As a sequel to the Cornwell-Bicknell
wedding, at which both were guests.
Miss Letta Flynne, a ward of Miss
Jane Cornwell, of SanFranclsco, ,Cal.,
and Mr. Arthur R. Martin, of Jackson, were united in marriage Sunday
afternoon June 29th, at the Cornwell
Cabin, Rev. H. B. Johnson, of this
city performing the ceremony.
These young people were not tc

a 'joke on their friends they carried
out their plans somewhat in advance.
tions with the guest of the evening.
He related the work that himself anc)
ing the dinner, music was enjoyed by  Mr. Reading   had *_ accomplished,   in
those present: Leslie Osborn, our accomplished young musician, having
charge of the same. After enjoying
a sumptous dinner, all sat back to
listen and Bray did listen, for it was
uniformly said at the conclusion of
the banquet, tbat never before in the
memory of those present, had those
called upon responded to* the occasion
•so admirably and well.
Jos. F. Bowler was toastmaster, and
at the beginning read a letter from
Judge Ray Hart, regretting his inability to be present, owing to important litigation that was then in
progress at Flint, where the Judge is
holding court that rendered it impos-
•slble for Turn to he present. He assured the people   of   Clare,   that   it
v>
making Clare county a better place to
live in and brought tears to many
eyes as he portrayed Mr. Reading's
homo life, surrounded by his wife and
lour children, and of the sacrifice he
was making in leaving a lucrative
practice for the betterment' of his
family. Mr. Tatman spoke feelingly
also of what this county was losing,
when we lost,such a man as C. A.
Reading, and by wishing him God
•3p?ed in his new undertaking, fittingly ended with the beautiful words,
"God Bless You."
In behalf of his friends Geo. V. Collins in a few well chosen words, pre
sented Mr. Reading with a beautiful
iishing rod, assuring him as days passed   into   weeks,   and   weeks     into
would be a pleasure to be able to be!months , and    months    passed    intc
present to-pay his   regards   to    Carl | years, his friends    in    Clare    county
Reading for he personally knew that
Mr. Reading served the people of
Clare county faithfully and well, that
Ills honesty of purpose and conscientious desire *to do right has won for
him the friendship and confidence to
all who know him.
The first speaker called upon was
our distinguished townsman C. W.
Perry, who has been associated with
Mr, Reading in their practice of their
profession for the past sixteen years.
Mr. Perry spoke very touchingly of
many little incidents that happened
during those years and concluding remarked, "Mr. Reading we have grown
to know you, and to know you is to
respect you, and to love you."
School Commissioner Aldrich. followed Mr. Perry with "Reminiscences". Mr. Aldrich talked as one
inspired. Carrying his audience back
to the days of his young manhood
when but a boy, he was elected
County School Commissioner of this
county, and of his association with
people of the county up until the present time. In beautiful language he
pointed out the fine qualities of Mr.
Reading, as they appeared to him
after twenty-two years of association.
Mr. Aldrich knowing the guest at the
time he came to Clare County as a
teacher. Modest, cultured and unassuming, Mr. Aldrich likened Mr. Reading to the character in the beautiful
poem, "I Live in My Hut by the Side
of the Road."
In introducing Rev. Milberry, the
toastmaster spoke of his coming tc
Clare county about three and one-
half years ago. During that time he
has gone up and down the streets ot
Clare, and in and out of the homes
throughout the county, and by his
genial attitude and his love for fellow man, won for himself, Rev, Mil'
herry, the respect, admiration and
love of all the people, irrespective of
religious oi political affiliations, The
Reverend gentlemen clearly demonstrated his ability as an after-dinne:-
speaKer. Time and time again he was
interrupted with prolonged applause.
Mr. Moore, of St. Clair, Michigan,
candidate for Lieutehtant Governor,
attending the banquet as guest of
Representative Richard Emerson,
gave two beautiful readings Which
were very much enjoyed.
Superintendent Gumser spoke of
his relationship with Mr. Reading
along educational lines, stating that
the true worth of Carl Reading was
well known hy the great majority oC
people in Clare. Mr. Gumser told
how he regretted seeing Mr. Reading
leave Ciare, for he himself knew
what this man had heen in all these
years to the schools of this city.
Wm. Neithercut, Attorney, son of
Mr. and Mrs. John, Neithercut of
Clare, formerly of Sheridan township,
'was the next speaker. Mr: Neither-
cut drove the entire distance from
Flint, returning the same evening in
order*to be present at this hanquet.
During his college days, Mr. Neither*
cut won distinction as a public debater and the manner in which'he re-
spdnded to his toast, convinced the
audience that he had not lost any oi
his ability.
The last speaker of the evening was
James F. Tatman, who responded to
the toast "As We now Him". Mr, Tatman done himself proud in the manner he handled this toast. No other
person in Olare,. in.*all( these years was
closer to Mr. Reading than Mr. Tat-
-jnan and he spoke feelingly indeed, as
lis related incidents of his    associa-
would at all times look forward with
pleasure to his return to mingle
again with loyal friends that he had
made while a resident here.
Mr. Reading, with a trembling voice-
responded. He spoke of what Clare
meant to him; how he had come to
Clare as a boy; how he had met the
girl that later became his wife; how
his children were all born in Clare;
the loyal friends that were his and
his regrets at leaving Clare, which
will always be home to him, but the
opportunity presenting itself as it did
and realizing the educational advantages for his children led him to make
the change.
The beautiful words spoken of Mr.
Reading by the leading citizens of our
county and elsewhere, leads everyone to know that he was every inch
a man, and what greater things could
be said of him were he to live
amongst us always.
CLARE FIRE BUG
HAS POOR LUCK
Sets Fire  to  Residence in First
Ward  and Then   Suddenly
Disappears.
Late last week Thursday evening
someone for spitwork, grudge or
other gain filled a box full of excelsior, ilothes and burlap, poured gasoline over it, pushed it under the rear
porch of the John Woodward tenant
residence occupied by Mr. aud Mrs.
Wm. Hitchcock and family, on south
Maple street and touched a match to
it. Luckily John Rodabaugh, a close
neighbor, who was up doctoring a
severe toothache, saw the first glare
of blaze, but in spite of an electric
light being on that corner, the person
disappeared before he could open the
door and get out. Had the person
crossed the road in any direction he
could have been seen.* John quickly
pulled the box out and aroused Mr.
and Mrs. Hitcncock. Aside from the
porch being slightly scorched, no
damage was done.
City and County officials are making a thorough investigation and expect to bring the right one to justice
within a few days.

Bride's Gown Exquisite,
Unusually lovely was. the bride in
an exquisite gown of White chiffo'i
over georgette crepe, embroidered
with pearls.and crystals, and fashioned on straight lines. The bodice was
sleeveless with a low round decollet*
ege and oram.ented with a design of
pearls, from which hung a deep fringe
of crystals. The same motif was
used on the skirt, which was moderately short, the fringe being deeper,
coming to a point diagonally at both
front and back and slanting upwards
on either side. An brnament of pearls,
circled with orange blossoms, out-.
lined the waistline at one side, and-ai
cascade of chiffon hung from the right
shoulder at the back, forming a train. .  .        /   •

"ISN'T IT FUNNY"
Mr. Michael:—
I am going to do better by you than
you did by me. I am going to answer
ycur questions. Thanks, Tom, for
calling attention to my personal appearance, hut Tom I have been sc
busy attending my own business thai
I have no doubt been a little careless,
but Tom, don't you think sit is more
important to have something under
tne hat than to have it on straight.
You ask did you and Reading seil Jack
Jerred's farm on long time with a
small payment down ? ' No. We nevei
had his place listed, and know noth
ing about the sale. Did you sell Jack
a house, etc? No. Neither Mr. Reading or myself had any conversation
with Mr. Jerred regarding a house
until he came to have the papers made
out. We did have it listed however.
Did a court make us get his farm
back, or get his" money out of the
house? Positively, no.
Now, Tom, is Jack Jerred an incompetent? Possibly to a person
chuck full of their own egotism. Jack
may seem so, but to his neighbors he
is an honest man who has made his
own living, kept out of debt and hat
never'had a ."mbscriptiou taken up
for. him.
Did you sell a $300 house to a blind
preacher? No. Tom, the house is for
sale. Try and buy it and see if it is
a ?300 house.
Tom, Mr, Shilling has been one oi
my best friends and a friend of my
parents for nearly 40 years. • A long
time for a man to keep a friend,isn't
it, Tom? He preached my father's
funeral sermon and only a few weeks
before his death ne did the same
for my mother. When on his death
he'd he sent for me to make a last
request. I suppose you would like to
know what that was. ■ I was with Mr.
Shilling when he died.
Did we buy the Bauer farm? Yes.
Did we char.ge a commission for selling it to ourselves? No. Did we
have it listed? Yes, it had been listed
for some time. Did we sell It to Mr
Stephenson for ?5000? Yes, that is
the only one you and Rumor had
right.
Now that was a very funny article,
wasn't it, Tom? But you will have to
admit that it was darn poor argument.
Only two things in which Rumor was
right, the selling price of the Bauer
farm and -aif personal appearance.
Say Tom, when I Was out in Montana a number of years ago, I received a post card that had an excellent
motto on it; It is some what crude'
and strictly western. It is "Live every
day so ycu can look every man in the
face and tell him, to go to* Hell."
There is a sermon, in that Tom if you
have grey matter enough to find it.
Now Tom there is np use of me asking for any more questidns as you fail
to answer what I have a5ked, and in
the future, Tom, if you have any
Bjams to hand me please make them
through statemetit's" of facts.. Now
Tom politics has nothing to -do with
these articles, hnt when I felt that
you were trying- to insinuate something;' against a man that every Oddfellow In Clare county has reason to
respect and love as a brother and I
was the only one that could state the
facts, I did my- duty as I saw it, •

It was a well organized camp and the
boys had a wonderful time. Rev..

setting up exercises, they took a
plunge in the lake. After breakfasS
the boys cleaned their tents and got
them ready for inspection. The:*
leaders found the tents so nearly perfect that it was difficult to determines-

inspection and the boys then went
for a hike to take nature study. They*
played two five inning games of. base?
ball each day between picked teams,
to determine the championship teams;
of the camp. Every thing was car*-*
ried on hy a regular schedule, the
boys only being allowed to go swimv
ming at certain periods. One off
the most interesting times in the
camp was at the camp fire in the evening when there were stunts anc£
songs. They were in the canrp> for
the purpose of learning to work andl
play together, which means that there •
are times when they must give and!
take and this tends to make them unselfish. There was also competitiois-.
on tho four fold program to determine-
tho best all around camper. This*,
honor went to Donald Jones. There.,
were many visitors from Clare dur---
ing the week.

AN ESSAY ON" REPTILES:
The most despisable reptile on the
face of the earth to a real man or
woman is the "snake in the grass''*
who bites you and if you come baclc
says, "I didn't mean you, or at least E
mentioned no names or place or time,""
and if you don't come back he* says*
you must he guilty or you would) haves
answered him. Such a reptilte woulda
ruin a man's reputation, brake up*
families, or do others any kind 09*
dirt, just to get a little easy money skt
a little political power. I am very gE»3
that we are^not afflicted with, •this'
kind of a pest in Sheridan townshii*
and localities that are, have my synt-
pathy.
After reading the above over I fee?
that I owe the snake an apology 4as-.
there may be some decent snakes..'
