FARM HOUSE BURNS

The large farm home of Harry
West, northwest of Clio, was wholly
destroyed by fire SATURDAY. afternoon
last. Only Mrs. West and one daugh-
ter were at home when the fire orig
mated. Mrs. West heard a peculiar
noise in the house and on going up
stairs to investigate opened one of
the bedroom doors when the flames
rushed out into her face. She picked
up a few articles belonging to the
children and these together with
some pictures and few other arti-
cles were all that could be saved.
While the alarm was promptly given
nothing could be done to stay the
progress of the fire, the origin of
which is a mystery. The house was
one of the best farm homes in the
county and the loss is estimated at
$4,000. We understand that in
surance amounting to $4,000 was car
ried on the property.

MATRIMONIAL
Fuller-Stuber


Two well known and popular
evening when Miss Nina Fuller,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Full
Ter, became the bride of David Stu
ber, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Stuber.
The ceremony was private and was
performed by Rev. George Barnes,
pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Flint, at his residence in that city.
Following the ceremony the newly
weds went to Saginaw where they
made short visit with friends after
which they came to the residence of
the brides parents, where they may
reside temporarily. The bride is a
charming young lady who grew up in
this vicinity and who has for some
time past been a popular and oblig-
ing operator in the telephone ex-
change. The groom is also a popular
young man who for number of
years has held responsible position
in one of the auto factories at Flint.
A host of friends will hope that these
young people may be abundantly
blessed with health, happiness and
prosperity. On Monday evening, af-
ter their arrival in Clio, Mr.. and Mrs.
Stuber received an impromptu call
from about twenty-five enthusiastic
friends, who fired off fusilade from
shot guns and had a general good
time. They unceremoniously took
possession of the house and after re-
freshments had been served extended
congratulations and best wishes and
took their departure.

TRAPPED IN A SILO

Many of our readers have known,
undoubtedly, Of the Towers of Sill
ence, of India, those great circular
buildings where the silence that at
tends the dead is never broken, save
for the hoarse calls Of the ravens that
sit brooding upon the walls. We
mention these things merely to call
attention to the difference between
those towers and the towers of Thet-
ford wherein ensilage is stored.
These latter towers, according to all
accounts, are not towers of silence,
though there is considerable ravin'
around in 'em. According to the
story that has been brought to The
Messenger, our friend Henry Benja-
min, occupied the upper section of
silo for some little time, recently,
very much against his inclination. 1t
appears that he had been throwing
some waste down the chute of the silo,
which also supplies the only means
of getting into and out of the place,
and when he desired to descend he
found the passage completely and
firmly closed. 1t is said that some
consoling influences are to be found
in the bottom of silo, but in the
top it is different, and so Henry, af-
ter some effort, made his way to the
roof, pushed aside the covering and
lifted up his voice, like muezzin of
old Constantinople, calling the faith
full to prayers. Mrs. Benjamin heard
that plaintive cry and at length came
to the spot where her imprisoned
spouse was holding forth like an auc-
tioneer on a busy afternoon and in
due time effected his release. The
neighbors claim that Mrs. B. is quite
used to this sort of thing, however, as
it is not so very long ago that she
was called upon to extract her con-
sort from tight quarters under the
house where he had gone after an
Objectionable cat. 1t begins to look
as though she will have to provide
herself with a wheelbarow, and when
she hears a call of distress, be ready
to reply "I'm coming ST." as did Sis
wife in the funny pictures, when
"Maud" would give him boost.

CENEsEE CHAPTER INSTITUTED

Vienna Chapter, No. 283, o. E. S.,
had very pleasant experience Tues
day evening when it's officers and
large number of it's members went to
Geneseeville and assisted in the insti-
tuition of new chapter of the order
at that place. The Masonic brothers
of Geneseeville have provided very
comfortable and attractive lodge
room, in which the meeting was held,
and which is soon, as we understand,
to be the home of new Masonic
lodge. Worthy Grand Patron Elwyn
Pond of Flint, represented the Grand
Chapter most efficiently in institut-
ing the new chapter, being ably and
gracefully assisted in the work of in
struction by Past Grand Electa, Mrs.
Elsie Stevenson, also of Flint. The
degree work was exemplified by vi
emma Chapter which was warmly COM
plimented thereon. Several MEM
bers Of the Flint chapters were also
present as guests and in all justice it
must be said that the members of
Genesee Chapter established splen-
did reputation for hospitality, fur
nishing a bountiful chicken pie din
ner, with numerous trimmings, to
which all did ample justice and paid
high tribute. The new chapter starts
off in the most promising way, hav-
ing thirty enthusiastic ladies and
gentlemen as charter members. Mrs.
Louise Drudge is Worthy Matron of
the new chapter and Chas. Drudge
Worthy Patron.

VIENNA GRANGE MEETING

Vienna Grange had an interesting
meeting at the hall in Clio, Wednes-
day evening. There were present as
speakers State Senator McNaughton.
of Grand Rapids, President Moore, of
the Grange Insurance Company and
Mr.. Cartwright, a prominent Granger
from the vicinity Of Grand Rapids.
All of these gentlemen talked in the
most interesting way of the value of
the Grange from an educational, fl
nancial and social point of view and
Of the valuable place it fills where it
is lively and aggressive and where
the young folks are prominent
in its work. 1t is the pur-
pose of Vienna Grange to make
an earnest campaign this win
ter for new members and to again
become an effectual organization.
We hope they may be wholly sue
cessful in this effort, as they have
put their hall in attractive condition
and for the further reason that we
value the Grange very highly as a
helpful influence in American citi.
Zenship.
