The First Social Assembly ball
took place in the K. O. T. M. hall,
Farwell, on Tuesday evening last.
The evening was not an ideal one for
dancing, owing to the heat and dense
smoke from the fires in the surrounding woods. However, with the excellent music, excellent programme, and
excellent dancing hall, those who
were present thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. The second assembly is
to be held shortly, when, no doubt, a
larger crowd will be present; and
judging from the pleasant time spent
Tuesday evening, these assemblies,
if continued, will soon become very
popular.
Battle Creek's crack base ball team
has been up in this neck o' the woods
this week having a little fun with the
boys, and trying to pay expenses.
They played at Farwell Wednesday,
at Harrison yesterday, and this afternoon they have a second game with
Farwell on the Clare grounds. They
don't have to play any to beat anything around here, and usually name
the score before the game starts. The
game at Farwell resulted 12 to 5 in
favor of B. C, and was fairly interesting, ' though it was apparent they
could have made it anything they
chose, but they gave the Farwell boys
a show and did it smoothly. At Harrison the score was 15 to -3, but the
"clown work" was so evident, and the
effort to make errors enough to let
Harrison get their three tallies, that
the crowd lost interest. Battle Creek
could have made it 50 to 0 and not
half try.
Wheat, oats, rye and barley wanted

Mt. Pleasant Tribune: Prof. H. T.
Blodgett has been offered the superin-
tendency of the Ludington schools at
a salary of $1300, or §100 more than he
receives here. He asked the Mt.
Pleasant school board to release him,
which has been done. Applications
are already being filed with the boaTd
for the place. Mr. Blodgett has been
a successful superintendent and his
departure will cause much regret in
the community.
Four years ago Mt. Pleasant people
applied through Congressman Bliss to
have a pension board established at
their city. They failed at that time
and recently they applied to Congressman Avery who last week succeeded
in having the board established and
the physicians appointed. This will
accommodate 500 or 600 ex-soldiers of
Isabella county. This, with the Doctor's other work in the pension bureau
makes him very popular with his old
comrades.—Greenville Independent.
A social evening was pleasantly enjoyed by some of the young folks
Tuesday evening at J* F. Tatman's,
in honor of Miss Frankie Somoroak
and her sister Gertie. Singing and
speaking were much enjoyed. Ice
cream was served, and charades were
entered into with considerable zest by
all. Many expressions of a good time
enjoyed were said with the good
nights. 'Tis said that when the girls
started out into the dark they thought
of the. boy I left behind me instead of
"The girl I left behind me."
The Ladies of the Clare Ladies'
Cemetery Association wish to announce that a special invitation is extended to all lot owners or interested
parties to attend the bee at the cemetery, August 25thj and assist in

for all who assist in the much needed
work. All lot owners are requested
to see that their lots are cleaned up;
or any who wish their lots cared for
by the association will please notify
the president, Mrs. W. H. Goodman.
Mt. Pleasant Tribune: S. B. Hines
of this city had quite an exciting time
one day this week after which he was
"slightly disfigured but still in the
ring." It appears that he owns a
farm near the Halfway which he is
renting to a tenant. As Mr. Hines
tells it, it occurred about as follows:
The agreement between the tenant
and Hines was chat the wheat should
be divided equally between the two
per bushel and the straw was to be
left on tlie farm. When the time
came that the wheat was to be
divided the tenant divided the wheat
in the shock and was going to carry
away half of both wheat and straw.
Hines arrived upon the scene after
he had taken the first load and forbid
him to"take any more. What he said
was not heeded and the tenant proceeded to load another load of wheat.
When he had done this Hines placed
himself at the gate and would not let
him drive out. At this the tenant approached Hines in a very threatening
manner with a pitch forkin his hands.
At the first onslaught Hines grappled
with his antagonist and a pugilistic
combat followed, the fork having been
discarded. Hines then came to town
to see what could be done, and says
that a law suit will follow.
