33tf. John Giiikkson
Sack From Arizona
In tin" early pair of tlie week our re-
E3SES" porter learned from what appeared reliable authority, ami made an item to the
effect, that .r. W. f'nllcins, wife and son
('harlie. would ttrri ve at Calkinsville from
Arizona Teititi.ry lust Saturday on a visit
to his iiareut-. other relatives and friends
in Michigan. 'I'liey arriyed at thc appointed linie. via the noon T. & A. A.
train.
Our reporter, in company with several
ladies and gentlemen, went to Calkinsville yesterday and had a wit pleasant
visit with "Tip" and his family. All are
well, and appear hearty and rugged, except Mr. Calkins, who was suil'eriiig a
temporary illness from the effect* of
drinking too much ice-water since coming
north.
Tlieir stay in Michigan is an indefinite
one. Mrs. Calkins and Charley will probably remain in Michigan for three or
four years, so that, the latter, who is a
rugged young gent of 15, may attend
school. Tip says that he has arranged
his business in the territory so that he
can remain until a year from next September, if he so desires.
All of Mr. and Mrs. Calkins' many old
friends and acquaintances are pleased to
welcome their return—they having been
absent two years and eight months. They
expect to come over from Calkinsyillo
this afternoon.
aiiitftcrly Oration toy tt. E, Alvrarcl,
Cf X„uiislii£;.
Hancock Post Gr, A. R., and our people
generally have reason to congratulate
themselves on tho splendid success
achieved on the celebration of Priday.
Taken all in all. the exercises of Memorial Day were far more interesting than
ever before in dure, tlie attendance of
the townspeople and from the surrounding country was larger and the interest
manifested by both young and old was
greater than on any former occasion
here.
It was a beautiful day, Nature smiling
approval on the occasion aud its observance.' As is the usual custom, a detachment of comrades of Hancock Post visited the Vernon cemetery and went
through with the beautiful ritualistic
work of the Grand Army, appropriate to
the day, and, assisted by the good people
of Yernon, strewed flowers upon the
graves of the sleeping comrades there.
Here was the only disappointment of tlie
day. The announcement hud been made,
unauthorized however, that Mr. Aiward
would be present at the Vernon exercises
and speak to the people, and in consequence of that announcement, those who
heard his address two years ago and
others, came out to hear liim. it had
been found impractical to attempt extended morning'exercises and it perhaps
turned out just as well, for all thu people were in Clare in the afternoon, contributing by their presence and their interest, an inspiration which made all
that was done so successful.
At noon a light shower fell, but only
for u few moments, and then the skies
cleared and thc afternoon was perfect.
Promptly at the appointed hour, 1:80, the
procession formed uuder tiie direction of
Jacob Mason, marshal of the day. in
front of G. A. R. hall. President of' the
Day, Hon. C. "W. Perry led the procession, followed by the K. of P. cornet
band, then Post, Commander J. II. Carpenter, and Orator D. E. Aiward, follow

Milliken, a prominent merchant of Traverse City. They compose a committee
representing the Northern Michigan
development. Association, and the object
(if their visit here was to interest the
business:men and citizens of Clare into
jrtitiing the association and subscribing
an amount of stock. They met with several oi our townspeople at the Clare
County Bank just before noon and explained the object and proposed modi us
operinda of the association, which, indeed, is a gigantic and commendable enterprise. If their plan is carried out, and
there is no doul>t but that it will be, it»|

Concerning Home Patronage.
No paper can ba published without
home patronage, and everyone is interested in keeping up a home paper.
If a railroad or factory is wanted, the
newspapers are expected to work for
it. If a public meeting is wanted for
any purpose, the newspaper is called
•upon for a free notice. If any of the
societies have a supper or reception
of any kind, the newspaper is expected tq give tho necessary notice. The
newspaper must puff the schools and
everybody else to advance the interests of the business men of the place,
and then give them a handsome notice when they pass away. And yet
some of them do nothing to keep up
a home newspaper.
Some business men measure the value
of an advertisement by the direct returns
they get from it, and. after a short trial,
withdraw it on the ground that it does
not pa}'. The indirect benefits derived
from keeping the name before the trade
are out of all proportion to the direct returns received, and thc more successful
advertisers are those who keep themselves so constantly before the people
that their names become as familiar as
household words.
The weather conditions of the past
week have been very beneficial to all
growing crops, and wheat, grass, oats,
and corn that is up has improved during
the week. The warm weather of the
latter part of the week has made all
crops boom. The corn is being planted
rapidly and is nearly finished in the
southern section, and the late planted is
growing finely. That planted early in
the month has not done so well and some
of it has been replanted.
"Before we take up the collection
this morning," remarked the good
pastor of h ohurch not a hundred
miles from Alpena,as he looked mildly oyer the congregation, "I wish to
say that we have in the church treasury already two quarts of nickles
that appear to have been punched
through and afterward plugged with
lead. These coins, I am informed,
will not buy stamps, groceries or fuel,
conductors uf street airs refuse to receive them, and even printers will
not take them in pay for local notices. The choir will sing, 0, land of
rest, for theo I sigh."
?d bv a line extending more than si half
a mile, iu the following order:
Martial Band,
Clare Fire Department,
The Clare Public Schools.
Citizens ou Foot and in Carriages.
The procession marched down Main
street to the Alger house, counter-marched to Seventh street and then to the. cenie-
tery where two or three hundred people
had already assembled. By actual count
there were six hundred and thirty-eight
persons on foot in the line, ancl possibly
us many more followed in vehicles. It
was :iu imposing and impressive scene,
such as Clare has never before witnessed,
and wus an evidence of the public spirit
and patriotism of the people that would
have done credit to a place many times
larger than Clare. One interesting and
beautiful feature of the inarch and which
was favorably commented upon by all,
was the splendid appearance which the
pupils of thc public schools made in the
parade, and thc lively interest they manifested in the exercises from beginning to
end. As was said by the speaker at the
cemetery, the good whicli will come to
the children because of participation in
any exercise commemorative of our
country's trials and in honor of brave
anil patriotic men, is one of the grand
results of the observance of Memorial
Day. For this part of the day's success
much credit is due to Prof. Palmer and
liis able corps of assistants, and the children themselves., The band, the Knights
of Pythias and the firemen, wero all in
full uniform and presented a line appearance as they always do.
At the cemetery the beautiful ceremony of the Grand Army of thc Republic was performed and the graves of the
soldiers who lie buried there were decorated, as were also yery inauy of the
other graves. Then the services at tbe
stand took place. President Perry presided. The services were interspersed
with appropriate songs by the Choral
Union, the school children aud by music
by the band. Rev. Mr. Tower conducted
the devotional exercises.
D. E. Aiward, our former townsman,
was the orator of the day. His address
was one of the best we have had the
pleasure of listening to on any occasion
of the kind. It gave evidence of care in
its preparation and sparkled with patriotic sentiment, and contained many feeling
allusions to the times and scenes of the
war that tried the patriotism of both
men and women of the land, when ealled
by their country to make a sacrifice of
themselves or their friends to defend it.
It showed the speaker had a thorough
knowledge of tho events that have made
Memorial Day a marked one in our national life, and his arrangement of thein
made his address instructive as well as
entertaining.
Another merit was the pleasant andi
forcible manner of the speaker's delivery,
which made, it easy for all to hear, and
he kept the" attention of the audience
riveted upon him during the entire time.
This effort added much to the reputation
which Mr. Aiward enjoys of being both
an interesting and entertaining speaker,
and we hope to be able to hear him again
on other occasions in the future.
"With a song by the Choral Union and
the benediction by Rev. Mr. Tower, the
exercises were brought to a close and,
the procession reforming, the great assemblage returned to the village as they
bad come. Thus ended what everyone
present pronounced our moit fitting and
successful Memorial service.

An exchange remarks tbat "the courts
have decidedthat the pedestrian has the
right of way not only on cross-walks but
also on the public streets. It is thc duty
of all good citizens to assert their rights
and drivers be made to respect them
Frequently drivers compel pedestrians
on cross-walks, by an unlinked gait or
fast driving, to run forward or back to
keep out from under the feet of the
horses or wheels of a vehicle. It is ver?
humiliating to the person on foot to run
under such circumstances, and the driver
who is thus inconsiderate of the dignity
and safety of the pedestrian is ill-bred,
and lacks the instinct of gentility, no
matter how well dressed be or she maj'
be or how fine the turnout.''

John Giiikkson Sack From Arizona In tin" early pair of tlie week our re- E3SES" porter learned from what appeared reliable authority, ami made an item to the effect, that .r. W. f'nllcins, wife and son ('harlie. would ttrri ve at Calkinsville from Arizona Teititi.ry lust Saturday on a visit to his iiareut-. other relatives and friends in Michigan. 'I'liey arriyed at thc appointed linie. via the noon T. & A. A. train. Our reporter, in company with several ladies and gentlemen, went to Calkinsville yesterday and had a wit pleasant visit with "Tip" and his family. All are well, and appear hearty and rugged, except Mr. Calkins, who was suil'eriiig a temporary illness from the effect* of drinking too much ice-water since coming north. Tlieir stay in Michigan is an indefinite one. Mrs. Calkins and Charley will probably remain in Michigan for three or four years, so that, the latter, who is a rugged young gent of 15, may attend school. Tip says that he has arranged his business in the territory so that he can remain until a year from next September, if he so desires. All of Mr. and Mrs. Calkins' many old friends and acquaintances are pleased to welcome their return—they having been absent two years and eight months. They expect to come over from Calkinsyillo this afternoon. aiiitftcrly Oration toy tt. E, Alvrarcl, Cf X„uiislii£;. Hancock Post Gr, A. R., and our people generally have reason to congratulate themselves on tho splendid success achieved on the celebration of Priday. Taken all in all. the exercises of Memorial Day were far more interesting than ever before in dure, tlie attendance of the townspeople and from the surrounding country was larger and the interest manifested by both young and old was greater than on any former occasion here. It was a beautiful day, Nature smiling approval on the occasion aud its observance.' As is the usual custom, a detachment of comrades of Hancock Post visited the Vernon cemetery and went through with the beautiful ritualistic work of the Grand Army, appropriate to the day, and, assisted by the good people of Yernon, strewed flowers upon the graves of the sleeping comrades there. Here was the only disappointment of tlie day. The announcement hud been made, unauthorized however, that Mr. Aiward would be present at the Vernon exercises and speak to the people, and in consequence of that announcement, those who heard his address two years ago and others, came out to hear liim. it had been found impractical to attempt extended morning'exercises and it perhaps turned out just as well, for all thu people were in Clare in the afternoon, contributing by their presence and their interest, an inspiration which made all that was done so successful. At noon a light shower fell, but only for u few moments, and then the skies cleared and thc afternoon was perfect. Promptly at the appointed hour, 1:80, the procession formed uuder tiie direction of Jacob Mason, marshal of the day. in front of G. A. R. hall. President of' the Day, Hon. C. "W. Perry led the procession, followed by the K. of P. cornet band, then Post, Commander J. II. Carpenter, and Orator D. E. Aiward, follow , i SATURDAY, MAY 31. :, Mussell's I |
