J.F. Tatman and A. E. Mulder
Reelected Trustees—175
Voters Present.
$3,500 Voted School Tax, $1,7430 Less
Than Last Year-Out of Debt.
In every day parlance there was
"nuthin doin' " at the annual school
meeting Monday evening but expectation was keyed up to a high pitch
with pretty near everybody on hand
ready to be in it at the final voting
stunt should a real contest arise.
The shadow of, coining events, however, was so unmistakable, as the
high school filled to overflowing that
everybody hastened to cover under
the shield of .the majority and practical unanimity, without any picturesque   debating   or oratorical display,
J. P. TATMAN.
Is written in large letters on the biggest school meeting Glare ever had.
President Perry called the meeting
to order and secretary Tatman read
the board's annual report and recommendations from which* a few interesting figures are gleaned.
Total expenditures for year $8004 00
Actual running expenses       5393 76
Paid teachers' wages 4125.00
Paid debt and improvements 4731.09
Bal. in treasury to date 2120.85
Voted taxesfor 1906 3")00 00
The item "debt and improvements
$4731.09" is made upfront the lavbbond
and interest ,$?220, sidewalk $101,
library books $118.77, sewer pipe $5110
school seats $31.90, laboratory supplies
$8147. Last year the total expenditures were $7,528 08 Primary money
amounted to $1850,10; last year it was
.$1,796,07, Tuition was $203.18; last
year it was $116.46; in 1898 it was
$43.10. Last year the voted taxes
were $5200.
Before reading his report Mr. Tatman called attention to a petition he
found among the school records, sign-
time previously positively declared
themselves not candidates, The
majority, however, cast their votes
just the same, the first ballot electing
J. F- Tatman with 133 votes out of
152 and the second A, E Mulder with
136 out of 154. "Women and others
present no 6 voting brought the total
voters present up to 175. The largest
prior vote was in 1904 when F. O. San-
ford received 63 votes and A. R. Can-
field 22. *«
Mr. Tatman has served as secretary
Of the board of education for the
past twelve years and will undoubtedly be reelected at the reorganization
of the board, He is most painstaking in the duties of the office giving
more careful attention to the minutest details than do most men in a
similar place of public trust. • Dr.
Mulder was appointed by the board a
few months ago to fill the unexpired
term on the removal of O, B. Thayer
from Glare and his election by such
an unprecedented vote it strong endorsement of the board's selection.
The action ofthe largest school meeting in the history of Olare speaks for
itself.  ,
Here anf There in Isabella,
The Gorham Bros, of Mt. Pleasant,
recently burned out, wantf a $10,000
bonus to rebuild their plant at- the
county seat.
Mt. Pleasant is up against the
problem of iarger water supply. The
p'an proposed to enlarge the present
plant aDd contract with Harris Milling Co to pump the water. But for
the expense Cold water lake would be
tapped. No municipal operating for
Mt. Pleasant. An analysis of tbe
present supply shows it none too
«oud.
Tbe following brand new fish story
is told by the OentralMichigan Times:
Dan Johnson and Frank E'lls took a
tent with them to Indian Greek the
first of the week prepared to spend a
few days iu camp. They caught an
elegant lot of fish the first day, and
before starting out for the second day's
sport tbey had dressed "and on ice just
50 splendid juicy trout. In tbeir
absence, however, a brindte boss and
another cherry red interfered with
bhe camp economy, and when the fishers returned hungry and thinKlng on
the excellent mess that, waited them
imiglne their amiziment when they
discovered the intruding cows had
eft them but one small fry. They
can't be blamed for being discouraged
and they folded their tents like the
A.rabs and silently stole away.

Important Meeting at the Town
Hall Saturday Evening.
The citizens of Grant township are
alive on the question ot good roads.
The bee on the Dover road recently
renewed the discussion with the result that a public meeting is called
for Saturday evening July 14th at
eight o'clock at the town hall to discuss the question and to devise ways
and means for building a portion of
road somewhere in the township that
shall be in accordance with existing
state law so as to claim the state aid
for such road so built.
This movemant is an important
one. The first expense of building
good roads is large but even a mile of
good road built each year brings better results tban the mere puttering
that too often is in evidence under
the present system. *

the spacious libray where were very
daintily served the refreshments, consisting of pretty silver banded sandwiches, olives, cocoa, ice cream and

One of the pleas rat things of the
evening was that Mrs. Littlefield carried the tan and Mr. Littlefield wore
the white vest worn on that happy
and memorable day twenty-five years
before. The happy and respected,
couple were recipients of many very
beautiful and costly presents .showing
the high esteem in which they are
held by their many friends. After
heartly congratulations, wishing their

Notes to Stock Owners.
It is evident fiat it is not • necesB-
ary' for stock owners to go out of
Olare to get a veterinary surgeon to
do their work as shown by the operation on the K. Turner horse. After
other veterinaries had operated in vain
to relieve the anlmil from a throat
trouble Dr. Bower placed a trachea
so successfully that the horse now
breathes through it instead or the
nose and does his usual work on the
farm or , on the road., The horse
can be seen at the Turner farm in
