became disabled near the Mill street

had been using it suffered some sort of
internal injury while lifting on the
machine. so that he had to be taken to
hospital in Flint.
Mrs. Barber, of East Vienna St., is
the owner of beautiful new six-cylin-
der Studebaker touring car, which is
model of convenience and luxury. 1t
was purchased of r. r. Knight and we
hope that Mrs. Barber may find it
source of delightful recreation for years
to come.
Earl Ayliffe took couple of passen-
gers to Saginaw, Tuesday evening, and
while talking to man whom he knew
in the Ford service station, some one
stole his car. He reported the matter
to the police and the next day the car
was found on one of the streets of the
West Side.
The common council at its last meet
ing authorized perpetual lease from
David Wing, whereby the water Of the
mill pond is made available for all mu-
nicipal purposes. This was a very good
idea, we think, and will prove to be
increasingly valuable to the village as
the years go by.
Some weeks ago an item was pub
lished in the county papers to the effect
that the postmaster of Clio had been
given raise in salary. The postmas-
ter says that this is, unfortunately, not
true. but that there has been decided
gain in every department of the office
during the last few months, which
seems to insure raise in salary next
year.
Miss Macdonald, of Saginaw, has
purchased the restaurant business of S.
G. Hopkins and took possession yester-
day. The lady is said to be experienced
in the restaurant business and will
doubtless run the business in manner
to sustain it's present first-class repu-
tation. Mr.. Hopkins will continue to
retain the auto and horse livery Office
in the restaurant.
While driving home from town Satrr
day evening, the Misses Marjorie and
Hazel Sanford, daughters of Mrs. Jen-
ME Sanford, of Thetford, were victims
of an exciting accident. their rig being
run into and badly smashed by an auto
driven by some young men from Flint.
The accident took place on East Vienna
St., near the residence of c. E. Taylor,
and fortunately the girls were not SER
iously hurt. The young men were
stopped at Mt Morris by DR.. Graham,
on the request of Marshal Best, and
came back to Clio, where, on the sue
ceeding day, they paid for the damages
to the rig, amounting to Sl5 90, and
costs amounting to several dollars more.
Quite a number of our merchants
have signified their intention of closing
their places of business during the
hours when the Chautauqua program is
in progress. This would seem to be a
very nice arrangement, as the program.
we believe, is to be even more delight
full than people aprrehend. In dozens
of places where the Chautauqua was
something of failure the first year, in
financial way, it has proven an abun-
dant success in succeeding years, be-
cause the people have learned it is the
best as we'll as the cheapest entertain
ment that has ever been offered to the
American people. And while we are
on the subject, we want to make two
things plain: First, that the Chau-
tauqua is not money making scheme.
No man connected with the local COM
mittees hopes to profit through it to
the extent of single cent; in fact all
of them expect that it will cost them
some money. Second, it is not classic
al, nor dry, nor ultra educational. 1t
is a great popular entertainment, and
the best argument in favor of its popu-
lar character is the fact that nearly
every town in Michigan is to have one.
