ANOTHER BRICK BLOCK.
Davy & Co. to build on Corner
of McEwan and Fourth
Streets.
Few towns of the size of Clare have
so many fine brick blocks as are found
hr-re. But Davy & Co. will in the
coining spring replace the wooden
structure, now used for their clothing
department, on the corner of McEwan
and fourth streets, with a modern
brick block. The new building will
not be built so as to appear in form a
continuation of the present Elden-
Mussell-Davy block adjoining, but will
be architecturally different. It is to
be 22x100 feet and will be constructed
in accordance with the best ideas as
to how a modern clothing store should
be arranged, and will be worthy of a
place with the Wolsey, Calkins, Jack
son-Fox blocks at the cr, ssing of the
two streets mentioned above, already
testifying to the substantial growth
of Clare and.surrounding country.
Davy & Co. even with present facilities do an enormous amount of business and they do such a volume for
these reasons: .They carry a large
' stock, what they say about goods
placed on sale is to be depended on, and
weekly through the columns of the
Sentinel they tell the public about
the goods offered for sale.

Balance the Books.
January 1st, 1904, is the date
when a large number of Senti-.
nel subscriptions expire and,
we call the attention of our
readers to this matter and ask
that they make prompt settlement. "We" don't want the
Sentinel, to go to any home
where it is unwelcome, nor do-
•*, we try to force the paner onto
%" anyone. We are end.'-s '.Mring to
**?* give our readers so i.t ich real
news of the locality Mil county
in which tliey live, as well as valuable reading matter, that they
cannot afford to do without our
paper. We are working toward;
a strictly cash-in-advance system,
and already find this is far more-
satisfactory, in the long run, tO'
both subscribers and publishers-
than to permit newspaper accounts to accumulate year af ter
ycar. The very few delinquents,
yet on our list, we respectfully
ask to call and square up.
" We shall spare no effort to describe the life and deve opment_
of country and town, Of our people, and shall continue to make
all improvements practical im
giving the readers of the Sentinel the best possible service im
return for their liberal patronage.      Very respectfully,

A cute traveling man at Hotel King
Monday undertook to rattle a waitress at the dlnper table by continuous
calling for "bay and oats." It became so vexing to the girl that abejj
concluded to bring him what he asked j
for If it could be obtained. ': After a
brief absence she returned from the
kitchen with a whisp of hay and a
small sack of oats neatly placed upon
a plate." The laugh tjien on the diner bv tbe other guests became uproarious, and It Cost him a ten dollar
bill in treating the house before quiet

Another old Clare resident' passed
into the Unknown Monday in the
death of Charles 3ST. Goodenow. At
Thanksgiving time he went to Jennings with the intention of starting a
store thore but complications arising
indirectly from a wound received in

officiating and the interment was made
at Cherry Grove.
Charles Goodenow was born at East
Eush in New York in 1843. In 1863
he enlisted in the 8th New York
Heavy Artillery ahd, participating in
a number of important battles in
the army of the Pontiac, continued on
duty through the war till wounded
while on picket duty before' Petersburg, receiving a wound in the leg
that later brought on rheumatism and
other complications and finally resulted in his death at the age of sixty.
During a furlough in 1864 he married
the wife who now mourns his demise,
and to that union eleven children were
born of whom these" survive: Mrs.
Eobert Bauder, Yernon; Mrs. Cyrus
Babcock, Clare; Mrs. Frank Badgley,
Herrick; Elmo Goodenow, Temple;
Mrs. John Womer and Charles Goodenow of Jennings and Celia Goodenow
of Clare, all of whom were present at
the funeral.
After the war was over and he had
recovered from the wound of. battle,
Mr. and Mrs. Goodenow moved to
Michigan,^locating first at Holly and
later at Flint. In 1880 they moved to
Clare where they have since resided.
Here he engaged in the harness business till rheumatism compelled him'to
give it up. Two weeks ago he left
home in comparative health but,
stricken down, he .has been laid away
to his last resting place to answer to
answer to thelast roll call.
