CENESEE GRANGE AHEAD

Abont twenty-five automobiles, oc-
cupied by members of Genesee
County Pomona Grange, made the
trip to Grand Rapids, last week, to
attend the meeting of the national
Grange. Nearly every state in the
Union sent representatives to this
great gathering of agriculturists-
who carry on the basic industry of
the world. The proceedings were
very interesting, and the ceremonies
incident to the comforting Of the sew
enth degree, under direction of the
national officers, are said to have
been very beautiful. John c. Ketch-
am, Master Of Michigan State
Grange, was elected to the respon-
sible position of lecturer of the ma
tional organization. Genesee Pomo-
ma made the proud showing of hav-
ing more members in attendance at
the meeting than any other county
in the state, and these people, when
complying with a request to arise, so
they could be seen, were accorded an
ovation. The meeting of the State
Grange will be held in Saginaw, be-
ginning on Tuesday, December 9th,
which will make it very convenient
for members Of the order who re-
side in this locality to attend.

YOUTHFUL HORSE THIEVES

Two young boys, whose homes are
said to be in Saginaw, made up their
minds to become desperadoes of the
most lurid dime novel type, and
chose Clio as good place to begin.
So, they stole rides on the cars and
in due time arrived at the scene of
the great adventure. First off, of
course, they must steal horse, and
this happened to be placid nag, be-
longing to Archie Sears, of Thetford,
and quartered in the Grange sheds.
The boys got away with the horse
Monday afternoon, at about three,
and wandered around the country,
visiting relatives and having a good
time generally, until Marshal Chas.
Best picked them up. If they had
known about the marshal we bet
they would have started their career
as bad men somewhere else. The
horse, uninjured, was restored to
its owner and the youthful bandits
were taken back to the common
place things of home, at Saginaw, by
officers who came after them for
that purpose.

BRIDGES NEARLY DONE

Favored by the phemominally warm
weather which has prevailed during
the fall months, the contractors have
been able to get all of the cement
work in on the new Vienna Street
bridge and are now engaged in filling
the approaches with dirt. If the
weather holds good, they expect to
have this work all done by Thanks
giving, after which it is possible the
bridge will be passable for teams
and autos, although, of course, this
wills depend largely upon the
weather. If we have plenty of rain
and comparatively warm weather,
the freshly moved dirt will easily
dissolve into mud of a depth that
will interrupt traffic, while, if it
should freeze soon after the fill is
made, and remain frozen, the bridge
and road will be usable until it
breaks up in the spring. Let us
hope that the latter will be the case,
as it will be a big convenience to
our friends who live east of town.
The contractor who built the Vienna
bridge had strenuous time in
blasting out the concrete abutments
of the old bridge, which were in his
way, and in getting firm foundation
for the new structure in the silt of
the creek bed. The new bridge, how
ever, will be fine one, In making
the excavation for the new bridge,
the workmen uncovered some of the
old sleepers, of what was possibly the
first bridge across the creek. These
were ten or twelve feet below the
level Of the present structure and
were made Of big white pine logs,
about two feet through. These
big pines were undoubtedly cut near
the spot where they were used, and
after having been buried for more
than half a century were still sound
and in good condition.

A MIGHTY HUNTER

Hereafter, in local annals, at least,
the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt
will not be known as the only "big"
game hunter. He will have a COM
petitor for fame in the person of G.
w. Jobson, who returned from the
Upper Peninsula, the first of the
week, with the biggest deer ever seen
in these parts. Indeed, it is said to
have been one of the largest that the
old residenters of the hunting
grounds where it was killed had
ever seen-that is since the country
went dry. 1t was magnificent
buck, weighing all of three hundred
pounds, the antlers having spread
of twenty inches. Beside this, we
want to say that Cal shot the deer at
a distance of at least five hundred
yards, which is "some" shot. We
had kind of thought that Mr.. Jobson
just went along hunting with some
one else, but now we know that he
belongs in the front rank of the nim-
rods of mighty deeds.

DEATH OF BERNIcE TINKER


Died, Thursday, November the
18th, 1919, Bernice M. Tinker, be-
loved daughter of Harry c.. Tinker,
Of Clio,
Tenderly Gods angels held aside
the curtains Of Heaven for the. pure,
white soul of Bernice to, pass
through.
Reverently, with bowed heads,
eight cousins, Harold and Carl
Tinker, Wayland, Howard, Carlyle
ahdfAlton Miller, Ralph Bartholo-
new and Fred Gates, bore all that
was mortal of Bernice to it's last
resting place.
Lovingly, with streaming eyes and
aching hearts, ten young women, as
sociate teachers, Mrs. Lita Th6mp-
son, Mrs. Lillian Peck, Miss Lulu
Brockway, Miss Mary Maurer,a Miss
Jean Jackson, Miss Helen Moss, Miss
Cecil Stebbins, Miss Nellie Thacker.
Miss Ann Field and Miss Elizabeth
Coates, acting as honorary bearers,
walked with Bernice for the last
time. All through their lives these
young women will carry the memory
of the beautiful character of her
they loved so wen.
Beside father; sister, Mrs. Glenn
Montague; brother, Leo, and little
brother, Kenneth, whom, since the
death of their mother, three years
ago, she had mothered so tenderly,
she leaves many relatives, many
friends, each one of whom will live a
better, purer life from having known
and loved Bernice.
Though only thirty years and
seven months old, she leaves a
golden record of a beautiful life.
All who knew her loved her.. and
when we left her sleeping among the
beautiful flowers, each one Of us
could feel that, the soul of Bernice
lowered above us, bidding US not to
grieve for her, but to take up her
work, finish it for her; help others,
as she had helped them, all her too
short life.
Bernice was graduate. Of Clio
High School and of Michigan State
Normal College, and also attended
the Northwestern University. Af--
ter completing the State Normal
course, she taught two years in the
High School at Memphis. For
seven years she had taught in the
Flint Public Schools, two years at
the, Kearsley and five at Homedale.
In her school work, her ideals
were of the highest, always tending
toward something BETTER loftier.
Her influence with fellow teachers,
as well as with pupils, was always Of
a kind to spur them \, on to better
things, to aim at the higher ideals
and to achieve richer results.
The Flint Public Schools will miss
her as an instructor, the teachers and
pupils will feel personal loss of
dear friend.
The funeral was held Monday
afternoon from the home near Clio.

Mrs. Mary Kyser, wife of Alonzo
Kyser, died at her home in Clio,
Sunday, November 16, her death be-
ing due to stroke of paralysis which
she suffered about nineteen months
ago. She was a most estimable lady,
whose demise, while it came as a
release from long continued suffer-
ing, will be sincerely mourned, not
only by her immediate family, but
by all who had the privilege of know
ing her. Mrs. Kyser was born in
Brighton, October 8, 1S43, and was
married August %, 1859. She had
been a resident of Clio for the past
IL years and is survived by her ven-

Roys

Lafayette Roys died at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. d. Raby, in Clio, Thurs
day, Nov. 13, 1919, after being i'll
for number of months of heart
disease and dropsy. He was born in
Ohio, Jan. IA, 1851, coming with
his parents to Pine Grove when a
small lad His residence in this To-
cality covered period of more than
half century and it should be said
Of him that he was always known as
an industrious and honest man. He
was, moreover, of a genial and gen
erous disposition and made many
friends who will ever bear him in
kindly memory. His wife preceded
him in death about four years ago.
He was one of the oldest members of
Clio L. o. L., No. 363, and was held
in very high esteem by his brethren
of that order. He is survived by
one son, r. J. Roys, of Flint, and by
two grandchildren. Funeral services
were held from the M. E. Church,
Saturday afternoon, being under the
auspices of the Orange lodge. The
sermon was preached by Rev. A. T..
Camburn and the interment was in
Woodlawn cemetery. We would
take this opportunity of paying a
tribute to Mr.. and Mrs. d. Raby for
their splendid generosity and their
kindness of heart in providing Mr..
Roys with home and care during
six months of his illness. 1t was a
splendid thing for them to do, and
we sincerely trust that Providence
may have in store for them an
abundant reward.

The total valuation of real estate

the State Board, $81, 234,571. The
total valuation of personal property
is $37,612,414.
We are not ascribing any unjust
intent to anybody, but it is not a
fair way to ascertain the ratio of
valuation in any township to pick out
parcels that have been sold for high
prices, as matter of shrewd bar
gaining, rather than real worth,
place them alongside the very best
property in township and strike an
average therefrom. If this plan
were to be applied to property in
City of Flint, we venture to say the
result would at least be surprising.
1t will be observed that the total
valuation of all real estate in the
county has been lowered by about
seven and one-half millions, but all
of this and nearly fifteen millions
beside represent reductions accorded
the city of Flint.
