People Believe [fiat ihe County Farm Should
be Made a Farm, and Not a Resort
for Indigent People.
That The Courier has voiced the
sentiments of a large majority ofthe
resident taxpayers of the comity in
contending that it's time to commence farming upon county account, is evident from expressions
heard from almost every section of
the county. The. Harrison paper
sees fit to charge the agitation to
Clare newspapers, while not specifically .opposing the idea. So far
as this paper is concerned we are
•not dodging -the question. It is
-claimed that the present farm of
fifty-one acres possesses all the
fertility demanded, and "if—so all
that is needed is as* much more of
the same kind of land, when the
county should hire a superintendent
by tlie year, stock the farm with the
best varieties and proceed to farm
as every successful farmer proceeds
There are sixteen Inmates of the
county house now, with many more
clamoring for admittance, and the
fund is $300 overdrawn, and the year
not yet nearly closed. It is clearly
the duty of the county to care for
its indigent citizens and their
families, but there is nothing in the
law which denies the county the
privilege of using such persons as
much as possible upon a farm which
eav\ . .of lloocf. .inrniai- a     r*fiT*f irv« „—jv£
fbods needed for sustenance.
The supervisors meet on Monday
next and will probably take the
matter under consideration.

COFFEE
Coffee was used as a beverage in Arabia more
than six hundred years ago. Its production was confined to a very limited area in the Yemmen district of
4* that country. The coffee gro.wn in this small district,
has always been known as Mocha. Coffee was first
introduced" into the Western Hemisphere "in l?f0
when a French naval officer brought over a single
plant and set it out in the west Indies.   -From this

.For the greater portibn of twenty-
five years Albert M, Howard was
a resident of Clare county, his home
being in Winterfield, and his reqent
death will come as a shock to his
many friends. But a few months
since he located in Owosso, where
the end'came.
' Mr. Howard was born in Washtenaw county on March 1st, 1834.
When two years old his parents
moved to the township of Bennington, Shiawagse coun-ty, where he
remained until 20 years of age. He
attended the Academy at Lodi,
taught several terms of school, and
at the age of 26 was united in marriage to Miss -Christian .Dippy. To
this union came seven children,
three of whom are living, as follows:
Mrs. F. M. Meyers, of Pellstpn; B.
F., of Detroit, and Grant,* of Chicago. '

field Mr. Howard held many responsible positions and always gave an
excellent account of his stewardship. He was orie of the early commission which had charge of the
county exhibits at the state "fair,
and was,a consistent believer in
the ultimate development "of Clare
county as an agricultural and fruit
district,

.Of the possible attendance upon
the institute this week, taking* into
account the teachers of the county,
a most I'emarkablo condition is dis-
closed, Of "''0'v.e'"_4y-^*9^6^""''"Soii6ol'
rooms in the couuty, seventy-six
teachers are enrolled at the institute, and those in charge pro-.
■B_____rn.ee- it_i.P bo the b_a._.t__-atteiLdauc_e;
ever seen under similar conditions.
It is evident that the teachers of
the county either yalue the institute as an institution of value,
or regard the days set aside for this
purpose as possessing an opportunity for a vacation. It i's to be hoped
that t'he first mentioned idea prevails arid that the sdhool ma'ams
and school masters who have come
regard the event as one of value to
them in their profession.
Profs. Burnham and Miller are.
working faithfully to make the
meeting a success, and iii their
efforts'they have the sympathy of
every believer in true education.
Clare ha? long been pronounced
as the ideal place of the county in
which to hold such gatherings, and
it is THE Courier's hope that this
assemblage will measure up to the
hopes, of the teachers .pf the "county
in every particular.

SUPERVISOR^ NEXT WEEK!
Supervisors Open Annual Session Next Monday, Willi Unusual Amount of Important Business Before Them.
The twenty-two supervisors of
Clare county will meet in annual
session at the .circuit court room in
Harrison on Monday next, and tlio
deliberations of that body will be of
unusual importance to the people of
the county. Besides the routine
work there will cqme before the
board several matters" of more than
ordinary importance, aniong which
is that of the county farm. From
alt information obtained it is evident
.that a majority of the' board agrees
with the Clare newspapers in the
necessity for a complete change of
policy regarding ' tyie ^county farm,
and important legislation along
ibis lineis confidently looked for.
Whatever may be the change ordered, it cannot but be an improvement
upon the present situation, ..and
prominent members of the board are
insistent upon such changes as will
place the farm upon a basis nearer
self-supporting than at present.
The question of highways will
come in for serious consideration,
and the plan of dividing appropriations for, this purpose ia accordance
with township valuations will take
up considerable time.
"Who will be chosen fort he important position of chairman is
problematical, there being several
names mentioned, though no active
candidates seem to be in the field.
With but seven Democrats upon the
board the minority party cannot be
'regardod as dangerous, hence our
Bepublican friends will have things
their own way.' *
"With the amount of work in sight
itappears doubtful whether the session can be concluded within one
week, as many of the old and active
members are missing this year, and
the new supervisors cannot be* expected to enter upon their duties
with that knowledge of affairs that
has in the past expedited the work
to an extent that has made possible
final adjournment within six days.
Services ft Success.
Don't fail to hear Mr. Sayles.
In xnany respects he is tha best
Evangelist ever in Clare; so clean;
such nice language; so plain and
yet so intertaining arid kind. He
seems to take the very text that we
want-to hear about. For instance,
last night he took, "Weighed in the
balance and found wanting." It
was a fine meeting.
The afternoon Bible readings are
the best,, no ranting about certain
doctrins and hobbies but clear cut,
and helpful.
Sunday afternoon will he a meeting in the chuich at three o'clock
for men only. Boys under 14 years
of age not allowed.
Mr. SaylaS will show pictures to
illustrate his' address. . It will be
worth your, while. Mr. Sayles will
also preach Sunday morning and
eve; His songs will be illustrated
in the eve, with pictures on the
screen. . •

The tale of Wednesday's game of
foot ball is told in the above,
Ithaca, was too heavy, too well
trained and too expertin the science,
hence the Clare were entirely outclassed. During the game an almost steady downpour of rain
dampened the ardor of players and
spectators, but. Clare rooters were I
glad of an excuse for silence. The
visitors were a well behaved and
gentlemanly set, and we trust ,we
well treated throughout by their
