Evening Weddings Out of Date.
Evening weddings are "out of date"
and what woman looks her best in
pure white by daylight. It is trying
even to the fairest skin, and disastrous
in the extreme to a brunette. So it
cornea about that the brides of this
fail have thrown conventional ideaa of
costume to the four winds, and are
introducing colors in their wedding
gowns—just a touch here and there to
relieve the monotony of the dead-
white effect,—-September Woman's
Home Companion.
Co-Par tn ersli i p.
For the past three years and more
the Sentinel has been under the immediate control and management of
the undersigned. We are pleased at
this time to announce that the business has grown in these years to the
extent that one man cannot longer attend to all the duties devolving upon
a country editor, and alter careful
consideration, have sold a half interest in the business and plant to ex-
Supt. of schools, Philip A. Bennett,
who having resided three years in our
midst, needs no Introduction to our
readers. With added capital and
ability, a large amount of new type
and materia], the installment of a
new gasoline engine, and many other
office conveniences, the Sbntistel
will appear, in the near future, enlarged, and will continue to be, what
it has always been, the leading newspaper in Clare county. We appreciate the kind considerations shown us
in years past, and express tte belief
that the efforts the firm will make to
give the peeple the most for their
money, will be appreciated to the extent that the business will continue
to grow, and that the Sehtimbl will
continue to be a household word.
•E. G. Welch.
Witb the slight change in management upon which the Sentinel eaters with this issue there will be no
marked departure from the policy

development of the agricultural and
other resources "of the cpuntry of
which Glare is the centre,- now going
on. We therefore deaire to give a
larger space to tbe agricultural life of
the aurrounding country, farms and
farm products.

CSare-Herrick. M. E. Church Work
Next Sunday marks the close of the
conference year for the Methodist
church, Rev. Hathaway has for the
last two years had charge of the
churches here and at Herrick. At a
recent meeting of the official boarda
of the two churches, presiding eider
Masters of ihe Big Rapids district
present, an invitation waa extended
to him to return for the third year.
During tbe past year $220 of debt on
church property haa been paid off at
Herrick and 8150 in Clare. The property ia free from debt at ISeijick
while a debt of $250 remains on the
Clare property, accumulated earlier
than two years ago. .In the paying off
of old debts, laying a stone foundation under the church building, erecting, a barn for the parsonage and
other improvements, the chureh property here has been increased in valuation $700 in the last two years, Which
with that done at Herrick; amounta
very nearly to $1000.
The church benevolences for this
year amount to $115—for both
churches. The Sunday schools enroll
200 pupils. At Herrick the church
membership is forty-two and at Glare
nlnety-aix. Two missionary societies
have also . been organized in
the past two years.   When all pledges
have been paid there will be $30 unpaid on the pastor's salary and an effort ia being made to meet thia deficit.
Rev. Hathaway'a work has bee©
substantial and needs no comment.
There is need of a few active, responsible Workers for leadership, especially in the Clare charge.
Rev. Hathaway goes next Tuesday
to the Michigan conference whicb
convenes this year at Traverse City-
Theatrical Notes.
The theatrical Season opened most
auspiciously at the Doherty opera
house last Friday evening in the presentation of Edward Weitzel's Tide of
Life. The company was greeted with
a very go.od house and the presentation of the play was satisfactory.
Last evening Edwin Southers' -company presented his play, The Diamond
King, whi^h was in every way a verjv
creditable performance.
Some noticeable improvements ha-ve
been made at the opera houae and -r
fine new drop curtain added.
Manager F, E. Doherty is to be -congratulated on his effort to give 'Ginr$
playgoers aome good  entertaiMaenft.
