Plants often exhibit something very
much like intelligence. If a bucket
of water during a dry season be placed
a few inches from a growing pumpkin
or melon vine, the latter will turn
from its course and in a day or two
will get one of its leaves in the water.
■ We must warn our patrons against

little distance you have to send, buy a
draft or order-
One by one the nominees on the
democratic state ticket are being introduced to the people of Michigan
under rather embarassing circum-
- stances. The common salutation of
"glad to meet you" is a forced one owing to the human impulse that makes
one want to say: % "Sorry for you."
"■I never in my life," says John
Wanamaker, "used such a thing as a
dodger, a poster, or a hand-bill. My
plan for 15 years has been to buy so
much space in a newspaper and fill it
up with what 1 wanted. I would not
give an advertisement in a newspaper
- of 400 circulation for 5,00C dodgers or
posters. If I want to sell cheap
jewelry or run a lottery scheme I
might use posters, but I' would not
insult a .decent reading public with
"hand-bills.—Ex.

promote his election, or for any other
person with intent to promote the
election of any such candidate either
to provide or furnish entertainment at
his expense to any meeting of electors
previous to or during the election at
whieh he may be a candidate or to pay
for, procure or engage to pay for any
such entertainment." See page* 330,
public acts of 1893. About all candidates can do now is to shake hands
however much they might like to extend other courtesies.
Harrison Cleaver: The north and
south side business men met yesterday
on the ball diamond and at the end of
seven innings the score was 26 to 25 in
favor of the south side. The features
of the game were too numerous for extended mention, but when it is known

running and heavy hitting were all
performed by Dr. Bracey, J. H.  Can-
Webb Pierce is on the sick list.

field, H. Heisman and several other
phenomenons of doubtful weight, the
reader will understand that the game
was an interesting one for the spectators. The north side artists are in for
gore, and another game will probably
be played early next "week.
EredKilmar, the jeweler, tells us of
a "rattling" time he had Sunday near
Eive Lakes. He was driving along
the road with his spirited steed when
theanimalbegan to snort and "holler"
in a most distressed manner as it., approached some dark object or bunch in
the middle of the sandy road, and then
to jump up and down upon the bunch
with all four feet, all the time making
a most peculiar cry. The jumping and
violent motion nearly threw the jeweler out of his cart. After a time he
got the animal to move on and then
he went back to find out what the
matter was and discovered a rattle
snake cut into a hundred pieces by the
horse's hoofs. It was a very large
snake though it had but four rattles.
Rattlesnakes are very rare in this
part of the state, but this' one instance
will doubtless be sufficient to keep
berry-pickers away from the vicinity
xif Eive Lakes this season.
ley, Mr. Reed, Milo Cope and wife,
Rev. J. C. Cope and wife, and Ella and
Cora Cope were among those in attendance at the Coleman camp meeting
last week.
The Battle Creek club will play at
Harrison next Thursday, The Harrison team has been strengthened by
the addition of H. W. Krogman as
pitcher, and McGinley returns from
Traverse City to catch. Krogman
went with the University nine on its
eastern trip this season and is counted
very good.
A few citizens are making a big kick
on account of the recent purchase by
the city of a ho.ok and ladder truck.
The same kind of talk was indulged in
when the fire department was first established, but the latter soon demonstrated its value. It is doubtless not
understood by those who have not
seen a truck operated that it is frequently of more service at a fire than
a line of hose. It is only to be hoped
that it may not soon be needed.
Account land seekers' excursion in
the south the E. & P. M. will sell excursion tickets to the following points
at one first-class fare for round trip, as
follows: Tennessee, "North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, all points in Kentucky south
of and including Richmond, Junction
City, Elizabeth, Central City and Nor-
tonville; in Louisiana, all points east
of Mississippi river; in Elorida, all
points except those reached by steamship line tickets. Tickets on sale August 7th and September 4th, limit 20
days from date of sale.
The camp meeting held at Coleman,
July 25—31, was well attended and was
a complete suecess. The best of order
prevailed throughout the meeting. Interest in the camp meeting was manifested by quite a number who drove
from 40 to 60 miles, with their tents
and provisions, to attend the meeting.
The people of Coleman have the respect and confidence of all the tenters
for the kindness, shown them in numerous ways during their stay there.
There were seven tents from Clare
and vicinity, containing about sixty
persons, besides a-large number who
drove down Sunday and Tuesday. ,
We should judge from accounts of
the 4th of July celebration in Gilliam
county, Oregon, in papers recently received from there, that the people of
the far west are not out-done in patriotic demonstrations. It appears
that the whole county turned out to
one place and held a two days' celebration. One of the papers has this
complimentary remark regarding E.
W. Daggett, fotmerly.of Dover, this
county, who is now teaching at Bla-
lock: "The Declaration of Independence was exceedingly well read by, JE,
W. Daggett, who prefaced the reading with a few historical facts, concisely put together and seasoned with
sparkling original comment that robbed it of its dryness and made it very
entertaining."

at Marion by falling from a horse last

wrenched and broken.
Report of the Grand Rapids convention and accounts of the war begun
between Japan and China will be
found on an inside page of this issue.
J. H. Galliver and Joe Galliver were
called to Eostoria this week to attend
the funeral of their brother, Will, who
at one time was employed in this vicinity.
Conductors 'Gene Cogswell and Byron Boyd have each been set up a little
this week—in other words, promoted,
the death of Conductor Billy Bills of
Saginaw having caused a vacancy.
Conductor Cogswell was called in to
Saginaw, Tuesday, and will be given a
"belt line" run for the present, but
his friends hope soon to see him running regular on the western division.
Conductor Boyd takes his place on the
Harrison praneh passenger. Jerry
Morden, of Saginaw, succeeds Boyd.
Mrs. L. T. Hale passed away quietly
this morning at 8:30 o'clock at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. H. C.
Stevens, dropsy being the cause of her
death. -The funeral will occur Sunday
at 2:30 o'clock at the Baptist church,
of which she was a member. Mrs.
Hale, who was 73 years of age, came
with her husband from Chicago about
two weeks ago, being then in very poor
health, hoping the change might improve her condition. Besides her husband, aged 78, three children survive
her, Mrs. Stevens above mentioned,
Dr. Hale of Chicago and J. M. Hale of
Iowa.
The dedicatory exercises at .Marion
of the new K. of P. hall last evening
was a great suecess, and the Marion
lodge has reason to be proud of the
handsome manner in which it entertained its guests. The ceremonial
was impressive and everyone seemed
heartily to enjoy the social features
that followed. Quite a number drove
to Marion from Evart and Harrison,
and the special train carried about
half a hundred. Unfortunately a sort
of an epidemic of sickness kept most
of the Clare sir knights at home; but
those who were so fortunate as to attend report a very fine time.
Complaint is sometimes made that
one social event receives more extended notice in a newspaper than another
similar event of equal or possibly
greater importance. This is undoubtedly true, and it is easily explained.
Better facilities for getting information are extended in one case than in
the other. There are many demands
made on a reporter's time and he has
little to'spare, in looking up society
news, except such as come directly in
his way. When details of social affairs can be obtained without losing a
day in obtaining the facts, or better
still, brought to him, they. are gladly
published. Otherwise the mention is
necessarily brief and lacking in detail.
Those who complain have the remedy
in their own hands.

REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS.
The Value of tne County  Paper   as   a
Party Educator.
Prom the "Kalamazoo Telegraph.
Let every republican put himself on
the stand and propound such questions
as these:
Is there a republican paper published
in or near your county, the editor of
which is known to be an earnest and
honest republican? If so, do you get
a copy of such paper regularly, and do
you pay for it promptly?
Do you make any effort, to induce
your friends to aid in extending the
circulation of local republican papers?
Do you advertise in such papers as
freely and fully as your circumstances
and the nature of your business will
permit?
Is your friendship for the republican
press active or passive? Are you
aware that the republican party has
been put at a great disadvantage
through the failure of republicans to
give liberal aid and support to the republican press?

A Girl's Best Motto.
With the body uncared for it does
not seem as if the mind could be in
good order3 writes Ruth Ashmore in
an earnest discussion of "The Physical Life of a Girl" in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. And surely when one
has bad-thoughts and bad manners
the body will cease to be beautiful.
The best motto for you to take in regard to your body is "Be clean."
Many of us are unhappily handicapped from birth by ill-health. Then
all that we can do is to try -and keep
as well as possible, arid to determine
that the weakness of the body shall
not be reflected upon the mind. When
' 'one's back is bad and one's legs are
queer," then to make an effort to forget this and to fill the mind so full of
cheerfulness that the looker-on* will
believe one "beautiful is the greatest

yourself; try and keep well and cheerful. Eew people die from over-work.
