COUNTY TICKET
An Exceptionally Strong One
Throughout.
. CANDIDATES
EVERY VOTER
^
In City Must Register To Vote
November 7th.
Well Distributed Over The
County..
Tb? county ticket presented by tbe
Republican party in this county in
this campaign is a strong one and
commends itself to every voter. In
anything we may say of individual
candidates, we mean no disparagement of tbeir opponents. With several of the Democratic candidates we i
have no personal acquaintance. For
others we have a very bigb regard
and esteem. It is one of tbe most encouraging signs, of tbe times tbat all
political parties are compelled io
general, to nominate good men.
FOR PROBATEJUDCE.
No One need be toid that this office
•is a most important one, perhaps in
some respects the most important in
the county. It goes without saying
that this officer should be a man of
the highest integrity and of irreproachable character. He should be
a good business man, a man well acquainted witb tbe county and of its
real estate values. In Thomas 8.
, Dor6ej of this city, the party has a
candidate that meets all reasonable
demands. His personal character is
of the highest. He bas good business
ability.- Hia incumbency of tbe office
of connty treasurer has given him an
intimate acquaintance . with tbe
county and will enable him to deal
intelligently with estates tbat pass
through the probate court. No
better man for tbis office could be
found in tbe county.
FOR SHERIFF
- Robert Hutchinson of Sheridan is
sbe candidate for sheriff. He has
previously held the office for four
years, heBce he is familiar with its
duties and is in no sense an experi
ment. He authorizes us to say that
if elected the local option law and
every other law tbat it is his duty to
enforce will be so enforced without
fear, favor or affection.
COUNTY CLERK AND REGISTER
Certainly no one will claim that in
Francis M. Morrissey tb6 people are
experimenting. He haa been tried
and not found wanting. The only
criticism will probably be that he bas
beld office for some time. We bave
repeatly said tbat we take no stock
in she "term" theory. Those who
insist upon tbe two-term rule will
also urge tbat a man is "entitled"
to tbe second term. We do not believe in any cast-iron rule on either
proposition. If a man proves incompetent, be should be kicked oat as
soon as possible. Tbe people are
"entitled" to retain a man as long aa
tbey please. No man wbo gives any
attention to tbe way Mr. Morrissey
does nis work will wonder tbat be ia
long retained in office. Careful and
painstaking in bis won, uotigmg
and courtious to all, bis friends embrace pretty nearly everyone and it
is no wonder tbat tbey "sweare by
bim.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Peter A. Oman, "me man from tbe
Swedish log cabin," later comldg
from tbe township of Garfield, is a
candidate for re-election. Tbe law
requires a big bond from this officer
but anyone wbo knows Mr. Oman
will ten you tbat tbe bond is a mere
formality in bis case. We are sure
we shall be safe in saying tbat every
duty of tbe office baa been attended
to iu first class shape'during tbe past
two years. Mr. Oman's personal
cbarscter is ideal and we expect to
Bee bim again lead the ticket.
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.
Carlos A. Reading of tbis city is
tbe candidate for this office; and, as
be bas no opposition, be is sure to be
tbe next prosecutor in tbis county.
Tbe beet platform upon which a man
can stand in bis own personal char-
actor. Those who know Mr. Reading best feel sure tbat violations of
law will not be a joke in tbis county
during bis incamoencj of .the office.
COUNTY SURVEYOR
Artbur D. Johnson of Grant, tbe
present incumbent, is again s candidate. As a surveyor and road man.
Mr. Jobnson's reputation is not confined to this county. He is frequently called to neighboring counties to
do State Reward road work. Tbe
State Highway Department speaks
highly of Mr. Johnson's work.
COUNTY DRAIN COMMISSIONER
For this important office Franklin
P. Davis of Sberidan is again tbe
candidate. He haa held tbe office
daring tbe past fonr years and is now
familiar with its complicated duties.
He bas made a good official as we
believe.
t'OBONKKfl. "
For tbis office tbe candidates are
Dr. O. B. Lamb of Farwell and
Charles H. Gould ot tbis city. Tbey
are exceptionally well equipped tor
tbis cff.ce aod will doubtless receive
the tall party vote.
Every resident or Clare wbo is entitled to vote this fall must bear in
mind that he cannot vote unless he
re-registers on Saturday, Nov. 4tb—
the Saturday before election. This is
inaccordance with the law requiring
that in cities of the fourth class, are-
registration of tbe electors must be
made every four years, falling,
according to desi?r, on tbe presidential year. This would also apply to
Harrison, as ths county seat is a city
of tbe same class. In Clare, tbe city
h*Jl is now the central place of registration for all three wards, the board
being in session on tbe day mentioned
from 8 a. m. until 8 p. m.
In townships, however, there seeme
to be no provision for a re-regisration
of this sort, anyone whose name is already properly entered being entitled
to vote without further bother.
Those who have not before registered
in the township where tbey will be entitled to vote, should note tbat the
day of registration if one. week previous to tnut iu cities, tailing'on Saturday, Oct. 28tli.
Tbe officers to be chosen and the
questions to be decided thie year are
of sucb importance that no elector
can afford to be careless about this
matter. Make sure tbat your nam6
goes on the books at the required
time.

Of Law In Advance.
Ritter-Mickins.
(From Temple Correspondent.)
Miee Grace Ritter and Artbur E.
Mickins were quietly united in marriage at Alma on Wednesday, Oct. 18
at tbe Lutheran church, Rev. Jackson officating. Fern House of Rosebush acted ae bridesmaid and Martin
Ritter, brother of the bride, ae best
man. Only near relatives of trie parties were present.
Tbey are highly respected young
people. Miss Ritter being one of
Clare county's successful teachers

point for tbe Ann Arbor R. R., Co.
They left on the afternoon train for a
trip to points in Ohio. Indiana and
Illinois but will be aa, home to their
friends after Nov. 1 at Temple.
We all wish tbem much success aad
happiness.
AUCTIONS
Somewhat Dampened By Bad
Weather.
Rainy weather bas interfered somewhat with auction sales of late, yet
tbe attendance has besn very
good and tbe bidding generally lively
as we are informed. Note tbe
following sales in tbe near future.
HENRY SINES
On Wednesday, Nov. 1, Mr. Sines
has a sale 3% miles south snd 1 mile
west ot this city. He offers a good
lot of stock Including a flne matched
span of young horses of good weight
and a lot of grade Durham cows. He
bas also a good lot of tools. Sale begins at 12:30 and free lunch wili be
served. D. Ward, auctioneer. See
ad in this issue.
JOHN BEADLE
On Friday, Nov. 3, John Beadle
will have a sale, mostly of live stock,
at the Beadle farm northeast of this
city. It will comprise some very desirable stock and will be sure to attract a good crowd. See next week's
Sentinel for full list and particulars.
B. J. BAKER
Mr. Baker bas rented bis farm and
bas a sale on Monday, Nov. 6. Tbe
offering consists of live stock and
tools snd while not a large Bale still
tbere is enough to attract a good
crowd. Sale begins at 10 a. m. and
lunch will be served. See ad.
Lars Oman Dies Suddenly.
At tbe bome o! a daughter, Mrs.
Joseph Rawson in Gilmore Twp.,
Lara Oman dropped off without warning on Monday nigbt, some form ot
heart trouble causing death. Deceased
was an uncle of Peter A. Oman,
treasurer of Clare Co., we are informed.
Funeral services are being beld at
tbe bome today at nine, and from tbe
Methodist church in Gilmore at ten
o'clock. A more extended sketch of
bis life will appear next weea.
Coats At A Bargain.
I have overcoats and ladies coats,
both new and second-banded /for sale
cheap. Joba Rodabaugb.
East of O'Callabaa Feed Barn.
"I am going to vote for a dry Nebraska," said Mr. Bryan. "I am joining to tbe fight to make Michigan
saloonless. I am glad I can join tbe
fight for prohibition without impeaching my Democracy."
Of the nineteen states tbat bave
been voted dry ten went Democratic
at tbe iast election. You Republicans
will bave to bustle and pet in another Republican state to keep up witb
ue. When one party acts the otber
party must act. If tbe Democrats
take tbe first stand on tbe prohibition movement tbe saloon element
will go over to ths Republicans and
Heaven knows they bave bad men
enough now. If tbe Republicans act
first the bad men will come over to
tbe Democratic party and. Heaven
knows, we bave enough of them.
Wby not both parties act- at once?
These men have no party loyalily.
You can vote for the issue entirely
separate from your party. I think
voters can understand a proposition
better than they can understand a
candidate. And tbe proposition is
safer. It doesn't change after elec
tion. The majority of the members
ot congress are in favor of national
prohibition. Tbe question for you to
decide is whether you are to be on
the side of the outlaw and protect
the outlaw from outraged justice or
whether you are to become a member of tbe sheriff's posse to hunt
down tbe criminal. Don't allow
party difference to prevent you from
deciding to vote against alcohol and
the saloon.
I should rather be on tbe side of
the prohibitionist wbo may make a
mistake than on the side of the man
with only a pecuniary interest.
There are two arguments against
the saloon; being a good thing for tbe
town. If tbe saloon is a good thing
for a town wby not give a bounty
rather than tax it? Why discrimin
ate against -the saloon and for other
kinds of business?
Isn't it strange a city wiil license a
saloon to make men drank and then
fine men for getting drunk? It would
be as well to license a man for spreading tbe itch in town and then fining
any ode wbo scratched.
Brewers never want a saloon next
to tbeir homes, but tbey put saloons
on all sides ot tbe poor man's bome'
Wby is it they try to deceive intelii
gent Michigan voters witb tbeir
fraudulent amendment, falsely called
"boms rule?"
It is not fair to license one man to
sell drink and tbea flne or imprison
tbe fellow wbo gets drunk.
You can't license anybody to spread
bog cbolera. You bave a chance
Nov. 7 to raise men to the level of
bogs.
You never advertise saloons as an
attraction in town.
Tbe final argument that you can't
enforce prohibition means tbe booze
business is tbe only business wbicb
announces in advance tbat it will defy the constitutional measures you
want adopted. Tbat is anarchy.
Duck Hunting Good.
Reports that come from Houghton
Lake indicate unusually large numbers of ducks tbere, and hunters are
bagging tbe limit on almost every
occasion. Many sportsmen from
other parts of tbe state pass through
daily oy auto on tbeir way to and
from tbe lake, and some local sports
bave taken advantage of tbe chance.
Large flocks of geese bave also
passed over in tbe last few days,
some hovering around botb Clare and
Harrison for some time during tbe
nigbt.
Dinner.
The ladies of St. Cecelia's church
will serve a 6 o'clock dinner on Tuesday, Oct. 31, at Haley's Hall, upstairs. Menu as follows:

POSTMASTER
Calls Attention Of Citizens To
Delivery Matters.
Free delivery service for ths city of
Clare has been ordered and will be
installed November 1st. To place
tbis system in effective operation tbe
hearty co-operation of tbe patrons is
solicited and in this connection I wish
to request tbat all householders and
proprietors of business places inform
tbeir correspondents of tbeir correct
number and address. Tbis will avoid
confusion in tbe routing of tbe mail
by tbe carriers and will expedite tbe
delivery of same. All householders
will be called upon to fill out a census
slip giving tbe number and street
address and filling in tbe names of
all tbe member" of tbe family.
Your attention is invited to tbe
benefits to be derived from the use of
private mail receptacles. Such
receptacles in the form Of a box or a
slot in the door, obviate the necessity
of patrons responding to the carrier's
call at inconvenient moments, permit
tbe safe delivery of mail at all times,
and contrioute materially to tbe
efficiency of the service. When not
compelled to wait a response to bie
ring, the carrier is enabled to cover
bis route mora expeditiously and
make prompter deliveries, especially
those residing near tbe end of tbe
route to be traversed. With a safe
place in wbicb o deliver tbe mail at
all times the carrier is enabled to reduce to a minimum tbe amount of
mail returned to tbe postoffice because of tbe temporary absence of
patrons or failure to get prompt response to his ring. Mail boxes are
on sale at convenient places in tbe
city and I would appreciate the quick
installation of tbem so that everything will be in readiness to place the
service iu smooth working order as
soon aa possible. The conditions resulting from tbis co-operation witb
the postoffice department wiil be of
material advantage tc all and good,
efficient service will be the result.

Acting Sec.
Tbe banquet aud program planned
iu honor of Dr. Maynard were carried
out in tbe parlors of tbe Ccngrega-
tioal church on Tuesday evening and
was much enjoyed by all. The banquet was served by tbe Unlou and
tbe Guild, tbe two societies of tbe
church, and certainly ali did ample
justice to its excellence. The large
crowd rendered tbe work df serving
s imewna*. difficult, yet it was accomplished. Somtehing iike 200 were in
attendance and as ail registered. Dr.
Maynard wll! have an autograph
album that will cause his posterity
to wonder that so many tine writers
could be found in ooe small town.
The orchestra kindly furnished music
daring the banquet wtiicb added to
tbe occasion.
C. W. Perry was toast-master and
in a few appropriate remarks introduced each speaker. But one on
tbe program was absent and tbe
orchestra was substituted. We can
notice but very briefly tbe various
addresses. All were good and each
in some way bore testimony to bis
appreciation of some place in tbe
life of tbe guest of the evening.
Dr. Reeder in his "Story of Fifty
Years," told of tbe hardships and
privations of the pioneer doctor in
the wilderness 50 years ago, how
oftimes his patients were too poor to
pay for tbe service rendered. The
i doctor muet contend with all sorts of
prejudices and absurd notions of
patients. The speaker worked off
some witty "roasts" on various persons present.
Io diseuaeing "Professional Fellowship," C. A. Reading said tbat the
gathering of so many friends spoke
more eloquently than words and
would be remembered when the
words were forgotten. Doctors enjoy the confidence of people in a
peculiarly strong sense and enter into their life in many ways.
Rev. Thos. E. Bennett iu "Tbe
Doctor and tbe Church," bore strong
testimony to the faithfulness of tbe
evening's guest in bis religious life.
While not a member of tbe speaker's
cburcb, yet he was a frequent attendant. He spoke of tbe warm,
sympathetic attitude always displayed
by tbe doctor in bis relations witb all.
Dr. Dunlop was introduced as the-
"Scottish Bard" and presented "Dr.
Maynard" and bis achievements in a
poem which we shall publish next
week, bsnee make no furtber comments now.
Norris Etden spoke for 'The Kiddies'
being himself one of tbe numerous
boat tbat Dr. Maynard bad "brought
down tbe chimney" in the days gone
by. He voiced wbat be supposed
must be the views of tbe young re
specting tbe old.
Mrs. W. F. Puce of Saginaw told
of ber childhood remembrance of tbe
country bere before tbere was a
"Clare" and this was tbe 'Tobacco
River country." Her father bad a
lumber mill on the Ami Wright farm
in the town of Sheridan snd through
tbe forest then Dr. Maynard came
to minister to the family. Her
mother suggested the name "Grant"
for tbe township here as sbe had a
great admiration for tbe general.

For others we have a very bigb regard and esteem. It is one of tbe most encouraging signs, of tbe times tbat all political parties are compelled io general, to nominate good men. FOR PROBATEJUDCE. No One need be toid that this office •is a most important one, perhaps in some respects the most important in the county. It goes without saying that this officer should be a man of the highest integrity and of irreproachable character. He should be a good business man, a man well acquainted witb tbe county and of its real estate values. In Thomas 8. , Dor6ej of this city, the party has a candidate that meets all reasonable demands. His personal character is of the highest. He bas good business ability.- Hia incumbency of tbe office of connty treasurer has given him an intimate acquaintance . with tbe county and will enable him to deal intelligently with estates tbat pass through the probate court. No better man for tbis office could be found in tbe county. FOR SHERIFF - Robert Hutchinson of Sheridan is sbe candidate for sheriff. He has previously held the office for four years, heBce he is familiar with its duties and is in no sense an experi ment. He authorizes us to say that if elected the local option law and every other law tbat it is his duty to enforce will be so enforced without fear, favor or affection. COUNTY CLERK AND REGISTER Certainly no one will claim that in Francis M. Morrissey tb6 people are experimenting. He haa been tried and not found wanting. The only criticism will probably be that he bas beld office for some time. We bave repeatly said tbat we take no stock in she "term" theory. Those who insist upon tbe two-term rule will also urge tbat a man is "entitled" to tbe second term. We do not believe in any cast-iron rule on either proposition. If a man proves incompetent, be should be kicked oat as soon as possible. Tbe people are "entitled" to retain a man as long aa tbey please. No man wbo gives any attention to tbe way Mr. Morrissey does nis work will wonder tbat be ia long retained in office. Careful and painstaking in bis won, uotigmg and courtious to all, bis friends embrace pretty nearly everyone and it is no wonder tbat tbey "sweare by bim. COUNTY TREASURER. Peter A. Oman, "me man from tbe Swedish log cabin" later comldg from tbe township of Garfield, is a candidate for re-election. Tbe law requires a big bond from this officer but anyone wbo knows Mr. Oman will ten you tbat tbe bond is a mere formality in bis case. We are sure we shall be safe in saying tbat every duty of tbe office baa been attended to iu first class shape'during tbe past two years. Mr. Oman's personal cbarscter is ideal and we expect to Bee bim again lead the ticket. PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. Carlos A. Reading of tbis city is tbe candidate for this office; and, as be bas no opposition, be is sure to be tbe next prosecutor in tbis county. Tbe beet platform upon which a man can stand in bis own personal char- actor. Those who know Mr. Reading best feel sure tbat violations of law will not be a joke in tbis county during bis incamoencj of .the office. COUNTY SURVEYOR Artbur D. Johnson of Grant, tbe present incumbent, is again s candidate. As a surveyor and road man. Mr. Jobnson's reputation is not confined to this county. He is frequently called to neighboring counties to do State Reward road work. Tbe State Highway Department speaks highly of Mr. Johnson's work. COUNTY DRAIN COMMISSIONER For this important office Franklin P. Davis of Sberidan is again tbe candidate. He haa held tbe office daring tbe past fonr years and is now familiar with its complicated duties. He bas made a good official as we believe. t'OBONKKfl. " For tbis office tbe candidates are Dr. O. B. Lamb of Farwell and Charles H. Gould ot tbis city. Tbey are exceptionally well equipped tor tbis cff.ce aod will doubtless receive the tall party vote. Every resident or Clare wbo is entitled to vote this fall must bear in mind that he cannot vote unless he re-registers on Saturday, Nov. 4tb— the Saturday before election. This is inaccordance with the law requiring that in cities of the fourth class, are- registration of tbe electors must be made every four years, falling, according to desi?r, on tbe presidential year. This would also apply to Harrison, as ths county seat is a city of tbe same class. In Clare, tbe city h*Jl is now the central place of registration for all three wards, the board being in session on tbe day mentioned from 8 a. m. until 8 p. m. In townships, however, there seeme to be no provision for a re-regisration of this sort, anyone whose name is already properly entered being entitled to vote without further bother. Those who have not before registered in the township where tbey will be entitled to vote, should note tbat the day of registration if one. week previous to tnut iu cities, tailing'on Saturday, Oct. 28tli. Tbe officers to be chosen and the questions to be decided thie year are of sucb importance that no elector can afford to be careless about this matter. Make sure tbat your nam6 goes on the books at the required time. WM. J. BRYAN Scores The Saloon. Opposes Licensing it. BOOZE BUSINESS . Only One Announcing Defiance Of Law In Advance. Ritter-Mickins.

Rainy weather bas interfered somewhat with auction sales of late, yet tbe attendance has besn very good and tbe bidding generally lively as we are informed. Note tbe following sales in tbe near future. HENRY SINES On Wednesday, Nov. 1, Mr. Sines has a sale 3% miles south snd 1 mile west ot this city. He offers a good lot of stock Including a flne matched span of young horses of good weight and a lot of grade Durham cows. He bas also a good lot of tools.

BAKER Mr. Baker bas rented bis farm and bas a sale on Monday, Nov. 6. Tbe offering consists of live stock and tools snd while not a large Bale still tbere is enough to attract a good crowd. Sale begins at 10 a. m. and lunch will be served. See ad. Lars Oman Dies Suddenly. At tbe bome o! a daughter, Mrs. Joseph Rawson in Gilmore Twp., Lara Oman dropped off without warning on Monday nigbt, some form ot heart trouble causing death. Deceased was an uncle of Peter A. Oman, treasurer of Clare Co., we are informed. Funeral services are being beld at tbe bome today at nine, and from tbe Methodist church in Gilmore at ten o'clock. A more extended sketch of bis life will appear next weea. Coats At A Bargain. I have overcoats and ladies coats, both new and second-banded /for sale cheap. Joba Rodabaugb. East of O'Callabaa Feed Barn. "I am going to vote for a dry Nebraska" said Mr. Bryan. "I am joining to tbe fight to make Michigan saloonless. I am glad I can join tbe fight for prohibition without impeaching my Democracy." Of the nineteen states tbat bave been voted dry ten went Democratic at tbe iast election. You Republicans will bave to bustle and pet in another Republican state to keep up witb ue. When one party acts the otber party must act. If tbe Democrats take tbe first stand on tbe prohibition movement tbe saloon element will go over to ths Republicans and Heaven knows they bave bad men enough now. If tbe Republicans act first the bad men will come over to tbe Democratic party and. Heaven knows, we bave enough of them. Wby not both parties act- at once? These men have no party loyalily. You can vote for the issue entirely separate from your party. I think voters can understand a proposition better than they can understand a candidate. And tbe proposition is safer. It doesn't change after elec tion. The majority of the members ot congress are in favor of national prohibition. Tbe question for you to decide is whether you are to be on the side of the outlaw and protect the outlaw from outraged justice or whether you are to become a member of tbe sheriff's posse to hunt down tbe criminal. Don't allow party difference to prevent you from deciding to vote against alcohol and the saloon. I should rather be on tbe side of the prohibitionist wbo may make a mistake than on the side of the man with only a pecuniary interest. There are two arguments against the saloon; being a good thing for tbe town. If tbe saloon is a good thing for a town wby not give a bounty rather than tax it? Why discrimin ate against -the saloon and for other kinds of business? Isn't it strange a city wiil license a saloon to make men drank and then fine men for getting drunk? It would be as well to license a man for spreading tbe itch in town and then fining any ode wbo scratched. Brewers never want a saloon next to tbeir homes, but tbey put saloons on all sides ot tbe poor man's bome' Wby is it they try to deceive intelii gent Michigan voters witb tbeir fraudulent amendment, falsely called "boms rule?" It is not fair to license one man to sell drink and tbea flne or imprison tbe fellow wbo gets drunk. You can't license anybody to spread bog cbolera. You bave a chance Nov. 7 to raise men to the level of bogs. You never advertise saloons as an attraction in town. Tbe final argument that you can't enforce prohibition means tbe booze business is tbe only business wbicb announces in advance tbat it will defy the constitutional measures you want adopted. Tbat is anarchy. Duck Hunting Good. Reports that come from Houghton Lake indicate unusually large numbers of ducks tbere, and hunters are bagging tbe limit on almost every occasion. Many sportsmen from other parts of tbe state pass through daily oy auto on tbeir way to and from tbe lake, and some local sports bave taken advantage of tbe chance. Large flocks of geese bave also passed over in tbe last few days, some hovering around botb Clare and Harrison for some time during tbe nigbt. Dinner. The ladies of St. Cecelia's church will serve a 6 o'clock dinner on Tuesday, Oct. 31, at Haley's Hall, upstairs.

Free delivery service for ths city of Clare has been ordered and will be installed November 1st. To place tbis system in effective operation tbe hearty co-operation of tbe patrons is solicited and in this connection I wish to request tbat all householders and proprietors of business places inform tbeir correspondents of tbeir correct number and address. Tbis will avoid confusion in tbe routing of tbe mail by tbe carriers and will expedite tbe delivery of same. All householders will be called upon to fill out a census slip giving tbe number and street address and filling in tbe names of all tbe member" of tbe family. Your attention is invited to tbe benefits to be derived from the use of private mail receptacles. Such receptacles in the form Of a box or a slot in the door, obviate the necessity of patrons responding to the carrier's call at inconvenient moments, permit tbe safe delivery of mail at all times, and contrioute materially to tbe efficiency of the service. When not compelled to wait a response to bie ring, the carrier is enabled to cover bis route mora expeditiously and make prompter deliveries, especially those residing near tbe end of tbe route to be traversed. With a safe place in wbicb o deliver tbe mail at all times the carrier is enabled to reduce to a minimum tbe amount of mail returned to tbe postoffice because of tbe temporary absence of patrons or failure to get prompt response to his ring. Mail boxes are on sale at convenient places in tbe city and I would appreciate the quick installation of tbem so that everything will be in readiness to place the service iu smooth working order as soon aa possible. The conditions resulting from tbis co-operation witb the postoffice department wiil be of material advantage tc all and good, efficient service will be the result. Jobn A. Jackson, P. M.

Tbe nsual "noon recess" followed witb a few informalities of a highly educational type, such as would be relished by these purveyors of knowledge. Tbe second affair was a surprise on Supt^J. J.

Last Sunday was tbe birthday of Jerry Feigbner and there gathered at tbe home in tbe west part of the city tbe families of three sons, Malcolm and Roy of this city and Frank of Midland. It was strictly a family affair and hence outsiders are not supposed to know much about it. We can easily believe tbat a most enjoyable time was enjoyed and the father made to feel tbat getting older is a pleasant process after ali. Read Their Ad.

Tbe banquet aud program planned iu honor of Dr. Maynard were carried out in tbe parlors of tbe Ccngrega- tioal church on Tuesday evening and was much enjoyed by all. The banquet was served by tbe Unlou and tbe Guild, tbe two societies of tbe church, and certainly ali did ample justice to its excellence. The large crowd rendered tbe work df serving s imewna*. difficult, yet it was accomplished. Somtehing iike 200 were in attendance and as ail registered. Dr. Maynard wll! have an autograph album that will cause his posterity to wonder that so many tine writers could be found in ooe small town. The orchestra kindly furnished music daring the banquet wtiicb added to tbe occasion. C. W. Perry was toast-master and in a few appropriate remarks introduced each speaker. But one on tbe program was absent and tbe orchestra was substituted. We can notice but very briefly tbe various addresses. All were good and each in some way bore testimony to bis appreciation of some place in tbe life of tbe guest of the evening. Dr. Reeder in his "Story of Fifty Years" told of tbe hardships and privations of the pioneer doctor in the wilderness 50 years ago, how oftimes his patients were too poor to pay for tbe service rendered. The i doctor muet contend with all sorts of prejudices and absurd notions of patients. The speaker worked off some witty "roasts" on various persons present. Io diseuaeing "Professional Fellowship" C. A. Reading said tbat the gathering of so many friends spoke more eloquently than words and would be remembered when the words were forgotten. Doctors enjoy the confidence of people in a peculiarly strong sense and enter into their life in many ways. Rev. Thos. E. Bennett iu "Tbe Doctor and tbe Church" bore strong testimony to the faithfulness of tbe evening's guest in bis religious life. While not a member of tbe speaker's cburcb, yet he was a frequent attendant. He spoke of tbe warm, sympathetic attitude always displayed by tbe doctor in bis relations witb all. Dr. Dunlop was introduced as the- "Scottish Bard" and presented "Dr. Maynard" and bis achievements in a poem which we shall publish next week, bsnee make no furtber comments now. Norris Etden spoke for 'The Kiddies' being himself one of tbe numerous boat tbat Dr. Maynard bad "brought down tbe chimney" in the days gone by. He voiced wbat be supposed must be the views of tbe young re specting tbe old. Mrs. W. F. Puce of Saginaw told of ber childhood remembrance of tbe country bere before tbere was a "Clare" and this was tbe 'Tobacco River country." Her father bad a lumber mill on the Ami Wright farm in the town of Sheridan snd through tbe forest then Dr. Maynard came to minister to the family. Her mother suggested the name "Grant" for tbe township here as sbe had a great admiration for tbe general. Continued From Page 12 Mrs. John Empey.
