Our village, (Mt. Louis) with a-population (hypothetic-ally) of i>,200, can
probably boast of more places of business than any other town of its size in
the State, and yet trade is far from
being- substantially overdone. Below
wc enumerate a few of the general
business places in town: There aro
twenty general grocery stores and
places where groceries arc sold, ten
dry goods stores; two clothing houses;
three hardware's; two jewelry stores;
four millinery stores; three drug
stores; five hotels; two restaurants;
nine saloons; four wholesale liquor
houses; oue beer bottling establishment; one bakery and confectionery
store; two banks; three livery establishments; one grain elevator; two
saw and planing mills; one grist mill;

—Over 100 majority for removal of

—Detectives are looking a fief the
town treasurer of Vernon.
—Clareis to have a new town hall
costing a thousand dollars.
—The Claro Rand-was out senuind-.
ing the candidates Monday evening.
—A quieter town meeting never
occurred in Clare- than the one held
Monday.
—The Rev. K. 11. 'Edwards, Sunday
School Missionary, of Owosso, ir>holding revival meetings in Clare, with a
view to increase tlio Raptist Society.
—Tlie entire Republican ticket in
this town Avas elected, except the
commissioner of highways. Ourpopu-
lar ex-sheriff, Wm. Parish, was the
lucky man.
—The road tax tbis year amounts
to one per cent. Let the famieiV
have good roads and lot-.' of them,
which is a sure way lo build tip a
prosperous village.
--The spring term of (he Clare:
school opened Monday, with thosame

■ -The election of llobt. F. Johnson
as Supervisor, of Sheridan, meets with
the approval of all who know him.
He is a man of good ability and will
serve his town with credit,
—With \u> sneakiest look and
twangiest twang, Mr. Green cried-out
—"G-o-o-d b-i, I'm goin' lo Il-c-1-l-.s-

he would fetch up at the first part of
it!
—Mr. C. 1 lall, the lawyer lobbyist of
Detroit, has lost his grip on Clare
county. A big majority is•givejiibrt
the removal of the county seat. Once
upon a time Mr. E. Hall 0\vut_£larc
county,     ^ _ . *- *: - - j
seat to Rudd Lake, a new era of prosperity will dawn upon Clare county.
The agricultural interests will be developed and the political atmosphere
purified.
—M. O. Austin, of Clare, wns elected constable by just two majority. If
his uncle, Mr. Barnes, had received
thegovernorhip la«t fall, by that majority, he would have been even better pleased than his nephew.
—Though John Post was defatted
by Albert: A. Shaver, for Supervisor,
he need feel no chagrin at the result.
It was a question of party, not of
merit. As between these two the
people had little choice, and would
have been equally satisfied with either, as men alone. The Republican
party simply desired a Republican
supervisor.
—Tuk Pitkms was elected to office
also. At the town meeting Monday,
it was voted lo publish the proceedings of the town board in this paper,
and pay for the same out of tlie
contingent fund. The vote was unanimous and given so heartily as to assure us of their good will. Mr. N.
Bicknell has our thanks, and the
credit for his thoughtfulness in calling attention to the matter.
—Cur eslueined friend, W. Sam.
Cooley, Esq., justice of the peace, is
loo modest by half. A young couple
called upon him recently lo unite
them in the holy bonds of wedlock,
and it made Iho justice blush as red
as—as—awful red—clear up to the
ends 01 his cars: He said he didn't
want to make the ministers mad, nor
create any hard feelings, soke Jcfone
of them do tho job. It was done with
neatness and dispatch, for a moderate
consideration, and all were happy.
But the 'Squire would insist upon
kissing tho bride.
—Someday The Prk.sk will publish a scries of articles which it will
entitle "A Politkal History of Clare
County." It will commence at about
the year 1ST2, when Geo. L. Hitchcock, Hiram Woodruff, and others,
who claim to be straight republicans,
bolted the republican ticket and set
up one of their own. It will toll how
they defeated the party, how they

thousands of dollars in building a
State road for the sole benefit of Far-
well, how Mr.-E. Hall lobbied the

paid for it by Mr. Hitchcock, the
treasurer, his other- brother-in-law,

To keep the brake applied to all these
to insure honest measures and down
weights, requires the services of
four churches.   Three public schools Sheridan paid every dollar of the sum
take care of the educational interests
of the town. Ten doctors provide us
with physic, and nine, lawyers carefully watch the scales of justice to sec
that they weigh evenly and alike to
all,—St, Louis Herald,
to build up Farwell and ruin Clare.
Such is a brief outline of a conspiracy
which should forever keep those men
out of office, and so on down to the
present day.

>*ot satisfied with its previous efforts in that direction, the Farwell
Register of last week again opened
upon us its batteries of abuse. Some
time ago the editor of the. Register
sued for peace, and entered into an
agreement to let the whole matter
drop. Next day he rushed up to
Clare, showing part of au affidavit,
which, he claimed, had no relation to
the matter already published. That
was false. He has violated his agreement. He has lied about us wilfully
and maliciously, to crush out opposition. Failing in his first effort, he
proposes to keep it up. Xow he can
answer to tho law for his conduct.

We never could see why when a person tried to be a man some person

If Ave arc not greatly mistaken, the
late attempt of J. S. Iloldon, editor of
the Farwell Register, to crush out his
rival, the Clare County Press, will result in his own destruction and the
building up of his rival. By the villainous means he has employed to
root out all opposition to him in the
county, he has gained nothing but
the contempt of all fair thinking men,
and whatever may be thought, hereafter, of Goodenough, less will be
thought of J. S. Holden.— St. Louis

fare-well, Mr. Green.
Mr. W. W. Green, the lawyer of
the nasal twang, has left -the county
for the county's good. He has gone
back to Hillsdale, whero he can live
on liis ma, and eke out a livelihood
with varnish brush and pot. Gone
lo pot as il were. Gone, but not forgotten. Mourned by the ring whose
tool he was, he will Jong retain a
Green spotintheirmemory. He was
a man of great parts—part clown and
part fool. He knew a good deal—for
him. He Avas very smart—and made
his clients smart, too. He could talk
louder, blow longer, lye faster, and
eat more than any man ever known
in Ibis ffcclioii. He was a genuine
carpet-bagger, and always carried it
with him. He was religious, and
good—good for nothing. He could
make a great temperance speech, and
drink a pint of whisky at once. He
was always kind—kind of soft, and a
tear of sympathy generally dangled
at the end of his nose. His feet wero
big, and well-filled, but liis head
Was small, and quite empty. In
appearance, he resembled Barnum's
What-is-it, aud looked very much
like a traveling side-show, though in
reality ho was a whole circus hiipself,
from clown to jack-ass. Biit his greatness was nevCr fully appreciated, except by a chosen few, who saw their
own likeness dimly reflected in him.
They sought to emulate his highness,
but came far short of their model.
Failing in this, they sent him. adrift.
They would not tolerate among them
a man greater than they, so poor Mr.
Green had to go the way of ait old
ami useless tool, he was thrown away,
and cast amlc. Who will fill his vacant chair remains to b.e seen, but
there are several candidates.

I
State was republican, Uu> county it- |
publican, and having received nonii-l
nations, I bey wen! electcsi!l to all the;
important   positions.   They had all)
the machinery under (heir control.'
They and (heir offices .for their own ;
personal ends.   ThCy-J'oruicd a little
ring of their own, worked for each
other,   benefitted   each  other,  aud
spent thousands of dollars from county funds among tbeuisclves.   "Themselves first, the public last," was.'their
motto, and they lived ftp toil wholly.
But things look a change.   They (
were lc-rt out  by, their  parly,  and j
turned out by tbe people.   Without j__
officelh«y were nothing.   They must.
havo it.   They sought all means to,
secure it.   They packed the convoiw-
lions, they bullied the dclcgalcs, and j
when not nominated bolted the regu-J
lar ticket and set one up of their own
lo oppose; it.   They were republicans
only in name, republicans only for
office, republicans only for tlie most]
selfish of selfish   ends,   Give  them
office, and then they wore republicans;
refuse  them  office,  and they wore
ready to kill the  republican  party.
Office,  office-, office was what  they
wanted, and they seemed devil possessed to gel it.   Their desires were
frustrated.   Tbe people hail lost confidence in liiein, and the best men
they could possibly put up was sure
of defeat. To-day 1 hey stand condem-
ecl by the people- as unworthy of trust.
Their influence is gone, their numbers are few, and they will soon sink
into the oblivion which their own
conduct so justly merits. .
On Monday last, they met another
crushing defeat. Possessing theparty i
machinery, they endeavored to make
nominations; republican iu name, but
