The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1915-10-29

w nen MISS EInel mann anu w III.
Eaton, estimable young folks of West
Vienna, were married last June, the
weather and other conditions were not
favorable to honeymoon trip, so they
wisely deferred it to some more suit
able time. Sunny weather and gar
nered grain seeming to indicate that
time had arrived, the young people left
Thursday morning for a visit with
friends in Pontiac. South Lyon. and
other points in the southern part Of the
state.
We note with pleasure that H. d.
White, for many years successful
publisher of different newspapers in
this state, has assumed ownership of
The Chesaning Argus. Chesaning is
one of the most beautiful and enter
prising little towns in Michigan, whose
citizenship constitutes high-grade, in
telligent community. They deserve
the best there is to be had in every
branch of public service and we beg to
express the hope and the belief that
Bro. White is going to meet their re-
quirements and find congenial home
among them
Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Bodine, Miss
Anna Bodine and Mrs. Susan Huyck
went to Millington, Wednesday, to at
tend the funeral of Mrs. Emily Sprague,
who, as Miss Emily Neff, was many
years ago a resident of this section.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Green, Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert Green and Mrs. William
Smith, the latter of Flint, were also in
attendance at the funeral. Mrs.
Sprague was II years of age and dur
ing early life taught school in this vi
cinity. but for many years had resided
: on farm near Millington. She was a
cousin of Mrs. Huyck and an aunt of
Mrs. John Green and is also survived
by husband and one sister.
, The roof is about completed on the
milk factory and the entire interior is
being given coat of glistening white
|
| roof has been replaced with one pro.
viding cupola running the entire
7 length of the building, which will give
much additional light and ventilation.
The building has also been enlarged by
the addition of one or two large rooms
which are designed to provide storage
for the product, when necessary. We
, are told it is the purpose of the Detroit
Creamery Company to grade the
, grounds, when spring comes. so as t.
make them neat and attractive and 6
source of pride to the people of Clio
; and also that a handsome sign will be
erected on the plant in which the name
"Clio" will be Incorporated in some
manner, which, of course, will be very
gratifying to our citizens. 1t is hoped
the plant may be ready for operation
about the first of January.
In this "off" year, when things hav
. seemingly gone largely against tn
hard working agricuturist, it is a res
pleasure to note an exception. This
furnished by the sugar beet crop, whic
3 l.. B. Fuller, local manager for tn
Saginaw Sugar Co., informs US is on
r of the heaviest and best ever harveste
in this section. Shipments from thi
station last week were of a create
/ tonnage than those of any similar per
e iod since the local weigh station wa
s established ten years ago, and the man
Il ager estimates that before the seaso
s closes 1000 tons Of beets will hav
n been shipped from this station. TIL
d rate also favors the producer this year
because in other years it has bee
: based on test for sugar content
}, while this year it is flat rate of $50
II per ton, and if the beets are like fruit
c of nearly all kinds they have not a
n much sugar in them as usual, owing t
/ lack of sunshine and an excess @
l. cold and wet weather.
