A Correction

In the hurry incident to going to
press last week we did not express cor
rectly the facts relative to the Mont
rose State Bank. 1t is true that the
cashier, Mr.. Stevens, absconded. his
own affairs being considerably involved,
but several of the stockholders in the
bank Immediately put up sum of
money more than adequate to cover
any shortage and we have no reason to
believe that the bank is in other than a
perfectly sound condition.

Maus Will Be Tried

Some months ago man by the name
of Maus, at that time located in Sagi-
nav, was charged with having film
flammed John Raub, an aged farmer of
this vicinity, out of couple of nice
cows on a claim of putting through a
real estate deal for Raub. The deal
was never made but Maus got Raub's
cows and officers were unable to locate
him for time. Finally he was appre-
hended in Detroit and on Tuesday had
his examination in Flint and will un-
doubtedly be bound over for trial in the
circuit court. Without attempting to
PREJUDICE the case on it's merits the
Raub family is entitled to much sympa-
thy. Mr. Raub is 81 years old, his wife
is &c and Mrs. Mcdonald, relative
who makes her home with them, is
also very agel. The cows were very
valuable to. the family and it seems too
bad that they should lose them entirely.
Maus is at liberty on bail bond signed
by Elmer Ballard, of Flint.

.LYCEUM COURSE
HAS BEEN SECURED
FIVE SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENTS
DURING WINTER
Public Schools Will Have Charge of Ar
rangements and Profits Will Go
to Further School Work.

Through the interest of Prof. Chapel
and students of our schools, Clio people
are to have the opportunity of attend
ing a splendid series of entertainments
the coming winter. The attractions,
we are told, are considerably above the
average, and it was possible to secure
them for Clio only because of open
dates, that is dates not filled in the
itinerary of these people for the COM
ing season. Twelve public spirited citi-
zens had to guarantee the expense of
the course, and in view of the fact that
it Mill be an intellectual treat for the
entire community and that the proceeds
will go for the benefit of the schools,
it is to be hoped that the public will be
liberal in the purchase of tickets.
Following is list of the entertain
ments and dates: Dec. a, w. II. Ans
barry, lecture recital on James Whit
comb Riley; Jan. 8, A. M. Rutzel, lee
ture, The Measure of Man; Jan. 20,

miles south of Miami to Cutler. Roses

we do not see anyone smile outside of
our house. Have not seen a smile with
the natives since l heard the college
yell. Perhaps it is because they are not
so well acquainted with us, but we will
go and help pack grape fruit soon and
maybe we can tell you something of
interest about that. Miami is our trad
ing place, beautiful city and nice peo-
pie, only too solemn, but it will tire
you enough to read all of this so will

We beg to express the hope that our
Clio friends are all right and with best
wishes beg to remain,
