Mlchtean.railroads, and at the southern terminus of the Saginaw & Clare County railroad, which latter. Js owned and operated by the I*. &P. M. company. Clare is fifty miles north and west of East
Saginaw; in the south--east corner of Glare county: geographically speaking, near the center of the
■ lower peninsula of Michigan. The " "Mother Earth" upon, which the village now stands was, previous to 1868. an unbroken forest.. About this time people were attracted this way by the valuable
timber and rich farming lands, when the town was founded and the country surrounding began to
be settled upon. In the spring of 1871 the iron horse made Its advent into this section, which added
a new. Impetus to the development of .the country. The village's, growth has not oeen rapid,, but
steady and permanent, and is now classed as the most Important and livliest town In Central Michigan; Today Its business "may be briefly summarized as follows; Three saw mills, 1 shingle" mill, 1

An exchange says that if you wish to
find out whether or not the water you are
drinking or using for culinary'purposes
is pure, take a teaspoonful of white sugar
and put it in a bottle of water you desire
to test and hang it iri the sun for a little
while. If it is good it will retain its color and if it colors it is not fit to use. It
is an easy testto make and we hope our
readers will give it a trial.

The annual township election is not far

friends are already thinking and talking
on the question ofx who will make the

next year ? The' question of better roads
is of vital interest to the farmer and he
should take every means possible to improve them. . Good roads are not only a
pleasure but a great saving, to those who
drive over them, so let's improv"? them.

Mrs. B. B. Farrar, of Evart, thought
the cook stove was cold, and she begun
to polish it with some electric compound.
The fire wasn't out, and Mrs. Farrar.
discovered the fact just about the time
there was a flash and she was enveloped
in flames. She put ont the fire and threw
the burning brush upon the floor. A
Newfoundland dog grabbed the brush
and carried it outdoors and the damage
was. past. Then Mrs. Farrar discovered
that her hands were seyerel y burned.
In speaking of patronizing home merchants and home institutions, a prominent farmer said the other day: "I know
by expesience that if we pay our merchants what we owe them and then want
to buy goods in quantities and pay cash,
we.can.buy goods as cheap at home,
qualities considered, as any place in the
world, and who will buy one of our farms
in the vicinity of a village all run down
for lack of support? If we want a prosperous town we must,keep all the money
in it we can."
Good roads attract population as well
as good schools and good churches.
Good roads increase the valuation of
property, so that it ■ is said that a farm
situated five miles from lnarket connecting by bad roads is less valuable than
ene ten miles from the town connected
by a good road. Farmers should take
this matter under consideration and when
they work country roads make good
what they make if it isn't more than a
rod a year. Poor roads in the spring and
fall are a great detriment to prosperity.
Will.Sutherland, who was arrested on
compaint of his wife for desertion and
non-support, appeared before Justice
Fine for trial last Saturday morning.
Asa M, Tinker, of Harrison, was attorney-,
for defendant. W, H. Browne appeared
in behalf of the prosecution. Defendant's
attorney made a motion that the prisoner
be discharged on the ground that the
warrant was not properly made out. Mr.
Browne saw the point and said that the
prisoner could not be held for trial on
that warrant. Sutherland was discharged
and while the justice was making out
new papers the accused put on his coat,
walked down stairs and out of doors.
The last seen of him here, he was making
