RETIRING OFFICIAL
KINDLY REME1-
BEREDBY FRIENDS
Emma Hoag, Long Associated With   The   Exacting
Duties   Of The   County
Recording Department, '
Shown High Manifestation Of Esteem
. On January first Clare county lost
one of its most faithful, skilled and
loyal officials in the personage ot
Emma McKeever Hoag. She retires
from public service, conscious of the
fact that all duties devolved upon her
have been well performed, and with
an unusually kindly feeling toward
the people she has served so loyally
throughout her. tenure of office. With
the exodus of Mrs. Hoag from county
officialdom, the people are parted from
the expert services of one of the most
proficient abstract makers in the
state of Michigan.
Before taking up county official
work, Mrs. Hoag taught in our rural
and village schools. March 2nd, 1903
she began as an under-study to the
veteran county clerk, Francis M. Mor-
rissey, a man with few equals as an
abstractor and recording official. In a
brief time she became deputy and
served throughout the incumbency of
Mr. Morrissey. With the advent of
Seymour Andrus, Mrs. Hoag was
again honored with the deputyship.
At .the demise of Mr. Andrus, she was
appointed clerk to fill vacancy. She
was elected to a full term in 1924 and
re-elected in 1926.
Kindly and courteous to both great
and small, old and young, officials and
laymen, it was evident that so good
an official as Mrs. Hoag could not
pass into retirement without at least
a slight acknowledgment of appreciation from some source, especially
those more or less closely associated
with her in county work. So on Friday evening a goodly number of
county servants assembled at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schaaf
and in due time made their way en
body to the home of Mrs. Hoag. The
surprise was complete.
The evening was spent in happy
conversation and various games. A,
pot luck luncheon was served, after
which Attorney John Quinn, in behalf
of the county officials, presented Mrs.
Hoag with a beautiful waffle iron.
Attorney Quinn in well chosen words
spoke of his long acquaintance with
the retiring clerk. It began when she
was a child in Vernon township,
Isabella county. The father, William
McKeever, was a woodsman of the
first rank. Very few knew timber as
well as he. The mother, Augusta McKeever, was known and greatly
esteemed for her charitable and
Jienevolent spirit. • Attorney Quinn
stated that during the years not a
disagreement had ever made its appearance while transacting official
business with Mrs. Hoag" in her position, as county* clerk or otherwise.
Humorously he blamed "Emma", as
pilot of the canvassing1 board, for not
"counting herself in" again.
In a few brief remarks Mrs, Hoag
thanked Attorney Quinn, the fellow
officials for the remembrance gift and
the kindly thoughts that must have
prompted all to be present on the occasion.
Numbered among the guests were:
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bruce, Mr. and
Mrs. T. Carl Holbrook, Robert Hutchinson, Mr. and Mrs. William Murphy,
Ortho Boulton, Edmond Woods, Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Slater, Mr. and Mrs.
John- Quinn, Mr. and Mrs. Gharles
Weidner, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Harper, Asa H. Aldrich, Mr. and Mrs.
Elmer C. Clute, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Schaaf, John White, Ethel Graham
Hitchcock, Thomas S. Dorsey.
W. H. ERTER APPOINTED

Soon after Sheriff Edmond Woods
took the oath of office Tuesday, he
announced that he would appoint W,
H. Erter", of Clare as Undersheriff. He
has also appointed Wm. Fosgett, of
Harrison, as deputy. Other deputies
Will be appointed later.

Judson Moore of Burt, Michigan,
was fatally- injured and lived less than
an hour, Thursday forenoon, when a
charge of dynamite prematurely exploded at the crest of James Hill six
miles north of Clare, where the
Thomas McNally company of Saginaw
are employed in ■ cutting down' the
grade and widening trunkline U, S.
27 at that point.
Moore had drilled four holes in the
bank and set heavy charges of dynamite Wednesday afternoon, and
Thursday morning he began to light
the fuses, but when he was lighting
the fourth one, the first charge exploded and lie ran to a safe distance.
He waited for some' time after the
third explosion and evidently thinking
he liad not set the fourth one, he went
to the place and was just reaching
oyer the hole when the charge let go.
Moore was thrown several feet distant and buried in the refuse, his
skull was crushed and his arms and
legs were fractured. He was unconscious when picked up by fellow
workmen and taken to Dr. W. F.
Clute's office where he never regained consciousness and lived but one
hour.
He was about forty-six years of age
and unmarried. The only known relative is a sister who lives near Burt.
Moore has been in the employ of the
McNally company for the -past three
years and was one of their most faithful and trusted workmen. He has
been in charge of the blasting on this
job and was considered a very careful handler of dynamite.
Coroner W. F. Clute empaneled a
jury who visited the scene of the accident and gave its verdict as accidental death from a prematured explosion of dynamite.-
The remains, were taken to his
home at Burt Thursday afternoon.
INMATES REMEMBERED
BY FRIENDS DURING

Mr. and Mrs. Henderson Extend
Thanks to All Who Helped
To Brighten the Lives of
Indwellers.
If those who contributed toward
filling the baskets and gifts sent to
the inmates at the county Infirmary
this Christmas could have been present when Rev. Kleinhardt, of the
Brown acting as * Santa, visited this
institution, their hearts would have
been filled with joy in seeing the happiness brought to these unfortunate
people.
The inmates number fifteen, thirteen men and two women each have
small duties assigned to them and
cooperate splendidly with Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh Henderson, who have the
home in their charge.
At different times several organisations in the county have visited this
institution and brought remembrances
and conducted services which helped
to brighten the circumstances and
each person greatly appreciates being
rememberedi and a friendly . handshake of a visitor.
Among those who contributed and
brought cheer during the holidays to
the inmates were Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Kleinhardt, Mr. and Mrs. Vern Lower,
Mr. and Mrs. Green, Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Bates, of the Brown; Mrs. Jas.
Rogers and Mrs. D. Komp, Congregational Sunday School, of Clare, and

ANNUAL JUNIOR PARTY
A BIG SUCCESS
Event Held   Annually   Under
Supervision of Clare "
Study Club.
The Junior party, which was held
in the Doherty Auditorium last Friday
night, was a great success, and a
large number of the members of the
Junior and Senior high school and
alumni, took advantage of this opportunity of having a good time at a
supervised dancing party.
Mrs. A. H. Horton was chairman ot'
the committee, in charge of the party,
and she and her assistants did their
work and the carefully planned arrangements was responsible for .the
success of the undertaking. The
music furnished by Axte'll's Varsity
Vagabonds was appreciated by the
guests.
This party is .held each year during
the Christmas vacation and is sponsored by the Clare Study Club and
it has grown in -favor with the young
people of the communitp.
POSTAL EMPLOYES
DO FINE JOB HERE
IN HOLIDAY RUSH
Postmaster   Kirkbride   and
Assistants Kept Ivlails Moving Up to Last Minute.
This, in the strictest sense of the
word, is not a news story, it is more
nearly an editorial written in appreciation of the splendid manner In
which the Clare postal employes, under direction of Postmaster S. C.
Kirkbride and his able assistants
handled the Christmas mail this year,
On Christmas Eve the mail was
right up to date, after all, that is news
since few offices in the country, in
cities this size can truthfully boast
such an accomplishment. What is
more, there has not beein a time since
the start of the Christinas rush of mail
that one batch of mail -was not cared
for before another came in.
Outgoing mail also \ has- been-
handled, with unusual dispatch. There
aave been no packages held in the
postoffice past train time because of
inability of the postoffice force to get
mail matter sorted and as a result
any delays in Christmas mail to or
from Clare is at the other end of the
line and not this.
It must, not be forgotten that,
among the many things the post-
office had to contend with during the
season, the individual gifts were by
no means all. The stores* of the city
were getting in many hundreds of
parcels of merchandise which required
the same careful and speedy handling"
as other mail matter. These formed
a great bulk throughout December.
In spite of all the special rush and
the big volume Of mail the office force
and the carriers«completed their jobs
with a minimum of extra help and are
deserving of the praise of the city and
surrounding country.

A final plea for returns in" thi
Christmas seal sale lias been issnei
by the Michigan Tuberculosis Associa!
tion. Records at the Association's office .in Lansing show that approximately one-fifth of the people to
whom saals were sent have neither
returned the seals nor sent money in
payment for them.
Until the amount of funds available
is known, plans for the anti-tuberculosis work to be done in Michigan
in 1929 cannot be definitely^ settled,
according to F. S. Mills, president""ot"^ ' j*
the Michigan Tuberculosis Associa-vl
tion. < ^
"We .have outlined an ambitious pro-"
gram for the coming twelve months",
said Mr, Mills, "but our hands are"'
tied because Of the incomplete returns' from the seal sale. If the folks
who have neither sent in money nor ,
returned their seals only realized the
delay they are helping to cause in the
launching of our 1929 work, I am
certain that they WOuld attend \o the
matter "at once." . '"^
