Some 40 years ago Mrs. Youug bad
a stroke of paralysis seriously affecting
one aide and from this sbe never recovered. One arm was almost useless and
tbe inability to control the muscles
of one limb caused her frequent falls,
some of them resulting quite seriously. Dropsy and perhaps other complications had of late intervened and
death came on Thursday laat, June :i.
Tbe funeral, conducted bv Rev. Lyford, was held from the home Sunday afternoon with burial at Cherry
Grove.
While Mrs. Young labored under a
serious physical handicap and doubtless much of the time suffered pain,
she always presented a cheerful demeanor. We shall never forget the
cheery greeting so frequently given as
we passed nor the deep spirit of
thankfulness for any little favor extended. We can join with all in declaring that a good woman has gone,
and in extending our deepest sympathies to the aged husband in his
great bereavement.

Jas. M. Wellman, after 37 years of
bachelor life, got tne fooli-h idea in
his head that home cooking didn't

5, he joined partnership with Caroline Farnham of Huron, Ohio, the
best cook in Lincoln Twp. according
to Jim's idea of cooking.
Mr. Wellman haa been a resident
of Lincoln townsbip about 20 y*ars,
bas been interested in Lincoln's political career, has made good as a
farmer and expects to double bis
success from now en.
Mrs. Wellman formerly lived near
here and tbey had been sweethearts

well pleased that they became reconciled to each other.
Numerous presents were received,
among them some asefal bedroom

They were married at the bome of

When we sold our insurance business to D. E. Alward, we remarked
that we were glad to see it go into

that we never had the time to do.
As Mr, Aiwa.d bas a position at
Lansing that compels his res-oval to
that city, be bas sold the agency to
Artbnr T. Stevens, who will conduct
it in the future.
During the time that Mr. Alward
bad tbe agency, be took on several
other companies and added considerably to tbe business. In bis abeence
at Lansing as secretary of tbe senate,
Mr. Stevens bas bad charge of tbe

Tbe only road leading into town

A large number of peopie living
east and soutb have signified their

days or more work, and tbe Common
Couneil is ready to furnish gravel
and help with tbe hauling. It is
probable that a time will be set for
week after next, when all will turn
out and rush tbe job to completion.
It might be well to aek the business
men each to furnish a man for half
a day or so. This rood ought to be
improved for the good of the town.

Second Week In June.   Farmers
Urged To Observe.
Some agitation last year resulted
in many farmers disposing of tbeir
roosters after tbe batching season
was over, in order to improve the
quality of eggs. Instead of a "Rooster Day" a whole week baa been
chosen tbis year to spread tbe gospel of better eggs.
It is a well known fact that hens
will lay as well or better wben tbe
mates are confined, and in warm
weather the chances of having
slightly spoiled eggs are removed.
The farmers are therefore being urged
to dispose of all surplus roosters,
separating those that may be kept
for next season. Most buyers are
paying as much for these as tor bens
daring this week in order to encourage the movement for improved
quality in eggs.
On Thursday of next week, the
voters of Arthur township decide
whether they will establish a Township High School. The question is
an important one and may mean
much to the people of that township.
It is worthy of more investigation
and discussion than it has had or is
likely to get.
In this issue appears a communication on the subject from F. M.
Myers. We like the way Mr. Myers
deals with the subject. While it is
quite pertinent to inquire as to the
relative cost of furnishing a high
school course to the boys and girls
of that township at home or to send
them abroad, it is quite well to bear
in mind that there are other things
to be considered besides the money
end of the proposition. There are
some things more valuable than
money, some things that money cannot buy. Not only must there be
considered the greater number to
whom a higher course will be possible, but also the fact of the "home influence while this education is being
obtained. The people are interested
in giving their boys and girls an education, but they are also more vitally-
interested in the question as to what
sort of citizens they are developing
while this education is being obtained. The home is the foundation
stone of our civilization and the
longer its influence can be brought
to bear the better.
On Sunday tbe local lodge of Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs celebrated
tbeir memorial and were joined iu
this by visitors from Farwell, Rosebush, Mt. Pleasant and a few from
other points who were temporarily
here. It was a beautiful day and
tbeir exercises were carried out very
nicely. Meeting at their hall, tbey
marched in doable file to the Congregational churcb, the Rebekabe
leading, and were seated in a body
in the center of the cburch. The services for the day followed the usual
order, the Memorial address taking
the place of tbe usual sermon.
The speaker welcomed the members and said tbe chief aim of tbe
address was to stir .up a sense of personal responsibility. Every member
knows what Odd Fellowship stands
for but tbe question is, what does he
himself stand for. Tbe flowers bere,
to be later placed on tbe graves of
deceased brothers and sisters, speak
volumes, but they represent something that may be distributed every
day in tbe year.
The text for the address was:
"Tbere is a friend tbat sticketb closer than a brother." Friendship bas
always been a bard word to define.
It means fellowship. If yoa wish for
friendship, bestow it. There is anat-
ural longing in the human heart for
friendship, and the Golden Role suggests the way to get it. The true
model is He wbo "went about doing
good."
The three most prolific words in
tbe English language are friendship,
love and truth. Odd Fellowship
should mean the same as church
membership. As the lighthouse sug-
1 gests danger, so Odd Fellowship
should warn against the dangers and
pitfalls in life. It is no accident that
Love occupies the central link in the
i chain.
It is a good thing to scatter flowers on the graves of tbe dead. Worthy commemoration of the dead will
ever be worthy deeds of tbe living.
A committee of members went to
tbe cemetery and deposited flowers
on tbe graves of the 24 Odd Fellowe
and 8 Rebekahs buried tbere. Tbe
membership present with theirguests
enjoyed a bountiful dinner at tbe bail.

Notice.
Now At His Post.
When elected county clerk laat fall
Frank E. Morrison was superintendent of schools at Weidman. He arranged to bave the duties of tbe
office looked after by another after
the term began Jan. 1, until be finished his school year wbich closed a
few days ago. He is now at hia new
post of duty and we predict tbat the
people of Isabella county will discover that they made no mistake in
electing him county clerk.
Completes School Census.
Tbe census tor this school district
wbicb inclndes tbe City of Clare and
a small amoant of territory in Grant
and Vernon townships, bas been
completed by C. F. Haller, census
taker.
Tbis shows a falling off from last
year of 28. tbe number of children of
school age being 410 aa against 438 in
1614. Of tbese, 324 are residents of
Clare, 34 of Grant and 62 of Vernon.
Tbere were an even fifty cbildren
moved from the city during the year,
considerably less than that number
moving in.
Geo. B. Wells has arranged with
Mr. E. C. Oviatt of Battle Creek,
traveling passenger agent of tne
Canadian Pacific railway, to give
here on the evening of June 23 his
"Travel Talk" on the scenery along
this road, also much in tbe western
part of this country. Mr. Oviatt is
paid by his road and receives no
compensation whatever from tbe
community here. It is Mr. Well's
idea to charge a mere nominal admittance of 10 or 15 cents, the proceeds to be used in paying the expenses of an outing for his Sunday
school class.
Mr. Oviatt's lecture is highly commended by the press wherever he
has spoken. Mr. Wells informs as
that Mr. Oviatt goes only to large
towns as a rule, and we may consider
it fortunate that he has been secured
for a town the size of Clare. Comparatively few of us can see these
things personally, so the next best
thing is to see them through tbe
eyes of another. The lecture wili be
illustrated by a large number of
slides.
