clare was very
brisk. Of course it was not what it
would have been had there been fine
sleighing, which is necessary to make
the holiday time a joyous one, yet
trade was good for all that.
The editor has had a nice time this
week, eating wedding cake and smoking wedding cigars, and here's hoping
that the pathways through life of the
newly wedded couples will be strewn
with flowers as fragrant as were the
pure Havanas, and that their wives

the wedding cake in sweetness.
