Mrs. Jas. Walsh and children started

They are so low

The following obituary notice has been
suggested as ©he whieh would be just
the right sizetlfor several of our "prominent citizens: "Beneath this stone
there rests a man who'll keep on kicking
all he can; he kicked while he remained
on earth, com-mencing : at the hour of
birth-, he kicked so hard, he kicked so
high, his heels would' sometimes scrape
the sky; and when lie reaches heaven's
gate, he'll kick because no street cars
wait; when a silver harp he'll hold, h e'll
lack because it isn't gold." "
Talk about busy establishment! A
Democrat -reporter was very much surprised upon happening In Woodworth's
tailor shop, due day the first of tlie week,
to see the business being done in that!
locality. There were four busy at work
beside "Mr. Woodworth, who, with his
coat off was pitching into the work as
were the others, with a zeal that lent a
business like air to the department. "Mr.
Woodworth has secured the services of a
first-class coat maker, and the work they
are turning out now Is not surpassed
any where in the State. The new and
nobby swing styles and suits turned out
by this establishment are giving general
satisfaction, and undoubtedly is the
secret of his rush o| work. You should
not fail to give Mr. Woodworth a call if
you arc contemplating purchasing clothing for -yourself.

After our forms were, ready for press
this morning a rumor reached us thafi
the surveying party of the T. & A. AQ
railroad were iirtown surveying land for
the depot and yards and that work will
be commenced next Monday morning la
this place and at Mt. Pleasant on the
road-bed. A reporter of the Demogsai!
at once proceeded to investigate the
rumor and found that it was true In
every particular and that work would he
pushevd from-now until the road is flaish-
eel and cars running to this place.
', Supt. Carling.has ordered picks, skov°
els and all the Implements necessary
to commence work at once and is ready
to engage a large force of men and teams
to commence work. . All wh©
wish to engage work will apply e&rly as
possible.
Thus it will be seen that what tike
Democrat has claimed all , the time
has come true and Clare will
\ soon hear the scream of the whistle of
the T. & A. A. engines within its horr

Bros, sold 250,000 brick to-parties in
Clare,.a few days since. The brick are
yet to be made. Thej** expect td start up
their yards with a full force on Monday
if the  weather    permits.
Al. Smith received a severe thump
Wednesday which has confined him to
bed for the past couple of days. He was
engaged in moving a building for A. E.
Webber on 7th street, when a brick from
one of the chimneys became dislodged,
rolled oil'the building, striking him on
the forehead and cutting a yery ugly
gash.
Another new enterprise is about to be
started in this village. B. Muscott and
George Grover have leased the mill build-
ing, on the west ofthe village located on
the railroad, of George Boom and will
put in new machinery throughout for
the manufacture of chair stuff, peeyy
stocks, broom handles and all articles of
this description. The machinery has
been ordered and is expected, to arrive
this week. It will take two or three
weeks to get the mill in running order.
We embrace the opportunity to inform
the general public that we are now better
than ever prepared to execute promptly
and in first-class style, every description
of Job Printing, such as Sale Bills, Circulars, Dodgers, Cards, Wedding and
Ball Invitations, Programmes, Checks,
Xotes, Tags, Labels, Orders, Deeds, Receipts Bill Heads, Letter Heads, jSTote
Heads, Statements, Envelopes, &c, at
prices to suit the times. Give us a call,
see specimens of our work, learn prices
and judge for yourself.
The first thing that strangers note in
coming into a city is the condition of the
streets. If they are straight, clean and
have good walks the stranger is favorably impressed. If the yards that line
the streets are neat and well kept, though
they may not be expensively decorated,
the impression of the thrift of the people and the beauty of the town helps him
to decide the question, and say, "J will
settle In this town." The ofiieials of the
city have their work to do in ordering
the streets kept neat and clean, and the
sidewalks kept in repair. The citizens
have their part to do in keeping their
door-yards clean. Every person has a
work to do«in making the city present-

Two saloons bonds were approyed by •
the council at a meeting last evening-—
that of Fred Hiekey as principal, with
Alfred Louch and Samuel Young as sureties; the other was the bond of Oliver
Beemer, with C. W. Sterns and Geo. Bar-
rus as sureties. :
An Evart and Cadillac delegation were
in Mt. Pleasant the iirit of the week consulting with J. M.  Ashley  in  hope   of
securing the T. & A.  A.  railroad.   Mi\
Ashley's reply was to the effect that "the
company had 'decided to push the road!
direcf through to the straits of Mackinaw, but if Cadillac people would offer
sufficient   inducement,    the„   company
would build them   a  road  through  to*-
Frankfort and if they so desired it could'.
be called the main line, but that the company had decided to make a direct line to
the straits and there the road was to go."
There is not much danger but that Clare
will get the T. & A. A. yet.   The reason
that work has not been commenced is because  the  Evart sore-heads have been
] writing to the financiers of the road and
the company have been delayed in get-**
ting money.
This   is an old merchant's opinilon*:
"I have always made it a rule to begin
advertising my fall or spring specialties
earlier than any one else.   It is great to
be looked upon as a leader in trade.    It
takes time  to  win  this  reputation.   I
never follow anybod}**.   I advertise more
extensively when others think it does
not pay, and I cut down my advertising
when others think it pays to keep before
the public, but I never stop advertising
altogether, I am too smart for that.    I
tried it for a time and gave another man.
a chance to get in his work and make me
follow him.   I never will do that  again*.
It is the greatest mistake that a business
man can make to advertise' spasmodically.   He wants to keep pushing his goods
day hy day right in front of the public0
He might as well close his store during
the summer as to stop advertising.   It Is!.
on the same principle."
