were rendered anxious by his illness
fapd are now rejoicing at his recovery.
The many friends of Mrs. Phoebe
Baker will be glad to know that she is
much improved in health after the Sc
we're attack of illness which she suffer
ed during the early months of the win
ter, being now able to get about the
house handily and occasionally to visit
some of the nearby peighbors.
The report was current in the village
last week that John Diamond, who is in
the mercantile business at Otisville,
was seriously i'll. We are glad to be
able to state the report was ERRONEOUS.
Mr.. Diamond is in his usual health and
is doing a thriving business in his new
location.
We cannot think of any village i'm
provement that would be more of
convenience than having our streets
1arked with neat signs giving their
names, 1t would also be good ad-
Ivertisement of that spirit of progress
which is making our town favorably
known throughout this section of the
state
The friends of c. A. Genet, who
formerly represented the Saginaw
Sugar Company in this vicinity, recent.
ly received newspaper from him in
which details were given of Masonic
Fair over which he presided. That it
WAS some hummer of a fair may be
judged from the fact that the receipts
were something over So. 10000.
j. H. O'Rourke was Clio visitor,
Monday. He reports his business in
Montrose as thriving nicely and says
that his new lighting plant, which is
built of brick and building blocks, is
rapidly nearing completion. We under
stand that power for the plant will be
supplied by a new type kerosene oil
motor. Mrs. O'Rourke and little Carol
Jean are well and happy in their new
home.
David Whaley, notice of whose injury
by belligerent ram was noted last
week, is said to be making satisfactory
progress toward recovery. as is also
the small son of Mr.. and Mrs. Archie
Bacon, who was so seriously hurt by
land roller few weeks ago. The
little boys limb is encased in heavy
plaster cast, notwithstanding which he
makes efforts to crawl about upon his
bed.
Homer Zavits, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Zavits, has purchased the resi-
dence of Lando Skinner. on East Vien-
ma st. and expects to occupy the same
in about month. Mr.. and Mrs Skin
ner, we understand, intend to buy
other property in Clio. 1t will be re-
membered that Frank Zavits purchased
the l.. A. Wright property number
of months ago, coming here from Mill
ington.

Our friend, Geo. N. Garrett, who is
visiting in Washington, has sent us
beautiful panoramic view of Mt. Yer
non, the home of Washington. which
he expects to visit before his return to
Michigan. Mrs. Rosamond Beebe, who
is now established in her summer home
at Bay View, has also favored us with
six beautiful post cards showing some
of the fine buildings in and about that
famous resort, also a storm on the
Petoskey shore and the well known
pleasure steamer, "Manitou." On the
reverse side of the last named card
Mrs. Beebe writes: 1.-The same boat
went to Chicago on at the time of the
fair. Nearly had shipwreck; the
smoke stack blew off and all our lights
went out.
This is little testimonial for a de-
serving professional brother of Clio,
and, by the way, the man who won't say
a good word for fellow townsman,
when he ought to, is deficient in the
qualities of good citizenship. But to
come to the point, we are sure all of
the readers have heard more or less
about painless dentistry" and we are
also sure there isn't any such thing if
the work is well done. 1t is merely
''guff" to catch suckers with. There
are degrees of 'painlessness" about it.
