PENCELLY WILL SPEAK

Next Tuesday evening the Clio
Board of Commerce will give din,
ner for members, and any other cit
izens who may care to attend, at the
banquet room of the Masonic Tenn
pie. The dinner will begin about
700 o'clock and will be real dinner,
SO those who are planning on being in
poor judgment to eat at home before
putting in an appearance. The lad
les of the Eastern Star will cater,
which in itself is assurance that there
will be plenty to eat and that it will
be prepared "to the queens taste" F"
After dinner there will be an enjoy
able program at table, during the
course Of which Rev j. Bradford
Pengelly, the eloquent Episcopalian
clergyman, of Flint, will deliver an
address. DR.. Pengelly spent several
months in France, just at the close
of the war, and these who have
heard hinf speak since his return say
that he has most interesting and
stirring message to deliver. His talk
will deal with the problems of recon-
struction, and as such will be appli-
cable to our local conditions here in
Clio. Besides DR.. Pengelly, there
will be other speakers of note, it is
expected, and hence, the meeting will
not only be enjoyable as an enter
tainment, but also distinct aid in
the program of community better
ment which the Board of Commerce
has in view Three directors will be
elected at this meeting and it is quite
possible that parties will present
proposals to start some new indus
tries here. Everyone who is inter-
ested in the progress of this section
of the county is not only invited, but
urged to attend this meeting.

FORMER RESIDENT DIES

George Buell. has received tele-
gram from Indianapolis, Ind, bear
ing the sad information that his sis
ter, Mrs. John Reilly, had passed
away at the home Of her daughter,
in that city. Mrs. Reilly was born
in East Thetford, in 1843. After
the death Of her mother, she went to

here about year ago, when she and
her husband were on their wa to
Atlanta, Ca, to spend the winter, as
was their usual custom. Mr.. Buell.

ten. Owing to the cold weather and
his advanced age he was unable to

held.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

If Sam Reed ever had any doubt
about his standing among his friends
and neighbors, it was all swept away
last Saturday evening, when twenty
five of them descended upon himself
and his estimable wife, to assist in a
fitting celebration of his 59th birth
day. We are credibly informed that
a genuine good time ensued, so good
that it seemed to Sam it was almost
worth waiting SO years for. But then,
come to think Of it, he'd had consider
able fun along the way. Cards and
visiting furnished abundant enter
tainment and an oyster supper was
served. AS testimonial of good
will and esteem, Mr.. Reed was pre-
sented with gold watch chain and
charm.

STUCK IN SNOW

1t ought to do many Of our read
ers, who have been towed in after
all sorts of motor mishaps, on city
streets and country lanes, by the pro-
fessional gentry whose names appear
herein, lot of good to read this lit
tie story. 1t will seem good that they
should know what trouble like that
feels like, when it comes home to
roost, so to speak. This is the tale !:
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Carter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Miller and Mr.. and Mrs. F..
B. McCrady and daughter, Lois,
started for the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lou Wildfong, last week Tuesday
evening, for the purpose of partak-
ing of a six o'clock dinner. These
gentlemen will be recognized as first
aids in automobile troubles, Of sew
eral years experience, accustomed to
digging people out of rnow drifts,
fishing them out Of bitches and pry-
ing them loose from wrecked ma
chines-all for gain. In fact they
have seemed to prosper and grow fat,
excepting Floyd, on other peoples
troubles of this kind. But this time
they ran slap dab into big Thetford
snow drift, and after they had backed
and bucked and snorted and boiled
over (not verbally of course), they
had to wade through the snow to the
nearest habitation and send a hurry
call for help to their prospective
host The latter came right over
with his little Ford and in a jiffy
snaked them out and had them on the
way to the dinner. BY the way, the
guests are all agreed that the dinner
was well worth all the effort it cost
to get it.

C. o. P. COUNTY BANQUET

No need to enlarge upon the char
acter of the annual banquets that are
given by the Republicans of Genesee,
through their county organization.
They have uniformly been so rich in
wit, wisdom and eloquence that they
have not only been literally patron
lied by members of the party, but
considerable numbers of the opposi-
ton party, as we'll And so, the an
nouncement that the next annual
banquet would be held on Tuesday
evening, February 10, has been
hailed with pleasure throughout the
entire county. On this OCCASION it is
expected that Col. Theodore Roose-
welt and other distinguished men will
be present and deliver addresses,
among them being Will Hayes, chair
man of the National Republican
Committee. We trust that all Re-
publicans will bear this date and
event in mind, and that they will
make every effort to attend. Tickets
will be on sale in Clio within few
days.

THoRoUGHBREDs WENT HIGH

Col. f. L. Powers conducted the
dispersal sale of the herd of pure
bred Holstein cattle, formerly the
property of l.. j. Benjamin, of Thet-
ford, the sale being held on Tuesday
of this week The owner of the
herd, who is really the most critical
judge, as rule, says he considers
the sale was very fine success, and
consequently, most reasonable per-
sons will have to agree that it was
1t totalled $405O.OO. The two top
notch cows sold for $4,000 and
$345.00, respectively. The two
year-old daughter of the $500 COW
sold for 1915 and her yearling dau-
ghter for 5000, so that the old COW
and her progeny, for two year per-
iod, brought their owner the tidy
sum of $1,075.00. All of the AMI
mails of the herd, above the age of
one year, brought an average price
of 1897 per head. Four two year
olds brought $3.50. This, of course,
is another triumph for our popular
auctioneer.

AUTO ACCIDENT

Mrs. Andrew Smith was the vic
tim of an automobile accident while
walking on the state road, west of
town, last Monday. She was run
down by car driven by Thomas
Blight and sustained a fractured
limb and other and more minor in
juries. Mr.. Blight informs us that
he gave the lady the signal that he
intended to pass, when coming up
behind her, and that just as he turned
out to accomplish this purpose she
stepped directly in front of the car,
not seeming to be aware Of its APP
proach. The many friends Of Mrs.
Smith will sympathize with her most
sincerely and, of course, Mr.. Blight
is very regretful that the accident
should have happened.

OBITUARY
Pratt

The sympathies of the people of
this community have gone out to Mr..
and Mrs. Floyd Pratt, within the past
week, because of the death of their
little son, William Ransford, who was
born Dec. 27, 1919, and died Jan. II,
1920. The little boys life was very
brief, but it was long enough to be-
come entwined most tenderly around
the hearts of his parents, wherein,
also, his memory will ever have the
sweetest and most sacred place.
Funeral services were held from the
home, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. A. T.
Camburn officiating, the remains be-
ing laid at rest in the cemetery at
Otisville. Friends in attendance at
the funeral, from out of town, were
the Misses Maud and Helen Pratt,
