The nearer, time approaches for the
sservance of Decoration Day and the
imposing ceremony of unveiling the
Iseautiful monument which the Belief
Corps of Glare with loving hearts and
willing hands contribute to the memory of our nation's soldier dead—the
nearer that day approaches the greater the promise that the occasion will
be the most impressive and the attendance the iargest known in this part
of the state.
Unlike the preparation for a 4th of
July occasion, no great noise is being
sm&cle, but yet arrangements are being
made that will bring more civic and
military organisations and plain citizens to our city than upon any former
occasion. Here let us suggest to our
citizens,- that they will be called upon
to entertain in a general way a city
full. ¥rom nearly every village and
city within 50 miles of Clare assurances
have come of a. magnificent atteh-
3BREV1TIES.
if are so many coming? Because
a soldiers' monument is to be unveiled.
This is no common occurrence, as will
be seen when it is known that the
monument unveiled at Clare on Decoration Day will be the first soldiers'
Monument in Michigan north of Grand
Bapids.
Every teacher and every pupil in her
school within a reasonable distance of"
CE&re should be here on that, day and
leceive an object lesson in patriotism
and devotion, as they behold the battle scarred veterans in blue gather
about the monument which loving
hands have erected to honor those who
now camp across the river.
Every patriot parent should bring
Ms children to see the ceremony and
then teach them' its significance.
Every citizen should witness it and
gain new devotion to the old flag.
Finally, every voter should remember that the small remnant of the
grand army.of '61 to '65 is fast dropping from the ranks, and that they deserve not only a country's grateful
memory when dead, but still more, a
nation's kindest care while they remain—not niggardly and piecemeal,
but generous and spontaneous, even
as their service to their country was
unstinted and voluntary.
ATTEWTI©^, COMRADES!
Once again we are called upon to observe Memorial service. Quite different is this from Decoration day. While
upon tSe latter we decorate the graves
of comrades who have since the war
been laid t© their last rest, it was declared by our leader, John A. Logan,
that we should, not only decorate, but
we should as well hold a Memorial ser-
fice. As a Post, our numbers the past
year have not been diminished by
death, yet to honor those who stood
Shoulder to shoulder by us during the
fierce battle, is our duty, remembering that but a few years, at the most,
should the custom prevail, our graves
will help sweE the number to be
strewn with flowers. Comrades, let
us, this year, with the same love for
all and hatred toward none, assemble
again. The last bugle call will soon
be heard "by- all living and soon we
shaE all meet upon God's eternal
camping ground. Then the last battle
will have been fought—the battle of
death. I urge upon you to lay aside
all cares and meet at Post hall, Sunday, May 21th, at 9 o'clock, for the observance of such service. ISTot only
are the comrades of "W. S. Hancock
Post requested to be present, but every
man that fought for the right, whether a member of a Post or not. Come,
and let heart beat with heart, as did
they in time of peril.

While all must deplore the burning
Sunday, for the third time, of Dr.
Talmage's magnificent church in
Brooklyn, few will join the doctor in
the belief that the calamity is the immediate work of the Lord or that it is
particularly good in His sight. Neither is it a mystery that need be adjourned to the next world for solution
The causes are of mundane origin,
doubtless, and operated according to
laws equally applicable to a church ot
a prison house, to a palace of sin or a
temple of sacrifice, and probably the
reverend gentleman struck the right
note when he threw the immediate
responsibility on electricity. That
the good Lord, "whouoeth all things
well," should have any grudge against
Dr. Talmage or his church, is inconceivable, and the mere intimation savors of what many define as blasphemy.
Carelessness, not Providence, crosses

completed, the house will be one of
the neatest appearing dollar-a-day
houses in the state. The house has
enjoyed a liberal patronage all this
season, which, as a rule, has been a
hard one for hotels.
The attention of Marshall W. T.
Weir has been called to the fact that
a large number of boys from ten to
fourteen years of age and younger, are
on the streets at laight when they
might better be at home. The mar-
shall proposes to look sharply after
the matter and says that if any parents desire their boys especially
looked after he would be glad to haye
them mention the fact to him and he
will do what he can to co-operate with
parents to do away with the nuisance
of boys carrousing on the streets at
night. We would suggest right here
that there are numerous parents in
this city that will soon reap of the
whirl-wind what they have sown upon
the wind in permitting their boys, aye,
and girls, to roam at will both day and
night.
The Saginaw Courier-Herald has the
following regarding one of Grant
township's many prosperous farmers:
A. P. Brewer has for years been known
as one of Saginaw's most prominent
lumbermen. He operated in the Saginaw district many years, and at one
time Tan a saw mill here, but it was
destroyed by fire. Latterly he has operated in Minnesota and also in Arizona. Mr. Brewer is also a practical
farmer. He has one of the finest farms
in the state, located in Clare county,
four and a half miles northeast of
Clare. He purchased the land from
the government and has 400 acres,
with the exception of 17 acres, all under cultivation, and all but 12 acres
are entirely free from stumps. Mr.
Brewer has put in seven miles of tile
drain. The. farm has a commodious
farm residence and four fine barns. It
is devoted to the raising of produce as
well as stock, Mr. Brewer having a fine
herd of Shorthorns and Jerseys.
