the Decoration Day Ex.ereiKj._5r Clare the
Most Succeisfui Held in Yearti
The three thousand people who
participated in and listened-to the
Decoration Day program in this city-
last Saturday were highly gratified
at the success made. The weather
was all that could be desired. In
addition t'Jtihe.-en.t-ir-a- population, of
the city, which was out to pay tribute to the memory of the dead,
hundreds were here from the surrounding country and neighboring
towns,- and a large portion of them
joined in the procession to Cherry
Grove.
At nine thirty o'clock the line was
formed at the park, under the direction of Chief Marshall Ward. The
first division" was headed by the
Clare city band, which organization,
in all the exercises of the day, deported itself in a most creditable
manner. Following the band-came
about sixty grizzled Veterans, the
Mexican veterans in carriages,
presidsnfeof ths dsy>2s.s'<*,Qr1 speakej*
and common' council in carriages.
The Dover band was at the right of
the second division, followed by the
fire department, public schools and
citizens.
Within *a shaded nook near the
centre of Cherry Grove a stand and
seats had been erected, and the program, was enacted as previously
published. In introducing tbe program President Alward paid an eloquent tribute to those defenders of
the country who had made the sacrifices necessary to "the preservation
of the union. He read the first
Memorial Day order, issued in 1868
by General John A. Logan, and
which highly appropriate ceremony
has been observed each year since
in a great majoTfity of the states.
The singing by Misses Dunwoodle,
Giberson and Mrs. Beeder, fell upon
most appreciative ears, and the
ritualistic ceremonies by D. J.
Brewer Camp were of the most impressive character. That immortal
.document, President Lincoln's Gettysburg address, was read by Mayor
Lacy, after which the orator of the
day, Hon. Frank L. Fowler, of
Manistee, was introduced. Very
early In his address the large audience was convinced of the truthfulness of all that had been claimed
for him in the previously published
arv|-»r,nr»/».vr.-i.»**r-ci        IJiX**.     "*^,/%TOris1*     -rind-
gesses to amarked degree that force
of expression, pleasing personage
and brilliancy of a polished orator,
and his discussion of the causes and
effects, the sacrifices made for and
the benefits derived from the civil
war were of a most masterful ch^r-
:j{cter..... A-~hi_g.h--w4.nd r±which, Jiad
arisen early in the day made speaking in the open air extremely difficult, and he was obliged to cut his
address short. The only fault found
with the speaker was the briefness
of his address. •
The return march to the city was
made with the Dover band in the
lead. At 12:30 the exercises had
been concluded, and everybody had
words of praise for the able manner

reason to be.
Of the monies raised for the expense, the committee reports a surplus of $16.00. The citizens contributed with great liberality, and were
well satisfied with the program.
The reading of Gen. Logan's order for Memorial day, was of especial interest to one veteran in the
audience. Gapt. J. H. Gardner, veteran of the Mexican war, was upon
the staff of Gen. Logan at the time
of the issuance of the order, ahd
heard its first reading.
Supt. Eiggs and tho teachers of
the city schools, were the recipients
of many congratulatory remarks
upon the excellent showing made.
The lower grades , were out in full
force, each child carrying a flag,
and the little people kept ln line in
splendid order.' ■ The lessons of tbe
day to the rising generation are of,
manifold value.
The Dover band requests The
Courier to express its thanks to
the citizens of Olare, her band and
the committe efor the courtesies extended during the day. The people
of Dover havo a personal pride in
Cherry [Grove, aud the band feels
that by participating in the exercises they but performed a duty encumbent upon them as good citizens.

Two weeks ago The Courier
commented upon the action, of the
action of the township board of
Grant in the matter of permitting
cattle running at large in the township. Supervisor Stoll states that
the comment was, incorrect, insofar
as it intimated that the board was
opposing the matter. , After the
vote by the people to prohibit cattle '
running at-large, there was nothing
the board could do to oppose it even
if the officers were so inclined. The
correction is cheerfully made.
Next Tuesday afternoon ' occurs
the third contest between the Marion and Mt. Pleasant base ball
teams. Each has won a game, and
Tuesday's battle promises to wax
warm from the start. It*-will be
played at the park in this city,
wjhich is now being put in shape f or
the visitors, and a large crowd of
rooters is expected from both towns.
The game will be called at three
o'clock p. m., Mt, Pleasant people
having arranged for a special train
to take them5 home after1 the game.
