Walter Blondin a laborer em
ed in Bust's camp was thrown off a
load of logs Monday afternoon, striking his head violently against the
frozen ground and producing concussion of the brain. It" was at first
thought that the accident would
result fatally but latest reports are
favorable to recovery. He was taken to the Flint hospital.
A defective chimney in a South
side tenement house owned by Henry Trevidick and occupied by John
Dunigan, caused a fire Monday morning. Owing to the fact that a large
number of voters were at the polls
over the engine room, the engine
was quickly got to the scene of the
fire and it did effective work, soon
extlngushing the flames. The damage to building is estimated at $200.
Np insurance, Bunigan's household goods were all -'removed and his
loss Is nom;

"In the light of recent developments at Harrison we are constrained to believe that the remark attributed to J. L. Potts in the late campaign that the admission of certain
ones to the bar of Clare county was
"a disgrage to the bar," was one of
the soundest propositions that Mr.
Potts ever laid down.
One ofthe firms to whom Zemon
& Sable gave a chattel mortgage on
their stock,® has commenced a suit
against Sheriff Graham to recover,
the amount of the mortgage. Most
of the legal questions Involved in the
Zemon <& Sable trouble will come up
iri the trial of this suit and both sides
will make a sort of a test case  of it.

A watch is an article not purchase
ed everyday and not ueccessarily
more' than once in. a life time.
Therefore it behooves a careful man-
'ager to take great pains in selecting,
when about to make so important a -
purchase. In the first place it is
best to go to a dealer who is not on«
ly willing but anxious on account" of
preserving his own reputation, to
make good all defects and fully pro~
tect the purchaser. A dealer who
can give you a. positive assurance
that you are paying only reasonable
prices, one who does not strive to see
how cheap an article he can sell youy

The salvation army is trying to Jon for the least  money.    Such a
dealer is Mr. Ed. A. White of Clare,
He always does even better by his
patrons than he guarantees; making good any defects with cheerful
alacrity, and treating them in every
respect as a'thoroughly reliable and
trustworthy dealer. He boys of th®
same houses that Saginaw and Be«

can sell you the Bockford, Hampden^

any grades. His whole stock is of
