fll AT}PMetropolis ofGlare county; incorpor-
UJjJiilJj ated city of about 2300 people; at the
junction of the Elint & P.ere Marquette and
Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan
railroads, and at; southern terminus of feagi-
naw & Olare Gounty railroad. Glare is 50
miles north-west of Saginaw; in the southeast corner of Glare county; geographically
speaking, nearthe center of the lower peninsula of-Michigan. The "Mother Eearth"upon
■which Glare now stands -was, previous to.
186S, an unbroken forest. About that time
people-were attracted this way by the valuable timber and rich farming lands, when
the town was founded and the country surrounding began to be settled upon. In the
spring of 1871 the "iron horse" made its advent into this section. The city's rowth has
been steady and permanent and today
is classed as the liveliest and most important
eity in Central Michigan. Its business may
be briefly summarized as follows: A pail
and tub factory) employing .0 to 50 hands the
year 'round, 3 saw mills, 2 shingle mills,
planing mill and sash and door -factory, a
foundry, tannery, grist mill, turning mill,
Eorison's novelty works, a modern union de-
- pot, _ churches, good schools (an $16,000 brick
school building, also an elegant 3-story brick
hotel and several business blocks will be completed by Sept. l) a fine new operahouse, just
completed, lighted by gas and electricity, together with the usual number of mercantile
establishments, shops, etc. Tne city is located in the center of a rich and prosperous
■■^agricultural district, surrounded by whole-
souled, honest and well-to-do tillers of the
soil. Our business men are young, active
and enterprising and bave made Glare one of
the best markets in which to sell farm produce and buy the. necessities of life*in the
state. Situated at the junction of three railroads, Glare is one pf the best points on the
globe for the location of manufacturing establishments. ' Timber of all kinds is plentiful, cheap and easily obtained. The city is
noted for its substantial buildings, fine
churches, pleasant- homes, pretty women,
p-nergetic business men, pure well water,
good hunting and fishing and promising
future. For additional and complete particulars read

Grand Opening of Win. "Wolsky's __leg*-i_
New Dry Goods, Clofcliing, Boot/
Shoe and Carpet House.
Monday last was the day advertise-d
for the opening of William Wolsky's
elegant new dry goods, clothing,., boot,
shoe, carpet and furnishing goods establishment. The new store has just been
completed on the site where Mr. Wolsky has been doing business for tlie
past 13 years—at-.the corner of Maia
and 4th streets—the most central business point in the city. The building is
a handsome two-story.brick stracture
of modern architecture. That portioii
of the building occupied by Mr. Wpls_gr
has a frontage of 24 feet and is 7S__3ieffe
in depth, making a very commoilstis
salesroom. Back of this is a storeroom 12x23 feet, while up-staira is a-
carpet room 20x283^ feet, accessableby...
an elevator or a broad, easy flight,of
steps. The interior finish is of buitiep-
nut, oiled and varnished, bringing out
the natural grain of the wood in. handsome effect. The office, which* iaabo*a*fe
50 feet from the front, on the :3_©e__l-"'
side of the building, is of unique design and very pretty., Indeed,, _I_e
whole interior finish, including counters, shelving, etc., is of superior workmanship.
Unfortunately, however, Monday was
a very wet and disagreeable day, but the
heavy rain that prevailed' from early
morning to late at night did not prevent a multitude of people from*." visiting the store during the entire afternoon and evening. The decorations in.
the show windows attracted no- small.
amount of attention. The" iir___do_-
decorations of the store were very
beautiful, and the piles of bright neir>
goods made the surroundings look very
attractive and inviting.
Each visitor to the new store 011
opening day was given a neat souvenir,
that for the ladies being a neat little
mirror, set in a plush easel, and whicli
will be preserved as a beautiful ornament in hundreds., pf, homes... T_adbi

heavy rain set in about 8 o'clock Monday morning and continued incessantly
for about 12 or 13 hours. A vast amount
of water fell Corn and potatoes may
bebenefitted somewhat. Country roads
were made very muddy, but dried out
quite rapidly under the warm sun on
Tuesday.
Miss Emma Kirkbride and Mrs. W. J.
Wait departed Tuesday morning for
their home at Philadelphia, N. Y., after
a four weeks' visit in Clare, guests of
their brother, Postmaster Kirkbride.
Mr. and Mrs. Kirkbride accompanied
them as far as Detroit, where they will
remain during the week visiting the
exposition and buying a stock of new
fall goods.
_r
C. W. Perry departed Monday morning to be absent four or five weeks visiting various points of interest in the
eastern states. He will visit New York
state, make a trip down the Hudson to
New York city, thence by boat along
the Atlantic coast to Boston. He will
also visit Vermont and New Hampshire.
Will Hay, of Saginaw, will accompany
him on the trip.
Jonathan Boyce, one of Michigan's
most extensive lumbermen and pine
land owners, was in the city a few hours
Tuesday between trains. A stranger
would have pronounced him a.n old
" hayseed " from some backwood township, rather than a man one-half whose
wealth is represented by not less than
seven figures. Pine clothes don't indicate the man in his case.
C. S.. Chase was at Saginaw Tuesday
and Wednesday and purchased about
800 acres of land in various parts of
Clare county, part of which is pine
land and part excellent beech and maple timbered land. Prom one tract in
Arthur township he expects to cut
nearly 2,000,000 feet of pine logs the
coming winter. He also purchased a
tract northwest of Farwell.
George Whitney, of Mt. Pleasant,
was in the -city last Saturday. " Well,
I suppose you fellows feel sure of getting the Indian Industrial School," was
a remark he made to the Democrat-
Press, " and you ought to have it} too ;
for Clare has got more push and enterprise in an hour than is evinced at Mt.
Pleasant in a month." George is a
rather truthful chap, any way.
C, S. Chase shipped two car loads of
oak lumber on Wednesday to Gorham
Bros., at Mt. Pleasant, which will be
made up into furniture. This shows
one point where Clare is " in the soup."
A factory of this kind is just what we
need here and could be made very
profitable. If some one can not be induced to locate here, local capital
should put the machinery in motion.

at the High SchodFro'om next J_a*curciay,
Sept. 5, at 9 a. m., to be examined for
promotion. Pupils coming from other
schools should be present at the same
time to be classified, thus saving the
embarrassment and time of examination after school begins (Monday, Sept,
7.) E. D. Palmer, Prin.
T. S. Ansley, the special agent, who
has been inspecting sites in Isabella
county with a view to a selection for an
Indian school, has completed his prospecting and has gone to Minnesota on
-an old Sioux matter. He has not made
his recommendation-yet as regarding
the site, owing to the absence of the
commissioner of Indian affairs in Europe. Clare is still hopeful and persistent in the belief that the school
will be located on the Vernon township
site.
On Tobacco river all the logs are out
but 10,000,000 feet in the north branch,
owned by C. K. Eddy & Son. A spur
track has been put in, and about one-
half of these logs will be reached and
brought out by rail. It is likely that
the road wiil be extended to reach the
others. The Tobacco and its tributaries
are about exhausted of pine. B. W.
Gubtil has about 1,000,000 feet standing. Eddy, Avery & Eddy own eight
forties, and E. Hall has six forties.
There is a large quantity of hemlock
and other timber on these streams. B.
W. Gubtil has 5,000,000 feet standing,
and other firms own large tracts. It is
estimated that nearly 40,000,000 feet of
hemlock will come through the Titta-
bawassee boom this season. Five years
ago hemlock was not considered worth
cutting and no one would furnish supplies to a jobber sufficiently foolhardy
to think of putting in hemlock logs.—
Saginaw Courier.
A special excursion train will be run
to Manistee on Sunday, August 30th,
via the Toledo, Ann Arbor & North
Michigan railroad. The train will start
from Clare at 7 o'clock a. m., arriving
at Manistee at 12 noon. Returning the
train will leave Manistee at about 6 o'clock. The fare for the round trip
from Clare is only S1.75. It is not necessary to remind Michigan people of
Manistee's many attractions; situated
as it is on the shores of Lake Michigan, the purity of its air, and the invigorating breezes sweeping in from the
lake, make it one of the most delightful places in the state to spend a holiday, and the low rates named place the
trip within reach of all. Excursionists
will also be given the privilege of stopping at Onekema, one of the prettiest
and most, popular of Michigan's many
summer resorts. Pill your lunch baskets and take your family and you will
never regret the occasion. The fact
that the Clare K. of P. band is going
insures a big crowd from here.

and most tastily arranged, to be found

A person's happiness in this world
depends largely upon his ability, to

under the most adverse circumstances,
while others more fortunately situated
are always as blue as a whetstone.
A Bay City paper says Saginaw is
raising a great kick on W. E. Baldwin,
the new P. & P. M. general manager, -
and intimates that the cause of the.
kick is the * discovery by Baldwin and
others of the new officers, and there are
other important towns on the line besides the consolidated twins. The heads
of a number of Saginaw men have been
lopped off during the recent changes,
and Bay City may possibly indulge soon
in the wild dream of a station house

Last Sunday's edilion of the Saginaw
Courier-Herald contains the folio-wring notice regarding this city, and
our people duly appreciate the same,
" The city of Clare is the smallest incorporated city in Michigan, having
1,741 inhabitants, and is also one of the
youngest, the legislature of 1891 having had the honor of granting it a charter. Its tender age and lack of size,
however, do not cut any figure. It haB--.
•more " get there " qualities in -a ___nnt&-*-
than a good many towns have in a year.
Like almost all the towns in that part -
of the state, it had its birth in the Iun_-
bering business, but when the lumber *
was gone it did not twirl its thumbs
like Micawber and wait for something
"to turnup. It promptly proceeded to-
do the turning up act itself, and the-
best illustration of the success of the-'
turning is the fact that lots on the business streets can occasionally be bought
for S60 per foot if one is sharp and
watches his chance. Hon. C W. Perry-
is the first mayor of the city, and among
other leading- business men are A. J.
Doherty, William Wolsky, C. H, Sutherland, Tatman & Schilling', William.
Giberson, H. Razek, J. D. Garland,, W_
