Mrs. Wm«. Badgley  Passes
From This Life Saturday, February 17th
■ '■ '    a   ' i
In the death of Mrs. Wm. Badgley,
of Herrick, which occurred Saturday,
February 17th, th it community Iobos
one of ita^ very earliest settlers and
highly respected citizens.
Elizabeth Presley wus born in Ontario, Can., Api.il 22nd. September
15Qh, 1809, sh9 was united io marriage
to William Badgley at Bogartville,
Ont, 'to thia union were born seven
children, four ot woom have preceded their mother to the Great Beyond.
The deceased was a merabe- of tbe
Methodist cijureh, the Woman's
Home Missionary-Society and the
Woman's Foreign Missionary society.
Until her health failed her she was a
sino'ere* and active, cburch worker,
always ready to do her part in contributing to the poor or afflicted. ^At
home she was a faithful and devoted
wife and mother and her many
fciends, both ^qung and old, will
grieve her departure.
Besides tbe husband she leaves to
m mm their loss, three children,

' Dance—At Duncan,*!, ball Friday evening immediately following tbe
baoliet ball gameo.   Bill 50c.
Luire 19:11-26 S. S. Lesson Feb. 25th
Jesus wasvon his way to Jerusalem
for tbe last time, and many people
thought him about to set up a Kingdom, just as people have for centuries
looked for him to set up his Kingdom. This parable teaches that it
will be long before He comes. Our
duty is not to be" figuring out the
date and to keep looking out to see,
bnt we are to do the work he .would
wish-to find us doing when he comes.
In this*lesson ten men receive a
pound eaoh, abont $16. It was not
much. Every one now has a little to
work with. Will each be faithful?
Is the thonghfc here not how much
will they gain but will they be faithful in their trust, The Christian life
is not doing some great thing especially, but rather doing the thing God
wants as to do whether it be great or
small. Are we doing our best? In
this lesson one pound gained one
thousand and another five hundred
per cent before the Master returned,
That would take a long time. One
man kept his pound and gave it back
.to the MaBter, he did nothing. The
Master gave the pound to the man
whose'pound gained ten others. Dse
a thing and it grows. Use makes increase is a law of nature. The person
who is faithful in a small trust is
given a larger one. Now notice this
last man. He did no good witb bis
pound. That was bis gift, capital,
material or thing to work with. He
did no special harm. He kept tbe
pound nice and clean, "laid up in a
napkin," a nice little man. Each
person can help make this a good and
Christian nation by being faithful to
God with what we have, just where
we live.
Men in and around Claf.fi, you
bankers, merchants, farmers, ail this
is personal, what are yon doing to
make tbis nation and Olare better
and Christian? Bo you go to church?
Do.you diake any effort we can see to
improve.the town? What do you do
anyway? Ia your "pound" kept
nicely in a "jaapkin."'' It was along
time before the Master returned.
Your Master will return aome day
and there will be a reckoning.

The members of the congregation
or the Baptist church got wise co the
fact that their pastoi; was to regiBtsr
another milestone on life's journey
and in an informal way called at the
parsonage, Wednesday evening to
help him celebrate the occasion.
Rev. Milberry was completely Unprepared for this observance of his
fifty-third anniversary, having only
made arrangements for the usual
Wednesday evening Bible class and
was very much surprised when a
goodly number filed in to extend
congratulations and wish him many
happy returns of the day.
An original poem contributed by
Mrs. Roy Comer was of great interest and was followed closely as it
waa read by F.,S. Shepard, Mrs. A.
J. Olute, in behalf of the friends,
presented Mr. Milberry with a purse
of money as a token of regard.' Mr.
and Mrs. M. S. Wymer contributed
to the pleasure of the company with,
a nunjber of interesting songs.
A pleasant and profitable evening
closed witb refreshments.
The poem follows:
Sympathetic Greetings
I wonder if my good friends knew
That I am courting ^dr. Flu,
They'd bring  me cheer when I am
blue,
Just like good Baptists oughc  -0 do?
The Doctor sent me np some pills,
And I sent 'em down to cure my ills:
I didn't care about the bills
I had too many acnes and chills.
My fever soared to high decrees,
One day I'd roast, the next I'd freeze.
And   how   I   blow   and   cough   and
sneeze
And try to talk bnt only wbeeze.
When folks get careless they must
pay.
(I seem to have to, any way).
But all the same, this much I'll say,
"I'm.getting better day by day".
Lest you forget,—this I'll unfold,
Today, you're fifty-three years old.
These nnoouth Greetings may seem
bold,
But sympathy, these few lines hold,
I'm sorry that you're ageing fast
—But youthfulness, can't alwayB last
And Father Time, your hopes  will
blast
When juvenescence is all past.
Because of the extremely heavy
snowstorm of Tuesday night? and

rdary'14th, was attended by only a
small number of delegates, tjOne from
the southern part of the county being,
able to get there. This did not serve
to dampen the spirit of those attending, however, and a harmonious convention resulted, in which the delegates wbo were present extended 10-
the delegations, who were unable to-
attend, the credits, that were, conceded to (belong to. them, which was-
made manifest in the selection of the
delegates to attend the state convention at Flint Wednesday of this week.

Ground Hog Day.
By I. .M. Guessed.
We.ve always heard oar fathers say
That Friday, last,  was" Ground  Hog:
Day:
And if a shadow the hog should  see,
Six week's longer our winter would be.
Now, some Ground Hogs are eO contrary    t .'
They will go ont in February:
So they niust earn a big pay roll
'And buy an extra load of coal.
They'd be "better off,  had  they   all
stayed in,
Then ho need to replenish  an  empty-
coal bin:
Bnt some day perhaps (at this I am
.   guessin')
These careleea Ground Hogs will h»v&
.   learned a good lesson.
