THIS WILL ASTONISH
CLIO PEOPLE

The quick action of simple witch
hazel, camphor, hydrastis, etc., as
mixed in Lavoptik eye wash, will sur
prise Clio people. One girl with
weak, strained eyes was helped by a
single application. Her mother could
hardly sew or read because Of eye
pains. In one week she too was bene,
fitted. We guarantee a small bottle
Of Lavoptik to help ANY CASE weak,
strained or inflamed eyes. Alum

Mo Fences In China.

No great demand exists In China for
barbed wire. Chinese farm holdings
are very small, and no attempt is ever
made to divide them Off or separate
them from their neighbors' by any form
of fence. Boundary stones are all that
mark the dividing line between one
farm and another. and wire fence does
rfot at all fulfill the Chinese idea Of a
wall. to which they are most partial. In
respect to the grazing OF sheep and
cattle, this Is all done on hillsldes, and
vacant lands, and the flocks are
always under the care OF children and
old men and women, as in all eastern
countries.

FALLS FROM BOX CAR

Last Sunday, while playing on
some box cars standing on the p. M.
siding, in company with some other
boys, Sylvester Stout, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Stout, attempted to jump
from one car to another, missed his
footing and fell to the ground. 1t
was a long fall and that the lad es-
capped with sprained ankle and some
rather severe bruises, but no broken
bones, is little short of miraculous.
Sylvester has been unable to get out
of doors since the accident, but is
improving nicely and it is expected
will soon be as we'll as ever.

OBITUARY


The hearts of the people Of this
community have been filled with sor-
row during the past week because of
the sudden and untimely death of
Mrs. Roy Conlee, which occurred at
her farm home, one and one-half
miles west Of Clio, last week Friday,
January 6, 1922, following a few
days illness of pneumonia. Death is
always the precursor of sorrow and
tears, but when it comes to mother
in the midst of her family of chill
dren, interrupting forever the tender
and reciprocal current of love that
flows only from the maternal rela-
tionship, the icy hand of the unspar-
ing reaper seems to have been ex-
tended to perform its most cruel Of
flee. And yet, during all of the years
loving mother, summoned to the
farther shore while life was yet in its
prime, will be sweet and beneficent
influence in the hearts of husband
and children, inspiring them in all
that is good, flowing through their
lives with all the calm beauty symbol
ized in the silver stream as it winds
ows. Consolation for the bereaved
will also spring from the coincidence
pf friends and neighbors all of whom
will hold the departed in loving re-
membrance as devoted wife and
mother, a true and faithful friend
and a most worthy member of So
ciety. Anna Brown, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Allen r. Brown, was born
in the Township of Birch Run, Sagi-
nav County, Michigan, June 30,
1879, and at the time of her death
mad attained the age of az years, 6
months and days. She continued to
reside in the township where she was
born until she reached womanhood
and was there united in marriage to
Roy Conlee in August, 1900. Fol-
lowing marriage Mrs. Conlee had re-
sided in this vicinity practically all
of the time until her death and was
universally held in the highest es-
TEEN. She had been in delicate
health for a number of months, but
her illness developed into pneumonia
and assumed serious form only a
few days before she passed away.
The surviving members of her i'm
mediate family consist of her hus-
band and seven. children, the latter
being Sybil. Carroll, Mildred, Joyce,
Wayne, Hubert, and Billie, (the last
named being about five months of
age) all of whom reside at home.
There are also surviving two broth
ers, Bernard and Sidney Brown, both
Of 3irch Run, two sisters, Mrs. Carrie
Culper, of Detroit. and Mrs. Alice
Austin, of Cement City, and one half
sister, Mrs Edith Curry, of Lansing.
Funeral services, which were largely
attended, were held from the Method
ist Protestant Church on Sunday af-
ternoon, Rev. Joseph Dibley officiat-
ing. The remains were laid at rest
in Woodlawn cemetery.

OLD NEST" PICTURE
 OF BROADEST APPEAL

When "The Old Nest" comes to the White Grand theatre, on Thursday and Friday, the people of Conway will have a chance to see a picture that has been hailed by critics and review CTS as the most satisfying all-Amer- ican picture that has yet been pro duced. The theme, that of a mother who sees her six children leave her, one by one, is common to American families. All the poignancy of feel ing that these leave-takings arouse Tn real life have been caught on the screen.
 Rupert Hughes is the author of this unusual tale of mother love. He has sought to present a croSs-section of q universal theme as applied to an American family. All the joys and sorrows connected with raising fam fly have been dramatized. Each of the children grow to manhood or womanhood with his own individual interests, then leaves the old nest to follow the call of his desiies. Only their mother is left in her loneliness and her memories. But, as in every American family, the young remember the old nest and return to it.
 The picture was produced by Gold wyn, and was directed by Reginald Barker. Mary Alden plays the old mother, and her performance has been said to be masterpiece of screen acting.
 Thursdays matinee will be free to mothers 50 years or over
