A J. Doherty went to Cleveland on |    Ed. Crest, Elhoitt Shearer and AL
Wednesday to visit with his brother
and sister, Miss Minnie, for a few days.
Mrs. Doherty and children have been in
that city several days, enrouto homo
after a couple of months' visit in New
York state. Mr. Doherty expects to arrive in Clare, accompanied by his wife
and children, about Saturday.
The Lyceum Dramatic Company are
billed to present "Only a Farmer's
Daughter," a beautiful rustic drama in
five acts, at Doherty opera house next
Wednesday evening. The press of the
cities speak very highly of the play and
the company which presents it, and
thero is reason to believe that it will
prove very interesting. Xo doubt the
opera house will lie crowded, as tho
theatre-goers of thc city have not had
opportunity to witness a performance
in some time. Tickets on sale at the
usual place.
M. E. Avery, recently connected with
Barrows' music house of Saginaw, has
leased tho Stevens' House opposite tho
union depot in this city, and is to assume management thereof next Monday morning. He will give his entire
attention to the business and intends
making the house a strictly first-class
hotel, with rates at S1.50 per day. He
has engaged the services of a professional hotel cook, and will furnish his
tables with all tho delicacies of the season. Mr. Avery is a pleasant and
agreeable sort of a fellow, and there's
no reason why ho should not mako a
good landlord and a success of the
hotel business,
Elmer Halstead, with his wife and
family, arrived in Clare Wednesday
from Silver City, Idaho. He was a
Vernon township farmer until about
live or six years ago, when the western
fever seized him and he conceived a
plan to immigrate, went to Idaho with
his family and engaged to superintend
a large fruit and stock ranch for his
wife's brother. He seems to bo very
well pleased with the country aud
claims to have laid up quite a little
money out of the venture. He says
that his object in returning to Michigan is on account of his three children
and the superior advantages afforded
hero in regard to schools. He will undoubtedly take up his residence in this
city for the winter, providing he can
find a vacant house. Elmer owns an
80-acre farm, adjoining his brother's
(George) place, about -P J miles northeast of the chy. His intentions now
aro that ho will erect a fine house, a
barn and other buildings thereon early
next summer, and stock the farm with
about 100 sheep as the first move. It is
hoped that nothing will occur to deter
him from carrying out these plans, as
this country affords ample opportunity
for settlers who have ideas of this kind.
Randall, of Clare, and W. S. Lamb, oe
Midland, started for the upper peninsula Monday, undor the employ of De-
Vogt, tho photographer of this citj^
They will canvass that portion of the
state during the coming winter, taking
views of camps, mills, logging and mining scenes, etc. Tho work will be finished by Mr. Crest at Watersmeet.
Thomas Dwyer came homo the first of
tho week from Nelson, Ont., a statioa
on the Algona branch of the Canada
Pacific railroad, where he has been for
the past three or four months superintending lumbering operations for the
firm of P. D. Patterson *& Co. Mr.
Dwyer has beeu quite ill since his return and is still confined to his bed-
'Tis hoped that he will be able to be out
again in a few days, however.
Seward Welch, who has been sick
with typhoid fever for tho past six or
eight weeks at the home of his uncle on
west 7th street, died last Sunday evening about 10 o'clock. Up to the trine
of his illness he was in the employ of
the F. & P. M. railroad company as
brakeman on the passenger train "between Coleman and Mt. Pleasant. He

liked and spoken of very highly by
those who knew him. Deceased leaves-
a widow to mourn his loss. Th& remains were taken to Mt. Pleasant on
Tuesday and interred in the cemetery
at that place.
L. J. Calkins, whom nearly every on&"
in this section of the state knows as
" Lee," visited with friends at Clare
and Harrison two or three days this
week, returning home this morning.
He was the guest of his brother at the
Calkins yesterday. Lee did the most
extensive mercantile business over done
in Clare county at Harrison during her
palmy days for a period of six or eight
years, and during that time succeeded
in " salting " something like 825,000 or
S30,000. During that time he purchased
with a part of his money a fine farm in
Gratiot county, located five miles south
aud two miles east of St. Johns. About
two years ago he closed out his business at Harrison and moved his family
onto his farm. Lee is a hustler from.
Way back. He aptly turned his attention from the mercantile business to
the pursuitSiof a granger aud the bar-
vest of his farm this fall goes to show
that he will make this avocation prove
equally profitable to the other. Ho has
erected this summer one of tho finest
bams to bo found in that county, 'besides several other; necessary buildings,
all models Of their kind. He has a
store at the cross-roads on one corner
of his farm, carries a fine stock of, general merchandise and reaps a fine .revenue from this source.
