When Mrs. j. w. Hurd was crossing
the Straits of Mackinac, on her way
home from Houghton, she met H. A.

born and was returning to his home in

station in the rear of the Beeman build
ing on Mill St., where he will receive
cream every day of the week. Mr..

Mrs. j. w. Hurd returned home from
Houghton, Tuesday evening, where she
was the guest of her son, DR.. Mercen
c. Hurd and family for three weeks.
She reports having had splendid time
and says the northern country is truly
delightful at this season of the year.
Mrs. Hurd's visit was rendered addi-
tionally pleasant through the arrival of
little granddaughter, Martha Buffum,
born July 3. Both mother and child
are making splendid progress.
Last Wednesday night, between the
hours of two and three, Mrs. Warren
Richardson was aroused from deep
slumber by what she supposed to be
some cats somewhere about the prem
Uses. After searching the house for
some few moments, however, she came
to the conclusion it must have been
some one trying to get in and on going
|
from the house. Investigation showed
the prints of ladies' No. 10 shoes and
the identity of the nightly visitors was
thus strongly indicated.
Mrs. J. w. Hurd has received an an
nouncement of the marriage of Miss
Jessie Krebs to Mr.. Bruce A. Gibbs,
the wedding having occurred at the
home of the brides parents, in Char
lotte, July 1S. The bride was employed
in Mrs. Hurd's millinery store for several
seasons and is very estimable young
lady, having many friends in Clio. The
groom is young man of sterling char
acter and splendid prospects, being con-
nected with one of the Caro- banks,
in which town the happy couple will
make their home after August first.
Alfred Whitcomb. an uncle of Frank
Whitcomb, of Farrandvile, was found
| lying unconscious in the road near the
residence of Mrs. w. H. Davis, on Mill
St., Friday evening last, by E. l.. Pow
ers and l. R. Field. who were returning
to their homes with horse and buggy.
Mr.. Whitcomb had been struck by a
motorcycle, piece of which was picked
up nearby, the driver of which, he says,
did not carry light or give any warm
ing. Mr.. Whitcomb was taken to his
nephew's home and while quite severe
ly bruised and cut, is now recovering.
The board of education of Clio High
School held their first meeting after the

nings and Hugh Mccormick were re-

Ordinarily Ford motor car does not
attract extraordinary attention but the
other day one was driven into Clio that
Immediately drew crowd. The car
was driven by its owner, w. J. Brew
ster, of Detroit, a very successful sales
man for Harris lubricating oils and
greases. The thing that attracted par
ticular attention to the car was its
tires, which were made of a combina-
ton of rubber and tough leather, stud
ded with numerous steel cups. They
are known as the Brictson tire and al
though Mr. Brewster has driven his car
from Detroit to Florida twice and taken
other long trips, totaling 13, 500 miles,
he says he has never had a puncture
and the tires are still in first-class con-
dition, as is also the car. Mr.. Brewster
is pleasant gentleman to meet.
"Uncle Jimmie" Brewer aged SO, is
very proud of the fact that he has had
the rare privilege and pleasure of hold
ing in his arms three great great grand
children. The old gentleman recollec-
