' The 4th of July pic-nic held at Hatfield's grove six miles south of Clare,
was a very fine affair. A number of
Clare people attended, and they say
it has been many a long day since they
-sat down to tables so bountifully
spread as were those at the picnic §h
the 4th. •
Some weeks ago we described an invention of Thos. Creeper of Clare for
teaching telegraphy. The daily papers state that Messrs. Creeper and
H. Hunter have been granted a patent
upon the invention. We hope the
gentlemen may realize a,fortune from
their invention.
Quite a number from Glare and vicinity attended  the gsove meeting
near "Vandecar the 3d and 4th, which
was very profitable.    The meetings
were interesting, good order prevailed
..and all the visitors were hospitably
-entertained on and near the grounds.
. Eight persons were baptized by emer-
.sion in the afternoon of the 4th,  21
. miles from the grove.
A sanctimonious farmer in a neigh-
* boring town wasat*church Sunday and
■rM,nd made a long, eloquent supplication
to the Lord to help tne many poor and
.needy in the community, and when he
, was going home his little son remarked: "Say, pa, if I had as much wheat
.and^corn in the barn as you have, I'd
.help the poor myself and not bother
the* Lord about it."
Yqb can trace a resemblance between the merchant who, when hard
-times.bear him down, seeks safety by
withdrawing his name from>the public
.gaze and. the ostrich who, when it is in
^danger, considers itself safe when its
.head is buried in the sand. The man
who buries his business prosperity by
refusing to advertise, should bury himself and have done with it.
Mt. Pleasant Democrat: Peter Cas-
jsady of Clare, who was arrested yesterday .on a warrant for assault and battery, was taken before Judge Eordyce

Mr. L. T. Olds returned home Monday from a two weeks' visit in various
parts of the state. His grandson,

The man who has plenty of honest
work for which he gets honest pay and
is able to keep within his means, is
happier than most of the men who
have more money than they know how
to take care of.
Sabbath at the Baptist church: Subject of the morning sermon—" Steadfastness and service." The evening
service will echo some of the thoughts
stirred within -us by our national holiday just past. The theme of the
sermon—" Our nation's greatness dependent npon our loyalty to God." A
cordial invitation is extended to all
who choose to worship with us.
"Madam," remarked the profession-
tramp at the front door. " I just called
to say that the difference between
Chauncey Depew and me is that he
makes after dinner speeches and I
make mine before dinner. Pie will do
if your bread is not what you would
like to offer. without an apology."
Jnst then her husband appeared and
gave the tramp a nice turnover.
Every man thinks that his lot in life
is the hardest of all. Eor instance
there is the city man who thinks all a
farmer has to do is to sit in the shade,
and watch things grow. Upon the
the other hand, there is the farmer
wno thinks all the city man has to do
is to sit behind the counter and rake
iD the money. Both are, of course,
very much mistaken. Nevertheless
they illustrate pretty well how "distance lends enchantment to the view."
The Dewey Heywood concert company, in conjunction with Alba Heywood, the greatest, impersonator, in a

soloist; HerrMaxELramm, the eminent German pianist. At Doherty
opera house, Tuesday evening, July 10.
Reserved seats on sale at the post office.
There are lots of men who are per-,
f ectly able to pay the small aeeount
presented to them, who make a practice of keeping the cash in their
pockets instead, and, as a natural consequence, in the aggregate a large
amount of money is uselessly tied up
that could be kept circulating among
our citizens and lubricating the finan-
e"lal wheels so that they would run
easier. A. little sober reflection on
this matter might result in the
prompter payment of small bills and
thus keep the nimble dollar engaged
in the good work that our great financiers intended it should perform.   •
Postmaster Maynard informs the
Sentinel that postal notes have not
been issued since July 1st. Notes will
be paid, however, that were issued before that date. Their place is taken
by a new money order somewhat after
the form of an express ,order, which
has been in use for several weeks. The
fee on a $2.50 order is the same as on a
postal note, 3 cents, thus giving absolute security at a no higher rate. The
following is a list of prices charged on
orders of more than $2.50. $5 to $10,'
$ cents; $10 to #20,10 cents; $20 to $30,
The wooden ware factory is shut

all present.
Mrs. W. Parmeter, who is at the
homeopathic hospital at Ann Arbor,
writes to a friend in Clare that she is
getting along nicely and is greatly encouraged by the treatment she is receiving there.
Our readers will excuse ns for not
presenting as newsy a sheet this week
as common, but the whole office force
celebrated, and as it took a day to get
ready and another to get over the 4th,
there wasn't much time left to make a
newspaper in.
" Tour through Michigan by Bail
and Water " is a handsome book containing view and a description of the
territory traversed by the P. & P. M.
railroad and water lines. Agent
Galliver has our thanks for a copy of
this valuable book.
There is another tramp stock of
clothing opened up in town. When
will the city council protect our merchants against such concerns? After
all, it is the man who is foolish enough
to buy of such irresponsible parties
that is worst bitten. Later—the
tramp has gone.
Wm. Lynch, Will Smith and Gus
Lynch can beat the record at pulling
stumps. They pulled thirty-two
stumps with the help of one team in
just a day, and also had the stumps
ready to be set up on the fence line.
The work was done on Wm. Lynch's
farm, five miles south of Clare. Who
can beat this ?
While you should, endeavor to lighten your business of all unessential
burden, and exercise strict economy
in order that you may ride the turbulent sea of business depression, remember that it is not economic to let up on
advertising. When you cease to
advertise you snap the rudder chain,
and rudderless, you will drift into the
dead sea of business stagnation.
Rev. S. A. Long gave the Congregational church audience last Sunday
morning a very instructive and profitable sermon on the foil-owing text: "It
is too mueh for thee to go up to Jerusalem." He mentioned the various devices by which people are tempted to
neglect the privilege and duty of attending divine worship. The sermon
will be remembered by all who * heard
it-
Common salt is one of the valuable
"remedial agents the world contains.
Used as a tooth powder alone or with
a little prepared chalk, it whitens the
teeth and makes the gums hard and
rosy. It is a good -gargle for sore
throat, and if taken in time will benefit diphtheria. It will stop bleeding
<of the mouth, and in water is a good
emetic and remedy against several
poisons. There is nothing better for
sore feet and hands than salt and
water, and for ordinary sore eyes,
though a painful application, will
often effect a complete cure.
July 4th was a quiet day in Glare, as
was expected. Our citizens scattered
in every directon to spend the day,
although many remained in town and
enjoyed the day in relaxation. Evart,
Coleman and Stevenson Lake caught
the largest share of people from here.
Besides these Hrriison, Shepherd and
Reed City took a share. Numerous
parties went fishing. Of the day at
Coleman a Sentinel scribe writes
elsewhere. At Harrison the day was
fittingly observed withspeeelies,musie
and games. A Clare County Pioneer
association was also formed. At Evart
there was a fair crowd,the ball games
being the chief attraction. The game
between the Clare Juniors and Evart
was won by the latter, but was pronounced not up to the average.
A large party of Clare people are
camping at Lake George.
Miss Edna Elden returned this afternoon, from Atwood, Mich.

At Saginaw, July 5th, Mr. Ered
Kirkpatrick and Miss Cora Bauder,
both of Clare, were united in marriage
at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs.
Henry Hunt.
Republican county convention is

Conductor Byron Boyd's crew, which
was in the Hatton wreck last week,
was called to Saginaw, Saturday, and
put through the inquisition before the
officials of the road. The result of the
investigation was that the crew has
gone back to work after a brief delay.
The death of John C, one of the
twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Bockafellow, of Roswell, 1ST. M., occurred
Thursday, June 28. The other son is
quite ill and the family have gone to
the mountains hoping for an improvement thereby. Mr. and Mrs. Bockafellow are assured of the sympathy of
their Clare friends in their bereavement. *
Married, at the residence of E. A.
Carncross in Sheridan township, July
2d, 1894, Mr. Wm. H. Arnold of Grant
township to Miss Libbie Hanes of
Sheridan township, Justice E. A. Carncross officiating. Many friends wish
them success and a pleasant journey
through life. Miss Hanes has been a
good worker in the Sabbath sshool and
her loss will be sadly felt in case she
should take up her abode elsewhere.
Account of united society of Christian Endeavor, at Cleveland, O., July
11-15, E. 'Ss P. M. will sell tickets July

date of sale and good returning to initial point not later than July 31st, except the return limits of tickets deposited with the joint agent of the
Cleveland terminal lines prior to July

sage to initial point up to and including September 15th, at rate of one
first-class fare for round trip.
C. E. Haller of Maple street departed Saturday for Grayling, to enter
upon his duties as assistant postmaster. He held the same position during
the former administration of Mr.
Cleveland, and gave so much satisfaction that the place was tendered him
by the new postmaster some months
ago, but owing to sickness he has until now been unable to enter upon his
duties. We wish Mr. Haller abundant
success, for, though a democrat, he is
a gentleman whom it is a pleasure to
meet.
Did you ever notice in riding between Clare and Earwell on the E. &
P. M. road that there are several beautiful glimpses of woods and water as
the road crosses and recrosses the
river? In the midst of it is Daniel
Gilman's farm, and the prettiest spot
of all is Mrs. Gilman's garden of roses.
Ye scribe was recently favored with a
box of her choicest, which were hard
to distinguish from a city florist's cuttings. We do not pretend to be a con-
nisseur, but will venture a picayune
that Mrs. Gilman's roses can not be
excelled by any amateur collection In
Michigan.
If ail the agents along the E. & P.
M. road had the interests of the company and of the public as thoroughly
at heatt as J. H. Galliver of Clare, it
would be to the profit of the road no
less than to the comfort0of the traveler and shipper. On July 4th Mr. Galliver went to the personal expense of
furnishing Clare people who went
abroad to spend the day with a printed card showing the schedule of all
regular and special trains for the day,
thus saving a deal of worry to thqse
who traveled, and relieved train men
of the countless inquiries as to the
movement of trains.

An insde page Of this issue contanis
an account of the great railroad strike.
The condition, especially at Chicago
is very grave, and though every true
citizen hopes for a peaceful and equitable settlement, fears are expressed
that even so terrible a thing as a civil
war may ensue.
Ye Sentinel spent the 4th with
the good people of Sheridan township.
The young men and maidens and a few
of maturer years gathered on an open
field by the Tobacco river on section 32
and enjoyed a day of sport. Base ball
and dancing were the chief attractions.
There was also some very creditable
performing on a slack wire. Later in
the day a large crowd gathered at
Curtis Palmer's store at Reid's Corners
and witnessed various contests, sack
races, potato races, etc.,etc, ending in
the evening, with a magnificent display
of fireworks, mueh finer, in fact, than
often seen in large towns.
The celebration at Coleman was in
everyway a most brilliant success.
The morning trains brought in large
crowds, and there must have been
fully fifteen hundred strangers in the
town. Coleman had put on a regular
holiday regalia, and the streets were
decorated with evergreens, bunting,
etc., presenting a beautiful appearance. The flag of liberty floated
majestically In the breeze. At ten
o'clock the procession took place headed by Earwell brass band after which
followed the Maccabees -of Coleman,
G. A. R. veterans, and lastly, General
Coxey's army. The base ball match
between Coleman and Averill was not
finished, it breaking up with the visiting nine away in the lead. However,
the chief attraction of the day was
the baseball match between Earwell
and the Indians. It is doubtful
whether more interest was ever taken
in a game of ball in this part of the
state than in that between these two
clubs. The game had been postponed
till four o'clock; but by half-past two
the ball ground was crowded with
spectators all anxious to get a good
position in which to view the game.
There was considerable betting at
no odds. Earwell went first to bat,
and managed to get in two runs. The
Indians were retired with a whitewash.   In the next Innings Earwell
counted three more, and the redxnen
again failed to seore. • The game at
this point was very exciting, Earwell [
in the next innings scoring nothing
and the Indians three. In the fourth
both clubs scored seven by tremendous
batting and numerous errors. In the
fifth Earwell scored eight, the Indians-;
again being whitewashed. In the
sixth Earwell got a goose egg and Indians scored another. The seventh
—Earwell scored six and the Indians
one. In this innings a most remark-,
able catch was made by Hilson. [ He
ran and jumped over the heads of the
crowd sitting on the side of the ball
ground and caught a spy with one
hand. In the eighth the score was
the seventh reversed, Earwell adding
one and the Indians six more to their
strings. Both teams were whitewashed in the ninth leaving Earwell
boys winners by a score of 27 to 18.
The number of runs made by each club
is attributed to the heavy batting on
both sides and the bad condition of
the ground. The fireworks in
1 evening were very pretty.
