A meeting of the school inspectors

Bradley, Lansingvilie, Phinisey, and

Lasi; Monday morning Marsfeal W.
T. Weir and M- G*. Sfenlth, an old soldier, g@t into some words in front of
Derby's furniture store and finally the
marshal struck Smith in the face,
knocking him down, and then jumped
upon him, hitting again while down,
as Smith says. The assaulted man
went to Harrison Tuesday and got out
a warrant for Weir. How the matter
will come out is a matter of speculation. The marshall doubtless regrets
his hasty violence, but Smith wants
something more substantial than regrets.
There is to be a change in the F. &
P. M. office force at this place. On account of the decrease of work along
the Harrison branch owing to the fact
that the timber in that direction is
piactically exhausted, it has been considered unnecessary to retain a train
dispatcher here for the purpose of
looking after that part of the road,
and the business will be managed from
the Saginaw* office. Mr. Carruthers
will be transferred to the Coleman office, but what other arrangements will
be made here can not be announced.
It will still be necessary to employ two
men in the office.
While visiting with ^comrades from
the different posts who were our guests
May 3©&h5 mention was made of the
differeat.reunions to be held this fall,
and especially of the aaational encampment a|> Pittsburg.   Many of them expresses! a desire to attend -but,  times
beingm hard and it  so  far  away,
thoughts at impossible.   It is also the
same, plea concerning ©ur (M vision  encampment to be held at Stanton some
time during the moaifelbof September,
and as seme of them said,  to depend
upon thear pensions far means, might
be a failure, for as some are already
being cut off, others feeing notified of
a decrease, and the paymeut might at
any time >*eease, they did not dare to
arrange fer a few days' Eecreation.
Suggestions were made that a, reunion
be held nearer home aad a desire was
expressed by many that Clare, Midland, Glaferin and Isabella ceanties be
united for such a purpose.    The different posts can by delegation be represented at a date in the .near future,
a time andjg>lace be settled upon, and
a gathering of at least .one thousand
old veterans be had with .but Mttle expense, and ass enjoyable a timers could
be had by attending either the national or divisieai encampment.    Tents
«can be procured from the state,  reduced rates oia rail roads, and y#u need
•not be surprised at any time to "receive
a call to'make mention of a meeting
of delegates to make arrangements for
&mch a gathering.   Plans .can fee carried out much easier than for a national or division eneampment. It is -talked
by the old boys that a greater effort
will be made to eomplete a sham battle and fort bombardment, and even a
cavalry charge, tlaan has ever been exhibited by any previous eneampment.
*  Would it not be well for the citizens
of Clare to instruct the  delegates selected by W. S. Hancock Post to extend a cordial invitation for them to
choose Clare as a place for the encampment? An Old Soldier.
They M©t at Harrison this Week, Audited
Bills, Passed Resolutions and Appropriated $650 for Bridges.
The board of supervisors were in
special session Tuesday and Wednesday. L. L. Kelley of Surrey was chosen
chairman, receiving 16 votes against 4
for Goodman and 1 for Doty. Dr. Kel-
ley's re-election is a high compliment
to aaas ability to hustle work. He does
not allow much time to waste during a
session.
There was the usual grist of accounts
to be allowed, fully 95 per cent of the
money thus expended being directly or
indirectly incurred by crime and criminal prosecution, namely, for sheriff's
constables' and justices' fees, repairing the jail and boarding prisoners.
The prosecuting attorney was instructed to enter a nolle prosegui in
all cases pending against parties
charged with crime growing out of the
T. & A. A. strike and wrecks of 1893.
The sum of $650 was appropriated
from the bridge fund. Of this, $400 is
to be expended in Bedding township
to raise the west approach to the
bridge across the Muskegon river near
Temple. Also $250 were appropriated
to assist in maintaining bridges across
the county ditch, running through the
city of Clare, and formerly known as
the Little Tobacco river.
Among the standing committees appointed was the one -on equalization,
with C. L. Mabie, A. E. Doty and Jas.
S. Boyd as members.
The board very fittingly, in a resolution which was unanimously adopted,
expressed its high appreciation of the
excellent artistic skill displayed by
Mrs. Geo. J. Gumminsin the execution
of the two very fine oil portraits of ex-
JudgeHart and the late Judge Greem
that now adorn the wail of the court
room.
Another resolution, which we give
below in fell, was introduced by Supervisor Alward of CSare, and was unanimously adopted. Although the matter referred to in the resolution more
particularly pertains to the northern
portions of theeouiaty, the fact that
it was proposed hy a member from the
extreme south part of the county is
significant, and needs no comment.
The resolution follows:
Whekdeas, The state board of agriculture, after .establishing an experimental farm in the township of Hayes,
Clare county, and working the same
for a year or two, abandoned it and allowed itke report to be spread abroad
that Clare county pine lands are worthless, and,
Wheeeas, In our opinion, such experiments upon said farm by said board
*srere unpractical, partial, unsystematic and incompetent, and,
Whebsias, The results produced
4ipon adjaeentfaxras by resident farmers, without even the aid of artificial
fertilizers and agents, was most gratifying and satisfactory,
Besotted, By the board of supervisors of Clare county, that we declare
any opinion based upon the pretended
farm work: .done on said experimental
farm under the direstion of the
department of agriculture as unfair,
unwarranted and -harmtful to the interests of Clare county and adjacent
counties, whose agricultural capabilities were intended to he determined
by such experiments,
Besolvbd, That in,oaar opinion, had
such experimental farming been
followed and carried out as thoroughly and f ai&hf ully as the work of resident farmers instead ©f delegated to
college students, who regarded the
task assigned them more as recreation
than as a serious and important undertaking, tiae result would at least
have been as satisfactory as upon the
productive faams adjoining.
