of the two birds stands a little more
than 5 feet high and measures 68 inches
across the wings. They will be mounted and placed on exhibition.

houses are about to be built thereon or
are already in the course of erection.
There is not a vacant house or suite of
rooms in the city and people are compelled to build in order to get a place
to live in. ' •     ;•-'■*

State street, just west of A. VanBrunt's
residence, on which he will erect a

that the move is an unnecessary one.
Early on Tuesday morning. Charley
Goodenow was at work with his team at'
Lamb's mill putting hardwood logs onto the skidways. The chain had been
fastened onto the end of a large maple .
log and the team started when the opposite end flew 'round catching his •
left leg between another.log near which
he was standing. The sawed end of
the first log "was very sharp and when
it caught the calf of his leg it tore the,'
flesh to the bone,-inflicting a" ghastly
wound nearly ten inches in length,
making a cut as clean and perfect as
though it had been done by a huge
sharp ax. Strangely, though fortunately, no. bones were broken.. Mr.
Goodenow was conveyed to his home in
the east part of the city. Dr. Maynard
dressed the timb, taking thirteen
stitches in the wound. Charley is progressing favorably. The accident is
unfortunate for him, and one that he
could ill afford.
A few" days recently M. C. Barney,
proprietor of the Flint Granite and
Marble Works, the largest and most
widely known establishment of the
kind in Michigan today, was in Clare .
and solicited several large orders for
monuments, tombstones and building
stone which wiil be shipped to this city
in a short time. Dealing so extensively as he does in these materials, employing the best and most skilled work- .
men and having all the modern conveniences for doing this work, Mr. Barney is enabled to furnish the public
much cheaper and with a better class,
of work than smaller dealers. The*
products of his establishment are not,
unknown in this vicinity. He burnished the first monument ever placed
in Cherry Grove cemetery; in fact, a.
large per cent of the= work now standing therein is from his shop. Among
the jobs which he sold the other day
was a monument of handsome design
sold to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schunk, of
Sheridan township, to be placed at the
grave of their son Mack, who recently
was laid at rest. Mr. Barney will canvass this country every few weeks. Announcements of the dates of his coming will appear in these columns and.
anyone desiring work in his line will do
well to get his prices.
Hereafter all "local" advertising in
the Democbat-Peess among the. regular local items will be charged for at
the old rate, 10 cents per line. Under
pfop&r headings, 5 cents per line. -
