taxed without representation, remain
dumb during the decay of patriotism?

Diphtheria is prevalent in Detroit
and four of the public schools, have
been closed on account of it. The
disease has gained a foothold at'other

officers everywhere should be vigilant
to prevent its spread.

hunters that have swarmed _through,

the city attorney to: draft a suitable
.ordinance providing for the appointment of a park commission of three
citizens, and defining the duties and
powers of the commission. The matter will come up again at the- next
regular meeting. It is hoped that all
the necessary legal formality will be
completed and plans digested by the
time the snow goes off in the spring,
so that there may be no more unnecessary delays.
The Dewey Stave Company, -which
has a- number of mills in Ohio, besides
one at Temple in this county, and
another at McBain, has begun to feel
the effects of the new tariff law. Until a few weeks ago there was a manufacturing firm in Toledo which was
one of their regular customers. The
Toledo firm now gets its staves of a
Canada stave company, the reduced
tariff enabling the Tatter to undersell
the Dewey Stave company in Toledo.*,
This effects four or five of the company's mills in Ohio.

Almost everybody uses postage
stamps, and as the n«^. stamps received are short on mucilagS^it might
be of interest to the stampusittgpublic
to know, that if they will only touch
their tongue to the corner of the- envelop they propose to put a stamp on,
instead of moistening the stamp itself
they will be much surer of doing a
good job. Many people lick the mucilage all off the stamp and consequently
it will not stick.

The new school board deserves the
thanks of the district. They have be-**
gun repairs upon the roof and gutters
of the high school building, which for
three years have needed attention.
Through the negligence of former
boards, the walls have been allowed to
become seriously damaged, although
attention was repeatedly called to the
condition of things. The walls are
found to be in a much worse way than
was supposed, through the leakage
from the gutters. The expense of repairing will be considerable, but had
it been delayed a year or two longer,
would have entailed an expense of
more than $1000. The difficulty was
discovered before the building was accepted from the contractors and
should have been remedied at that
time.

The'death of Edwin M. Sinnott of
Vernon township occurred Tuesday,
Nov. 20. The funeral was conducted

the next year was transferred to Co. E

There is a new cigar^actory in town,
located over Kelly's gun shop, just
north of the G. A. E. hall.' The proprietors, Foerster & Cumings, come
from Wayne and are young men, though
with considerable experience in the cigar business. The new factory will
make both ten and five cent goods,
but at present especial attention will
be given to "Our Leader, "a nickle cigar
which is better than any other five
cent cigar,on the market, and as good
as a large share of the cigars that sell
under big names for ten cents. It may
not be generally known, but is none
the less a fact, that Clare is a great
ten cent cigar town,few nickle cigars,
comparitively, are smoked here, the
reason being chiefly that the five cent
goods have been of rather inferior to*-
bacco even lor that price. Foerster &
Cumings make a nickle cigar tbat
they believe/will sell on its merits and
become popular. We bespeak for the
firm, which intends to make Clare its
permanent home, a cordial reception
and a liberal patronage. x
