The Kelly-Brennan Company which
was to have appeared here some weeks
ago have written the editor to say
that they have found it impossible to
reach Clio until date very much
later in the season.
We were compelled to print the
Messenger early this week in order
that the editor may get away to per-
form service on the Draft Board. If
there are any shortcomings we ask
your generous consideration.
We have very interesting letter
from our friend Lieutenant Runnells,
written at Fort Benjamin Harrison
which we expect to publish next week
Our young soldier is well and finds
much that is interesting in his work
and surroundings.

to Millington their old home. Mrs.
Alonzo Bostick and daughter, Eloise,
accompanied them on the trip.
The Chautauqua will be feast of
intellectually and diversion. 1t will
also be cheap. 1t seems unlikely that
any further celebration will be held
in Clio this season. Therefore plan
upon attending the Chautauqua every
session. When the question of hav-
ing Chautauqua was presented to
the people last year they were enthu-
siastic in support of it. Now, let's
all take hold and make good and
then, if we don't want it another year
we can let it slide. But this year, for
the sake of old Clio, let's put it across,
as we put everything across, success
fully.
