Matrimonial
LEMBACH-RICH


A very charming hymeneal event
took place at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Lembach, in Clio, Tues
day evening, April 18, 1916. when their
daughter, Elsie. became the bride of
Mr.. Stephen Rich, of Flint. The parlor
and dining room of the residence were
handsomely decorated for the occasion,
the color scheme being pink and white,
potted plants being used very effect
lively as accessories. At 7:30 o'clock
the bridal couple took their places be-
fore charmingly improvised altar in
the parlor, marching in to the strains
of the wedding march played by Miss
Eva Smith, where Rev. E. C. C. Ben
son performed the wedding service
after the beautiful and impressive
ritual of the M. E. Church. The brides
gown was of silk crepe meteor, of
charming design, and she carried a
shower bouquet of sweet peas. The
ceremony was witnessed by about sew
enty-five relatives and guests and at it's
conclusion a delightful two courre
luncheon was served. The Misses Anna
Habkirk, Beatrice Palmer, Alice Secor
and Mildred Jewell assisted at the ia
bles and received favors of embroidered
silk handkerchiefs, as souvenirs, from
the bride. Among the guests were sew
eral from Detroit, Bay City and other
points in the state. The bride is a
handsome and charming young lady
who was born and grew to womanhood
in this vicinity, where she has host of
friends, while the groom is an excellent
young gentleman whose occupation is
that of machinist. The many friends
of the happy couple will wish for them
all possible happiness and prosperity in
their voyage through life. Following
the serving of the luncheon and the ex-
tension of Fluctuations, it was with
some difficulty that the young people
were able to separate themselves from
their enthusiastic friends and take a
motor car for Flint, from which place
they left for Dayton, Ohio, where they
will make their home.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1916-04-21

generally and complimented Prof.
White upon the earnestness and ability
with which he was conducting the
schools.
Annah Habkirk, the only lady speaker
on the program, gave very charming
and logical talk on "Girls as Athletic
Boosters, and was most enthusiast
cally applauded at the conclusion of her
response. This was followed by an in
strumental duet by the Misses Eva
Scott and Retha Shelley which, like
the other musical numbers, was very
charming indeed.
County Commissioner of Schools John
l.. Riegle got stuck in the mud with his
automobile on the evening of the BAN
quet and was thus prevented from at
tending, much to the regret of his
many friends here. The principal adj
dress of the evening was given by
Dennie Upton. athletic coach of the
Grand Rapids public schools, whose
fund of humorous stories kept every
one in good humor and whose talk upon
the more vital aspects of his profess
sion was revelation to those who had
never before given the subject of ath-
letics serious consideration. He told in
the first place of the important part
physical training plays in producing
healthy, vigorous boys and girls, with
out which they cannot make good stu
dents or successful men and women.
Then he told of how interesting the
boys in athletics was leading many of
them to purer and better lives and last
ly of how love and helpfulness, engen-
dered by association in games and
sports, was a great force in reclaiming
those who had gone wrong. 1t was an
honest. earnest address and provided a
fitting close to very pleasant evening.
Rev. C. w. Greene delivered the bene-
diction. The banquet netted the Ath-
letic Club about $4,000 and resulted in
big increase in membership.

Roads Need Repairs

A trip over the public highway to
Flint, the first of the week, suggested
to the writer and to others who were
with him, the advisability of county
road repair gang, which, provided with
an automobile, might visit various sec
tions of the county roads and make
minor repairs that would greatly facili-
tate both travel and traffic. On the
road referred to were several bad holes
that made difficult going, not only for
automobiles, but for all kinds of farm
traffic as well. The major portion of
the road was in fairly good shape, but
the few places referred to were bad, so
bad that in one place we saw where
truck load of milk had been unloaded in
order to allow the vehicle to pull itself
out of a rut. For week or more this
condition had existed, causing very
much delay and consequent expense.
yet half days work by single hand
armed with no other tools than a pick
and shovel would have fixed the whole
business in tolerable shape and at the
same time would have prevented a
larger job of the same kind, if done
later. This question of road repair ard
maintenance is as important as road
building. A little rut, if neglected, be-
comes hole, delays traffic and travel
and renders vexatious highway upon
which the people spent large sum of
money for the purpose of rendering it
servicable. Why can't we have a
county road repair crew or at least a
crew of men to perform that service
when necessary, and perform it prompt
ly-the same as private affair of
equal Importance is done when the man
directing it is onto his job?

Successful Auctioneering
F. l.. Leland,
Minister.

Col. E. l.. Powers has made some rec
erd this year as successful conductor
of farm sales, we say, and the Colonel
says we have made some record as an
advertising medium to get the crowds
for his sales. During the year in ques-
tion the popular auctioneer has sold
sos, sos. 90 worth of property and has
conducted nearly sixty sales. His rec
ord prices for the year are as follows:
single horse, $4,000; team, $3.50. 90;
thoroughbred COW, 1929 90; grade COW,
Sill. 90; sheep, $14.00 per head. With
such record as this it is not strange
that the Colonels reputation is grow
ing nor that the demand for his SER
vices is such that it taxes his ingenuity
to find time for all who desire them.
Now for one toot on our own
horn: OF the thirty or more sales ad-
vertised this season in The Messenger,
but very few have been advertised in
any other medium. (where they were
we have not attempted to appropriate
all the credit) and we believe that
without exception the results have
been very gratifying to the advertisers,
who have received a maximum of SER
vice at a very reasonable expense.
Two of the last sales Mr.. Powers con-
Quoted were those of Henry Lowell and
Dick Pike, in Thetford. These sales
were advertised exclusively in The
Messenger and by means of bills print
ed at this Office and the result was that
big crowds were in attendance at each
sale and everything brought top prices.
We have permission to refer any who
may be interested either to Mr.. Lowell
or Mr.. Pike, as to the results they Sc
cured through their ads in The Messen-
ger, and we are willing to stake our
reputation on their testimony.

PAST MASTERS NIGHT
PLEASANT EVENT
LARGE ATTENDANCE OF MASONIC
BRETHREN
Banquet Featured by Good Speeches.
Past Master Huyck Given
Beautiful Jewel

Past Masters Night, observed by Vi.
emma Lodge, No. 205, F. & A. M, last
Tuesday evening, was very enjoyable
affair and was largely attended, among
the guests being Mayor Earl F, John
son, of Flint; Attorneys Fred Brennan
and M. M. Frisbee, Alderman Craw-
ford and others of the same city The
supper, served by the ladies of the O.
E. s., was splendid-a fine testimonial
to their culinary skill as their suppers
always are. After the serving was
over POSTMASTER Geo. Lacure called
upon several of the past masters of the
lodge for remarks, all of whom re-
sponded briefly but in very entertain =
ing manner. Mayor Johnson was then
called upon and testified to the esteem
in which he held Clio and her institu-
tions, saying that he felt almost as
though it were his home. as in his
younger days he had "sown his wild
oats in this vicinity and was now reap
ing them in Flint" Alderman Craw-
ford also made splendid short speech
in which he complimented the lodge on
its possession of one of the finest homes
in the state of Michigan, and short
speeches were made by several others.
Following the banquet the past masters
conferred the NJ. M. degree in very
impressive manner, incident to which
was the presentation to E. E. Huyck of
beautiful past masters jewel. The
presentation was made by Worshipful
Master r. M. Buffum and Past Master
Huyck responded in very feeling and
appropriate manner. The floor work
incident to the comforting of the degree
was done by the Birch Run Fellow crafts
who were apparelled in new costumes
and did the work in a very creditable
manner.

DID ITSELF PROUD
PROVIDED SPLENDID PROGRAM AT
ITS FIRST BANQUET
Dennie Upton and Horace F. Potter
Made Fine Addresses and Students
Handled Subjects Ably

The Clio High School Athletic Asso-
citation scored fine success at the BAN
auet which was held under its auspices
last Friday evening. They are sincere
ly to be complimented and the patrons
of the schools are to be congratulated
upon the fact that our boys and girls
have gained the knowledge and the
executive ability to carry out the
undertaking in the capable manner in
which it was carried out. In the first
place, we want to compliment the
young ladies on the character of the
menu, which, we understand, was en-
tirely of their own preparing. 1t was
good and shows that the girls are get
ting a comprehensive grasp on the
more material things of life as well as
on it's finer accomplishments. The ta-
bles were prettily arranged and made
the big room look very inviting.
Rev. E. c. C. Benson gave very APP
propriate invocation which was fol-
lowed by the introduction of the toast
master by Prof. w. d. White. c. H.
Reed acted as POSTMASTER and first in
troduced M. c. Doyle who gave an
entertaining and instructive talk on
"Athetics and the Municipality, in
which he emphasized the important
part that athletics play in shaping the
character of boys and girls and advo-
Gated the extension to them of every
possible assistance in this department
of school work.
Master Don Littlefield sang "My Lit
tie Gray Home in the West" so charm
ingly that he was compelled to respond
to an encore and Earl Maltby in very
understanding and able manner told
how "Team Loyalty Wins Victory, "
not only on the athletic field but in the
larger field of life's general activities.
The Ladies' Quartette sprung gen.
uine surprise in their number, appear.
ing as black face artists, and singing
southern melodies in way that brought
a storm of applause and compelled the
rendering of a second selection. This
was followed by talk by former Coun-
ty School Commissioner Horace F. Pot
ter, who from the topic Athletics and
the School Spirit" gave the boys and
girls and patrons of the schools some
very sound advice on the things that
go to make schools successful. He also
paid tribute to the enterprise of Clio

LOCAL PROMOTER TO ATTEND BIG CHI-
 CAG0 CONVENTION
Will Gain Much Knowledge During Week SpentAmong
 Talent of World.

Roy Bell, manager of the local Lyceum organization and who is endeavoring to put on the best Lyceum course this winter ever presented in Ozark, is planning to attend the Fourteenth Annual Convention and Chautauqua of the International Lyceum Asso- citation which convenes in Chi cago at the Auditorium hotel September 14th and last six days. At this convention MT. Bell will meet chautauqua and Lyceum people from all over the world and, incidentally. will meet the talent which he has SO fortunately secured for Ozark this winter. Roy is going to take in the convention for what he can learn and is rapidly de- veloping into a real chautauqua aud Lyceum man such as any town many times our size should justly be proud.
 This summer while travelling for the Community Lyceum Bu- reau, Mir. Bell conceived the idea of pulling off something big in Ozark this winter and pulled the string" to the tune of seven big numbers for us at the price of five-$2. 50 for a single ticket or $4 for a double. Roy now has his whole heart and soul in the work and is putting forth every effort to secure the nec- essary guarantee which h e hopes to obtain before departing for the convention-at least he wishes to get the proper num- Der of tickets sold to reasonably
