A*JOLLY GOOD TIME
Such    Was   the   Farmers'   Club
Meeting at J. H. Seeley's
Tuesday.
Somewhat to the surprise of the
genial host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs.
5. H. Seeley, over seventy-flve farmers,
Wives, sons and daughters of Wise
and Vernon bad assembled quite a
while before the noon hour arrived, in
response to an invitation extended by
them some two weeks ago.
PresidentJB. W.Allen of the Wise
township club in a few well chosen
remarks, introduced as the president
Of the day At. E. Kane, one of Issabella
-*p county's prosperous farmers living near
Mt. Pleasant. Mr. Kane is a typical
farmer, a level-beaded business man,
and as beconfesserf, having a few drops
of Irish blood coursing through his
veins, his wit kept tbe meeting lively at
all times. In his introductory speech
lie brought out tbe pertinent thought
that for farmers to get together and
have these club meetings dispels petty
neighborhood quarrels, and this is
worth the organizing were nothing
else accomplished.
J. M. Seeley gave an address of welcome well received. He assured tbe
members of the club that the latch-
string was on the outside, and the
bull-dog chained and thus they found
it. Jim said those assembled were all
farmers, tbe preacher and editor being
y eligible because they married farmers'
daughters. Milo Lamphere responded
to the address of welcome and Key.
Hathaway lead in' prayer,
The program was carried out as printed last week with few changes, lack
of space preventing personal mention
Of the various topics. The dinner was
pronounced by Rev. Hathaway as tbe
best number on the program and
* tfhiie the writer enjoyed it all we
heartily agree with our clerical
Brother.
TbO ladies subject touched gently
fin the feelings of those tender in
years yet in love, tbe conclusion seem*
im to be that It's better,, young man,
to get the cage before you capture the
MvA, and better for the trirl Who
jflarriesa man capable Of supporting
■' .Her. .
• .   The hospitality of Mr.  and Mrs.
Seeley and" their estimable family was
isy iaarked throughout the day   every
jnfcmber doing his or her utmost to
jnafca the visitors thrice   welcome.
Just one word in conclusion, which
sounds a warning note: Don't any
farmers' club invite Hathaway and
Welch to your meetings unless you
mean it, for we are so constituted we
can't refuse to accept.
James A. Kirkpatrick.
On the forenoon train yesterday
arrived the body of James A, Kirkpatrick from Oxford, Indiana, where
he had resided for six years,
James was a son ot Mr. and Mrs. J
I. Kirkpatrick, now of Alberta, and
spent his boyhood days on a farm
south of this city. He learned the
printing trade in Mt. Pleasant and
years ago worked iu the printing
office for M. D. Eaton on the paDer
which has verged into the Sentinel,
and while he was foreman here the
writer was an apprentice under his
direction. He worked on tbe Saginaw
Oourier-Herald, leaving this position
to go to Oxford where he worked
steadily for six years on tbe Oxford
Tribune. While in Clare Jim went
in tbe best of society and was a young
man whose pleasing manners won for
him hosts of friends wherever he
went. At Oxford he was village clerk
two years and we understand was
chairman of the republican county
committee. He was so Well acquainted with tbe governor and so
well did he impress the state executive, that his name had been favorably mentioned for state auditor.
He died of acute mania at a hospital
in Indianapolis, Indiana, last Saturday morning and his remains haying
been shipped here, the funeral was
conducted, from tbe heme of his
brother, John Kirkpatrick, yesterday
afternoon, J&ev. A. L, Woodlock of the

Tbe bride is one of Clare's highly,
respected and most estimable young I
ladies. She has a wide circle of admiring friends whose best wishes go

For several years she has held a responsible position as deputy postmaster and it was while she was acting in this compacity that she became
so widely known. Mr. Denman is

bright prospects for advancement in
