CLARE, HIGH;, DEvEMBBB 21/1888.,

Is an incorporated village of about 1,500 in^
habitants, located at the junction of the "Flint
& Pere Marquette and Toledo, Ann Arbor &
Norlii MieMg'an railroads, and at the southern terminus of the Saginaw Yailey & Clare
County railroad,  a brencn running  north
through this county, owned and operated by
the I?. & P.M. By.  company.    Clare is fifty
miles north and west of East Saginaw, in the
southeast corner of Glare county; geographically speaking, near the center of the lower
peninsula of Michigan.  The "mother earth"
upon which Clare now stands was, previous
to 186S, an unbroken forest.   About this time
people were attracted this way by the valuable timber and rich farming lands, when the
village was founded and the country surrounding began to be settled upon.   Shortly
after this date the iron horse made its advent
into this section, which added anew impetus
to the development of the country.   The village's growth has not been rapid, but steady
and permanent, and is now classed as the
most important and liveliest town in Central Michigan.  Today its business may  be
briefly summarized as follows, viz:    Three
sawmills, one shingle  mill, two   plaining
■'mills, one machine shop, one tannery, one
woodworking factory, a grist mill  iaacoui'se
®feSE@s£!@a, one grain elevator,  a beef and
chicken extract factory, three churches,  a
graded.schoolwithfouFdepartments, a mod
em hew union depot,-fewo printing offices, a
large number of mercantile establishments, I
jsonjjhe usual number of shops, etc. ■      "**"
Bidding.us no longer cherish
Doubts and fears within the breast,
But immortal hope to cherish,
With a faith in Him at rest.
For the Savior comes to listen,
Bending low, to ta*^;of woe;
Burdened hearts of g|3ef to lighten,
"Parse!!   Points
"Oh, a bachelor's life is the Uving for me,"
Is the song that he merrily sings,
As he rummages round through the bureau
with glee
For buttons and other things.
And "a sigh for the poor silly fellows that
wed,"     .
Is the lay that he earrols and chants,
As he sits in his socks on the edge of the bed
"Fixing-his Sunday pants.

cold water. Pour into buttered pans?
and serve with the back of a knife whim,
half cold.
