REMOVED
Ths Seentdscel greets its readers
from new quarters this week. During
the past few days the office force has
been busy removing presses, machinery and type from the Bockafellow
.building", where we have done business for nearly two years, and getting
things into shape to go to ''housekeeping55 in the Shearer building, one
door south of the opera house block,
first floor.
Our new quarters will be more convenient for ourselves in several ways,
and will be found more accessable for
those desiring to do business with
.us.
In a few days we shall be " settled "
when we shall be able to receive our
friends with proper attention.

Tuesday with the single men and were
defeated by a score of 17 to 4. The
game was even up to the fourth innings, when the bachelors passed
the benedicts, and ended the game in
the seventh by the above score. The
fact that the single men were all ball
players in practice, save one, is the
excuse the married men give. There
were several features to the game but
comparisons are invidious.

L. VanMeter, editor of the McBain
Chronicle, has purchased the Missaukee Eepubliean. He has been editor

his new field.

We wish to express our appreciation
of the excellent manner in which
"Tony" Allison handled the heavy
presses, etc., of the Sentinel office in
its removal from the second floor of
the Bockafellow building to the first
floor of the Shearer 'building, this
week. "Tony55 is "onto his job55 of
moving buildings and heavy machinery.
Harrison is having trouble with cattle running at large. The Cleaver thus
scores the responsible parties: "The
periodical enforcement of the impounding ordinance is becoming a bore
to the people. Two months ago the
somnambulistic suckling calf that
wandered a rod from the fold was
promptly gathered in, even at the very
small hours of the morning. Now the
streets present the appearance of a
ranchman's corral. What's the sense
of such f arcial proceedings?
The Cleave* says in regard to the
fall races at Harrison: "The society
will not put out the regulation free-to-
everybody program, but in its stead,
for the purpose of encouraging the
breeding of fast horses at home, will
confine the entries strictly to Clare
county, and only horses owned within
its borders will be allowed to start.
The purses offered will be as large as
the kind of races will warrant, and it
is hoped that all owners of fast stock
will take an active interest.55
The Ladies of the Clare Ladies'
Cemetery Association wish to announce that a special invitation is extended to all lot owners or interested

the dead." Let every one give a hearty
response by their presence, and lend a
helping hand. Dinner will be served

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.

The Mutuals of Mt. Pleasant do not
like it because the Farwell ball club
claims to be champion of Isabella
county as well as of Osceola and Clare
counties. Don't waste any wind. Just
make a date, to play a game on the
Clare grounds and settle the matter
before it goes any further.
There is to be a box social for the
benefit of the K. O. T. M., at the
Bradley school house, three miles
north and two miles east of Clare, on
Tuesday evening, August 21. John
Giberson, of Clare, will deliver an address on Maccabeeism. Peterson's orchestra will render the music. A nice
time is expected and all are invited.
There is to be a game of ball next
Wednesday afternoon between the
east and west side business men—the
$1 and 10c sides of the street. The
admission is put at 10 cents, but it
will be easily worth a dollar to see
Clark Sutherland and Will Elden play
ball, to say nothing about the rest of
the opposing aggregation. The losing
side is to pay for suppers at the
Calkins. Every one remembers what
sport there was in a similar game July
25th of last year, barring the unfortunate accident to Mr. Alward. He will
be entitled to the seat of honor this
year.
The Michigan crop report for August gives the average yield this year of
the whejat crop at 15.47 bushels per
acre for the state and of excellent
quality. Oats are estimated at 27
bushels per acre. The average condition of the corn crop is 80 per cent; for
the state and somewhat below that of
a year ago. The condition of potatoes
is 72 per cent.; that of meadows and
pastures and clovers sown this year is
bad, ranging from 66 to 77 per cent.
Apples promise 52 per cent of an average crop. High temperature and
dry weather have told heavily on all
crops since July 1st.
Mt. Pleasant Democrat: "The ball
game last Saturday between the Bed
Tops and the Leaton nine was a victory for our side again, not only in ball
playing but by getting back at -them
by roasting. Clayton Decker batted
the prettiest home run ever made in
this city and was rewarded by a beautiful bouquet to which was attached
some poetry fitting to the play, which
ran as follows:
When the game is at its crisis,
And yon don't know who'll win,
nAnd your friends and you have staked your
little all,
Why, do as my friend Decker,
Just take your club in hand
And step up to the plate and "Peg de Ball.*'
