Tho ''pine barrens" and "sand
plains" of Clare county have been
listed at the state fair as among the
most fertile lands of tbe state, In
competition with all the older counties, Secretary Butterfleld, Of tho
fair, writes The GouKHMt that.'Clare
was   awarded'   third    premium on
gTfiiu^~an"a"T"e"getaDie5'.—xir am urns-
siflcation of counties, Clare was
placed with the-'older and entirely
settled,,_ and' the award of third premium is a splendid endorsement for
the county', The exhibit was hastily accumulated, and by reason of
the early dates was not up to what
could have been shown had the fair
been two weeks later.
Our neighboring counties, that

Clare as a sand county will please
take notice that the claims we have
made for years have been substantiated by a practical test, and Clare
tah.es its place among thp best counties in the sta.e.

No citizen of this city had more
friends or will be more greatly missed than will the deceased. He located in Clare in 1886, and duringall
that period he has been prominently
identified with the city's growth'and
material interests. His business
haB been that of dealing in shingles
and all kinds of timber products,
and his acquaintance extended over
a large portion of central Michigan.
Through the kind-heartedness and
generosity of l-ur. O-'DonaiC* many a
resident of Clare county has been
assisted in finaueial advances and
other ways that have made it possible for them to get a.start.

'it will u'e femsmbs¥odr-is: thsi-seniai
iand  successful  minstrel manager)
aud'promises to bo one of the strongest dramatic attractions that will
appear hore this season.   While the
play is drawn on the melo-drainatic
lines it differs widely from the ordinary offerings of this character inasmuch   as the piece is taken from
life and is said to be true to nature.
The   story  contains   a strong plot
which grows  in intensity  as  the
.pla-y'is unfoldedj ample, wholesome
: comedy, thrilling climaxes and nu-
,-merous    pathetic   scenes,     Every

-^Messrs. Sun andJWler have spared
neither time, work or money in the
selection of people ahd scenery, etc-.,
for this production.    Some idea of
tho amount of scenery used will be
conveyed when we say not onepiece
of scenery outside of the drop curtain, is employed  belonging  to the
theatre.    All special scenery from
tho scenic studio of M. Armburster
& Sons, Columbus, Ohio.   Tho cast
is all that -could bo desired.    Thcr-s
will be no advance in prices during
tho engagement.   Seats now on sale

The constant rains of the week
have caused the wheat fields to be
deserted. Threshing machines are
"stalled" in the mud, and farming
is generally suspended. History
does not record 'such a continuous
rain as ever having fell in this, section of the stato before at this season. Tho boan crop is badly damaged, and some injury to potatoes is
reported., though it is not probable
that It wMbe,,serious.
Circumstantial Evidence contains
none of the "claptrap" or blood and
thunder element. Visually dished up
with the ordinary dramas of today.
It* theme is pure aud elevating and
tho story teaches a stronjgmoral
lesson which is hard to forget.
