STRONG SENTIMENT.
For Glare and Isabella County
Agricultural and Industrial
Association.
OPTION SECURED OH A SITE.
Prom the Enthusiasm at the  Saturday
Meeting the Project Seems an Assured Thing.
Over 200 farmers and citizens from
Clare and Isabella counties were
present during the course of the meeting held'in this city last Saturday in
behalf of a bi-county fair and at its
adjournment definate pans had been
formul.ted for its organiza< ion.
Those plans are now being carried
out, .
The meeting was called to order by
0. W. Perry who stated briefly its
purpose and what led to it. A number of those jpresent participated in
the discussion. None opposed it; all
seemed more or less in favor of it provided -ufflcient funds could be raised
to put it on a good basis.
Of the many argument" advanced
in favor of a bi-county fair the following are some of the principal ones:
Comparison of products will bring interchange of ideas and friendly rivalry, Not a better opportunity for organization of a fair any where in this
part of Michigan than here at the
border line of 'hese two counties.
A bi-c -unty fair is preferable in that
it tends to friendly rivalry between
the two counties Good substitute
for such ridiculous street, fairs as the
one held in Clare last summer. "Wil
tend to better understanding of mutual dependence of country and town.
Will promote the development of the
farm community tfs a whole'aud thus
will be aid to the individual. Will
be for the encouragement not only of
agriculture but also for that of our
every creative industry.
The committee on site reported
having secured a sixty-day option on
an admirable tract of thirty acres
within Clare city limits and lyinu jus
west 0' the Pere Marque* te and Ann
Arbor union depot; Their estimates
call for a minimum sum of 82500 with
which to purchase and fence grounds,
build sheds, one hall, two stands and
half mile race track. It should be
said, however, that the opinion of the
meet ng was against going far into
the racing business but to confine
competition to the two counties and
thus aim to improve road stock.
Tne plan adopted for rai-in^ funds
was to issue stock in shares of $1«
each wl'h the idea that One person
take One share, and thus have as many
persons as possible interested. Two
or more persons were appointed to
solicit subscribers for stock in each
township in the two counties. An
executive committee pf Ave was chosen
consisting of 0. W. Perry, chairman,
Clare, Frank Lamoreaux, J. W. Calkins, Philip A. Bennett and L. W.
Sundav to whom the various township
committees are to report by Februa-y
18th and thereafter a meeting of
stockholders will be called for .he
formal organization of the Clare and
Isabella County Agricultural and Industrial Association.
Any not seen personally by the committee for heir township should notify any member of the ex cutive committee of their des re each to take a
share for the furtherance of the fair
project.
It was said at the meeting referred
to above that the cr« dit for the initiative of the enterprise belongs to the
farmers of Isabella, that it is an opportunity such as seldom comes to a
. town like Clare to nelp forward such a
project for the mutual benefit of
country and -own and thai, if Clare
county will take hold of the matter in
the spirit Isabella shows, success will
result.
JOLLY "STAG" PARTY.
Twenty-five Friends Share in the
Honor of Dedicating Frank
B. Doherty's New
Home. t
One of the most enjoyable events of
the ceason was the gathering at ihe
Frank B. Dohe/ty residence, but recently erected on Fifth street, when
twenty-live of his gentleman friends
Monday evening offic ated in dedicating it to the joy and s -nctity of home.
The early part of tne evening was
spent in games. Then followed a
banquet with Will Adams and Geo,
E. Benner supplying the oft returning
wants from delicacfe" that refused to
disguise woman's sk-11 of preparation
In his inimitable, original way S. C.
Kirkbride acted as toastmaster and
under his guidance the spirit. of good
cheer possessed all.
A. R. Canfield glorified the unifying
influence of the "stag" party as
ag .insb the dividt-ig tendencies of tbe
political party, Mayor Lacy felicitated mine host and his good wife on
the good wrought in the social life of
Clare by such an evening as those
present were priveleged to enjoy.
E. G, Welch, Will Adams Frank
B. Dbherty and the. Kirkbride
orchastra discoursed sweet music, ,J. L. Welch burlesqued the Eusso-
lapanesewar, Will Adams gave an
original poem on "mine host," Dr. J.
A. Reeder portrayed some Clare improvements. J. E. Goodman .told
some of his thrilling Oregon experiences, J. A. Jackson gave the origin of
the name Clare from Olare county,
Ireland, Philip A. Bennett narrated
an incident from his wanderings in
London emphasizing the need of ap
preciation of such socal priv la^es as
the evening offered and Senator Doherty, Mayor Lacy and Murney Bell
vied with eacii o.her in story telling.,
The home within is in keeping with
its exterior Built of white pressed
brick and exemplifying tne colonial
cottage style of architecture, it is in
all its appointments worthy of the
name, home.
Swiftly th" hours passed and when
the guests departed homeward they
went prevaded with the spirit of good
fellowship, each little group testifying among < hemselves of their desire
to glorify home and to spread the
kindly feeling of sympathy and good
cheer that the evening brought them.
Typioal Farmers' Glob Meeting
The Wise Farmer's club gatherJ. g
at the home of E. W. Allen in Wise
Tuesday oroogbt together 110, including a sleigh loud from G-imore,
some from Stevenson lake, Clare aDd
other points. The usualstrong points
of this healthy organization were
much in evidence. A schedule of
places or meeting for the next year
'was made out, the next meeting to be
held at James Hersey's in Wise. The
principal subject of discussion was,
What tbe farmers most need. Many
participated and among the things
needed these are some suggested: A
good home, a eood physique, ihe best
education possible aud so on down the
line—the farmer should embody In
his life all the best attainments.
Tbe program was carried Out much as
given in these columns in. a recent is-
'sae.

NEW WATER WORKS!
Clare Decides to Provide for
Her Future Development.
Bonding Proposition Carried by a Vote
of 211 Yes, 62 No.
In a most decisive way the bonding
proposition was apprpved- Monday by
the voters of each Ward of i he city.
The vote was a light? one compared
with the November election yet
a very large percent of the voters recorded their opinion at the polls. h
All the steps required by law will
now be carried out and forthwith bids
on the bonds will be asked for and
Mayor Lacy and some of the. council
are confident of disposing oi the
bonds at such a premium as to bring
the rate of interest within four percent, If this is realized the $14,750 of
bonds will realize, for immediate use,
close to $18,000.
The authorities seem confident that
the new plant, fully equipped, will be
established and all the new mains
laid, giving water to every street but
Cleveland in the platted portion of
the citv, for the $14t750, The balance of the money realized from" bonds
it is designed, will be used as occasion
may arise to replace the present wooden mains.
Here and there ate heard murmurs
that it is not practical to use gasoline
engines as pumping power unless a
big elevated tank be built, but it
seems to be understood that the plan
as previously outlined in these columns, will be carried out in detail.
According to the estimates, about
83,000 will be spent in labor. The
rest will be required for machinery
and supplies.'
So far as can be gathered, even the
few who voted no, now acquiesce in
the furtherance of the public improvement to be pushed forward. At least
it can not be said that Clare lacks in
duly preparing for future possibilities.
GOAL NEAR MT. PLEASANT.
Seven Foot Sean^ Discoved on
.tne John Marz Farm.
The coal was first definitely located
by the Ohemic .1 company in sinking
their wells. Later, other-, prospected
and Farmer Marz was successful in
finding a seven foot vein.
It. is now remembered that many
ye»rsano Indians told Mr Marz there
was coal on his land, but no effort appears to have been made to develop it
partly because there was considerable
dour>t, but mainly for lack of means.
The latter obstacle no longer exists
and it is p ssibi* tbe vein of cOal may
in its development yet result in making Marz a rich man.
. E. R. Ro&SinaHey,
In the death of Mrs. E, E. Smalley
Sunday after an illness of over a year,
ano her of Clare's p oneers has gone to
that land beyond the reach of mortal
ken. AppOplexv was the cause Of
death. The funeral occured from the
home Wednesday, Rev. G. W. Maxwell officiating, and interment was
made at. Cherry Grove.
Eliza J. Roberts-Smalley was born
in Delaware Co,, H. Y,, in 1840 Moving to Michigan, in 18o8 she was married to E. E Smalley in Kent county,
Thrty years ago they settled on a
farm south of Clare and subsequently*
moved into town. Thirteen children
were born to them of whom With the
husband six sons'survive: Robert of
Cambridge Springs, Pa, fharles of
Pinconningand Elzy, Fred, Frank and
Mile-/ of Clare.
From a distance there were present
at„the funeral her sons, Robert, of
Pennsylvania, and Charles with h s
wife from Pinconning, Mrs. Geo. Smalley of Lansing and Mrs: J. Eddy of
Charlotte.
Impressions of the Great West
From a interes'inu letter from Mrs.
F. E Munger, who recently wen&to
Gold Bar. Washington, from Farwell.
w** give some extracts descriptive of
the country there and existing conditions:
As we sweep on westward, what lots
of horses and cattle. Some places the
prairie is dotted with them as far as
the eye can reach. Here and there
small houses, almost like hen coops,
they sef m to us, rise our, of the plains.
The impression of seeing vast plains
with mountains in the distance with
now and then at some, of the stations
Indians in their peculiar garb, is in
marked contrast with traveling in
Michigan. I had no idea the Rocky
Mountains were so black and so high.
Passing through the CasC.de Mountains, what heights and depths there
are. In some cases it looks as if there
were vast dug outs in the earth with
here and there a little snow. People
live in the valleys. In some places
theTockslook like our stump fences.
The country looks encouraging to us.

LEGISLATIVE   COMMITTEES,
Visited   State  Institutions   Last
Week---Impressions. of Agricultural College.,
Lansing, February 0, 1905.
The legislature has been in reces?
all the past week, while the, committees have been paying their visits of
inspection to the various institutions
of the state, and tbe senate chamber
and representative hall and their auxiliary rooms have been deserted.
Somewhat'less of bustle may have
been apparent-in the corridors of the
capitol and tbe lobbies of the hotels,
but not elsewhere would the absence
•if the lawmakers produce a visible
i-llect. Some people in the state perhaps think Lansing must be a lone-
Rnme place in the intervals between
sessions, not realizing that their
capitol city is one^f the most thrifty
and progressive tow/is of the state.
Its manufacturing Interests are large,
numerous and varied, and rapidly expanding, One building of a new automobile factory erected in the last six
months extends solid across two entire
blocks, and a second nearly as far;
and these are to be duplicated next
spring, and builders reckon that the
bouses erected here in the past year
number 450. A town of twenty thousand "people that can do that doesn't
get lonesome whens,the'legislature adjourns. One of the new buildings was
a Methodist church, dedicated last
Sunday, and the prosperous people
responded with contributions of $1500
In"excess of the debt they were asked
to pay. It is to house the oldest congregation here, whose first service
was held sixty years ago." Rev. Lewis
Oolburn preached the sermon in 1845.
Tbe number of committees of the
two bouses that have been engaged
the past week in visjting the prisons,
reformatories, asylums, homes and
schools of the state, number more
than forty, with a total memberhip of
nearly two hundred. So it is evident
that when they were all'but there
could not be left of the .one hundred
and forty members of the two houses
enough even to call for the regular
order, and some of tbem have had a
harder week's work then they have had
while in session here We should be
glad that the localities have treated
tbem well, and we need not call it a
"junket", nor in any wise unseemly
■ >r unsuitable on either side that they
were entertained at dinner by the people of Ypsilanti, or Marquette, or
Houghton, or by the Soldiers' Home
or the Agricultural College.
* * * * ■
The series of low-rate excursions
which have brought visitors in large
numhers from various parts of tbe
state to the college located here in the
past three or four summers, have done
much to acquaint the people of
the state with tlie institution and to spread a more adequate
knowledgeof its Importance and value. Tbe farmer, who a few years ago
looked upon a college education as important for a professional career but
of little practical value on the farm,
and his educated son who regarded a
return to tbe farm as an abandonment
of the advantages of bis education,
have been rapidly revising their estimates, and are becoming eager to apply tbe instruction of the class room
and tbe "experiment station to the
work of the fields; and they have
learned what numbers of them did
not know, that they have at the capitol of their .state an institution for
that work standing at tbe very head
of its class, with an equipment that
is an astonishment to them, a campus
the largest in the .world, with more
than half a hundred splendid buildings and all of them already used to
the limit, with need for more and
larger. What has been done is the result of the far sighted wisdom with
whicb our state affairs 'have been directed, and the same control is prepared to go forward jn'the same line
as fast and as far as the public need
and the popular desire shall direct.

Potatoes are bringing when hauled

So much timber has been hauled to

saying they are swamped.
Notwithstanding' $75,000 spent for
drains during 1904, the Wagner drain,
a branch of the North Branch has
just been added to the county's ditch
program. It is to be over four miles
long.
One brother in the norlih parfof the
county continually laments that tbe
cropsof 1904 were the'worst in fifteen

that 1905 will be the best in fifteen

The last echo of Isabella's frenzied
finance, in oil away down In old Ken-

that the Star Oil Co," has amicably

that tbe old Shepherd creamery building and lots belonging theeto have

O. L. Yost and Bert Green last November brought some goods to Shepherd.. Subsequently they tried to sell
them without procuring a village license. Suit was brought against them
by the village. Defendents have four
attorneys and, though defeated in
justice court, will appeal the case to
tbe circuit court.
On a charge of stealing a horse and
buggy at Weidman Dempster Myers
was on the last day of 1904 sentenced
by Judge Dodds to five years of hard
labor, but be was^iven bis freedom on
probation. Ten days ago he repeated
the crime, this time at Shepherd, and
tried to dispose of the outfit at Alma,
but he was nabbed and now at least
five years awaits him.
The membership of Mt. Vernon
grange in the eastern part ot Vernon
township well illustrates the axiom
of "Learning by doing." In the last
year or two since the organization' of
the grange a number of the members
have often been put forward to do
certain work publicly with tbe result
that.a good proportion know not a little of par'liamentry laws and are
ready to put up a flght in debate for
any point they deem expedient. At
least John Northon who was master
of the.grange during its formative
process and G. C. Leibrand who as
one of the state deputies, has been
equally active along with a number of
other good workers, are justly proud
of the record of Mt. Vernon grange.
The most peculiar looking conveyance on the roads of the county tbis
winter is the stage which goes from,
Mt. Pleasant to-Weidman and back a
distance of 16 miles. The rig looks
like a small house on runners, It
appears to be built of wood with several windows, and contains a stove,
and is closed, with small holes in the
front to admit the reins being manipulated. And to crown all, it is paint-
td a bright yellow. The dwellers
along the stage line seem to appreciate? the comfort of the vehicle. and
patronize it well. This is the first
time since the town was built that
Weidman has had direct mail communication with the county ' seat,
though only about sixteen miles away.
The mail has taken a circuitous route

TRAGEDY AT HARRISON.
-
John H. Richmond Ends His
Lifewith a Bullet through
'   His. Brain.
Formerly County Treasurer and One of
the Most Popular Men in the
County.
Harrison was the scene of a terrible
fatality Monday when in & moment of
seeming temporary insanity John
Richmond took his own life, with a
thirty-two calibre revolver putting a
bullet through his brain. The act
was so unaccountable to the people of
Harrison who had so long all numbered the unfortunate man among their
friends, that the town has yet. scarcely
recovered from the shock of the awful
tragedy.
Mr, Richmond was at his home for
dinner Monday at the usual time. He
ulked very little but seemed to be
natural in all he did. On the way
back to his store.he was met by one
or two persons and spoke in his usual
genial way, that long ago won so many
friends for him all over the county.
At two o'clock some one going to the
store found the door locked and,
on looking in, saw Mr. Richmond on
the floor in the back put of the store.
There they found his lifeless form, a
hole into the brain at the upper limit
of the forehead, and still holding the
revolver in one hand and his glasses
in the other.
It appears from the facts that he
must have deliberately looked the
door, gone to the. back of the store,
drawn a revolver and, standing in
front of the mirror there, to be sure
of aim, raised it high enough that on
discharging the weapon the bullet
took a downward course to the base
of the brain.
A jury was empanelled and a verdict returned in accordance with the
facts, but nothing particular was revealed throwing light upon the motive that led to the fatal act.
'John Richmond was one of Clare
county's pioneers. Over thirty years
ago he located in the north part of the
county. He has always been popular
with all wlib knew him and from the
natural good cheer that seemed ever
to proceed spontaneously from him,
no one would ever have imagined such
a fate as was his. Reliable and
straightforward in aJl his doings, he
was one of the county's best treasurer's, an official who deservedly won
the confidence of the people. The funeral occured Wednesday.
