TWENTY YEARS AGO
INTERESTING ITEMS FROM
THE FILES OF THE
EXPOSITOR IN 1900


c. A. Reeves moved from Avoca
to- Yale.
The Shakespeare club met with
Jessie MerigOld.
Elder j. II. Patton was pastor at
the Brick Chapel.
Souvenir books Of Yale were on
sale at the school house.
John Hutton and family were
spending two weeks among friends
in Oscoda.
The news that Queen Victoria
had died on January %, was pub
lished in the EXpositor Jan. 25,
1901. Her reign was over sixty
years.
The junior class in high school
was organized with Arthur Car
son, president; Irving Bowman,
secretary; Blanche Parkinson,
treasurer.
The bitter cold weather made
not lreS necessary ana Jne nfe at
the home of John Sexton became
so hot that it overhowed and caus-
ed the fire laddies to be called out.
The flames were soon overcome.
The early evening closing of
Yale stores was an action so well
suited to the clerks and shOp-men
that all showed their appreciation
to the merchants by ordering
banquet spread at the Rapley
house and inviting merchants and
business men to participate. TIL
feast and after dinner program
was a great success.
Will Hyde, who lived a mile
north Of Yale, and still lives there,
had a pair of the finest of Durham
steers, exactly the same age, three
years old. They were raised to-
gether, fed the same kinds and
same amounts of feed. And then
he had the animals weighed, and
they weighed exactly the same, not
pound difference, the amount
being 1880 pounds each.

AN ENTERTAINMENT COURSE

Believing that Yale is, in a
sense, not progressing, when a
course Of lectures and entertain
ments, bound to improve, is not
on the itinerary for the winters
lprogram, the Music Study Club
has taken the matter up with a
representative from the Interna-
tional Bureau and after due delib-
GRAFTON, the members have decided
to sponsor a lecture course for
next season.
Five numbers have been prom
ised, the character of which will
be announced in due time.
Yale's right thinking people,
and they are all that, will, we are
sure, be very glad of an opportun-
| ity like this to hear and see some
of the best things from the Bureau
and we are also sure that a splen-
did and successful patronage will
be accorded this effort of the
Music Club, and that the Club will
FIND its efforts along this line, as
well as along its own particular
work. to be we'll worth while.
