Wliile to those acquainted with this
young man's condition for some timo
past, news of Ms death will be no surprise, yet to those of the family and intimate friends, under whoso daily care he
had been, his sudden demise on Wednesday was far from anticipated, Wednesday morning he had partaken of a
light lunch, and .informed his people that
ho would remain in bed a short time.
Ho, immediately relaxed into a stupor,
and attempts to arouse him Wero unavailing.  His death was evidently painless.

i?6r three years he has constantly grown
weaker from tho blighting influences of
oonsTtuiptiion. and for- nearly a year his
case has been considered hopeless, notwithstanding every effort has been made
by his affectionate father to bring relief. The young man was a great favorite among his acquaintances, was of exemplary character and generally respected.
The funeral services will be held today
at two o'clock at ths M. E. church, Eev.
A. H. Coors officiating, and tho remains
will be interred in Cherry Groye cemetery.

According to announcement, the agreement entered into by Edwin Eussoll and
James Seoloy, two of Vernon's popular
farmers, was carried out on Saturday
afternoon in this city, in the presence of
a throng ptvimtors who had come in to
sea tha fun. The hour of starting was
announced by a terrifne blast from the
firo whistle, which brought everyone io
the street Headed by Korthey's drum
corps, the parade started up McEwan
street from tho F. & P* M. tracks, Eus-
sel astride the push cart, arrayed in an
antiquated silk tile and one of his broadest smiles, The payor ot the bet was bedecked with a campaign plug, gorgeously
entwined with old-glory, and labeled in
bold typo, "I'm Sad." He also wore a
white sweater, and it is probable tbat ho
sweat, for his passenger had never been
offered the living skeleton's bench in a
dime museum. To the strains of music
aad the yells of hundreds of onlookers,
the procession moved, stopping for lunches at Mason & Boyd's and Tatmfttt'j?
grocery stores. Afc the end of the journey .Landlord Calkins served oysters for
tho participants. Everybody enjoyed
the affair, and the popularity and well
known love for fun by Messrs. Eussell
aud Seeley, added much to the amusement of tho event. The only mysterious
part of tho affair was the Pin gree banner,
which, carried by a Caikinsville merchant,
attracted considerable attention. The
wager was a simon pure Bepublican-Pro-

Shall We Celebrate? -.
Sufficient time has elapsed since Clare
held her last- 3?ouriii of -July celebration,
so fchafc fche nation's birthday of 1896
should be appropriately observedT- By
commencing early a more satisfactory
program could be arranged and afc a less
expense than to put; the matter off until
the eleventh hour.
This city bears an excellent reputation
as an entertainer of its guests, and without doubt an immediate decision to turn
tho eagle loose and an early announcement of a we II prepared program would
attract many strangers within our borders, an acquaintance with whom would
be to our mutual advantage.
A public meeting afc an early date
could decide the matter, and The Coub-
3d__u office is at your disposal for such
meeting.
When shall it be? .

teachers should lead in a work fchafc will
not only bring its reward to fchem but remain as an incentive for future generations to beautify and adorn our fair state.
Our rapidly diminishing forests and
the increased demand for shade and ornamental trees has caused the organization of "Forestry Associations" whose
purpose ie to preserve the forests and
educate the people in the science of
forestry. Theso orgaaizations deserve
encouragement and it is to be hoped fchafc
their number will multiply. This occasion is taken to urge the preservation of
tho shade trees which now stand along
our country roads. They may damage
the growing crop slightly but in boauty,
shade and ^rsfceeiion from the winds,
fchey repay the damage they do many
times over.

Silos for Farmers.
The only silo m the county, bo far as
wo know, is the one owned by John Van-
Meter of Riverside. This is the second
season ifc has been used and ifc is a complete success. The contents of it has fed
four cows and about 30 sheep for nearly
three months and contains food enough
to last them another month.and it all
came off of less than two acres of ground.
That beats feeding hay or straw to cattle
and other farm stock.—Missaukee Republican.
' Dr.L. L. Kelley, of Parwell, has probably the only silo in Clare county, and
considers ifc almost as necessary to successful stock raising as warm stables.
Prom fifteen acres of corn ho wintered
sixty'head of cattle and forty sheep and
has a largo quantity of the ensilage left.
His stock were fit for market any time
during the winter. Partners should investigate the silo;
