>Mr. Louch died last Sunday
morning at the age of Go years, one
month aud twelve days. His illness had been of a spasmodic nat-
ureifrequenrly confining him to his
home for a few days, but not until
the week prior to his demise was it
regarded of so serious a nature as to
warrant the belief that death was
approaching. The surviving son
and daughter Were present at the
last hour, and it was a comfort to
the father to be thus cheered by the
presence of his nearest of kin dur
ing the period of his departure for
the other world.  ■
The funeral was held from the
home on Tuesday afternoon, conducted,by John Q. Look lodge, F &
A. M», the sermon being delivered
by Bev. W. J Frost. The Independent Order of Foresters and Olare
Fire Department had present delegations, and of which organizations
the deceased had long been a valued
and efficient member.
Mr. Louch was born in London,
Eng,, Dec. 21st, 1842. During his
youth he came to Ontario, where he
settled in Port Rowan, and on Dec.
2_th, 1872 was married to Mary
Oridland and with whom he lived at
that point until 1882 when they removed to Clare, remaining here a
few 'Months and removing to Harrison where Mr. Louch foiioiveu the
cobbler's trade until 1887, when they
returned to Glare and. continued their residence. To the couple
were born four children, two of
whom passed away some years ago,
as follows:
A. Leslie (deceased) N , ..
Frank R.
Louie B,
John (deceased)
Mrs. Louch died April 30, 1904,/
beloved and respected by a large
number of friends.
' Since the death of the wife Mr..
Louch ha« steadily declined,' and iiie
hope of prolonging hia life has for
months been remote. -As a m&ra,-
ber of the fraternities mentioned;
and as a fireman and department
treasurer he was ever faithful and
reliable, and his^loss will be keenly
felt by them.
Other veiatives who 'survive are
as follows:
Richard and Geo. LoUoh, Ontario'
Joseph, in Oregon, brothers
Mrs. Richard Corner. Marion
Mesdames H. Raymond,  Francis
Taj lor atid.J. Day, Ontario,(sisters)
Geo.   Oridland. of Oass  City,' a
brother of Mrs. Louch, arrive 1 too
late\for the funeral*.
The Coubieb joins with the many
friends of the family in extending.
sympathy   to   the mourning rela;
jtives, and especially to, the  surviving daughter and son.

Commissioner- Welch Appears to Have Some
Opposition.
Temple, Mich., Feb. 4, '07.
Editor Courier,
Clare, Micb.
I note in your paper of the
1st inst. that you say, "E. G.Welch,
the present school commissioner,
claims to have-an open field at the
Republican convention to be.held in
Clare on the 12th."
It does not surprise me in the
least that the present commissioner
thinks he is the whole works, the
only oyster, in the can, as it were.
Really it looks as if he thinks that
should he go west the east would
preceptlbly tip. „
Now, Mr. Editor, allow me to say
through the columns of your paper
that there is in Clare county another
man,—a Republican from the
ground up, not a silver plated Deni-
crat, but a true blue Republican
that never voted anything but his
party ticket, whose qualifications
are beyond question, whose reputation stands forth a bright and shining light to all the world and without spot or blemish. He has not a
singlepad h:abit",~haB never been- accused of a wrongful act, either in
public or private life. If nominated, "he will be satisfied with the
salary tbe county through its board
of supervisors feels itse'f able to
pay- He is selfmade and who by
the strictest attention to his work
as a teacher has eudeared himself
to the community,'
Such  a   young map is John  F.
Brown, of Harrison, and at present
one of the county board of school
examiners. .., '
Very truly,
v ■'   ' : A Republican.
• The seven rural free delivery carriers from the Clare postoffice were
The Courier's guests at a dinner
given in their honor at Mrs. Burch's
cafe on Tuesday evening, apd everybody there seemed to be tilled with
a determination to enjoy the event,
and enjoy"il^iey" did^ ^Badli" car^-
rier was accompained by his wife
except Fred Hudson, who reported
that Mrs. Hudson was caring for a
sick relative in the north part of the
state and could not accept the invitation, Aside from those mentioned there were at the tables The
Coubieb office force, Mr. and Mrs.
A, J. Lacy and Mr. and 'Mrs. Can-'
field. The illness of Postmaster
Kirkbriderrtade impossible his 'presence and the ex-mayor was pressed
into service to fill Mr, Kirkbride's
part upon the program.
The dinner served by Mrs. Burch
was one of the most toothsome ever
placed before any company In Glare.
The menu was not elaborate iii any
special feature, but tbe expertness
displayed in its preparation disclosed to the guests that the jolly
landlady is no novice when directing the culinary department of her
dining rooms, Following was the
menu:    '
Oyster stew Gold meats
Tomato relish Cabbage salad
Pickled Pears Raspberry Sauce
Buns Assorted Cake
Tea Coffee
Following the discussion of the
bill of fare Mr, Canfield assumed
commandrarifj called upon several to
respond with short talks upon subjects pertinent to the work, of the
carriers, and this feature of the
evening proved most enjoyable.
To enter upon report of the various
phases of the carrier's life would
take more space than is at our command, but it is proper to say that
those called upon acquitted themselves admirably, in fact it is true
that there are several within the
corps who have just claim to more
than ordinary talent along the line
of speaking at such- gatherings.
The gentlemen disclosed a broadness of spirit in connection with
their duties that does credit to
themselves and to their employer,
Uncle Sam.
Following is a list of the carriers,
and whose photographs we hope to
be able to present next week:
No. 1—Fred Hudson.
No. 2—Bruce Williams.
No. 3—John Grimason.
No. 4—J. B. Brown.
No. 5—Will Bowier,. :
No. 6—Dennis Cross.
No. 7—Floyd Johnson.

To The Courieb attorney 1. A_
Fancher, of Mt, Pleasant, appearing
for the local optlonists, discloses
that at present he is waiting for the
arrival of Rev. Strickland for instructions as to future prdceedure
in the Glare county matter. To Mr.
Fancher's mind there is some doubt
about the validity of all the proceedings in this county, and he is
anxious that|the matter should go
at once to tlie supreme court for
final settlement." In fact, according to Mr. Fancher, tlie time for
giving notice is very short and the
process above outlined is about the
only one that can be followed.
The attbriioy for the liquor interests this week gave out that in any
event-the matter would betaken to
the highest court, therefore under
present conditions there is little lik-
lihood oE the question coming before'the people this spring..
A SWUM BLAZE!
Department Battled With Much Smoke
and Little Fire for Two Hours.
Anderson Drug Store the Scene and Blaze
Enterely Confined tc Bate.T.tnt.
The fireman were called to Anderson's drug store this morning for a
small blaze in the baBement, and
which originated'from thawing a
pump. The smoke was bo dense
thaf not a man could venture therein until the volume of smoke could
ho released; .1
Aside from water and smoke damage the loss is light.
The insurance wns SI000 on stock

which commends an institution of
its character to any community.
The new home of this bank is especially adapted to the needs of the
general public as well as to tbe comfort of those In charge. President
Lister has -well uiuiinaineu his reputation since establishing the enterprise, and he now ha? the satisfaction-of knowing that the' public
have so far appreciated his efforts
as to make possible the removal to
more coinixmdious quarters, at the
same time enabling him to provide
numerous new conveniences for his
patrons.
The room occupied by the bank
has been especially fitted for bank
ing purposes. * The new vault is a
two-stcry one, providing ample storage in the basement, and upon the
ground floor provides room for thn
time lock safe and bank books, and
in another compartment provides
safety deposit boses for the son-
corn's customers, and of the easiest
possible access. The desks and furnishings are of natural oak, highly
polished, the floor is covered with a
handsome pattern of lineoleum,
while the walls are decorated in the
latest patterni3 of paper, and fresco.
Mayor Benner, who presides as
cashier, will have his insurance office in the rear of the bank, aud J.
R. Goodman continues as teller.
The institution in all its.- various
departments and appointments is
most conimendable to Its owners
and. a credit to C*are and Glare
county.  •    . .
