Peterson all have houses in process OF |
completion. Clos progressive policy |
Is thus bearing frult IN growth and II |
1t is continued we will nave a popula-
ton of 1900 to 1000 within the next ten |
years. People like to become identi-
ned with live town.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Zavits, who |
have resiied until recently on d farm |
near Mlllington, have purchased oI |
Martin j. Doyle, the residence formerly |
owned and occupied by l.. A. Wright. |
Mr.. and Mrs. Zavlts, after selling Ineir |
farm, looked over several towns IN this |
section and selected Clio as being the |
most progressive and enterprislng and |
the best Tor home. Thus, we have |
another evidence that live, progress.
i've policy on the part OF village pays. |
Through ignorance of the fact, we |
did not mention in the account OF the |
death and burial OF Andrew }. Lund, |
published last week. that he was a !
member OF the Clio Lodge, 1. o. Y, +. |
such, however, was tine fact, and a |
large member of his brothers OF that
Oroer were present at his funeral.
Harvey Boden, of this place, and
Miss Martha Parker, OF Birch Run,
were united In marriage by Rev. h, Z.
u. Benson, at the M. h. parsonage,
Wednesday. The young people will
make their home in Cho and Will have
the best wishes of many friends for a
nappy and prosperous life together.
Ralph Gillett, who ran the Montrose
Record, for number or months prior
to going west, a few months ago, has
returned and resumed control OF the
paper. Ralph is a bright and energetic
young man and here's hoping the ex-
periehce he has gained will enable him
10 give his patrons better paper than
ever before and that they may "live
together happily ever after"
The pocketbook advertised last week
in The Messenger was found by Percy
Wilson, the small son of Mr.. and Mrs.
, Ross Wilson, and the owner proved to
be Mrs. James Hughes. The latter
was, of course, very glad indeed to re-
cover the purse, which contained a
trifie over 81. 90, and rewarded the little
, boy who found it, and was honorable
enough to try to find the owner, in a
suitable manner.
The local telephone lines are now con-
nected with the Bell exchanges at
Swartz Creek, Rankin and Grand Blanc.
This will be convenience to local SUBJ
s scribers of no small Importance, and
e we feel, also, that we should say a
t good word for the local exchange in a
general way. The service is good in
every department and Manager Hemp
sted and the operator. Miss Smith, are
. always obliging and courteous. Speak
ing from an experience with other
lines, not altogether satisfactory, we
: should say these people are sincerely to
be complimented.
Our fellow -townsman, Glenn Will
! liams, is a candidate for election as a
: member of the Board Of Superinten.
: dents of the Poor, and the Board OF
: Supervisors will in all probability act
: upon the matter during the session
n which will begin next Thursday. Glenn
8 aspires to succeed Cranson Clark, OF
T Flint, who is candidate for re-elec.
s tion. John Luce, of Gaines township
is also in the race, but appearances in
J. dicate that Glenn will be the winner, il
n which event his many friends through
d out the county will be much pleased
o The office pays per diem of So. 90, an(
would amount to about 5000 per year.
e Meeks & Wirth have an advertise
e ment relating to ladies' coats ant
J. ready-to-wear garments in this issue O.
e The Messenger. They have a beauti
l. full and complete line of this kind an(
if the ladies of Clio and vicinity woulc
e call and inspect it, we believe the.
e would find they can be as nicely suitet
" and at as reasonable prices as woult
/. be possible in any of the city stores
II In fact, we believe the merchants O
Clio generally give as good bargain
, as any others anywhere, and it is no
., only the finest kind of loyalty but tn
y " finest kind of common sense as well, t
= patronize them whenever possible. Tn,
~ home merchant is the most importan
. factor in keeping our town going
Without him there wouldn't be an,
I. town.
,s Passengers on a north bound car ou
q q of Flint, Sunday evening, had an un
~ - wonted number of thrills, the first o
~ ~ which happened just outside the cit
limits when the car, which was goin
at rapid rate, left the rails and mowe
IL down trolley pole, which fell with
c. smash on top of the car. The fallinl
I'd pole also broke the trolley wire whic
,e burned and emitted sparks and cut u
ct high jinks generally. A south boun
m car then took the passengers aboar
ir and started north, but when the viaduc
this side of Mt. Morris was reache
rn the car ran off the track, as conse
n quence of which the unlucky passenger
is were obliged to walk into Clio, wher
in they arrived at about IL o'clock. II
th F. Bodine was one of the latter an
er says the events were far more excitin
than satisfying.
