Death of J. w. Leadley

The many friends and acquaintances
of Joseph w. Leadley, of West Vienna,
have been inexpressibly saddened with
in the past week to learn of his death
which occurred at his home on Satur-
day, April 20, 1916. He had not been
in good health for number of years,
particularly so for the last two years
during which he suffered intermittent
attacks of apoplexy, and for the last
six weeks had been very sick and con-
fined to his bed. Mr.. Leadley was born
in Haltby, Yorkshire, England, Aug.
II, 1898, and came to America when ls
years of age. He first made his home
at Sodus, N. Y, coming to Michigan in
1867 and settling in Vienna township
which was thenceforth his home. He
was one of family of ten children, OF
whom all the others preceded him in
death. In 1869 Mr. Leadley was united
in marriage to Mrs. Candace Hotston
and together they began housekeeping
on the farm which was to be their
home for forty-seven years and where
the book of life was closed for the hus.
band and father as above stated. In
all the responsibilities OF life Mr.. Lead.
lev provca, himself worthy of sincerest
regard. He was kind and provident
husband and father, an honorable and
obliging neighbor and good citizen,
whose memory will be treasured by all
who knew him. Surviving deceased
are the widow and two daughters, Mrs.
Geo. Eagan, of Saginaw, and Mrs.
David Eaton, of West Vienna. He is
also survived by six grandchildren. An.
other daughter, Mrs. May Covert, dice
three years ago. Funeral services
were held from the family residence al
one O'Clock and from the Southwest vi
emma M. E. Church, of which the de-
ceased had been member for nearly
half century, at 200 O'Clock, or
Tuesday. The service was conducted
by Rev. Henry Schofield, of Mt. Morris
and interment was made in Woodlawr
cemetery at Clio.

A few nights ago, it appears from in
formation that has come to us, some
man was guilty of the dastardly crime
of giving twelve-year-old boy of this
vicinity, drink of liquor. Now, hon.
estly, when we heard that story, it
made lump of indignation arise some
where in our anatomy that seemed pos
itively choking. We have been prac-
ticing long time on thesuse of the
Kings English and some parts of our
requirements in that regard would un-
doubtedly be barred from the best
society, but if we were to do our worst
we couldn't find anything in our vocab-
ulary adequate to the Characterization
of such human cipher as was this
counterfeit of man who fed liquor to
a little boy. Contemplating such as he,
we are prone to believe it would be
efficacious to import some native of the
cannibal islands to come over and do
missionary work among us. This story
would be sufficiently narrowing, it will
probably be admitted, if we left off
/ here, but there is another chapter
equally as pathetic as the one already
recounted. This poor boys father, we
are told, died beneath the wheels of the
cars as the result of drunken de-
bauch. Great God! first heredty and
then the heartlessness of some human
swine combiningto make this little lad a
curse to himself and to society, of which
he must perforce be part. And back
of it all the weakness, the wastefulness
and the wantonness of the state that
allows the basic evil to exist, nay more,
that is a partner in its reeking profits
But the people of Michigan are going to
register their will with regard to that
proposition within the next six months
and we cannot escape the conviction
that they are going to follow in the
footsteps of the people of fourteen
other states of this great nation and
wipe out the foulest blot upon the es-
cutcheon of the commonwealth. Don't
be turned away from participating in
this great work by any talk of coercion
or of invasion of personal liberty
1t doesn't mean anything of the kind
If such action is taken, as we believe il
will be, it will simply mean that the
people have progressed in intelligence
to that point where they will no longer
tolerate the fathomless horrors of the
liquor traffic even as they refused tc
tolerate the inhumanities of the slave
traffic fifty years ago. G.. II. X

Family Day" at M. p. Church
Sunday Morning

Services at the Methodist Protestant
Church on Sunday morning, May q,
will be held in observance of Family
Day." a feature which was inaugurated
at that house of worship year ago.
The pastor urges that parents make
special effort to attend this service,
which will be held at ten o'clock, and it
is most desirable that they bring their
children with them. Parents and chill
dren, all should be members of the
church, for in no place can the axiom,
Gin union there is strength, be more
aptly applied than in the association of
the family in religious faith.
The pastor will deliver a special SER
mon for this occasion on the subject,
Family Religion" which will be sup
plemented by special music by the
choir.
There are many "shut-ins "--persons
who by reasons of infirmities of age or
sickness are unable to attend religious
services regularly-whose hearts would
well with gratitude if those more for
tunate would assist them to this enjoy
ment. Realizing this the pastor asks
that all members and friends of tbs
church who have conveyances viii hunt
these unfortunates out and provide the
means for their attendance at this SER
vice. Rev. Greene will greatly appre.
ciate it if those who are in this condi-
tion will make it known to him, thai he
may arrange to have them present al
this "Family Day. service.

Spray Fruit Trees Now

This is the season when spraying of
fruit bearing trees, vines and bushes
should be done. There can be no doubt
but that this pays; no doubt, in fact,
that it must be done if this kind of in
dustry is to be made to pay at all. In
this connection we have received more
or less lengthy circulars from the Ex-
pertinent Station of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, giving detailed in
struction as to how various sprays
should be applied, but we are convinced
that publication of such articles is more
or less inadequate to the end sought
and takes up great deal of space that
might better be devoted to reading
matter Of more general interest. There
fore, il any of our readers are at all
interested in fruit culture we would ad-
wise them TO write direct to the Exper-
iment Station of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, East Lansing, Mich.
where full and complete directions for
applying and compounding the various
sprays may be obtained free of charge.
Local dealers who handle spraying
materials can also doubtless furnish di-
rections and information of great value
to the fruit raiser.

Clio Man Knew Garfield

Our fellow citizen. Ezra Cleveland,
had the distinguished privilege of know
ing James A. Garfield, Goth president
of the United States, when as boys
they lived on neighboring farms in the
was born in 1881, and, his father dying
brothers and sister were left to gain
their sustenance from small and un-
productive farm. But Garfield, like
Lincoln, had an Unborn craving for
knowledge, likewise the stamina and
industry to get it. He, therefore,
worked his way through college, be-
coming successfully college president,
major general of volunteers during the
Civil War, congressman, senator. and
finally, in 1881, president of the United
States. Four months after his inaugu-
ration, on July 2, 1881, he was shot by
Charles Jules Guiteau, disappointed
office seeker, whom it is now almost
universally conceded was a crank and
whose misshapen skull, we have read,
reposes in the museum of the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington.
Guiteau was hanged for his crime after
lengthy trial. The president died in
September, following the shooting, and
his body now rests in beautiful mau-
soleum in the city of Cleveland. Mr..
Cleveland has visited this tomb, which
he describes as being exceedingly beau
tifol and impressive, and pays sincere
tribute to the splendid qualities of his
boyhood acquaintance who afterward
became the president of the United
States and because of the extraordinar-
lily sad and tragic features of his death
will forever live in history as one of the
nations martyrs.

CHARLES /. MAY
KILLED BY TRAIN
ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT BIRCH
RUN TUESDAY AFTERNOON
Evidently Stepped Upon the Track in a
Moment of Abstraction and Was
Struck by the Engine

The people of Clio were profoundly
panied and shocked. Tuesday afternoon,
when the report became current upon
the streets that Charles H. May, for
many years prominent and respected
resident, had been killed by the cars at
Birch Run.
1t appears that Mr.. May was in
Birch Run for the purpose of paying a
visit to the bank in that place, of which
he was the president, and that while on
his way to the bank from the print
ing office he was struck by the fast
passenger train on the P. M: Ry., due
in Birch Run at 4:10 p. m. There were
several witnesses to the accident and
all agree upon the fact that Mr.. May
ste pped upon the track in front OF the
train, which was approaching at very
rapid rate of speed, and that he did not
seem to realize his danger until it was
almost upon him, when he made Ian at,
tempt to jump to safety. This effort

A Genuine Surprise

The fifty third birthday anniversary
of Mrs. A. S. Parker, of this place, oc-
cured on Monday and was made the oc-
casion of one of the most delightful So
cial events of the season. The affair
noon and the unlocked for" kept oc-
curing to Mrs. Parker continuously dur
ing the day and late into the evening.
Let us tell it chronologically: Know
ing the day was coming on Monday,
May lst, Mrs. Parker one day last week
invited her brother. of Saginaw, and a
couple of old friends to come to her
home Monday and have dinner with her.
Desiring to fittlngly regale her guests in
celebration of the occasion Mrs. Parker
hurried about Monday morning with
her preparations. Right here the sur
prises began. First a couple of lady
friends from Flint happened" in, each
carrying basket. Presently two more
Flint friends dropped" in and they,
too, had baskets. At varying intervals
several ladies of Clio slipped" in and
they, too, brought baskets. BY dinner
time quite nice little party was on
band, the baskets were opened and
there was considerable of birthday
dinner. Mrs. Parker began to realize
that she was being surprised. That
was only the beginning though, for
after dinner more friends began COM
ing, bringing baskets, just like the
others. BY supper time there was a
goodly crowd present. Mrs. Parker
felt she was being surprised. After
supper-well, the men folks joined the
ladies and lot of other people came
and there was throng there. About
this time the Mt Morris brass band ar
rived in front of the residence and
played selection. Mrs. Parker then
knew she had been surprised.
The event was most enjoyable one
for all. The guests during the day
spent the time most profitably and
pleasantly in social chat. In the even
ing an extemporaneous program was
rendered which was highly enjoyable.
The program consisted of recitations
by Mrs. Jacob Grove, Mrs. Byron Jen-
nings and Miss Bertha Yerden; duet
by Rev. and Mrs. Greene; saxophone
solo by Prof. Schrimm, of Flint, and
selections by brass quartet from the
band members. The band rendered
numerous selections during the evening,
Mrs. Parker's son, Clare, is member
of the Mt. Morris band and the organi'
zation contributed their presence as g
mark of respect. Selections on the
grafonola were also part of the pro
gram.
Mrs. Parker was the recipient of two
beautiful gold rings, one, gift from
her two brothers, was set with beau
tiful metrix stone, the stone having
been found on the shores of Lake Su
perior by one of the brothers; the othel
was a handsome mounting of foul
emeralds (Mrs. Parker's birth stone,
embellished on either side by three tiny
pearls, and was the joint gift of the
assembled company In addition sh'
received the hearty good wishes of al
present for many happy returns of he
natal day, all of which she greatly ant
sincerely appreciates.
Those present from out of town were
Mrs. Jacob Grove, Mrs. Nahum Long
Mrs. Henry Clark and Mrs. j. Jinks
of Flint, and her brother, N. j. Dunn
of Saginaw.
