URBY.
Thirst Parlor Domain at Last Invaded by Church and Little
'Red School- Is in Prc^
pect.
■ Lo these many years Leota on the
Muskegon has held forth as a laat
outpost unconquered by ohurch and
sohool. The lumberjack in all the
glory of his good natured, boisterous
hilarity has been the typical character^ Generous to a fault, with a touch
perhaps of the modern "call.of the
wild," yet big hearted and showing
in large degree the elemental qualities of manhood, a strange admixture
of virtue and vice, the weaver of the
brilliant colored mackinaw, the
wielder of the axe and the follower
of the drive has continued to give us
glimpses of life typical of what Olare
county was a quarter century ago.
The thirst parlor and the dance-
flourished, the school and the church
never.
Now the old order passeth. Next
Sunday is to witnes"? the dedication
of a church. The story, were it told,
is fit for the novelist.
During the summer an old-superars--
uated methodist minister, 0. W.
Jones* filled the vacancy for the
Harrison M. E. church. He went to
exploring- and learning of Leota's
fame, two saloons and neither church
nor school, hiked thither to see and
then to preach to ready listeners.
Soon they were building a ohurch.
It was to have been completed in
September, in four weeks of actual
time, but unable to get finishing
material the old veteran went to conference without seeing its completion. Some weeks ago he accompanied by his wife, a cultured old
lady, returned to Leota and the consummation of the new church will be
witnessed by presiding elder Bray
next Sunday.
The powers that be', so say those
who know (never a word comes from
the lips of the old divine), didn't
relish the coming of a minister into
their midst. Invitations to come in
and have a drink as well as packs of
cards hurled at him as he passed
didn't even disturb J-he serenity of
his face. The photographer taking
is, picture of the new edifice discovered saloon devotees holding up whis
key bottles behind the minister in
the background ofthe picture*. In
this too they were foiled by a new
view taken unexpectedly. It was all
in hilarity of course but now, 'tis
whispered, the whiskey bottle holders are- fearful lest the picture be
published. The coming of Mrs.
Jones, old, refined, dignified, has a
softening influence. The curious
blendings of the picture are full of
interest to the student of human
character.
But Mr. Jones has been supported.
The completion of a S600 church in
so short a time is eloquent testimony
of this fact, and ample proof of 'the
splendid qualities of residents there.
The church idea, however, is only a
part of the movement. A school is-!
to be held in the ehurch and Eever-
and Jones is to teach till such a time
as the.proper organization is secured
in accordance with law. Twould indeed be worth while no doubt to see
that first day of school, Leota's first'
school, when next Monday Mr. Jones
and his good wife receive the children, probably about thirty, many of
whom regardless of age and size, are,
to put it mildly, none too advanced
in books.
The proposed school district has
long been a problem. Letters to
school commissioners, public meetings and what not were all in vain.
Bat now all the leading citizens are
.for both school and church. Ephriam
Sought, prominent mill man of twen-
•fy-iive years there, is right to the
front of the movement as also is
Ohas. Evans, owner of two mills.
A. E. Rhoades, shingle manufacturer
and store proprietor, is also in its
favor. He has children at Harrison
school and wants school at home.
Barton & Jones, store proprietors,
^lonated land for the church site and
Supervisor "Vanbenschoten is one of
church trustees.
It is certainly not without profit to
peer into experiences such as remiild
us O- many of the conditions of but
recent lumber days .-everywhere in
our very midst. v
m. J» OfBoyd of OtaSimatti Meld
Secretory of Foreign Missionary of
__". S3, church has a great lectuj?e on
China which he will deliver at M.-E.
.elm*.eh, Farwell,. Tuesday evening
November l£i>h.' No admission will
be charged but a silver collection
will be taken. This is one of the
finest lectures on China that is deliv-
„ ei'ed from the roofemmtoday. Every-
Jjady eome,
Sorne Amusing Phases follow in
the Wake of the New York
Stringency.
Gossip is busy this week. The
money question with a political twist
is on tap, but despite some fond
hopes there's nothing in sight.
True some local produce dealers at
Mt. Pleasant and Shepherd temporarily ceased buying owing to banks
not cashing out on cheoks because of
not realizing currency on New York
drafts. Likewise too a, little group of
Glare politicians with knowing winks
opinioned that the elections this week
along with perchance a few financial
squalls between now and next November might give them a chance at
the presidency next fall. But the
facts don't seem to suggest anything
other than a slight readjusting of
prices and a little bit; slowing up on
our industrial life that is certainly
too'fast.
The statement of the Clare County
Savings Bank given elsewhere in this
issue showing the amount of cash deposits available in comparison with
their liabialites, about fifty per cent
cash assets, is the best answer that
can be given as to conditions in this
locality. The New York flurry comes
from Wall Street where gamblers
have been going too fast. This led
New Yorkers to withdraw deposits
from New York'banks. That coming at the time of moving the country's crops causes a lack of currency
to meet the demands of the hour.
Hence to be safe New York banks
are slow in sending out currency, giving credit to outside banking institutions in lieu of Bending currency.
This has raised the rate of discount
and from Europe and other sources
money is now pouring into New York.
Yesterday exchange between New
York and Chicago was again at par.
Everywhere orders to manufacturers are months ahead of what can be
turned out. The Sentinel for example waited twelve weeks for three
windows and a door. Olare merchants give orders for goods months
ahead, in fact before they are manufactured. The Clare' Knitting Mills
last spring took orders for most of
the goods it has been manufacturing
ever since. This is the way of the industrial world today and is indeed a
safeguard unknown till since 1893.
The outlook to our most conservation thinkers in Olare ^has ■ nothing
but a little necessary readjusting of
prices and slowing up of things
generally? It is more or less a yearly occurance to have a money stringency when the crops of the west are
moving to the east and" money from
the east moving westward to pay for
the crops. There is no reason for
pessimism.
