\&!t Cumberland Gap In the mountains three states meet—Tennessee,
Kentucky and Virginia. The scenery
thu Kentucy and Tennessee was
'beautiful, with Laurel and Rhododen-
drum which has beautiful rose like
blossoms of various colors. It was
not in bloom when we were there but
they say the mountains are gorgeous
with.color when it is. Coming north
thru North and South Carolina and
Virginia we saw the Yellow Jasmine
vine climbing over trees and shrubs
in. the woods with its fragrant yellow blossoms. The white dog wood
was in blossom and the rose colored
Judas tree beside it made a beautiful
picture. The legend of the Judas
tree is that it had once a white blossom but after the cruciftction of Christ
the blossoms turned, red. The birds
were red winged blackbirds, bluebirds-and birds rare with us were the
Kentucky cardinals. Further south
the Mocking birds were as common
as our robin is here; Every morning
the first sound you hear is the song
of the Mocking bird. Another bird
that is not so pleasant but very useful as a scavenger In warmer climates
is*i;he Turkey buzzard who is seen
nearly every where in the south cir-
culing high in the air looking for dead
animals or birds. In Florida we were
pleased to see- many blue heron and
the rase egret, a small white heron,
perched in marshy places on one leg.
The razor backed hogs were an amusing sight. We saw them roaming at
large in Georgia and Flodida especially. They are degenerate hogs that
have run wild for a long time.. In many
of the southern states especially
Georgia and Fllorida there are no
fences and animals xoam at will. Their
owners put a private mark on them.
In Georgia and Flodida cows did not
see to be very common and what we
saw were Jersey cattle that roamed
around. It seemed very queer to me
to see valuable Jersey cattle so .seemingly unprotected. The beast of
burden of the south is the mule. You
«oae to have a respect for that saidy
patieof animal tho he. has the reputa-
* tion/^f being stubborn. The colored
l" man ajnd woman are the day laborers.
The colored women as a rule seem to
be tidy. Those we met on the streets
were dressed in clean starched
t'dresses. They seem to delight in
laundry work as every cabin would
have a washing either on a line or on
. the fence by the cabin. They boil
the -white clothes in a large iron ket-
(l tie hung in their door yard. All
|. through the south you will see the
old open wells. Some are' the wind-
, less type, some have ' the old well
sweep and others have the old oaken
buckets.
We found that Tennessee was a
, very handsome state. Percy said that
| he had read that Tennessee was en-
.1 tirely self supporting. It has the
\ appearance of a prosperous country,
J mountains  with  fertile  valleys    nnd
(Ktarm lanrtb. We stopped ofer night at
:Knoxvllloj' one of its large cities. We
talso sa-w| several mills by streams
';With large Old wooden water wheels
[•■which were very picturesque. We pas-
rjsed a native walkinv leisurely down
||a mountain road whittling a stick.
jiMr. Wilson said "what do you know
[about that." The southerner takes
};'more time for that and contemplates
than lo we high strung northerners,
'he dirt in Tennessee and Georgia is
copper colored red clay and in some
places "dark red. Many of the ehim-
.,„ on the cabins are made from it.
rtie clay roads in Georgia ade called
|hirt roads by the natives instead of
girt roads.
I All thru Georgia we saw the last
ear cotton fields. They were bogin-
ing to plow for- this year's crop and
l many elds we saw the old darky
mule doing the work. Some
pms the white men were wirking.
ijs we came back we saw miles of
faautiful pauch .f orchards in bloom
Ijihich' wm|d la'ter bear the famous
iieorgia peft^hes. We were hailed
jong the roadside by colored women
hd boys selling peanuts. They were
L'lall but good flavor, and are the
.Hly peanuts raised in Georgia some
lie told us.

RURAUTES DISCUSS
QUALIFICATIONS OF.
COUNTY CANDIDATES
Woodruff and   Emerson   Commended   to   Represent   This
District at Washington,
D. G., and Lansing.
The farmers in the vicinity of Clare
irrespective of party affiliation began
taking an active interest in politics
Saturday by holding a meeting in the
city for the purpose of discussing the
various candidates who have made
announcements for the nomination
to public office at the primary election in September.
There was a large attendance a*nd
every section of this community was
represented. Farm questions and
problems were freely discussed ana
at length and some interesting solutions for these problems were proposed, but after considerable time
spent in talking over the siuation, it
was decided not to adopt any resolutions on the farm questions or problems.
Congressman Ro>- O. Woodruff, of
Bay City, and State Representative
Richard Emerson, of Clare, were
commended for their fairness and
sincerity in representing the farmers
and were unanimously endorsed for
the nomination to succeed themselves.
The candidates for county offices
were freely discussed and resolutions
endorsing many candidates were passed.
No action was taken in the matter
of State Senator from this district or
on the candidacy for county surveyor.
This is a very unusual procedure on
the part of the farmers in this section, and the first time they have gotten together in this non-partisan manner.

New York state, November 4th, 1851,
and died at his home near Lake July
Sth, 1!)28, aged 56 years, 8 months
and 4 days.
When 21 years of age, he married
nis school days' sweetheart, Brohelia
. ago, who survives him. To this
■inion ten chiidran were born, nine of
them still living, one'son dying in infancy. Mr. Sanborn came to Mich-
.gan about 55 years ago and w.ith his
wife settled at Clio, Genesee county.
More than thirty years ago, they came
to Clare coanty and wrought out for
his family the home in which he lived
until  his passing.
Mr. Sanborn was highly spoken of
as a father, husband, neighbor, man
and citizen, and was always interested
in the upbuilding of his community,
state and nation. He was active in
Grange and Sunday School work.
Mr. Sanborn came from an old
American family. His ancestors came
frcra England early in the years of
tho colonies, the earliest record being
1630. The history of the family shows
names of of:'ik-i-s serving under General Washington, s^rd others serving
in the War for Independence. Hr

are living, ma a brother, Rev. Daniel
L. Sanborn, of Florida, was in attendance at the funeral services.

Antrim county, Ireland, October 3rd,
1863, and died at,the home of his
daughter in Milwaukee, June 30th,
1928, aged 64 years, 8 months and 27
days.
When sixteen years of age, he
came with his parents to western
■Pennsylvania. In a little less than
a year after their arrival in this
country, his father was killed in an
accident, and being the second of a
family of nine children, the responsibility came heavily upon him and
his older brother for a few years.
He obtained employment in a coal
mine and attended night school to
secure an education. He came to
Michigan in 1889, and was married
October 1891, tq Mary McAninch, and
began housekeeping on the farm
which is now their home. At that-
time it was a forest and by hard work
and untiring efforts, Mr, and Mrs.
McGoogan became pioneers in the
building of this community.
Six children were born to this
union five of whom survive their
father. They have each graduated
from the high school. Mr. and Mrs,
McGoogan moved back to Pennsylvania in 1914-, and for eight years resided at Scottdale, near his boyhood
home.   ,
He represented Surrey township on
the County Board of Supervisors for
two years before moving to Pennsylvania, and was again chosen for this
position when he bad barely regained
his residence after his return in 1922.
He attended the June meeting of
the Board, being excused at the Friday afternoon session to start on his
trip to Milwaukee to visit their daughter. Mr. and Mrs. McGoogan, their
daughter, Alice, and her girl friend,
drove to Ludington and crossed Lake
Michigan' on the Friday evening boat.
He was resting comfortably and
contentedly in his daughters's home
when the end came. He had been in
poor health for some time and although his passing was sudden, it
was not unexpected.
Mr. McGoogan was a Presbyterian,
but united with the Farwell Congregational church, and continued as a
member of that church until he moved
to Pennsylvania, when he transferred

BOYS' CAMP AT
MYSTIC LAKE A
VERY BUSY PLACE
Extensive Work for Improving Property Now Being
Executed Under Expert Instruction.
E. T. May,'of Lansing, area Y. M.
C. A., secretary for Ingham and four
other central Michigan counties, and
45 boys from these counties are occupying the Lansing Y. M. C. A. camp
at Mystic Lake, near Lake this week.
Mr. May is assisted in the work of
the camp by Rush Wagner, also of
Lansing, a former agriculture instructor in a Mission school in Africa.
Mr. Wagner has been assistant to Mr.
May in the work of the area for some
time but is planning on returning to
Africa in September to take up his
school duties there.
The boys are living in tents and
are enjoying a program of hiking,
baseball, c'ampcraft and all of the
other activities which go to make up
a delightful and profitable stay in the
out-of-doors. Mr. May has had many
years of experience in camping and is
also giving the boys educational talks
each day, which relate to their moral
and spiritual welfare as well as the
physical being.
Rudy Abrecht, of Lansing, who is
boys work secretary of the Lansing'
Y. M. C. A., is at the camp and is engaged in getting ready for the "prep"
division which will consist of sixty
younger boys from Lansing who are
coming next Monday for two weeks.
Ralph Sharer, instructor in English in the Ridley Park High school
of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and.
Caldwell Carr, a Freshman in the I
University of Pennsylvania are assisting Mi-. Abrecht in his preparations and will remain during the entire summer as assistant ^directors.
The tent leaders for the camp are
Robert Adams, Harlow Stearns,
James Schiller and Herbert McCourt,
These lads are students in the Lansing high school.
Rustic sleeping cottages, fourteen
by fourteen feet square in which
there will be ten boys housed are now
being built by these high school lads
under the' direction of Messrs. Abrecht arid Sharer. The bunks will be
double decked, of spring wire, and
are comfortable.
The cottage are mosquito proof and
by double decking the bunks, there is
plenty of room left for the boys baggage. The foundation for the eight
cottages which are being built, was
laid by a group of high school boys
from Grand Ledge.
There are several boys camps i'.a
Clare county, including the Saginaw
Boy Scout camp at Rotary Lake north
of Clare, but the building and equip-
ing of these cottages at Mystic Lake
camp will give the Lansing boys better housing than any of the similar
institutions in the county.
Two other sections of two weeks
each, will follow the "prop" division
and by this method about two hundred boys will be permitted camping
privileges during the summer.
STATE TRUNEINES
BEING RE-SURFACED
Ralph Stevens With Modern
Equipment    Furnishes
Gravel From Markey
Pit.
The state trunk line highways and
county roads in the vicinity o"f Clare
are, being re-surfaced with washed
gravel, which is being furnished by
Ralph Stevens, who has an up-to-date
and modern gravel washing equipment at the Markey pit north of the
city.
Large quantities pf gravel has been
taken out of this pit during past
years, but operators had experienced
difficulty with' water which greatly
hindered the' ordinary method of
shoveling gravel in the boxes of the
trucks or wagons, and the pit had
been practically abandoned until two
years ago when Mr. Stevens built a
drag lino and began washing the gravel over a screen, thus utilizing that
element which previously had been a
hinderance.
He has improved the plant since
that time, and now has a drag line
which is operated with a hoisting
drum and the gravel is taken from the
depths of the water hole and dumped
on a grizzley where the oversized
stones are removed. The gravel has
been pronounced to be a very high
grade for road building, and although
more than two thousand yards have
been removed from the pit during the
past three weeks, it has not been
found necessary to move the drag
line. The carrier is now being worked in a pit which is twelve feet below the surface of the water. The
Markey pit covers a large area and
there is practicaly an inexhaustable
supply of gravel available by merely
moving the drag line.
The gravel drops from the grizzley
into a pit from whence it is pumped
by a powerful rotary pump to the
elevated screens. This 'pump has a
capacity of 2000 gallons a minute and
the water and gravel is forced
through a six inch pipe: As the
mixture which is supposed to be
ninety per cent water is thrown
against the screen with terrific force,
the gravel travels by gravity through
the various sized screens to the bins
at the bottom of the screen frame,
and the oversize stones, water and
sand is caiTied away.
The water in the lake that has
been formed in the pit is the characteristic "Clare" water, clear and
pure. Mr. Stevens has driven a well
near the pump and the cold water
from this well is caused to flow over
the covers of the pump bearings to
remove any sand that might accumulate upon them.
This tract of land was covered with
larg!e pine, and although the top soil
is sandy, as the great stumps are undermined by the caving of the banks
of the pits, Mr. Stevens has discovered a depo.sit of clay under each one
of the remnants of the forest. The
operators are experiencing no difficulty with this small amount of clay
as it dissolves and goes out with the
sand.
