Harrison H. S. 5; Clare H. S. 11.
A goodly number of rooters accompanied tlie Harrison team to Clare
Monday to participate in the base ball
game, but? in spite of many timely
plajs victory again perched on the
banner of the Clareites. Many good
plays were made. The only stirring
incident was the objection made by
Harrisun when Clare in the last inn^
ing tried to substitute an outside
pitcher as McKerracher was injured
in sliding to a base. But when their
protest was made, he .went back to
the box and quickly put gut the necessary three men and won the game.
Coleman 9; Clare 11.
A Mildred strong the Col manites
came to town Monday J*o support their
ball team that played the -Clare city
team. But 'twas in vain. Victory
refused to go with them even though
in the latter part of the game they
did run the basis pretty lively. But
they were a pretty t.ood natured crowd
and everybody enjoyed the fun.
It was Clare's first game this year
and considering that fact, they did
well. Morrison pitched a good game.
Rosebush, plays the Clare boys at the
park Friday.
Decoration Day Observance.
Memorial day was not as strictly observed in Clare Monday as on many
former similar occasions. The old
soldiers, the city bind and about fifty
children, forming inline, marched to
Cherry Grove Cemetery where members
of D. J. Brewer.camp carried out the
usual order of exercises
Some of the old soldiers asserted that
both citizens and the public schools
were negligent of a duty they owe to
the memory of the defenders of tlje
Union in the crisis of the Civil war.
The fact is that with the hand of time
pressing so heavily on the few surviving old veterans, it is necessary that
citizens take direct interest in doing
honor to the dead heroes of the war,
if we are rit-btly to observe Memorial
Day as sacred to the memory Of our
soldier heroes.

Butter and Cheese Markets.
■The recent drop in prices of butter
is a fact not relished by our farming
community. The present slump in
the market is more or less of an annual occurence after the passage from
hay to grass. This year a lot - of old
stock" of butter and a poorer trade
than usual had a depressing effect in
prices. Butter is bringing less~:than a'
"shilling" at local stores.
Reports from "New York and other
markets, however, indicate that recovery to higher prices has already
begun. Prices foi* cheese have been
very low but the cheese market began
to show improvement a week ago.
Some farmers threaten to pay far le^s
attention to dairying but while the
outlook for prices is not the best, yet
it seems too early to conclude that
permanent low figures are to prevail
for cheese ahd butter.

Memorial Day at Harrison..
Harrison Correspondent.
The exercises at the opera house
Decoration Day were the best that
have been given for years. The speaking by Attorney Jonn Quinn and Mr.
Giddins was especially good* The
music and singing was excellent. The
school children bad their parts perfect
and executed'them well. Miss Wagner rendered the poem, "Scatter the
Flowers," in a way that could be excelled by fewtind surpassed by none.
The attendance was large. The
house was filled to its utmost capacity.
The school and most of the citizens
n?arched with the old soldiers to the
"cemetery where the G. A. R. and N
L. V' "S.. in kind remembrance, scattered beautiful flowers upon-the graves
of their comrades and concluded with
the G. A. R. Memorial services.
Morse-Fleming.
Grandon Correspondent.
"Samuel Fleming, who was recently
appointed census enumerator for this
township, made a business trip" to
Harrison Saturday, for the purpose of
receiving instruction in regard to the
taking of the same, but it seems that
he got the words "census" and "senses" misconstrued and received a few
pointers on the latter, instead, for on
his return in the evening, the people
of Grandon were very pleasantly surprised by being introduced to his wife,
Miss Berthyl MOrse, which he had
taken unto himself at the county seat.
Mr. Fleming was born and has
grown to manhood in Grandon, and
he and his wife, who has resided here
for the past four yekrs are among the
most popular young people of the community.
Mr. and Mrs. Fleming will begin
house keeping at once on Mr. Fleming's farm which adjoins his parents,
and they embark on their voyage of
life together accompanied by the best
wishes of a iafge number of friends.

Myriads ot Swallows.
Vast numbers of swallows are this
spring making the city school their
home. Just as darkness begins to fall
they circle around the building and in
the course of an hour disappear in the
chimney and at morning twilight pour
out therefrom and are gone, and from
their activity during the day it is evident that many of them are nesting
therein. They do not occupy the furnace chimney but the one connected
with the sanitarysystem of the school.
By following this down they have access to a large amount of space in the .
chimney, ilself as well as to much
space in the' sanitary system branching therefrom. A number of people
haye withihterest watched their ingoing atnight if nob their exit in the
early morning.
