Last Saturday evening a large number of the members of theM E. church
and friends gathered at the parsonage
to welcome back for the third year
their pastor. The parsonage was
crowded full with the best natured lot
of people on earth. The evening was
spent in merry conversation, music and
refreshments. Rev. Lowe, of the Baptist church, read the Scriptures, and
Rev. Field, of tho Congregational
church, led in prayer. The warm
hearted manner in which the pastor
was received made him feel perfectly
at home. Mr. and Mrs. Tower wish to
extend their heartfelt thanks to all
present for the loyal sympathy and
manner in which they were received,
and may many blessings attend you
through all the year.
Last, week the Democrat-Press mentioned the intended departure of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Brayman and family
from this city, with a view of finding, if
possible, a climate more congenial to
the health of their son, Burt, who has
been ill more or 106s for several years
past with infiamatory rheumatism and
lung troubles. Mr. Brayman, having
sold his property here and arranged
his business aifairs, took leave of this
city, together with his family, on Wednesday morning. Their destination is
MaySville, near the south central part
of Kentucky. They have much faith
in the climate proving greatly beneficial to  Burt's health—in  fact, the
"Why not?" "Because I subscribe and
pay foi* my home paper, and I have
never read your advertisement. Whon
I do I shall give you a trial; for liberal
advertisers are liberal dealers."
C. S. Chase purchased the timber
this week on 480 acres of land on the
T. & A. railroad. The tract lies between Lako George and Temple and is
estimated to cut 1,500,000 feet, consisting of basswood, elm, birch, pine, hemlock and other timber. He will lumber
the same during the coming winter,
having already contracted the salo of
the elm and basswood to Mt. Pleasant
parties.
Tlie Harrison Cleave'' evidently directs the following unkind cut at Clare:
"The boycott placed on the fair by our
neighbor city does not seem to have a
very demoralizing effect upon tho society." Surely, Clare people have
never done anything to work injury to
jthe Harrison fair. The only reason
known why people from the south part
I of the county have not attended in
larger numbers is because they never
have received a very cordial invitation
or given assurance that their company
would be welcomed and appreciated.
All the bad feeling or jealousjT that exists between the two cities is harbored
at the county seat, and the Cleaver seldom misses an opportunity to stir it
up.
That Burt Brayman was well liked
and greatly admired by all who knew
him, as well as interested in his welfare, is evinced by the incidents of the
past week. He had a watch which he
had carried for years and prized very
highly. When he found out that he
was going to Kentucky he considered
the matter and concluded that ho
would rather havo its value in money
and so sent it down town to have it
raffled off. Unbeknown jto him, some
of the boys took the matter in hand,
circulated a paper and raised upwards
of SCO. On Friday night the boys held
a dance at the G. A. R hall, the K. of
P. orchestra furnishing music free of
charge, and another nice little sum was
realized. On Sunday, those who had
the matter inhand, went down to Burt's
home, returned him his watch and presented him with upwards of §80, Burt
was overcome. He said he didn't know
how to thank his many kind friends;
so the boys told him then there was no
use of his trying. To cap the whole
affair, on Monday night about fifty of
his young gentlemen and lady friends
called at his home to pay their farewell
young gentleman himself believes he respects.    Needless   to  say that all
will speedily recover liis old time vigor, present had an  enjoyable time and
and the best wishes of their host of
friends in Clare is that their fond
hopes may be realized, and that their
residence at Maysville will be a happy
and prosperous one.
relished the fruits and fine luncheon
which the visitors provided individually. Burt wants to thank everybody
through the Democrat-Press, and we
promised to do it for him.   So—thanks.
