A one-horse show company * pitched
their tents near the water works house
and did business Tuesday and Wednesday nights. They evidently did not
get rich in this city, judging from the
size of the audience.
. A. Beebe, Miss Hattie Anthony and
Miss " Dollie " Todd departed Monday
morning for Bay View to be absent
two or three weeks. Mrs. Beebe has
been at Bay View for the past couple of
months, where they own a beautiful
little cottage.
. Mrs. Bates, of Manistee, passed
through the city on her way to Flint to
be present on Wednesday at the commemoration of the event of her mother's 82nd birthday. Mrs. Giberson, the
aged lady, is well known here and her
many friends in this city will be pleased
to learn that she is in good health and
spirits.
Love's young dream is all right, but
the rustic seat on 8th street, leading to
Cherry Grove Cemetery is hardly an
appropriate place for the affectionate
softness nightly displayed there by
some of our young couples. "A man
about town" suggests that he hates to
see the other fellow having so much
happiness.
Michigan papers are warning the
public to take extra care of their kerosene lamps. The lowering of the test
25 degrees is said to have increased the
liability to combustion. Those, however, who take care to keep the wicks
and burners clean, and who do not
leave the lamps turned low, need have
no fear in that direction. The danger
arises mostly from carelessness and un-
cleanliness. Avoid these and you are
comparatively safe,
The train of which the pay car is the

■Every resident of the county should
keep informed in regard to local events
by taking a good local paper. The
Democrat-Press is the acknowledged
peer of any newspaper in northern
Michigan, and publishes the most complete reports of Clare county news.
With a county paper like the D.emo-
crat-Press and an excellent, general
newspaper of the character of the DetroitFree Press, the average reader is
enabled to keep up with the times in
regard to the news of the day. The
two journals will be furnished balance
of year for 75 cents. Leave subscriptions at the Democrat-Press office,
Hon. T. S. Ansley, the agent of Indian
affairs from Ashland, Wis., who has
been in this' section for the past four
weeks endeavoring to find a satisfactory
locationfor the proposed Indian Industrial School for Isabella county, for
which a $25,000 appropriation has been
made by congress, was in Clare again
yesterday and in company with C. W.
Perry made another and thorough tour
of the proposed site in Vernon town-*
ship, of which mention was made about
two weeks'ago in the Democrat-Press.
Mr. Ansley has not yet made his recommendation to the commissioner.
He seems -very favorably impressed
with the Vernon location and his second visit here may mean more than
Clare people hardly* dare hope, Mr,
Perry authorized the gentleman to offer the site of 200 acres for $4,500,
which is considerably less than the
same number of acres can be bought
for in the vicinity of either Mt. Pleasant or Shepherd, Clare wants the
school located ih Vernon township
very badly and is willing to do the right
thing to have i_ there.

Saturday and'Sunday was almost suffocating. The thermometer registered

H; Saperston, of Chippewa Falls, Wis.,
was m the city the first .of the week visiting with his uncle,* Wm. Wolsky. The

There seems to be an idea prevalent
among a class of people, that a bicycle
has no right to the road, and about four
out of five people driving, refuse to give
the wheelmen any part of the road.
The courts have decided that a bicycle
is a vehicle, and as such is entitled to
half of the road, and any one refusing
to yeild a part of the road, and thereby
injuring the rider or his wheel, is liable
for all damages. The bicycle as a vehicle, has come to' stay, and people should
begin to relize i;_i%fact, and treat it
accordingly.     > *
Among the visitors at the Democrat-
Press  office  on Monday   was   Wm.
Trdetcli, who moved from Ohio to this
county about seven months ago, locating near Dover.   The object of his visit
was to get some job printing done and
to insert a notice in this paper regarding his  threshing machine business,
which can be found in another column.
He states that threshing is now fairly
well under way.   Last week Tuesday
and Wednesday he threshed for the
following gentlemen, all wheat: Thomas
James, 142 bu.; James Loomis, 118 bu.;
Eli Reigles, 35 bu.; Ed. Lyons, 35 bu.;
Geo. McCreary, 17 bu.;  John Hudson,
40 bu.; Wm, Wood, 76 bu.; Jos. McKinley, 50 bu.   Wheat will average between
25 and 30 bushels per acre  and is  in
splendid condition.    The oat crop is
just being cut and,, promises to  be  a
good yield.   There is  but  one  other
machine being owned and operated in
the vicinity of Dover this season.    Mr.
Trietch took advantage of our offer for
the Detroit Weekly Free Press and the
Democrat-Press the balance  of the
year for 75 cents.    Since putting the
aboye ha type the writer is informed
that the seperator which Mr. Trietch is
operating this season is  one  of the
machines made by tho Keystone Manufacturing Co., at Lansingville---a home
product—of which W. H. Bowen is the
patentee.   Our informant states that
the machine seems to run the easiest,
most nQiselessly and apparently does
its work the best of any seperator he
ever saw, which is saying very much,
and the firm, (Mr. Bowen  and F.  D.
Patterson,) are  to be   complimented
upon the success of their acheivement.
Only words of great praise is ever uttered by those who see the machine in
operation.
Turn out to the bee on 5th street next

where they will visit for a few days and

or three, weeks. -
. The following from an exchange . is

frThere-are many citizens who?are.careless about cutting down the weeds
about their.premises, and even some of
the best„streets are unsightly for this
reason. Nothing gives a city a worse
appearance, and nothing adds more to
it than ,well kept lawns. Let every one
see to it that their premises are clear
of weeds, thus giving * t&e -city a neat
appearance. -
The Western Union "Telegraph Company have abolished their down town
office in this city, which required the
services of- an operator especially for
that purpose. The messages will be received and forwarded by the operator

Margaurite, the 8-months-old babe of
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brady/died in this

little one's death. Mr. and .-Mrs. Brady
came to this city a few months ago and
have been making their home with the
former's sister, Mrs. Jas. Warren. They
have the deepest sympathies of their
friends and neighbors. Mr. and Mrs.
Brady desire to thank the friends,
through the columns of the Democrat-
Press, who so kindly assisted in their
sad bereavement.
H. C. Foxworthy, of Manton, was in
the city two or three days last week to
visit his brother, Perry, the man who
was so badly injured a couple of weeks
ago by falling from a scaffold on the
Wolsky block. He was pleased to find
his brother progressing so favorable,
and says that inasmuch as accident was
to fall his lot that Providence was very
kind in throwing him into so lovingarid
tender hands as Olare people proved
themselves to be—and for this he desires to express sincere thanks. Mr.
H. C. Foxworthy is secretary of the
board of school examiners of Wexford
county, and a very social, pleasant
gentleman. '   .
