Mens' Class Has Social Time.
At the invitation of Rev. and Mrs.
S. W. Large the Mens' Bible Class
of tbe M. E. church met at tbe parsonage for a social evening iast Monday, Mar. 5th.
"While the guests were feathering
all were entertained by a program of
selections on tbe Edison Diamond

hour was then spent in general visitation.
The pastor tben called tbe meeting
to order and a delightful informal
program followed. Each ot tbe
guests being invited to give a leaf
out of his own experience, some helpful interest of his past life. Very
interesting were aome of the items
of boyish ambitions and adventures
of youthful days.

exercise by paying a feeling tribute
to his father's noble character, relat

The acceptance by tbs United
States senate and of the upper house
of tbe Danish parliment of the treaty
between tbis country and Denmark,
ceding to tbis county three islands in
tbe West Indies ends a long series
of negotiations looking to tbat end.
In yio current number of tbe Review of Reviews ia au article on tbis
subject and fror£ this we extract the
following wbicb we think will be of
interest to Sentinel readers as sll
should desire to know something of
our new possessions.
These islands, three in number,
St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John,
lie 40 miles southeast of Porto Rico,
now a dependency of this country.
These islands bave a combined area
of only 133 square miles vr quite a
bit less than four of cur townships.
Only one of them, St. Croix, is said
\o be of any value for agricultnral
purposes. Indeed tbe chief or only
reason for tbe purchase is tbeir a*e
aa a naval station and to prevent
tbeir acquieitiaen for such purpose
tty* any foreign power. The price
paid ($25,0 )0,000i would seem to be a
huge sum for so minute a purchase,
deetitute as it is of any mineral or
forest wealth. This is about 3X
times the sum paid for Alaska, tbat

At the hour of 9:30 on Sunday morning last, just as tbe church bells of
tbe city were calling to the people to
assemble at tbeir various places of
worship, the eoul of one whoBe bodily
suffering had long called forth the
sympathy of loving friends, took its
flight acd th6 long struggle was over.
Mrs. Mary A. Sanford, whose maiden name was Griunelr. was born in
Mt. Pleasant Oct. 9, 1867, and all Jher
life has been spent in tbat .city and
Ciare, save a brief residence in Ann
Arbor. In September, 18-6, she was
united in marriage to Fred C. Sanford,
then a student in the medicai depart
ment of the University and tbey resided in Ann Arbor one year till he
completed his course. About 2*5 years
ago they came to this city where
their home has since been. For four
years Mrs. Sanford has been a confirmed invalid, gradually tailing in
spite of ail that loving hands could
;1o to better her condition. Death
was indeed a welcome relief after the
long fight and surfering.
The funeral, in charge of Rev.
Bennett, wae held at the home on
Tuesday afternoon. The casket was
literally buried in flowers, tbe gift of
loving friends who gathered to pay
their last tribute to their departed
friend.
Beside tbe husband and son, Mrs.
Sanford leaves her mother and one
brother. She became a member of
the Disciple church at Mt. Pleasant
in early life and was a member ot the

hour the compauy broke up aDd the
guesta departed after showering their
host and hostess with heartest wishes
for many happy returns of the day,

Away back in 1865 negotiations
were opened with Denmark and an
agreement concluded by which we
were to have tbe islands for "X mil

W. A. Harper of Middleville. Secy
of the State Live Stock Sanitary Commission, was in this county on Friday of laat week to look up the question of rabies in tbe weet part of the

Hiscock, wbo lives near Windover
Lake, was fastened at night in tbe
barn with bis horses and cattle, but
of course not tied. One morning laat
week tbe animal seemed to be making a great outcry and when Mr.
Hiscock went to the barn he found
the dog acting in a very strange man

the cows. When he couid reach the

PANAMA CANAL'S Safety Seemed To Demand That We Control These. He is to speak in Lapeer on Sunday and tbis meant an afternoon speech here or none at a!i. It is much more Important that he be at Lapeer tban here as a vote is to be taken again in tbat couuty this spring. He soon leaves this state and there wonld be no opportunity to bear bim here at all Hie services are in constant demand and it is very seldom that be ie sent to a place the size of Clare. Of course Saturday evening is not the beet time for such an address, as business men are tied up on tbat evening, so tbat tbe afternoon will do just as well so far as they are con- concerned, and we are not sure but that it will be mere favorable for tbe country people. They usually come to town on Saturday afternoon anyway and tbey can plantocome a little qarlier. Be here sure. You cannot afford to miss the opportunity oT bearing Mr. Hobson. You won't hear any jokes or funny stories. You won't see a smile on his face during the whole address. His air is that of a man wbo bas a aolemn message for the people of tbis country and no time for trifles. Let the Methodist church be packed to the doors, for that kind of audience inspires a man to do his best. Mens' Class Has Social Time. At the invitation of Rev. and Mrs. S. W. Large the Mens' Bible Class of tbe M. E. church met at tbe parsonage for a social evening iast Monday, Mar. 5th. "While the guests were feathering all were entertained by a program of selections on tbe Edison Diamond Disc {phonograph. A pleasant half hour was then spent in general visitation. The pastor tben called tbe meeting to order and a delightful informal program followed. Each ot tbe guests being invited to give a leaf out of his own experience, some helpful interest of his past life. Very interesting were aome of the items of boyish ambitions and adventures of youthful days. The pastor closed tbe pleasant exercise by paying a feeling tribute to his father's noble character, relat ing someof his own early experiences. He tben surprised all by announcing WISE FARMERS' CLUB Meets Witb Mr. end Mrs. Large March 14 h. The acceptance by tbs United States senate and of the upper house of tbe Danish parliment of the treaty between tbis country and Denmark, ceding to tbis county three islands in tbe West Indies ends a long series of negotiations looking to tbat end. In yio current number of tbe Review of Reviews ia au article on tbis subject and fror£ this we extract the following wbicb we think will be of interest to Sentinel readers as sll should desire to know something of our new possessions. These islands, three in number, St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, lie 40 miles southeast of Porto Rico, now a dependency of this country. These islands bave a combined area of only 133 square miles vr quite a bit less than four of cur townships. Only one of them, St. Croix, is said \o be of any value for agricultnral purposes. Indeed tbe chief or only reason for tbe purchase is tbeir a*e aa a naval station and to prevent tbeir acquieitiaen for such purpose tty* any foreign power. The price paid ($25,0 )0,000i would seem to be a huge sum for so minute a purchase, deetitute as it is of any mineral or forest wealth. This is about 3X times the sum paid for Alaska, tbat The Wise Farmers' Club will meet with Rev. and Mrs. S. W Large at their parsonage bome in Clare on Wednesday, March 14. Tbe program will be as follows: Solo, Norris F.ldon Prayer, Rev. Young'ove Paper, "How-can the rural cburcn contribute more largely to the social life of the community?" MrQ. Lucius Converse. Discussion by all. Recitation, Mrs. |
