intoxicated, and Dennis Conroy,
farm hand, paid five dollars for be-

accident in which King narrowly es-
capped death. In addition, several gal
Ions Of moonshine whiskey in the
making, were confiscated by the
sheriff's department and is being held
as evidence against Holiak. Accord
ing to the officer, King took his car
out of the garage at New Lothrop

upward They are IL feet high. The
bridge is about 80 feet above the

bridge, lost control of his car, and it
straddled one of these ratings and
went clear to the top, then toppled
off onto the bridge, completely
wreeking the car. Had it gone the
other way King might have been kill

taken a drop of AZ feet. King was
only slightly bruised by the fall. The

Sheriff William Conroy went to the

left. They later located him and in

in the bcets and living in house en-
Kings land was making whiskey from
lemons, raisins, yeast and water.
They also found Conrov drunk, and

VOTE FOR NEW SCHOOL

A mass meeting held at The Persh-
ing Theatre, Mt. Morris, last Mon
day evening, to consider the ncces-
sity of new school building for that
rapidly growing burg was attended
by large crowd which evinced the
liveliest interest in the proceedings.
George Hackney, the efficient super
intendent of the schools, presided
and stated in a general way the pur-
pose of the meeting. Following this
he introduced the Assistant Super
intendent of Public Instruction who
told of the advantages of good
schools in a community and of the
requirements of the law in that re-
gard. 1t had been expected that Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction
Thomas f. Johnson would be pres
ent, but he was detained because Of
illness in his family and his assist
ant came in his stead. This gentle
man was perfectly posted on the SUBJ
ject at issue and gave Mt. Morris tax
payers some disinterested and valua-
BILE advice. County Commissioner j.
L. Riegle also made a short and in
spring address and the editor Of The
Clio Messenger gave a short talk on
the Importance and value of good
schools. 1t should be said in passing
that the Mt. Morris Orchestra was
present and the speaking was inter-
spersed with very enjoyable musi-
cal program. At the conclusion Of
the speaking Archie Bray, chairman
of the School Board, called for an
expression of opinion as to whether
or not the board should proceed to
call an election for the voting of
bonds for a new school building, the
result being that there was practi-
cally an unanimous vote in favor Of
such action.
The editor would take this oppor-
tunity to compliment the citizens of
Mt. Morris on their attitude toward
this important matter. They certain
ly could do nothing better calculat-
ed to enhance the reputation Of their
growing town, nothing more condu-
Give to its growth, than to make it
possible to say of it that it has as
good schools as can be found in
Michigan.

daughter, Ida, where she received
special medical aid and was tenderly
and affectionately cared for by her
daughters, Mrs. Eaton and Mrs. Ea-

this world to that home where they

MATRIMONIAL
Yerden-Corham.

A very pretty home wedding was
celebrated last Monday evening at
$500 o'clock, when Miss Bertha Luel-
la Yerden, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. F. Yerden, of Clio, became the
bride of Mr.. Louis o. Gorham, Of
Flint. The ceremony was performed
at the residence of the brides par
ents, Rev. A. T. Camburn being the
officiating clergyman. The rooms of
the spacious residence were hand
somely decorated for the occasion,
goldenglow and goldenrod being US
ed in profusion and with charming
effect. The bridal pair, unattended,
entered the apartment where the
ceremony was performed to the
strains of the wedding march played
by Miss Dorothy Hymen. The brides
gown was of white crepe de chine and
georgette crepe and she carried a
shower boquet of cream roses. At
the conclusion of the ceremony the
happy couple received the felicita-
tions of the guests, who were limited
to their immediate relatives, and a
bountiful luncheon was served. The
bride is one of the most popular and
accomplished young ladies of this
community, a charming musician,
and for some time past prominent in
church circles. The groom is an es-
Unable young man who but recently
returned from service in the army
overseas. Following short honey
moon trip the young people will be
at home to their friends at 1872 Tay-
lor street, Flint, and that prosperity
and happiness may ever attend them
will be the sincere wish of their
many friends.

DOGS KILL SHEEP

Sometime last Monday dogs got
into Ernest Stout's flock of sheep
and killed three fine lambs. 1t is
almost invariably the case that cur
dogs that have no good home and
are absolutely worthless commit
depredations Of this kind. AS mat
ter Of fact, the township pays for
sheep killed in this way but it is Of
ten the case that it takes year or
more for a flock to recover from
the fright occasioned by being wor-
ried by dogs. 1t would be mighty
good thing if all the worthless dogs
could be sent to the happy hunting
ground.
