Mrs. Ann M. Rathbun, sister Of
Mrs. Geo. Swihart. died very suddenly
at her home in Flint last Tuesday morn
ing, March 13, 1917 She had been a
guest of her sister in this place several
days last week. and was apparently in
her usual state of health when she re-
tired the evening previous to her death,
but about 3 o'clock the following morn
ing she aroused her daughter, Julia,
saying that she was choking to death.
The daughter hastily called two physic-
ians who did everything within their
power for the afflicted lady. but de-
spite whose efforts she passed away in
about three quarters of an hour. Mrs.
Rathbun was born April 6. 1851. For
several years she resided in this COM
munity, where her many excellent
qualities won for her wide circle of
friends, all of whom will experience
sincerest sorrow at her untimely death.
Deceased is survived by two sons, Ira,
of Washington and Herbert, now in
the Philippines. also by two daughters,
Mrs. Bert Wilber, of Flint, and Julia
who resided with her mother,
also by her sister, Mrs. Swihart,

Chance for Good Cows

Those of our readers who are interest
ed in good milch cows will find a special
attraction in the combination sale to be
held in Clio by E. l., Powers next Sat
urday, details of which are given in a
large ad. elsewhere in this issue. At
this sale ten splendid grade Holstein
cows from the herd of A. Littlefield
will positively be sold to the highest
bidders. These cows are all young and
are giving from 40 to 81 lbs of milk
daily. They are possibly as fine a
bunch of grade Holstens as there is in
the country and Mr. Jittlefield will sell
them only because he plans to keep
nothing but pure bred, registered stock
in the future.

Trying for Lower Fare.

A joint meeting of Clio citizens who
work in the Flint factories and of local
business men was held at the council
room last Thursday evening, for the
purpose of taking action that would re-
suit in reduction of the fare between
the two places. Ever since the Inter-
urban road was put through, until few
weeks ago, a fifteen cent fare would
take a passenger from Clio to Flint
city limits, which was close enough to
the factories to render walking easy.
But, few weeks since, the city limits
were enlarged since which time the
fifteen cent fare has been applied to
the new city limits necessitating the
payment of an extra nickel in order
that a workman might reach his work.
Similar regulations have been enforced
against Mt Morris workmen and these
are cooperating with the Clio men to
secure a return to the rate of fare
formerly charged. M. G. Doyle was
appointed chairman of committee to
confer with the railroad officials with
regard to the matter.

Desires Road Improvement

S. G. Brown, who has resided for
many years on his farm 81 miles north
east of town, is strangly OF the opinion
that the Tuscola road, 'on which his
farm is located. needs and is deserving
of improvement as much as any high
way in the township This road, Mr..
Brown says, was one of the first that
was laid out in this ,ction. being orig
inally an Indian trail which led from
Detroit to TIE fisheries at Cass City
When settlement first began it foil
owed this trail, which thus naturally
became a highway of such Importance
that later surveys left it undisturbed.
1t is one Of the main thoroughfares lead
ing to this village and extends on into
Atbela township and to the villages Of
Tuscola and Vassar. In Arbela the
road has been graveled up to the county
line but in this township, according to
Mr.. Brown, it is in very bad condition
and is badly in need of improvement.
1t is said that no road in the township
could be repaired with greater economy
because there are numerous pits along
its length, in the highway, where gravel
can be procured at no expense except
for the hauling. 1t is probable that a
proposition will be laid before the citi-
zens of the township at the town meet
ing looking to the improvement of this
thoroughfare and those interested in the
project are requested to be present and
lend their aid at that time.
