And you will see that I can
plain why
I SELL SO CHEAP.
ggTThe truth of the matter is
that I sell large quantities of
goods. If you sell $ioo per day
at a profit of io per cent, you
make $io. If you sell only $n^
a day, you must have a larger per,
cent profit, and if you gain 50 per
cent of thc $10 you have only $5.

Loomis correspondence of the Mt.
Pleasant Tribune: A load of Clare
roughs gave us a loud call on Sunday
evening last (12th), flourishing their
whiskey bottles and using improper
language on cur streets. The ring
leader of the gang informed me that
one ought not to squeal as that load
represented the elite of Clare. God
have mercy on Clare if such is the
fact.
"C. A. S." in writing to a neighboring paper that "the Clare Pbess man
talks of organizing a boycotting club"
uttered a deliberate falsehood. The
Clare Pbess nor the Clare Press man
has talked of any such thing. If
some people would exercise a little
common sense in reading, they would
perhaps understand that in stating
a fact, openly discussed on our streets
that "they (certain ones who feel
themselves agrieved) talk of boycotting them (certain other ones who
did not choose to comply with the
wishes of the agrieved parties) in
their business," this paper has not
even intimated a desire to engage in
boycotting. Because a newspaper
chronicles the fact that a citizen is in
failing health, it is hardly fair to infer that its editor is conniving at the
man's death. The Press recorded
simply what a reporter heard talked
on the street and in the stores. "C.
A. S." does The Press an injustice
which he ought to be fair enough to
acknowledge.
Mark Smith late of Farwell
moved to Ionin.
A canning establishment would fill

Coroner Davis went to Farwell to

Work has been resumed on the jail

Farwell as soon as it is completed.
The Exchange note! at Harrison

Mackensie the soap man who was
arrested in Canada for complicity in
the county treasury robbery confesses

Miss Annie MeMichae! of Farwell
gave a party on the evening of the
16th instant, very pleasantly entertaining ii number of her friends.
Rev. Mr. Wright the new minister
at the county seat, gives promise of

the people have been longing for.
Sheriff Graham went to Greenville

Zemon & Sable's store in this village

F. H. Tupper U chief engineer, D.

Wheat is now being harvested in
this county and the yield promises to

8:30 a. m.—Gen. Grant died at 8:08
this morning, surrounded by all his
family. The end was peaceful and

for a glass of water at 3 o'clock.

A writer says that it is a fact, established beyond successful denial,
that a thoroughbred Short Horn or
Hereford steer will cost no more to
raise than a native, and that at the
same age it will weigh more and
command a more ready sale at a better price.
Having been warned of the raid
contemplated by the Clar6 county
bar association this week Wednesday
the people living in the neighborhood of Houghton lake corralled all
their personal property and took to the
woods for safety. It is said that the
lake is all there yet, though considerably "riled" because one ofthe Harrison attorneys persisted in acting upon a strange idea that got into his
head to wash himself, just to see how
it would seem. Seriously though, the
legal picnic was a jolly affair and no
person who attended has canse to regret that he was there.
Thus passed away one ofthe greatest captians of modern times. Military critics may differ as to his character and ranic as a militrry commander, but in the face of his achievements any attempt to belitile his military ability is idle. As a statesman
also he won scarcely less honor than
as a soldier. Judged by the standard
he held a placo in the affections of
the people of this country which was
equaled by no one t.\«.ept -Lincoln,
j and his record as tlio leader of the
Union armies which crushed the rebellion, and as the President twice
called to govern, will leave him an
undying name in the proudest chapters of our hiatory.
