— One in whom you have implicit confidence. When you start to invest your savings you goto a banker whom you know to
be honest. When you are in need of groceries do the same thing. Go to a dealer whose
reputation for honesty is unblemished. To
do otherwise is to directly invite disappointment. Go tp a grocer who has unquestionably the freshest, cleanest, and best quality
foods. He has no cause whatever-to be
Otfrerthan perfectly fair. No dealer in this
vicinity is reckless, enough to claim that he
has a store better than ours, Its brick ^foy

ARTHUft J. LACY.
Nominated for a second term as mayor of this city,
should be elected. To him is due the credit for
the inauguration of the crusade for better streets
and better sidewales. Every citizen knows that
solely through his exertions was popular feeling
' aroused for the removal of every defective walk,
and fot the construction of permanent walks in
place thereof. Time and again has his pergonal
business been neglected during the .year to giv9
time to the consideration of projects for bettering
the city's commercial conditions. Not one dollar
of salary does he receive, yet during his term he
has expended many dollars in entertaining and
presenting the advantages of the city to those who
. have contemplated locating • here. If no other
considerations entered into the claims of Mr. Lacy
for a second term, common courtesy would at least
demand that the voters express their appreciation"
of his' efforts by retaining him as their chief executive officer. The Coubiee does not believe that
the people of Clare will deny Mr. Lacy that which
is, in all decency his right—a second term.
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN- THE- CALLAM AFFAIR

statement has been distorted with the glowing headline, "Another
.Campaign Lie bailed," I wish to explain that Idid riot authorize*
such heading _£nd would not have published such statement had I
known it would have appeared in that form. Mr. Doherty came
to and stated, that their interests in no wise •conflicted with "Mr.
Callam's. Knowing that such rumors had been in circulation, I
WROTE THE article at His SUGGESTION, not for any political
scheme, but the assurance from Mr. Doherty that there would be
no opposition to Mr. Callam's enterprise.

Jt is unnecessary for The Courier to present at any length its reasons for believing that the candidates upon the Democratic ticket
are entitled to the votes of the electors of this oity on Monday next.
So fierce has been the struggle to inject national politics into the contest, that each and every candidate
is known to every voter. It is a
matter of common comment upon
the streets that the Democrats have
in the field the best ticket, ,ia. a
whple, thatjijis over been placed be*
fore tlie people of the city. The
candidates thereon were not selected because of their beliefs in certain
national policies, nor because they
have at some time performed a
party, service that deserved reward.
They were nominated because of
their peculiar fitness for the office,
and the most ardoht Republican
concedes this point.
There seems but little doubt at
this time that Mayor Lacy will be
re-elected. That aldermen be" chosen
who can act harmoniously with him,
all voters will see the necessity of.
Messrs. High, Holbrook and McKeever are representative business
' "tarea. Who  have llargfe interests in
the city. The integrity of- each i
beyond reproach, "and they can be
depended upon to care for the city's
interests in the same careful manner they deal with their personal
affairs. Though a comparative
stranger, Mr. High comes with the
highest recommendations from his
former home. In the face of an"
overwhelming. Republican majority
he was elected to office several
times, and always gave the best of
satisfaction. His business keeps
him ih the city constantly, and with
the business the city must deal with
during--the coming season, it is very
necessary . that, the aldermen be
ready for call at any time. "
Geo. McKeever is too well known
to need'any introduction. Ho will
make' a model aldel'man, and his
election is almost a certainty. In
the first ward the "people have the
opportunity to honor one of her. citizens who not .only lives therein but
whose every business interests is
therein confined. Mr. Holbrook has
always defended the interest of his
ward and has an especial pride in
seeing the south part of the city
flourish. His election will be no
mistake.
For sttjr©rvj.scjr& Messrs* ;Ls<* Jen
nings and Jackson have made a
record they may^wellbe'proudof.
"While Mr. Lee has never been supervisor, yet his record upon the
council warr&uts the people in enr
trusting that position to him. Mr-
Jennings is running for a second
term. He has a clean record, is
well known and has a host of friends.
No fault is found with Mr. Jackson
as an officer, but he is being bitterly
Mr. Jackson's- property interests in
the city warrants the voters of his
Ward in believing him to be the best
suited man for the position. There
should be no question, in the minds
of the people of the third as to who
should represent them as supervisor. Mr. Jackson haB done it
honestly heretofore and'will again
if re-elected.
The city clerkship is an Important
office. The qualifications :of Geo.
Benner .are well knoWn. His office
is.so situated as to be aecfessable at
all times. Bookkeeping is' his profession, and he can be depended Upon to do his full duty ;if elected.
The affairs of the city could not be
placed in better hands.  .
John Kirkpatrick, nominee for
treasurer, is especially popular a-
mong the laboring men of tho city,
and bears, the highest esteem of all
who have been so fortunate as to
make his acquaintance. He. is a
poor man, worthy of the position,
and who, if elected, will fully merit"
the confidence of hi& constitUentf.-.-
The office of justice of the peace
is of great importance. The liberty
of persons charged with crime'.is in
the hands of that officer, and the interests of litigants must be protected by him. That official, if of3 the
kind that honest men want, must be
a man free from moral taint, honest, law abiding and competent. In
Frederick Fishley the Democrats
present such a man,   His honor is
above reproach, his daily walks are
those of a law, abiding citizen, and
he is eminently qualified for the
position. If the voter will consider
the importance of the position and
the" duties thereof, he will have no
hesitancy in giving Mr. Fishley his
hearty support.
For constables, Messrs. Depotty,
Price and Loundra, are well known,
and eaoh is qualified for the duties.

J. LILLIAN FALK.
At her home on west ?th street,
on Monday afternoon last, and after
a long period of patient suffering, J.
Lillian; beloved wife of Frank'Falk,
passed to her reward, aged 31 years,
eight months and ten days. The
funeral was held from the home on
.Wednesday afternoon, conducted by
JRev. A. L. "Woodloek, and the mortal remains, now rest at Cherry
Grove.
J. Lillian Converse was the only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. L.
Converse, and was bornatPierpoint
Manor, Jefferson.Co., 2SF. Y., July
20,1871. Tin 1873 her parents located
in Vernon township, Isabella .Co.,

Lucius M., of Vernon. Her education was obtained in the schools of
Mt. Pleasant, Big Rapids and Glare,
and she. commenced an umisjially
successful career as a teacher at the
age of.sixteen years. Jan. 15,} 1895
she was united in marriage Iwith
Frank Falk, of-= this city. Of the
eight years of their married life -all
has been spent in this.clty except
two years, when they were in Mt.
Pleasant. Theirs was a home of
sunshine and happiness. Mrs. Falk
enjoyed the highest esteem of count
less acquaintances, At the age of
fourteen years she embraced the
Christian religion, and her life was
devoted to doing good and convey-

to the afflicted. ~ Her happiest moments were in the performance of a.
Christian duty. She was an active'
member of the Congregational
church, and at her death held important offices within the class  and its

is most deeply deplored by the society with wcieh sho has so long
been prominently identified. Her
last illness covered a period jjf nine-
weeks, and her sufferings "were
borne with a fortitude which spoke
. ui»m€a j.Oj. net xuilH m me immortality of the soul. She passed a-
way with a loving smile and a song
upon her lips, and awaits iri that
Heavenly home the coming of those
near and dear to her.
The funeral was largely attended,
and the floral tribtueB from friends
and neighbors testified to the esteem
in which she was held by them.
The Courier extends to the
mourning husband and family its
deepest sympathy,

Through The Couribu' we desire
to convey those friends and neighbors who expressed their sorrow by
kindly words and generous assistance, during our, terrible bereavement, our most heartfelt thanks.
