glad lhat tl
pleasant  places,
!:. v. K- ight - "y - they are not'." organizing for the local option tight
next spring and a big rally is to be
ht-Ul at Flint next Sunday. Genessee
countv is now dry and of course a
big effort will be mad:? ta force the
saloons back next year. We believe
the- same factor that helped to roil
up that big majority in West Virginia and is in evidence everywhere
will stili keep Genessee dry. The
manufacturing and business interests
are becoming thoroughly alive to the
iniiuity of the saloon business. One
of tbe foremost men in lighting the
saloons in Lansing has been U. K.
Olds, the automobile man. Flint, a
city of some 10.000 peopie, has a
number of automobile factories.
The people who manage these factories cannot afford to have saloons
in that city. It is not a matter of
sentiment but of cold-blooded business. We predict Genessee will follow the example of Ingham.

possession of all the farm? in this

that suits his own fancy and forthwith appropriates the farm to himself.
The Wm. T. Gardner farm three
miles south and two east of Clare is
his latest acquisition, and it ia an excellent piece of ground. Mr. Caple

John Mark.
Jobn Mark was born in Columbiana Co., Ohio Nov. 26, 1643, and died
Dec. 29, 1914, aged 71 years, 1 month
and 3 days. His parents moved to

In June, 1875 he was ordained as a

Aa we understand the matter, the
council is not favor .ble to the idea
of granting a long-time franchise to
anybody, but rather deems it best
to enter into a contract for a limited
■time. At the last meeting a committee consisting of Aids. Lewis and
Smaiiey waa appointed to prepare
•ach contract and submit it to the
council at the next meeting.
We judge from remarks we have
heard dropped tbat there ls a strong
sentiment here in favor of a municipal plant. Perhaps it may be felt
tbat tbe city's financial condition
does not warrant snch an undertaking jnst now, bat tbat no long-time
contract should be made.
