CYCLIST SEVERELY HURT

Veirl Scott, we'll known young
man of Thetford Township, was very
seriously injured, Tuesday, when a
motor cycle which he was riding left
the roadway and plunged with its
driver into a barb wire fence. The
accident occurred near the residence
of Thos. Sheridan and we understand
the unfortunate cyclist had turned in
his saddle and was waving friendly
greeting to Glendon Sheridan when
his machine was unintentionally turn
ed from the roadway, a fact which he
did not discover until it was too late
to avoid the accident. A ragged cash
about 10 inches in length was cut
in the victims throat by the wire
and the jugular vein was punctured,
making a very dangerous and serious
injury. Fortunately, Vern Tolles
happened to be passing the scene of
the accident at about the time it hap
pened and Immediately brought the
injured man to Clio where he re-
ceived surgical assistance. He ar
rived none too quickly, either, as it
is said he probably would have died
had he gone without attention five
minutes longer. We understand that
he is progressing as favorably as can
be expected and that his complete
recovery is looked for.

Our friend, Ralph Alvord, has the
laugh on US. He read in one of our
papers statement about the porcu-
pine (hedgehog) which said that on
the approach of winter he first rolls
about in the leafy bitches, until his
spines have speared leaves enough to
make him a warm blanket. Then he
finds snug retreat in the roots of
an old tree, curls up, and snoozes
until spring. Now Ralph says this is
all wrong, because the hedgehog does
not hibernate but runs about all
winter and that he has frequently
shot them at that season. We shall
see that the hedgehog editor of The
Messenger is more accurate in the
future.

I NEW PICTURE THEATRE,

II Work is progressing nicely on
Clos new picture theatre, which the
management expects to have ready
to open to the public about the 21st
of the present month. The new thea
ire will be named "The Gem" and
will be conducted by A. Lee Brown
and H. l.. Mclaughlin, under the firm
name of Brown & Mclaughlin. Mr..
Brown is a we'll known business man
of this place, while Mr.. Mclaughlin
is an experienced picture theatre
man, having been musical entertainer
in the Regent Theatre at Flint for
some time and being at present a
that city. Both gentlemen are thor
oughly reliable in every way and
state that it will be their ambition to
give Clio picture theatre second to
none in this section of the state.
Paramount and Vitagraph films will
be shown, identically the same in
every respect as those shown in the
leading theatres in the big cities. The
machine and other apparatus will be
of the latest type, so the patrons of
the theatre will always be assured of
their moneys worth. Popular prices
of 15c and 25c will prevail. AS we
have previously stated, we believe
this theatre will be good thing for
the town and we are glad that it is
to be conducted under such capable
and conscientious management as
Brown e. Mclaughlin will give to it..

SWEET MEMORIES OF MOTHER

| am thinking today of you, Mother dear,
And the scenes by the old fireside;
And the depths of devotion expressed in your eyes
AS sat there at even-tide
And you told the story of Christ and His love-
As only mother can tell,
And you sang in accents the songs dear to you
Of the Savior you loved so we'll
Now in fancy feel the soft touch of those hands,
AS gently they pilowed my head,
And methnks / hear that sweet voice again
And those words tenderly sads
"God bless you, my boy, and keep you from harm
And sweet be thy rest and thy sleep.
There's nothing to fear, while Jesus is near,
And Angels their lone virgil keep"
All Mother, those mem'ries treasure each day,
AS life's ocean | glide,
How they gladden. my heart and cheer along,
When oft in their refuge hide
How sad was the morn when looked that form
So silent and still Gas at rest)
And those toll worn hands from set free
Lay motionless over thy breast.
But oh! Mother dear, how love to think
OF the vision that came to your view;
Though your eyes dm'd the heavenly light
Illumined the pathway for you.
AS Heav'ns portals opened to welcome you in
And the Father had hidden you come,
And the sweet song of Angels that fell on your
AS they came to carry you home.
But Mother I'm coming to meet you again
For know that His promise is true
And love my dear Savior you lov'd Him then
And | know He will bring to you.
Alex. Richardson.
