The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1914-07-10


He is said to be suffering from typhoid
fever.
Hiram Chase left Thursday morning
for several days visit with relatives at
Mason and Lansing.
Misses Elsie Farnsworth and Evelyn
Green have gone to Mt. Pleasant to at
tend the summer school,
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Walz, and
daughter, of Alberta, spent Monday
and Tuesday at the homes of j. Bacon
and Will Stout.
Strawberries are hanging on longer
this season than is usually the case, w.
r. Hopkins having picked eight bushels
in his field Monday.
From all parts of this section come
the most encouraging reports as to the
fine condition of crops. Considerable
building is also being done on the farms
hereabout.
j. H. O'Rourke and wife and the lat
ter's mother, Mrs. Carrie E. White, of
Mt. Morris, made an auto trip to Inlay
City and Armada, Saturday, returning
home Monday.
Mrs. H. c. Romer, daughter, son
Will, and wife, and the latter's three
children, all of Toledo, O., were guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Lathrop from
Saturday until Monday.
Through officers of the local Orange
lodge we have been asked to state that
the Order would appreciate the favor
if as many of our citizens as possible
would on Saturday, furnish meals in
their homes to such guests as may de-
sire. Our hotel facilities are unfortu-
nately limited and this deficiency can
only be made up by the extension of a
little private hospitality.
Vol. !, No. /, of the Shiawassee
County Sportsman has come to our
desk. 1t is a bright and attractive lit
tie magazine published in the interest
of game conservation in our sister
county. Frank l.. Johnson, for many
years publisher of the Corunna Journal,
is editor, which is assurance that the
new publication will he real live wire
and will contain the things that ought
TO be published, not merely what it
might be pleasant to publish.
In somewhat lengthy circular letter
the State Central Committee of the
National Progressive Party make this
important statement. THAT it is the
policy of the National Progressive
Party in Michigan to oppose amalgama-
ton with either the Democratic or Re-
publican parties, in any and every
FORM" This sounds good, but many of
US can recall what happened to the
Greenbackers, Populists and perhaps
half score other third party move
ments.
E. L. Powers, minion of the law, finds
himself at last helpless in its clutches.
It's law in favor of muskrats that
holds Elmer as tightly as sentence for
jumping a board bill. There's law
against killing them. in respect of
which Mr.. Powers has been compelled
to look quietly on while they have de-
voured about an re.of the finest corn
that grows on his farm. But with the
true instincts of a sleuth, Elmer looks
grim and says that he will get his pay
even if he has to take the coats off
their backs.
Hugh Mulholland has sold killarney
Castle" and forty acres of the old sod
surrounding it to Paul Knoll, of Sagi-
nav. Thus passes into the hands of an
alien another famous Irish landmark,
ancestral home of as fine a bunch of
spalpeens as there are in the country
But even though the new owner be a
Teuton, everything he raises at 'Blar-
ney Castle" will be green, except the
divil, and probably he won't be raised
at all any more, after Hugh is gone.
Maybe there's something in this blar-
ney stuff, too, because Hugh got sos
an acre for his farm which is record
price for land in this section.
