NEW BUSINESS HOUSE

A. Lee Brown will open to the citi-
zens of Clio and vicinity, on Saturday
morning, one of the most artistic
and complete jewelry stores in this
part of the state. Mr.. Brown is
thoroughly familiar with the jewelry
business, having been employed for
number of years by some of the lead
ing firms in the state in that line, and
having conducted large retail store
in Flint, under his own name, until
last October when he sold out with
the expectation of entering the army.
Clio has needed first class jewelry
store, and with his beautiful stock
and store and thorough acquaintance
with the business, we believe that
Mr.. Brown will enjoy a successful
trade from the very start. We take
pleasure in calling the attention of
our readers to Mr.. Browns announce
ment of his opening, which appears
elsewhere in this paper, and sincere
ly trust that he will receive the
measure of patronage which his en-
terprise merits.

SUCCESSFUL PARTIES

The dancing party given for the
benefit of the Masonic Temple Asso-
ciation, under the direction of Mes
srs. Louis Lather and Ray Ford, last
Friday evening, was a very notable
event. In fact all of the dances
given under the management of these
gentlemen have been notable, but the
last one was especially so, 1872 num-
bers having been sold. 1t is probably
long time since any dancing party
held in Clio has been more literally
patronized than was this one. The
secret Of the success of these parties
lies in the fact the managers have
provided good music and have been
careful to maintain the best Of order
always. The result is that very nice
class of young people have been
patronizing the parties, the popular
ity of which has grown until the
capacity Of the big floor has been
taxed to its utmost Aside from the
social and business success that
Mesrs Lather anr Ford have scored,
they are entitled to an acknowledge
ment of the financial support they
have been the means of affording the
Temple Association. On Friday
evening, May 16, another party will
be given under the same auspices as
heretofore.

TO FORMER RESIDENT

EDITORS Note]-The following
tribute to Mark Shafer and family,
former residents of Thetford, and the
excerpt from the newspaper, which
appears above it, were given us for
publication several weeks ago, but
we found it impossible to publish
them until the present. The death
of the young man referred to tool.
place on Feb. 13. The paragraph
first appearing below is an extract
from The Hemet (Calif.l b News, and
the second is tribute from friend
of the family who resides in Thet-
ford:
"The friends of the family of M. j.
Shafer were grieved to learn that
their son, Charles F. Shafer, died
Thursday morning. Charles was 10
years, cid and was born in Michigan,
but had lived with his parents in
Hemet about seven years. About
three weeks ago he had rising of
the frontal sinus, but his condition
was not thought to be so serious.
Early Thursday morning he took a
chill and passed away almost without
warning, Besides his parents, he
leaves brother, Bernard. Funeral
arrangements have not as yet been
completed"
mark Shafer and family are well
known in Thetford, as they were res .
idents of the township for several
years before their removal to Califor-
mia, seven years ago. Mr.. an Mrs.
Shafer were both enthusiastic men,
bers of Thetford A. O.. o. G., and
while their membership continued
the lodge flourished. Mr.. Shafer was
chief cleaner for several years, while
his wife held the Office of secretary
treasurer. He was chief CLEANER
while the lodge was held in East
Thetford Hail. They will be remem-
bered for their many acts of kindness
during sickness and death in the
homes of their friends throughout
the entire community. Their two
sons, Charlie, now deceased, and
Bernard, attended Thetford Center
school. The many friends of the
family in this community will sympa-
thize with them most deeply in their
bereavement

We pushed forward to the Meuse
River and here on the morning of
November IL, hostilities were called
off by the signing of the armistice.
Our Division was then assigned as
a part of the Army of Occupation
and few days later we started on
our "hike" into Germany. We cross
ed the Meuse at Stenay, hiked out of
France, across the southern part of
Belgium, through the Grand Duchy
of Luxemburg and thence into Ger
many. Thanksgiving was spent in a
little town named Sapogne, in
France. After hiking around Ger
many awhile, we finally located here
in Saarburg, on the Saar River, not
far from Trier, one of the oldest
towns in Germany. Trier dates back
to about 400 years B. c., so you see
it is rather ancient.
And so, my story ends. AS one of
our captains remarked on the day
the armistice was signed: 81 wouldn' t
take a million dollars for my ex-
perience, nor would give fifty CENTS
for another just like it." Sherman
was right in more ways than one,
and, believe me, there's nothing ro-
mantle about war-modern warfare
at least.
Yours very truly,
Vernon C. Swihart,
I'd Lieut.. r. l. o,
355th Inf.

ened our positions, and then held
this new line until the early part of
October.
Then we were relieved by another
Division and were moved over to the
Argonne front, where we relieved my
old Division, the 32d. Here we
"went over" once more, on the
Meuse-Argonne push. This was
hot fighting, not trench warfare, but
open warfare, fighting over fields
and through woods and underbrush,
the Germans fighting a rear-guard
action, mostly, with machine guns.
Cold, rainy weather, with more mud
than / ever dreamed was in existence.

GIVE THEM THE BRIGHT
FLOWERS NOW


Closed eyes can not see the white roses:
Cold hands can not hold them you know;
Breath that is stilled can not gather
The oders that sweet from them blow.
Death. with peace beyond dreaming
Its children of earth doth endow:
Life is the time we can help them.
So give them the sweet flowers now.
Here. are the struggles and strivings:
Here. are the cares and the tears.
Now. is the time to be soothing
The frowns. and the burrows and fears.
What to closed eyes are kind sayings?
What to hushed heart is deep vow?
Naught can avail after parting.
So give them the bright flowers now.
