Interesting bits of news picked up by the
-way—Many naen away to the woods—A
post office wanted—IFine*' farms: but a
poor year for grain.
One day this week the Sentinel
v
too£ a walk (he isn't rich enough yet
to ride) through an interesting and
prosperous section of the county in the
interests of tbe paper, meeting with
many pleasant experiences among the
hospitable people of Sheridan town,
ship. Space forbids our mentioning
all the incidents of tbe trip, but some
of the more interesting are here mentioned.
We made a somewhat extended halt
early in the day at the -store of Curtis
Palmer at what has come to be known
recently as Reed's Corners, near the
Bradley school. . Mr. Palmer appears
to enjoy a pretty fair trade in general
merchandise and is especially busy at
present looking after ties and stove
wood which are being gotten out by
several camps on the Middle Branch
in Arthur township. A large, number
of Sheridan farmers are awayt from
home at present at work in these and
other camps in Hatton and Arthur
township.
Later in the day we called on Hugh
McKinon and had a pleasant visit
with him.. He is slowly gaining
strength from the fearful loss of blood
he sustained when hit by a binding
pole while getting out square timber,
as mentioned in the Sentinel two
weeks ago. It is not generally known
that after the severe hemorrhage had
been stopped he lay for .about a day
as cold as in death, so low were his vital forces. He has been keeping
"batch" this week, his wife having
gone for a brief visit with relative near
Saginaw.
- Along tbe road we- met Richard
Hamilton and stopped" long enough to
exchange compliments and inquire
after the health of his son who is getting along slowly with inflamatory
rheumatism occasioned by a fall from
a wagon last summer.
We noted that John H. Smith, who
lives on the Gladwin, road near.the
Bailey farm had recently put up a
comfortable house and had moved
therein, which with his commodious
new barn looked as though he and his
stock were well housed for winter.
At the Bailey farm we were pleasantly entertained for a little while.
Wm, Morrison, who manages the farm
has everythingin perfect arrangment.
The farm consists of several hundred
acres of excellent land mostly cleared,
with good buildings, having an excellent creek flowing through. Mrs. Morrison had just returned from a visit to
a sister in Saginaw whom she had not
seen in eleven years. At the pleasant
invitation to come again we thought:
What an excellent place to come for a
sleighing partyi. -, - -
We stopped at David R. Johnson's
to inquire after John Johnson who is
vquite sick with laryngitis, quinsy or
some similar trouble. The result of a
Christmas ride and exposure. He was-
bearing his confinement quite cheerfully, but was decidedly sick nevertheless.
The pleasantest surprise of all awaited us at "R. Lang?s when we inquired
if that genial gentleman was at home
and were ushered into the mids.t of a
bridal party at the interesting point
when congratulations follow the "tie
that binds." Rev. Lowe had just performed the pleasant task of uniting
Lizzie Lang and James McClung in
holy matrimony. James McClung and
wife are highly thought of by their
numerous friends and a very pleasant
party had assembled to- witness the
happy union. We understand that
the newly wedded pair will begin married life at the Wright farm. After a°
half hour's conversatieh the Sentinel
scrbe heaved a sigh and passed on.
Seeing the door of theCarrow school
house standing ajar,force of habit lead
us in. School had just closed for the
day and Geo. ~D. McCollum, the teacher, was presiding over the janitorial
duties, which fall to the lot of country
teachers. He began school in this district the first of the week and will
have about 20 pupils. His home is in
Gilmore, Isabella county.
The last call of the day was at Wm.
Langin's, where we enjoyed a friendly
cup of tea with him and his wife and
two pretty childi en. Wm. Langin has
done his share in handling Clare county pine and now has a nice farm well
improved.
In conclusion we. would say that
Sheridan township farmers are a pleasant, industrious people. They all bad
a pleasant word for the Sentinel,
copies of which we found in nearly
every home. One thing that many of
them regretted was the fact that they
have no post office nearer than Clare,
which is from 6 to 9 miles away.
We hope at an early date to have
the pleasure of visiting other portions
of Clare and Isabella counties:

Abe McEall, whom we mentioned
recently as having been sent toj)etroit
for failing to support his wife, but was
not accepted there owing to errors * in
committing, hasleft the country. The
boys say that they got him partly
drunk last week and read a ficticious
message to him in Wm. Bwyer's saloon, purporting to be an order to
Offijeer Parrigh to arrest him again.
After dark McEall left town and was
seen later in Earwell making his way
towg-rd Wisconsin.
Wednesday's Evevening>;News,speak-
ing of the senate officers, has the following: "Secretary of state, Dan E.
Alward, of Clare; assistant, S. W.
Hopkins, of Mt; Pleasant."" It should
read as will be seen elsewhere in the
Sentinel: "Secretary of Senate, Dennis E. Alward, of Clare; president pro
tern. S. W. Hopkins, of Mt. Pleasant;"
all of whieh goes to show that the big
city papers with their dozens of paid
special reporters and perfect systems
make just as big blunders as their
country exchanges, of far less pretensions.'
° Clare people will be interested in the
following item from the Mt- Pleasant
Enterprise, as the bride is quite well
known here: Last evening, at the residence of the bride-s parents, Miss
Clara Hunter and John T. Butcher
wereunited in marriage by Rev. Geo.
J. McOandless. Before the ceremony
prayer was offered by Rev, D.B, Davidson. Both young^people are well known
inMt.Pleasant society. Mr.JButcheris
a prominent young business man and
Miss Hunter is a graduate of the class
of '92. We wish them happiness and
prosperity. «
