Decoration and Memorial Day
Proclamation

At this hour the great European ma
tions> are engaged in deadly conflict.
History fails to record any other war of
like magnitude and ferocity. Human
Imagination utterly fails to appreciate
the agony of the millions of mothers
and children whose wishes were never
consulted. Millions of human lives
have been ruthlessly sacrificed, to say
nothing of the. widespread destruction
of property. Chaos has been substi-
tuted for order; hate and revenge domi-
nate the minds of the contesting rulers
of these great nations. Death is their
watchword.
In the United States peace reigns.
This great nation is fearlessly conserv-
ing the faith and loyalty of its people.
Our watchwords are ''life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. At. this
hour we look back to our last awful
sacrifice upon the altar of liberty. On
May thirtieth the remnant of the Grand
Army of the Republic, together with
one hundred million freemen, will pay
tribute to the living and the dead. Let
us reverently and lovingly join the
spirit of the immortal Lincoln in dedi-
eating our lives to the task of increas-
ing our devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of their devotion; that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this nation, under
God, shall have new birth of freedom;
and that government of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth"
May the democracy of our beloved
nation in this hour of world peril fear
lessly and successfully point the way to
universal peace The regenerating need
of Europe and of the whole civilized
world is democracy and more democ-
racy.
While decorating the graves of the
"Boys in Blue, let us lovingly remem-
Der our Spanish War veterans; likewise

Hand Crushed

While working in the table factory,
last Friday, Otto Hornung sustained a
badly crushed hand. The young man
was engaged in feeding an automatic
saw, taking short pieces of timber with
one hand and feeding them into the
machine with the other, and in some
manner his right hand was drawn into
the feed rolls of the machine. Only
the prompt action of a fellow employe
in stopping the machine saved him from
having his entire arm crushed. The
injured member swelled so rapidly that
the surgeon was unable to effect i'm
mediate repairs, but the young man
was taken to Flint, Sunday, where an
X-ray examination showed that two
fingers and some of the bones of the
hand had been broken. AS soon as the
swelling permits these injuries will be
repaired and it is expected the hand will
eventually come out all right. Under
the workingmen's compensation act Mr..
Hornung will be compensated for his
medical expenses and loss of time, this
being borne by an insurance company
in which The Gillett Manufacturing Co.
carries protection for all its employees.

Sl.00 A Year in Advanc

The undeveloped character of the coun-
try when Mr.. Maxwell first settled
upon his farm has been graphically
described by one of his sisters,
who has said that upon her first
visit to his home she was compelled to
follow boards laid down through the
woods and over swampy places in order
to gain access to the house. Mr. Max
well wrought out his home from the al
most unbroken forest and the comforts
which surrounded him in age were the
tributes which honest toll had won
from the bounteous treasure house of
mother earth. On March %, 1876, Mr..
Maxwell was united in marriage to Miss
Delilah Shannon, of Forrest, with whom
he lived in happy companionship for
forty years and who survives to mourn
his loss. In all of the affairs of life
Mr.. Maxwell won the esteem of all
who came to know him. He was an
affectionate and devoted husband and
father. good neighbor, loyal friend,
a patriotic citizen. Mr.. Maxwell was
noted throughout this section for his
splendid penmanship, gentle art in the
practice of which he found great pleas
ure until failing health, few months
before his death, rendered it impossible
for him to practice it. Nearly thirty
years ago Mr.. Maxwell united with the
Evangelical Church. which then main
tained services near his home, and
while these were long since discon-
tinued, and he has been an attendant
of the M. E. Church at Thetford Cen
ter, he steadtastly maintained his men,
bership in the church with which he
had first affiliated. Deceased is sur
vived by his widow and five children.
the latter being as follows: Gala Max
well, of Clio; George Maxwell. of De-
troit; Mrs. Herman Geiger, of Flint;
Mrs. Roy Wymer, of Clio; and Miss
Blanche Maxwell who resides at home.
Another son, Farwell, died in infancy.
He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs.
John Buttars, of Port Austin, Mich,
and Mrs. Westley Grover, of Vienna
township, and by one brother, John.
whose present whereabouts are un-
known. Funeral services we've held
from the late home of deceased Thurs
day afternoon at LOO o'clock and
from the Thetford Center M. E. Church
at 200 o'clock, Rev. Fred Kerns. of
Shower, an Evangelical clergyman,
assisted by Rev. Mr.. Bird, of Otisville,
officiating. Interment was in Thetford
Center cemetery,

Through oversight. which we can
explain, even to ousself, only upon
the ground that the editor was trying
to do two mems work, we omitted to
mention the name of Miss Mabel Good
fellow as one of the retiring teachers,
in our general summary of school news
published last week. In justice to our
self, as we'll as to Miss GoodfelIow,
therefore, we take this opportunity TO
make an additional statement. Wiss
Goodfellow is, as everyone knows. one of
the most talented and estimable young
ladies of Clio, who has given to her
work in our schools the benefit of ex-
ceptional training and most conscien-
tious effort, and that she will have in
her future work, wherever that may
be undertaken the best wishes of the
people of this community we need
scarcely say. We shall also state it as
our opinion, that all of the teachers in
our schools have given faithful and effif-
cient service during the past year, and
that our predictions for better school
next year were based upon better fa-
cilities, more complete organization
and an enlarged teaching staff and were
not intended to be in anywise uncom-
plimentary to any of the teachers who
composed the faculty last year.
From personal experience We car,
truly say that school teachers in gen
eral have been among the most patient
earnest and capable classes of workers
we have known. and we believe those
who have presided over the Clio schools
are no exception to this rule. II may
have been noticed in the article of last
week that we did not mention the
qualifications of Mrs. Kent McLane,
who will teach languages next year, and
in this connection we are informed
that the lady is graduate of the Yp-
silanti State Normal and has taught
successfully in the schools of several o;
the larger towns of the state.

Superintendent Jewell, Now

Faithful service covering the entire
period of the operation of the S. & F..
division of the Michigan Ry., brought
well merited recognition to Arthur
Jewell. Tuesday. when he received not
ification that he had been appointed
assistant superintendent of the divis-
ion. The appointment was wholly un-
expected by Mr.. Jewell and was,
therefore, all the more pleasurable.
He went to Saginaw on Tuesday
morning expecting to take his usual run
as conductor, but upon arrival at the
barns was notified that he would not
have that run any more and that he
should report at the office Of Superin-
tendent Smith. Somewhat mystified as
to the cause Of this unexpected pro-
cedure, he called at the Office and the
order appointing him to the position of
assistant superintendent was placed in
his hand. He was also given the pleas
ant assurance that he could continue his
residence in Clio. The appointment
carries with it the attractive salary of
$125. 90 per month, and as Mr.. jewell
has been with the road since its incep-
tion and is thoroughly acquainted with
every branch of its business, there can
be no doubt as to his ability to dis
charge it's duties satisfactorily. The
Messenger would join with Mr.. JEWELS 8
many other friends in the extension of
congratulations and best wishes.

MAXWELL

Thomas r. Maxwell, pioneer of this
section, and held in high regard for his
sterling, upright character. passed
away at his home in Thetford township.
at about $50 o'clock Tuesday morning,
May %, 1916. following several weeks
OF illness from diabetes. Mr.. Maxwell
was born at Sterling, Ont, June rs,
1S43, being 72 years, 10 months and q
days old at the time of his death. He
continued to reside near his birth place
until about eight years of age when he
came with his family to what was then
known as Fayville, three miles west of
his present home. Here he remained a
short time and then took up his resi-
dence on the farm where he resided for
sixty-two years, and until his death.

a salesman in the Buckingham sture in
Flint. He had been married but a
