ASON Bl
Convention of the Grand Chapter O. E. S,
Mrs. Mary J3, Pa-crish, and Mrs. Mary
B.Po'Vogtaa delegates, and Mrs, Y,
Freideborn and Mrs. Sarah 1j. Kramer as
visitors, returned this morning froW the
convention of the Grand Chapter O. E,
S., of Michigan, thoroughly convinced of
the necessity of such an organization,
Subordinate chapters owe their growth
and prosperity to the counsel of the
grand chapter and its officers. In fact
there would be but little uniformity in
the work of tl|e order without the deliberations of that body. The grand W,
M„ Louise M.--Turk"in her able and~oom--
plete Address mentioned a few chapters
whose work had not been excelled by
any—and among* those few was Zenobia
chapter, 129 of Clare. In the interesting
address of the grand W. P. was mentioned the regal manner in which ho and
those aiding him, in instituting new chapters were treated. The general grand
secretary was in attendance and favored
the chapter with appropriate remarks.
She mentioned Michigan chapters as
ranking with the first in the land and
that they figured conspicuously in the
national convention. The last session
was held in one of tho beautiful lodge
rooms of the Masonic temple. After the
session ihe ladies -were invited into their
commodious dining room, to parttike of
one of the finest banquets prepared by
the Masonic bretbern of Saginaw. Their
politness and gallantry could not be excelled. The Grand Chapter duly appro
ciates the attention paid them by the
Saginaw brethern?   Mas. S. L. Kbamer.
Here's The Secret.
A shrewd and careful observer will be
able to discern the secret of so much
trouble in the marriage relations of the
present time. A man who suddenly and
unexpectedly leaves his family and deserts a wife whose life might have been
one of joy and not of grief has in the
majority o£ cases been duped by some
vile paramour. He has been transformed in the same manner that in Shake-
spear, was declared of Mark Antony, of
tho time of Caesar. The woman who
finds greater attraction^ away from her
family than in her awn home c'rcle, has
usually met with a wiley deciever, who
has made h&e uelieye that phe is more of
an angel than honest convictions would
dare attempt to do. Is there no pr6tec-
tion from the evils occasioned by the proceedings of these "weak minded men and
women? Our legislature would do well
to refer lo the Divine law book for a
remedy. A Subsobiber.
School Notes,
Another Pioneer Gone
James Duncan, Sr.. of Vernon township, died Sunday at his home, aged 79
years. 6 mos. Death resulted from a tumor. He located in Vernon 20 years ago,
when that township was the heart of a
-vast forest, and amid the privations of
pioneer life and by dint of industry carved
for himself a line farm. He was thefath-
er of seven childrenr bis -eldest daughter
having died fifteen years ago, and six
survive him, with bis beloved wife, to
mourn bis sad departure, Jas. Duncan,
of this city, is the youngest of tie family.
The last rites were performed at the Congregational church -Tuesday afternoon,
Bev. S. A. Long1 officiating, and the remains were laid to rost in the city cemetery.
Mr. Duncan was born in Scotland and
arrived in this country in time to participate in the McKinsey or Patriotic
wardn'1837.

Mr. Jenny visited several of the rooms
this week. He spent the greater part of
the forenoon in the high sohool listening
to the recitations. It is very encouraging
to both pupils and teachers to see the interest manifested in our progress'by Mr.
Jenny. If only thisinterest were eoatag-
ious the parents who do not now visit the
sohool would desire to come and see for
themselves what now they know only
by rumor.
While taking notes this week we noticed a very uBique design on a side board
in the first intermediate room. Each
month is represented by a calendar on
which tho daily weather is noted by appropriate symbols, such as a white flag
for a pleasant day, an umbrella for rain,
akit«for a wmdy day, etc. September's
calendar is emblemized by drawings of
various clusters of fruit while October's is
adorned by autumn leaves. This design
is used in connection with the oral geography and the pupils take great interest
in watching the changes of the weather

A Good Work.
School<fommfesiorier A. G. Banctaij'"or
Calhoun county, has inaugurated a work
that is unique and has never before been
undertaken.- It- is the writing up by the
pupiks in the district schools of the history of tbe neighborhood and the pioneers.
Tho scholars have entered into the researches with a zest, and all of the old
pioneers are being interviewed. In several districts the scholars haye travelled
several miles to ascertain facts connected
with the early settlement of the locality.
Already much material has been collected
and some of tho incidents from real life
are more interesting than the creation of
fiction, and would make good newspaper
articles. This movement is the'first of
the kind in Michigan, and is proving a
success. The Coukier would suggest
the work for the schools for this  county.
Should be Re-appointed.
One of the duties of the board of supervisors at its session next week will be to
appoint a superintendent of the poor, the
term of A. W. Mclntyre now expiring.
In the distribntibh of the membership of
this board the successor to Mr, Mclntyre
properly belongs to Clare, and Tni) Co"trh-
ibb takes pleasure in urging that the
supervisors make him his own successor.
He has so successfully filled tbe position
during the past six years that the people
irrespective of party or creed unite in
favoring his re-appointment. Supt. Mo.
Intyre has been a most 'painstaking official and careful guardian of the public
funds, and the supervisors could make
n6 better selection.
Clate. Honeywell has gone to Detroit
and the south part of the state for a two
week's visit.
M. F. Bobinson and Mrs. Dr. Kelly go
to Lansing next week as delegates to the
grand lodge of Oddfellows.
The principal of our schools is still in

Big Bapids is filling his ^ace.
Orin Case, our genial butcher, has purchased the A. E. Bhode-j stock of groceries, and will contiaue business at the old

The village dads are still in the dark
as to the ownership of their Hibbing
property. Clark has filed a bill to have
deeds set aside.
Bev. Mr. Delvin attended the Christian
Endeavor at Beed City and t reports a

B Cory has sold his farm of 4Q aores,
one mile south of town, to a man from
Bay City. Mr. 0. starts for Georgia in
about two weeks to join the old soldier's
colony.
The case against Sam. Beed for swearing that his best girl was 16 years old in
order to get a marriage license, when she
was only 15, was thrown out of court by
Prosecuting Attorney Quinn because the
girl sworo she told Beed she was 16.
