Manhood
Ray |. Clink Taken From
Among Us by Death.

The Tireless Reaper has left behind
him another broken family circle and
a community again In sympathetic
sorrow. AS an earlv-gathered sheaf,
Ray Clink passed into the upper gar
ner at the closing of the day, March
II, 1910
He was born In South Arm town
ship, Feb. 81, 1885. and practically has
always lived in East Jordan. The
lakes and streams, the hills and for
ests of our charming nOrthland will
forever abide In memory as the one
spot he called his earthly home. He
graduated from the public schools OF
East Jordan in 1905, and after attend
ing the summer normal at Mt. Pleas
ant taught several terms in this vi
cinity, and was Superintendent of the
Fowler schools one year. He went TO
the Michigan Normal College at
YpSilaDti where he graduated in 1908,
and by taking extra studies finished
| his course three months ahead of his
class. His farther plan was to enter
the University OF Michigan, but brok-
en- health prevented.
AS the son of Attorney and Mrs.
E. N. Clnk attention was drawn To
him, but Ray soon displayed excel
| lenceS Of character that won for him
a high standing on his own Ueri,.
He was thoughtful and studious, aud
ambitious to make the most Of him.
self and be Of use in the world; and
had he lived, undoubtedly he would
have had marked and honorable
career. This high ideal Of living be-
came all the more dominant after his
conversion TO an active Christian life.
At the close Of his college career il
was evident that he was in the early
stages of tuberculosis and he left for
the southwest, hoping to throw off
the disease in that milder climate.
He went to Albuquerque and Alma
Gordo, n. NJ, and then TO Phoenix,
Arizona, but returned last May with
out permanent results. Death won
the battle on the evening of Saturday
last.
In spite of gale Of bitter, biting
wind, congregation that filled the
Presbyterian church gathered for the
funeral services on Tuesday. Misses
Irma Hurlbert and Marion Malpass,
Roy Sherman and Harley Hammond,
with Miss Grigsby as accompanist,
furnished the music. Prayer was
offered by Rev. w. w. Lamport Of the
Methodist church, and the pastor,
Rev. A. d. Grigsby, gave the address,
speaking of the usefulness OF the life
closed and of the blessedness of those
who die in the Lord.
Many floral offerings adorned the
casket and altar rail. The pail bear
ers were young men Of Rays acquaiDt-
ance, Messrs John Porter, Homer
Maddox. Fred Wilmington, George
Spencer, Wm. Muma and Ellis NAL
pass. A noticeable feature Of the SER
vice was the presence Of nearly the
entire corps OF county officials who
came up to show their regard aud
sympathy for the family.
Not inappropriate are the liDes
with which the pastor closed his ad-
dress:
Rest In the Lord my soul;
Commit to him thy way.
What TO thy sight seems dark as night
To him is bright as day.
Rest in the Lord my soul;
He planned for thee thy life,
Brings fruit from rain. brings good
from pain,
And peace and JOY from strife.
Rest in the Lord my soul;
This fretting weakens thee.
Why not bp still? Accept his will;
Thou shalt his glory see.

COMMITTEE MEETING REQUESTED

During the past month, as Is the
case eyery month, large number OF
bills have accumulated in the office OF
the CITY gas works which cannot be
audited or paid until approved by the
committee on light. The pay roll for
salaries OF officers and employees for
September must be approved in order
that warrant be drawn for the same.
TO avoid any further delay, Mr.. }. B.
Waller, clerk Of the city gas works, has
requested meeting OF the committee
on light for tomorrow, Thursday,
night. The committee on light is a
hold-over committee, for by an ordi-
nance approved July. 1895. it IS found
that there shall be appointed by the
City Council committee on light to
consist of five members, two from the
Board OF Aldermen and three from the
Common Council, one from each ward
and one at large, "and it is further pro-
yided that 'the committee on light
shall continue in Office until their sue
cessors are appointed" or vacancy oc-
ours. The only vacancy in the present
committee pending any new appoint
ments is that of Mr.. Uhler, a former
member OF Council. Whatever diver
gence OF opinion may exist as to the
power of other committees, no room
for doubt exits as to what are the
powers of the four hold-oyer members
Of the committee on light.

THE PROPOSED FERRY.

The committee which is engaged
in canyassing the city in the interest
of the new ferry service to be estab-
lished between Alexandria and Wash
ington are meeting with the response
which is due their efforts. They have
succeeded in raising within 81, 500 OF
the amount needed to procure two
suitable boats for the proposed route,
and during the next forty-eigbt hours
they feel confident all the money
needed will have been secured. This
announcement will be read with sat
isfaction by the many who have dur
ing the past two years, in one way
or another, experienced the incon.
yenience incident to the passing OF
the ferry service between Alexandra
and Washington. The Chamber OF
Commerce and the Retail Merchants
Association OF this city have taken
hold of the matter with a will ana
are rapidly pushing it to success. ),
In this connection it may be stated
that these organizations are consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of a movement
toward the establishment OF another
service by which boat can be run
to Fort Foote and the opposite Mary
land shore. In the olden time the
steamer "Alice Fox" which piled be-
tween this port and Fox's ferry, was
an institution, as was also the TH-
ginia" which succeeded her, ana AieA-
andria without her Maryland ferry
line would then have been regarded as
Hamlet minus Hamlet. A little
steamer known as the Gypsy" piled
between Alexandria and Pennington,
Md, in those days. as did the Gym
thia" and Harry Loder" in later
years. The Chamber of Commerce
and the Retail Merchants Assocla-
ton are making inquiries which may
result in reproducing conditions exist
ing in ante belum days.

FAILED TO ELECT A PRESIDENT.

The announcement yesterday that
the Board OF Aldermen would elect
president Mt the adjourned meeting last
night was premature, although when
that item was written there had been
an agreement among the members that
such an event would follow. Members
OF the board had been caucusslng all
day in regard to the appointment OF
the members OF the various commit
tees. There was every reason to be-
lieye that slate satisfactory to all IN
ferested had been prepared and that
everything had been cut and dried, so
a president could be elected Oh the
first ballot. When the members
gathered in the chamber, however, it
was apparent that the waters bad been
troubled and that the slate was not ac-
ceptable to all.
Caucussing began Immediately and
was continued for an hour, but 1t was
apparent that the board was not fully
prepared TO elect presiding officer.
Vice President and acting President
Hill called the board to order about
twenty minutes to nine o'clock, when
Mr.. Field moved that the board take
recess until next Tuesday night.
Mr.. Summers moved that a commit
tee of conference consisting OF two
members be appointed to bring about
an agreement by which the. matters
which kept the board apart could De
adjusted.
Mr.. Ballenger saw no sense in such
a movement, as each branch had Its
lieutenant.
Mr.. Summers said he had made the
motion in order to let the community
know that the Aldermen were working
on lines toward breaking the present
deadlock.
Mr.. Ballenger said that he wanted it
understood that he would not be bound
by the action OF such committee.
Mr.. Brill moved an amendment to
Mr.. Summers's motion providing that
the board act as a committee OF the
whole in bringing about an adjustment
OF the matters which now divide the
Aldermen; also that the said commit
tee of the whole meet at Z p. m. On
Tuesday, October 4, and the board at
Sp. m.
Mr.. Summers withdrew his motion
and that OF Mr.. Brill was adopted.
The hitch in the proceedings was oc-
casioned by proposition from the Al
dermen who had supported Mr.. Bal
hanger for the appointment OF MIR.
Summers as a member OF the commit
tee on light in place Of Mr.. Fitzgerald.
The members who had supported Mr..
Hill at first and later Mr.. Marbuly
were averse to this.
It is understood that Mr.. Fitzgerald
is perfectly willing to retire from the
Light committee but that his friends
believing him to be a valuable man to
the city in his present position will not
entertain the proposal of his retirement.
It is believed that the matter will be
adjusted by next week.
