knowledge obligation to Postmaster

beautiful red raspberries we have ev-

constitute.

ceded that he made first class of

came to Clio, Saturday, and taking
the formers parents, Mr.. and Mrs. l..
d. Gillett, motored to Howard City
to visit Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Gillett
and family. The trip is reported to
have been the most pleasant, the
crops along the way being splendid
and the scenery, both in the vicinity
of Howard City and elsewhere, well
worth seeing. Ralph Gilleett, who
was quite i'll this spring is now much
better and is hard at work. The
factory is which he is interested will
not be moved, as was announced
some time ago, and it is now being
enlarged to accommodate increasing
business.
Once more we must acknowledge
the kindness of friends. Mrs. Ida
Bingham noting our plea for an In
dian battle axe has added one to our
collection and HI. F. Bodine respond
ed with a large hammer of stone
used by the same prehistoric race
that made the battle axe. These are
most interesting articles and we are
very thankful to get them. We can

the case of others it is wholly mat

Mr.. and Mrs. H.. F. Bodine called
on Clio friends, Wednesday. Some
time in September they expect to go
to California, where, for a time, at
least, they will make their home.
The editor guesses The Messenger
has already said, but it will bear re-

man Of Clio for many years; that we
