rCHOOIL MEETING,
TEE ATTENDANCE WAS "^i_Y JLASC-E
__N]D> THE INTEREST GOOD.
THREE NEW  OFFICERS ELECTEB
THE USUAL MONEYS VOTED.
The annual school meeting in Grant
and "Vernon, fractions, _5To. 2, "has come
to lie more than a mere form. The
interest, judged by the attendance,
increases yearly; this is a good sign
antl, so long as everyone keeps good
matured, the larger the attendance the
better. The one complaint that might
"be made on that score this year was
the fact that a good many non-voters
occupied seats while eligible voters
were compelled to stand out in the
hall-ways. These latter, after standing
until they became tired went off home.
So long as the meeting place of the
district is so limited, eligible voters
should have first place, and whatever
room there is to spare be given to mere
spectators. More lights also should
be furnished.
After the usual formula of opening
the meeting, the director read the f ol-
loning financial report:
The school board respectfully submit their report for the year ending
September 3d, 1894, as follows:

The estinate for 1894-5 was concurred
in. .
It will be seen from the above report that the lots and. heating ap-
partus have been paid for, and that
hereafter teachers' wages, Incidentals
and sinking fund will be the only expenses until the first bonds become
due.
The election of officers was next
taken up, with C. H. Clark and E. D.
Palmer as tellers', and B.M. Mussell as
poll clerk. The electon resulted as follows i
, Trustees for 3 years: N. Bicknell, J.
F. Tatman; Trustee for 2 years (to fill
vacancy) B. H. Jenney. The new
board will therefore be composed of
Messrs. Mclntyre, Perry, Jenney,Bick-
ne],l and Tatman.
There were 112 votes east on the first
ballot, and no ballot showed less than
82.

The Sunday school rally for Clare
county was held in this city and at
Whitney's grove last Friday and is
pronounced a great success. The Sunday school rally is a new departure in
Sunday school work, but wherever held
throughout the state has awakened
much interest, and it is safe to say
that there will be few counties in 1895
that do not have their rallies.
Friday's rally was the first for Clare
county, and, naturally, arrangements
were not as complete nor attendance
as large as will be looked for in future
years.
At 10 o'clock the pupils of the several schools bf the city assembled at their
respective churches and just before
their. & P. M. train from Farwell was
due, proceeded to the depot in carriages or every size and style to meet
any schools from the west and to greet
the Farwell band which was expected.
The schools were disappointed in the
non-arrival of the band, but quite a
number representing Farwell Sunday
schools joined the procession. At this
time, also, the Pratt, Bradley and
Dover schools arrived and joined the
line, which proceeded down Maple
street to the county line, east to McEwan street and thence up through
the main street of the city and out to
Whitney grove. The line of vehicles
was fully half a mile along and every
carriage loaded to its fullest capacity,
there being a score of happy youngsters in some of the vehicles. Banners
and flags were numerous along the line
adding to the gala day effect.
When the grove was reached the big
crowd scattered through the grove,
every one bent on having a good time,
and every one seemed to find it, It
was not long to the dinner hour,
though it seemed an age to the vigorous young appetites. The dinner scene
was a pleasant one, and enough to ar-
rouse the gastronomic functions of the
worst dyspeptic. Gathered .around
the tables, or seated by schools or classes or families or couples, everyone to
his liking seemed to do full justice to
the occasion. After dinner there was
a brief program of music, prayer,
speaking and announcements. People
from town kept coming and going all
the afternoon, and it is reasonably estimated that nearly 1000 persons attended the rally.
A meeting of the executive committee of the county association was held
during the day and the announcement
was made that the rally for 1395
would be held at or near Farwell on
Thursday, August 22d.

AYERY  RE-NOMINATED.
The republicans of the 11th congressional district met in Big Bapids,
Tuesday, and by acclamation unani-
mouily re-nominated Dr. John Avery
for congress. The convention was
large and enthusiastic, rousing speeches were made by Judge Bamsdeli of
Traverse City, State Senator Hopkins
of Mt. Pleasant, J. B. Upton of Big
Bapids, and Congressman Avery.
Following resolutions were   adopted:
Besolved, By the republicans of the
eleventh congressional district in convention at the city of Big Bapids,
that we unhesitatingly and heartily
approve and endorse the platform of
the republican party of Michigan as
adopted with such unanimity at the
late republican state convention at the
city of Grand Bapids.
Besolved, That we pledge ourselves
each to the other, that we will stand
shoulder to shoulder in the mainteance
of the protective policy of the national
republican party as advocated and approved by Lincoln, Grant, Garfield,
Harrison, and many other great men
fo the party.
Besolved, That the doctrine of
reciprocity as enunciated by the great
and far sighted statesman James G.
Blaiue should be maintained as the
doctrine of this country.
Besolved, That % e contemplate with
shame and distrust the disgraceful
conduct of the democratic administration in its efforts to belittle the flag of
the republic at Honolulu and the
shameless attempt to restore a dissolute queen to the Hawaiian throne
which she had disgraced and abandoned.
Besolved, That the democratic
party has proved to the country and
the world during the year just past
in "which it" has attempted national
legislation that it is utterly incompetent to safely administer this government, as witness the smokeless chimneys of our great factories, the fireless
forges, the silent spindles and the rotting wheels, also witness the numberless soup houses of the land and the
wandering tramping thousands looking
for work and finding none.
Besolved, That we full indorse and
heartily approve the congressional record of Honorable John Avery, our
present member of congress, and pronounce it commenablein every respect.

School began last Monday. If all
parents would remember that the
mind of man is a vast storehouse,
which he can if he will, fill with the
gems of thought garnered from the
researches of all ages, they would give
their children the advantages of the
public schools and compel regular attendance. Old theories are almost
daily set aside to give place to newer
and better ones. It is therefore obvious
that the world is an age of progress
and to be up with the times, everyone
must have a good education.
The rain lasting about three hours
Monday night was o very welcome

Mrs. John S. Evans, two miles and a
half north-west of this city, Wednesday at noon, the contracting parties
being their daughter, Allie, and Mr.
Fred Hudson, of Dover. After the
ceremony, which was performed by

manner, and congratulations had been
said, the company sat down to the
bounties of the table. It is worthy of
[note, that on this occasion there
burned upon the table during the
meal, according to an old Eughish custom, two candles which were made before the groom was born and which
were presented to him together with
two beautiful candlesticks,by relatives
during his visit last summer to the
homestead in England. Mr. and Mrs.

to wish them joy. Mrs. Hudson was a
graduate of the Clare schools and is a
teacher of recognized ability. Mr.
Hudson is an exemplary young man
and son of a prominent farmer and
business man of Grant township.
