has recently purchased from Doyle
Bros, and now has in operation, milk
ing machine that is said to work to per-
fection.
Joseph Gibson, who has been confined

Superintendent of Public Instruction
| Fred l.. Keeler makes the very sound
suggestion that graduates of the public
schools of the state, dress for COM
mencement, this year, in simple and in
expensive clothing. He suggests that.
to give point to the instruction in do
mestic science, the girl graduates make
their own gowns whenever possible.
F. M. Houghton is moving the barn
he recently bought from the Masonic
Temple Association to lot he owns on
New street, where, we understand, he
expects to have it rebuilt into a COM
Portable residence. Mrs. Barber is also
having the building she purchased from
the Association moved onto the rear
part of her residence lot, where it will
he converted into garage.
Ralph Hayes, formerly butter maker
sition and with his family has moved to
Otisville, where in company with one
or two local parties he will build and
operate a creamery. Mr.. Hayes and
his estimable family have been valued
citizens of Clio and will have the best
wishes of all who know them for happi-
ness and prosperity in their new home.
AS usual with that institution, busi-
ness is brisk at the brick yard, and its
product is being shipped as fast as. s.made.
Clio brick have reputation throughout
the state and wherever known as being
made on honor-a first-class article that
may always be depended upon. That s
the kind of brick to put into house,
and that's the kind of effort to put into
the foundation of character, no matter
what ones calling may be.
Joseph Drew, who resides north of
town, returned the first of the week
from prospecting trip to Oregon. He
reports the weather in that part of the
country as being very cold and dis
agreeable and says that he was not
very favorably impressed with the
country as whole. He visited the
section on this side of the mountain
ranges, however, and was informed
that the portion on the other side was
much more desirable in climate and fer
tility.
= Arrangements have not yet been COM
pleted so that it is impossible to publish
the entire program for Decoration Day,
Monday, May 81, in this weeks issue.
1t is known, however, that Dr. A. B.
Leonard. of Flint, will deliver the ad-
dress, which is sufficient assurance that
it WILDE able and eloquent. The Rich
field Cornet band will furnish music and
the program will be interspersed with
vocal selections by scholars of the public
} schools and others. A complete pro-
gram will be published next week.
Elsewhere in this issue appears a
statement Of the receipts and expendi-
lures incident to the lyceum course
given last winter under the auspices of
Clio High School. This enterprise was
carried to uccessful~conclusion very
largely through the efforts of Prof.
Chapel and The Messenger feels that
he is entitled to an expression of ap-
probation. The course netted about
$500, which has been spent to procure
apparatus which will be of service to
the school, the last article so purchased
being a fine stereopticon and screen.
for which, we understand, variety OF
slides of an educational nature may be
procured, from time to time, without
expense.
