Observation-Disclosures
Married
BOWREN-HAYES

A pretty wedding was solemnized at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles l..
Bowren, at five o'clock, on the evening
of Christmas day, when their daughter,
Vina, became the bride, of Mr.. Lucius
D. Hayes. The guests were limited to
members of the immediate families of
the young people, and the ceremony
was performed by Rev. E. c. G.. Ben
son, pastor of the M. E. Church, fol-
lowing which a delightful wedding sup
per was served. 1t would be difficult
to make our remarks concerning these
young people too complimentary. The
bride for number of years has been a
popular and efficient saleslady in the
employ of Meeks & Wirth and the
groom is young man of sterling char
acter who occupies good position in
one of the automobile factories at Flint.
Both bride and groom have occupied
prominent place in the social life of
Clio and have large circle of friends
who will unite in wishing for them that
their voyage through life may be
blessed with all possible happiness and
prosperity. We understand that Mr..
and Mrs. Hayes will occupy rooms in
the Sines building on N. Mill Street,
where they will be at home to their
friends after January fifteenth.
On Wednesday evening numerous
company of friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayes, gathered at their residence
and gave them surprise shower of
many beautiful and useful gifts, and
at the same time an expression of con-
gratulations and best wishes that was
in no wise lacking in enthusiasm.

GEORGE WILLIAMS
PRAISES TANLAC
Marion Man Says Nothing Helped Him
Like the "Master Medicine"

George Williams. Box %, Marion,
Michigan, writes the following regard
ing the benefit he has derived from the
new remedy, Tanlac:
Although / have had catarrh for
years and seemed to be unable to get rid
of it, find that. after taking one bot
tie of Tanlac my condition is very much
improved. Friends have noticed and
commented on the change and l feel
better in every way. / have tried
nearly every remedy on the market but
have never been benefited by anything
until started taking Tanlac.
Catarrh of the head is very prevalent
in this section of the country. Mani
Testing itself as it does in accumulation
of mucous in the throat, watery drip
ping of the nose, frequent coughing up
of mucous, offensive breath, pains
across the forehead and throbbing pains
in the back of the head, it is very dis
agreeable. Tanlac has proven espec-
tally valuable in relieving these condi-
tions.
Tanlac may be obtained here at the
store of E. E. Huyck.

CLIO ORANGEMEN
ENTERTAIN BIG PARTY
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY AT FRIED
CHICKEN SUPPER
S. A. Band, of Flint, and Various Speak
ers Helped to Make Occasion
Enjoyable

The fried chicken supper rendered by
Clio L. o. L., No. 1868, to members of
the order and their wives, was certainly
what the small boy would designate
"some swell feed" and furnished a
very enjoyable time in every respect to
the large crowd in attendance.
Unfortunately, the car bearing a
large delegation from Flint, including
the famous Salvation Army Band, was
held up at the viaduct south of town,
through a freight car being derailed,
so that it was nine o'clock before
they arrived in Clio. A freight car
was finally run down to the scene of
the derailment where the visitors were
taken aboard and brought to their desi-
tination. On arrival here, a parade was
formed, the band leading, and marched
to the Orange lodge rooms where the
supper was served, tables being loaded
with fried chicken, reinforced by oodles
and oodles of that great American
dainty-pie-a and an abundance of frag-
rant coffee.
Fully three hundred and fifty persons
sat down to the feast and at its con-
clusion an enjoyable impromptu pro-
gram was given, the ladies of Flint
Lodge performing a fancy drill, the
band playing several selections. and
Rev. c. W. Greene, Prof. w. d. White
and several gentlemen from Flint max
ing short speeches.
AS the guests had to leave for their
homes on the 1900 o'clock car. the af-
fair came to an end at that hour, the
guests being one in the statement that
they had been royalty entertained and
everybody feeling that they had partic-
ipated in grand social time.

Tungsten Soaring

Competitive bidding for the the avail
able supply brought offers of $48 and
$40 per unit for 60 per cent tungsten
ore as compared with $3.50 last April.
At that time the first increase brought
the price to 81 per unit and in the in
tervening months it has made steady
advances. Two buyers placed the
schedule for 60 per cent ore at $47.50
a unit making the ore worth So, $50
ton. The phenomenal rise in price for
this useful metal may be due to the
war, and then again it may be due to
set of robbers who ought to be sent to
war.

Splendid Christmas Spirit

In response to little article pub
lished in The Messenger couple of
weeks ago, several articles of wearing
apparel for children were brought to
the office, for all of which place was
found where it will be of splendid SER
vice and render poor children warmer
and happier during the cold winter
months. A fine thing about this char
ity is that it demonstrates such things
can be done without being unduly bur-
densome. 1t is just question of in
teresting ourselves in the fortunes or
misfortunes of our fellow human beings
who dwell about us, and of making the
effort to be helpful and cheering out
side the circle of immediate personal
interests.
We do not deem it necessary to give
the names of all those who contributed
in this manner. Some were those who
are well to do, some were poor, but all
were actuated by the finest spirit in the
world. that of sympathetic helpfulness,
and on behalf of those who were bene-
fitted The Messenger would extend
sincerest thanks and an expression of
deepest appreciation. We think it
proper to say, however, that the little
lads and lasses of the Sunshine Class of
the M. E. Sunday School, contributed
of their nickles and pennies to make
other little children, less fortunately
circumstanced, aware of the fact that
the generous, glad spirit of Christmas
time is reality. Verify that class is
rightly named.
In addition to these gifts, the busi-
ness men and women, of Clio, and we
believe there are no better or more
generous in this world, assisted by a
few private citizens, Clipped in to fur
nish generous supply of food, with
proper proportion of knick knacks. for
family of children to whom good
Christmas dinner and visit from Santa
Claus could not have seemed an immi-
nent probability. If these contributors
could have seen the wondering, shining
eyes of the children, when the things
arrived, they would have considered
the money thus given the richest in
vestment of its size they ever made in
their lives. We know that other in
stances of splendid spirit of gener-
osity found expression in Clio at Christ
mas time, all of which leads us to find
added satisfaction in the fact that we
are privileged to live in such COM
munity.

The Chambered Nautilus

This is the ship of pearl which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main
The venturous bark that filings
On the sweet summer wind it's purpled wings
In CULTS enchanted, where the siren sings
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-mads their streaming hair
Its webs of living gauze more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered CELL
Where it's dim dreaming life wont to dwell
AS the fra tenant shaped his growing SHE'LL
Before thee lies revealed
It's rised ceiling rent. it's sunless crypt unsealed
Year after year beheld the silent toll
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past years dwelling for the
Stole with soft step it's shining archway through
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his asfound home and knew the old
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap. forlorn
From thy dead lips clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathed horn
While mine ear it rings
Thro the deep of thought hear voice that SINGS
Build thee more stately mansions OH my soul,
AS the swift roll
Leave thy low-vaulted past
Let each new temple, noDer than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with dome more vast,
Till thou at length art Free
Leaving thine outgrown shell by lifes unrestng sea
