At St. Cecelia's church Monday
morning was solemonized the nuptials of Marie, eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. Gibis o! Grantf, and
Raymond, youngest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo, Lockwood, ot Winterfield.
Miss Flossie M:Keever presided- at
the instrument as the bridal party
marched up the aisle to the altar and
in the characterestically impressive
service Kev. Fr. McAlister spoke the
words pledging them to eaoh other
for life.
The bride was prettily gowned in
white silk, and attended by her sister, Miss Anna. Frank Jackson was
' best man. Following the ceremony
the wedding party repaired to the
Gibis home north of the city where a
number of relatives and friends Bat
down to the wedding breakfast.
Many valuable gifts attest good will
for this new-home.
The bride is one of the thoroughgoing, dependable young ladies true to
the better instincts of womanoood
and has many friends for what she
herself is. For tbe past two years
she has been a compositor in the
Sentinel office. The groom is a progressive young farmer and the two
.give promise of continuing the substantial work in Winterfield charac-
terestic.of these two famalies of industry. Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood
will reside with his people on the
farm taking up the work the old
people now find a burden.
Among the guests were Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Lockwood and Mr. and
Mrs. Lewis Lockwood, all of winter-
field.
Mrs. Willis Lamb.
At her home on State street August 12 occured the death of • Mrs.
Willis Lamb at.the age of 60 vears,
five months and two days from heart
failure. The funeral- occured from
the home Monday, Rev. G. D.. Kaufman preaching the sermon.
Emma M. Wrigbtman was born
at St. Olair March 10, 1849. In 1870
she became the wife of Willis Lamb.
Two sons survive, John and Ofaarles
of Olare. Besides these three step
children survive, Orville Lamb of
Coleman, Lester Lamb of Saginaw
and Mrs. Wm. Sheek of Chicago, all
present at the funeral. T^venty-five
years ago the family came to Olare
and loeated on the homestead in
Grant. For the past two years she
has resided in Olare. In earlier
years she was a member of the M.
E. church at Saginaw. Both she and
her husband who preceded her in
Cherry Grove were good types of
honest, industrious citizenship.
Friends of Mrs.' Willis Lamb were
shocked to hear of her sudden death
of heart disease. Before going tore-
side at Olare, Mr. and Mrs. Lamb
were pioneer people of this place,
they having came from Saginaw
here while this was nothing more
than a wilderness. v
But with toil they cleared the soil
and made a home. After years spent
here, they moved to town. John,
their son, residing on the farm.
In bis bereavement he has our
sympathy.
Her Horsemen And Supporters Largely
Made Meet Successful.
The opening of the »Bi-Oounuy Fair
Association race track was success-
full Saturday in' every particular^
races, spectators, fitness of track
and interest tor the/ntuture development of the association grounds.
Fully 2000 people wore on hand and
it was a jRamarkably good natured,
orderly crowd. From Vernon bill
the spectacle of sace grounds and
Concourse of people was a big advance indeed overthe time when tbe.
grounds were for much of the year t
a flooded  swamp*
The only incident to mar the day
was that Little Jim owned by !Nealy
of Gladwin after winning the* first
heat of the three minute trot and
pace fell soon after crossing the
line for some unknown reason but
people, however, did not pay. Some
men were cheap enough to dodge all
the way around and steal onto the
grounds for 25 cents. A large number openly stood oh the Pere Marquette railroad tracks and took in e-
vents without paying a cent and
among these were those who. would
seemingly be tbe last to put themselves in such a light (or" & mere 25
cents. However, the association
management expect to facilitate the
handling of the crowd at the next
meet, late in September.
The officers of the day were: Br,'
Cfafts, Stirling^ starter; W. H. Cole,
Ales Graham and Daniel Grouse,
judges; A. R. Mussell, timekeeper
and officiated in a very acceptable
manner.
The Gladwin Record of this* week
says;
Some 50 Gladwinites went over to
Clare to witness the races Saturday
afternoon at the opening of Clare's
new track. Four Gladwin horses
were entered. In the free-for-all trot

horse and driver escaped practically, tkree-minute race Fran*k Finzet had
without injury but  kept the horse
out of the race as a possible contender for first money.
. The best time 1:07% was made in
the third heat of the free for all by
Ridpath owned by McNeil Bros,,
establishing this as the track's record
thus far. The following is the 'summary of the races:

Isabella farmers, one and all regardless of whether or not they are granger.
L. W. Oviatt of Bay Oity, a member of the State Grange executive
committee, is to'give the.address. in
the afternoon. This annual picnic
has a reputation for somethingworth
while and it will be a gbod day for an
outing.

The greased pig wasn't as easy to
catch as he looked, but was finally
oornered-and captured by A. DePot-
ty, Glenn Feighner and -John Walsh
and sold for five dollars and the proceeds divided between them.
The ball game at the close between
' Gilmore and Vernon township teams
was most exciting. With Rev. Quinton Walker as coach the Gilmore
boys finally ran in nineteen scores
but Vernon got one better and thus
-won tbe game. The committee on
sports with genial John H. Wilson as
acting chairman deserve great credit
for the successful sports and pleas

The soul-is safe in Heaven.      x
