TO ST. CLAIR co. VOTERS

Port Huron, Mich, July 3. 90
The probable future growth in
population in this city and coun-
ty with the inevitable increase in
crime that always goes with in
crease in population demands the
nomination and election of sher-
if with experience and ability to
deal with this situation. Mr.. Har-
rison w. Names who is a candi-
date, has these qualifications and
if he is nominated and elected
sheriff it will be the best guaran-
tee that the people will be pro-
tected against the criminal.
All women voters should be
sure to register and to vote both
at the primary and at the final
election, in order that the best
officials obtainable may be chosen.

"NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTER"

Never has any theatrical attrac-
tion appeared in Detroit which
received such high praise from
every newspaper as Annette Kel-
lermann in "Neptune's Daughter"
the pictorial production which
broke all records by remaining at
the Detroit Opera house for Ia
weeks and playing to over 100000
people. In a column editorial the
Detroit Free Press said: "For two
hours and a half the audience sat
enthralled; one moment it was
gasping at Miss Kellermann's 8
marvellous feats, the next moment
it was admiring the beautiful set
tings of the Bermudian scenery,
and then wildly applauding some
particularly thrilling episode in
the story. 'Neptune's Daughter
marks new epoch in the film
dramatic art. The production is
beautiful, and really beyond de-
scription."

atre, Friday evening July 23rd.

KEEP BROWN IN THE
PROBATE OFFICE

1t will not be the policy of the
Independent to make general ell
dorsements of candidates for
several Offices in the primaries
this year. But there is one en-
dorsement this paper feels it an
honor to make and that is for
George l.. Brown for Judge of
Probate. The Independent be-
lieves emphatically that there
should be no change in this office
so faithful and efficient has been
the official career of Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Brown has devoted about
eleven years as probate register
and can easily be classed as the
watch dog of ST. Clair county's
probate business.
Mr.. Brown received the appoint
ment as Judge of Probate by Gov.
Sleeper upon the resignation of
Judge Hart, and during his career
as Probate Judge he has proven
himself very courteous and faith
full at all times. Petitions have
been circulated for his nomina-
ton. By all means keep Geo. l..
Brown at the Probate Office

Annual School Meeting
Held Monday Evening
KID PARTY

Fourteen years ago Pauline
Fead gave a party with many of
her little girl friends to help her
celebrate her fifth birthday.
On Tuesday this week twenty
four young ladies, quite a number
being among those who attended
the observance of her fifth birth
day, gathered at Pauline's home
as her guests and celebrants of
her nineteenth natal day.
They were all dressed as kids"
and the merriment caused by this
display of childish charms set
them in great gales of laughter,
and brought most of the neigh
bors to the scene to share in the
enjoyment. After a few simple
games like "Ring-around-the-R Rosy
were played, the call for dinner
came. 1t was regular grown-up
dinner, three bountiful courses,
served at six tables on the screen
ed porch, but whether the guests
used their kid manners or those
of grown-ups we are not pre-
pared to say.
Anyway they had the most won
derful appetites and the dainties
disappeared like magic.
Afterwards a short auto ride
was had and then these young
sters draped themselves all over
the lawn, sang songs, played
games, had several pictures
taken and never had so good q
time in their lives until 10:30,
when all went obediently home,
as though they were only five
years old.

Manager Barr Has Decided to go
Into Garage Business-NO
Money in Theatre

For the past year or more Man
ager VIM. f. Barr, of the Audi
torium has been contemplating
making a change in the business.
Time has proven to his satisfac-
tion that the city of Yale would
not support playhouse the size
of the Auditorium, so last week
he decided to go into the garage
business.
Many changes will be made in
the big building and when fin
ished it will be one of the most
complete garages in this part of
the state.
Mr.. Barr has been manager of
the Ford Sales and Service Sta
ton for some time and on Satur-
day last he severed his connec-
tions with that institution.
His brother, Chas. Barr, will
be associated with him in the new
hrm. Both of these gentlemen
have had many years experience
i'll the automobile business, and
their motto will be what you
want when you want it."
The new firm will sell the
Buick and Chevrolet cars, both
well-known makes, in this locality
and we predict for them success
Irom the very start.
BESIDES the sales department
they will do all kinds of repair
work, vulcanizing, etc.
We wish Barr Bros. unlimited
success in their new undertak-
ing.

Herb T. Hennessy Elected AS
Trustee Without Opposition
Large Crowd Out.

The annual school meeting for
District No. was held in the
High room on Monday evening
last. One Of the largest crowds
ever in attendance at school
meeting in this district was pres
ent, the room being filled with
voters.
Promptly at eight o'clock the
meeting was called to order by
President l.. Roy Fuller and the
treasurer's report was read and
approved.
Next in order was the election
OF trustee for three years to
succeed John Hutton, whose term
had expired. The only name pre-
sented was Herb T. Hepnessy
and motion was made to have
the secretary cast a ballot declar-
ing him elected.
This was the main feature of
the big show and the remainder
OF the business was disposed of
in short order.
In years past, when the annual
school meeting was called there
would barely be enough present
to carry on the business, and it is
gratifying to note that the people
are beginning to take an interest
in school matters.
John Hutton, the retiring trus-
tee, has served the district we'll
for a number of years, and the
people have nothing but words OF
praise for his work.
The board will meet within a
few days, organize and elect
their officers for the coming year.

BIG DOUBLE CIRCUS
COMING THIS WAY
kingling Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey Combined Announce
Exhibitions at Early Date

This locality has entertained
many circuses, but never anything
to compare with the gigantic dou-
BILE shows billed as Ringing Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey Combined
which will exhibit afternoon and
night at Port Huron Saturday,
July 81.
The merging of these mammoth
institutions in one circus of colos-
sal size, constitutes the amuse-
ment surprise of the century.
Nothing to approach this gigantic,
new circus has ever before toured
America. 1t has been formed by
picking the cream of all that was
biggest and best in the two IA
nous shows. 1t would be folly to
attempt to enumerate its many
wonders. Some idea of the enor-
nous scale upon which features
are presented may be had when it
is stated that quarter of a mil
lion pounds of elephants take
part in single act. In other
words-six times as many of the
big-eared giants than have ever
before been seen in one main-tent
exhibition. All else to be seen is
in proportion. The arenic stars
embrace all the worlds foremost
circus performers. There are
three hours of novelties and big
sensational acts. The menagerie
is far and away the most colossal
ever travelled. For instance a
herd Of eight giraffes are exhib-
tied in place of the two or three
shown in the past. The great
tournament which opens the main
tent program, is the most magnif-
icent thing in pageantry yet pro-
duced in America. Hundreds up
on hundreds of gorgeously cos
TUNED characters and beautiful
horses take part in it. The morn
ing street parade is the longest
and most brilliant ever given
anywhere and offers something
entirely new and novel in process
sional display. 1t is a stupendous
double circus that battles descrip-
ton.
