COUNTY FAIR SEPT. 28-30.
Clare County's Farm Products
Will be in Evidence at Har- .
rison on Those Dates.
Arrangements are being perfected
for tbe annual county fair to be held
under the auspices of the Glare County
Agricultural Society at the fair
grounds at Harrison, September 28th,
29th and 30th.
A premium list has heen prepared
aDd all the details necessary for the
success of such an exhibit of agricul-
' tural products are being carefully
worked out. Those wishing further
informationTshould write the officers:
President, A. E Doty. Harrison.
Secretary, John Qufnn, Harrison.
Treasurer, Marion Caner,  Harrison.
A number of races have'been arranged for among which are: Tnree
minute trot, races involving bitching
' up of horses, mile heats, one-half
mile dash, running races, trotting race
for farmers' horses. Furthefinforma-.
tion can be had by writing the secretary of the Harrison Trotters' Association, W. W. * Burnett, Harrison.
Ball games are also arranged for.
Glare county has in recent years
•made rapid progress in her agricultural products, winning last year third
premium for grains and vegetables at
the state fair. It is, therefore,
greatly to be desired thab our farmers,
as well as others, take additional interest in our county fair and by their
exhibits help make it tbe success that
will contribute to the development of
our couuty.
AT HOME AFTER 70 DAYS.
Lewis' White Front -the First  to
be Completed from out of the
Ruins of the Fire.
Less than three months ago W. P.
Lewis was doing business in what was
then one of Clare's old. landmarks.
Monday morning of this week found
him again at the old stand. But how
marked the contrast! Nob a trace of
the old wooden structure remains.
Fire disposed of that along with many
more. But in its place is a modern
structure, and built, as it is, of white
pressed brick, is already known as the
"White Front." The large plate glass
display window is in keeping there;
witli In the interior tlie steel ceiling and the entire side walls and rea.r
sealed in Georgia pine, give an appearance of elegance.
Suitable new furniture has been installed. A large ."tobacco case, niade
by Thurston .& Son ancl other new-
(jases and counters all combine to
make one of the best equipments for a
general tobacco store in this part of
the state. A full line of pipes, smoking and chewing tobacco and smoking
articles and cigais manufactured 'by
the only W. P. himself are always in
stock. The fame of the "White
Front" grows apace.

The fact that a large number of
Clare county's teachers take a summer
course of study in Mt. Pleasant, Big
Eapids or Ypsilanti leaves but a few
who would be in attendance at a
week's summer institute. For this
reason the commissioner is in accord
with the idea of the department of
public instruction, who feel that the
good derived from over half of our
teachers taking a six weeks' course in
summer school is far greater than to
have a summer institute and not so
many attending the summer school.
This leaves us the three day inspiration institute which is of the greatest
help to. our teachers.
Thanks to the farmers' institute,
the good derived from these shows the
farmers*that a similar benefit must
needs come to teachers from their in-
sfcifcutes.-so there are no more wails
going up because the teachers are paid
for attendance at' these most beneficial gatherings ,
"Clare county is indeed fortunate in
Securing workers such as we have this
year. Dr. C. O Hoyt, at the head of,
the department of pedagogy in the Ypsilanti Normal College and recently
a graduate of. the Jena (Germany)
University, has been appointed conductor, and Miss Irene L. Getty, former critic/teacher in the Mt. Pleasant;*
Normal training school, now commissioner of schools of Kalkaska county,
is instructor. It is a strong combination, and with such able personages in
charge of the institute, an educational
wakening in the schools of the county
is expected.       „
It has been arranged to have a free
lecture Thursday evening by Dr. Hoyt
and another Friday evening by Miss
Getty. Other announcements will follow later.
The county board of examiners have
arranged to allow three per cent on
certificates of those in attendance the
full three days. It may also be stated
that the professional spirit of teachers
absenting themselves from this** institute will be considered by the board
at a low ebb, unless sickness or death
keep*? them away. *. l
M.. E. Pastor Four Years,
Somewhat contrary to precedent
Hev. W. J. Hathaway has remained
with the Clare-Herrick charges continuously for four years. In general
his work lias been so acceptable that
through the proper official board he
has been invited to return for the
Qf th year. Bub it seems probable that
.the close of the conference year last
Sunday marks the close of bps work
here.     In   re
cent years the
Michigan conference has not
made many
changes in the
Big Rapids district. This
year owing to
a long period
of service at
each point,
changes /are anticipated at Evart,
Reed City, Cadillac,.Ludington and a
number of other places. But no one
can tell in advance just what the conference now in session at Grand Rapids
will do.
During Rev. Hathaway's pastorate
here improvements made in and debts
paid off from church property amounted to something over $2,000 He has
in the Jour years officiated at. sixty-
live deaths, only eight of which have
'been from among his parishoners. " He
has tied the marriage knot for. Mby-
two couples, twenty-one of the number during the past pear. In steadfast work he has set a high standard.
The best wishes of many friends will
be wi£h him wherever his lot may be.
