A Poor Excuse Better than Kone.
As a private citizen, J. D. Newth
is a good man, and T. P. Horning is
a capital fellow. But as president
and trustee respectively, they are no
longer private citizens, but are public officers, and as such, are legitimate
subjects of criticism. If they do their
duty well, they are entitled to praise;
if otherwise, they are open to censure.
Mr. Newth claims that he was not
asked to sign the ordinances. Perhaps
not, but it makes no difference, and
furnishes a poor excuse for official
neglect. He knew they were passed,
or should have known it, and sjiould
have given his sanction to have made
it operative. The simple facts are
thathimself and Mr. Horning thought
they would not be legal unless signed
by the president, and that therein
they would defeat the will of their
associates. They found out their mistake, and attempied some kind of a
justification. The last session of the
council indicated a change of base on
their parts, and The Press is glad to
note their return to a better way. '
Tlie Villajce Council.
The village council are doing a good
work, as may be seen by referring to
the ordinances published elsewhere
in this paper. Number one is calcu<
lated to free the streets from a great
nuisance by prohibiting swine from
running at large therein; number two
ordains that any person who gets
lU'iuikshallbelieldtoastrictnccounta-
bility therefor; number three requires
auctioneers to pay a fee; number four
regulates tho licensing of peddlars;
nmnbpr five prohibits gaming in publio places. These are just such laws
as are needed, and, if enforced, will
result in material interest to the entire community. At a special meeting held last week, it was decided to
require sidewalks to be repaired by
lot owners, and to repair crosswalks
at the expense of the corporation.
Having secured these results, the1
main objects of the corporation will
have been, accomplished. That they
are needed reforms no sane man can
deny, and it is a wonder that anyone
was to be found who would oppose
them. In this connection it is well
to remember that whatever good
comes to Clare must come from its
own people. No one else wants it,
nor will anyone else bestow it. N^\*
ther will it come of itself, "l\?ff t$$&-

and let us so will it.
A Commotion in CJuurelt.
There was a small commotion in
the M. E. church last Sunday, which
has created considerable comment
during the week. The pastor, Bev.
AV. H,. AVare, preached one of his
usual sermons, lauding himself and
his methods, and berating the majority of his members and criticising their
actions. At its close a member arose,
Mr. P. J. Cleveland, and asked permission to say a few words, whichthe
man in the pulpit granted, provided
that the speaker did nots%y*ari'ythlnjf
disagreeable to the said man in the
pulpit. Mr. Cleveland was a little
excited, aiid said some severe things
of the pastor, whereupon the Kever-
end sir ordered him to desist, wliich
he did, and left the church, with the
assurance of his pastor that "You and
I are now done with each other!"
This episode was the outburst of a
long suffering patience on the part of
the majority—a large majority ofthe
members of that church. Mr. AVare
came here under the most favorable
circumstance.'*. A new chureh had
been built and was nearly ready for
dedication. The people had sacrificed much in their zeal for the cause,
and were in a particularly susceptible state of mind to receive religious
instruction. But Mr. AVare was lacking in the one quality absolutely necessary for a successful pastor—religion—and a difficulty soon arose between himself and choir. This spread
through the church and into the community. Mr. AVare was beaten, the
choir sang, and the Presiding Elder
ordered him to change his course,
wMch he promised to do. The wounds
made did not heal, and Mr. AVare
commenced a series of sermons giving the members fits, of which Sunday's transaction was the natural result. Technically, Mr. Cleveland was
wrong. The pastor had a right to
abuse his members in a set sermon,
but his members had no legal right to
abuse him in return. But morally,
Mr. Cleveland was right, for what
was sauce for the dear gooses was
sauce for the gander.
It is a pity that this should be so.
It is a pity that a minister of the- gospel of love and chastity sbereM not
have more of these *iualities than
this ono soemMftJKassess, who should
rathor- ft "^"^"tfSanel times suffer wrong
thrift io, say even one harsh word.
AVhten this man came here this community was united. Now it is <U**
vided. Old friendships have l*<o"a
broken asunder, strife has b*«i* stirred up, and neighbor iss, Mt^g.-neigh-
bor where before w^'fJRSfie'aB.di good
will. Such is. l&frii'WJ'di of' this man
AVare, a&fl t^WJ-seed that he has plants
Qd. \*8& W^ght forth no good fruit.
I^is^coi-istantiy at war with his bet-
tej,'sr aji<d,' tho sooner his evil work is
5topy*<i here, the better it will be for
society.
"*UUle Graiim of Sand" From tlie
Plains.
Plains, July 16, '79.
—Men, women and children, in
this vicinity—even the babes in the
mother's arms—are compelled to earn
"their bread by the sweat of their
brow" during this very warm season.
—The roar drivo of the Muskegon
river, passed the mouth of the Clam,
July 14th. Mr. C. Field, superintendent of the river, reports that there
are a third more logs in the river now,
than there were last year.
—Decidedly the most cheeky and
inquisitive person upon the Plains, is
the woman wlio went—uninvited—
to a wedding in Summerfield a short
time ago, she found it very necessary
to go to that house to change a ten
dollar bill, and, of course, staid until
the ceremony was performed.
—Summerfield is quite excited over
a wedding Avhich occurred in that
place July 12th, at the residence of
the bride's daughter, Mrs. C. S. Ser-
gent, by B. E. Ballard, Justice of tho
Peace, Hev. Bichard AVilliams, of
AVinterfield, and Mrs. Julia A. Bowen,
of Summerfield, both 7G years of age.
—A new and quite extensive business has been established in the town
of AVinterfield—that of salting cattle
upon foot—the salt* is administered
by the aid of a shot-gun; a new way
has also been found for dressing beef,
that of scalding the hair off while the
animal is yet alive, and it is claimed
by those who should know, thnt hot
water, properly administered, will
drive cattle, if the sound of their bells
are annoying to you; the poor animals aro all recovering from their
wounds, and it is hoped they will
avoid the "slaughter house" in the
future.

A Poor Excuse Better than Kone. As a private citizen, J. D. Newth is a good man, and T. P. Horning is a capital fellow. But as president and trustee respectively, they are no longer private citizens, but are public officers, and as such, are legitimate subjects of criticism. If they do their duty well, they are entitled to praise; if otherwise, they are open to censure. Mr. Newth claims that he was not asked to sign the ordinances. Perhaps not, but it makes no difference, and furnishes a poor excuse for official neglect. He knew they were passed, or should have known it, and sjiould have given his sanction to have made it operative. The simple facts are thathimself and Mr. Horning thought they would not be legal unless signed by the president, and that therein they would defeat the will of their associates. They found out their mistake, and attempied some kind of a justification. The last session of the council indicated a change of base on their parts, and The Press is glad to note their return to a better way. ' Tlie Villajce Council. The village council are doing a good work, as may be seen by referring to the ordinances published elsewhere in this paper. Number one is calcu< lated to free the streets from a great nuisance by prohibiting swine from running at large therein; number two ordains that any person who gets lU'iuikshallbelieldtoastrictnccounta- bility therefor; number three requires auctioneers to pay a fee; number four regulates tho licensing of peddlars; nmnbpr five prohibits gaming in publio places. These are just such laws as are needed, and, if enforced, will result in material interest to the entire community. At a special meeting held last week, it was decided to require sidewalks to be repaired by lot owners, and to repair crosswalks at the expense of the corporation. Having secured these results, the1 main objects of the corporation will have been, accomplished. That they are needed reforms no sane man can deny, and it is a wonder that anyone was to be found who would oppose them. In this connection it is well to remember that whatever good comes to Clare must come from its own people. No one else wants it, nor will anyone else bestow it. N^\* ther will it come of itself, "l\?ff t$$&- out cost. It n\\\^\ 1$ c^m1e,^y.'t^e. fee^ sfowfii, cvf \]^^p^m(k "wo-ae-y-. But ^^V.W^P-^^^ in this manner 4'cWsomething of value to the village."

It ciyi be done if we only will, and let us so will it. A Commotion in CJuurelt. There was a small commotion in the M. E. church last Sunday, which has created considerable comment during the week. The pastor, Bev. AV. H,. AVare, preached one of his usual sermons, lauding himself and his methods, and berating the majority of his members and criticising their actions. At its close a member arose, Mr. P. J. Cleveland, and asked permission to say a few words, whichthe man in the pulpit granted, provided that the speaker did nots%y*ari'ythlnjf disagreeable to the said man in the pulpit. Mr. Cleveland was a little excited, aiid said some severe things of the pastor, whereupon the Kever- end sir ordered him to desist, wliich he did, and left the church, with the assurance of his pastor that "You and I are now done with each other!" This episode was the outburst of a long suffering patience on the part of the majority—a large majority ofthe members of that church. Mr. AVare came here under the most favorable circumstance.'*. A new chureh had been built and was nearly ready for dedication. The people had sacrificed much in their zeal for the cause, and were in a particularly susceptible state of mind to receive religious instruction. But Mr. AVare was lacking in the one quality absolutely necessary for a successful pastor—religion—and a difficulty soon arose between himself and choir. This spread through the church and into the community. Mr. AVare was beaten, the choir sang, and the Presiding Elder ordered him to change his course, wMch he promised to do. The wounds made did not heal, and Mr. AVare commenced a series of sermons giving the members fits, of which Sunday's transaction was the natural result. Technically, Mr. Cleveland was wrong. The pastor had a right to abuse his members in a set sermon, but his members had no legal right to abuse him in return. But morally, Mr. Cleveland was right, for what was sauce for the dear gooses was sauce for the gander. It is a pity that this should be so. It is a pity that a minister of the- gospel of love and chastity sbereM not have more of these *iualities than this ono soemMftJKassess, who should rathor- ft "^"^"tfSanel times suffer wrong thrift io, say even one harsh word. AVhten this man came here this community was united. Now it is |
