The story goes that the inhabitants
of the city of Coventry, England, had,
at one time. so great an aversion to
soldiers that woman seen speaking
to one was at once tabooed. No In
tercourse whatever was allowed be-
tween the garrison and the town !;
hence when soldier was sent to Cow

kindlier sentiments of existence. Of
course, they are offering some genu-
inc merchandise bargains, but in the
main their effort will be to enter
tain their guests and make them feel
that they are appreciative of their
good will and patronage. 1t
will be a big get-together day
of business men and their pat
rons; a big old time social.
You are not only invited but urged
to come and we are sure that if you
do you will feel that you have par
ticipated in delightful affair. Read
the full page announcement of the
business men in another section of
this paper and then come early and

In New Zealand there is In use an
automatic device for telling railway
passengers the name of the next sta
tion. The names of the various sta
tions are printed on roll, which Is
rotated by toothed wheels. A "tripper"
is placed about on the track or by its
side, between each station, and this Is
80 adjusted as to strike a lever on the
passing car. The motion is communi-
Gated to the toothed wheels governing
the roll bearing the station names, and
the ringing OF an automatic bell an
nounces to the passengers the fact that
the name OF the next station is on
view.

OBITUARY


Edwards
VIM. j. Edwards, resident of Clio
for nearly twenty years past, died
at his home here Friday, June 2,
1922, following an illness of several
weeks duration. He was born at
Stratford, N. Y, December /, 1868,
coming to Saginaw, Michigan, with
his parents when eight weeks old.
The family resided in Saginaw for
several years, following which Mr..
Edwards moved to Frankenmuth,
where he remained two years, and
then to Millington where he lived for
many years and until he and his fam
lily moved to Clio in 1904. On Octo-
Der 13, 1881, Mr.. Edwards was unit
ed in marriage with Miss Minnie
Degeer, who survives him. Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwards were the parents of
six daughters, one of whom died in
infancy and another of whom, Mrs.
Henry Blackmar, passed away at her
home in Ypsilanti about two years
ago. The surviving children are
Mrs. VIM. E. Arnold of Birch Run,
Mrs. Fred Anderson of Clio, and
Mrs. Clyde E. Willard of Saginaw,
and Geraldine at home. The de-
ceased is also survived by his father,
Oren Edwards, and by one brother,
Arthur, both of Saginaw, and by fif-
teen grandchildren and one great
grandchild. Mr.. Edwards was a man
of much kindness of heart, with a
ready sympathy for all who were ill,
needy or in trouble. Funeral SER
vices were held from the home Mon
day afternoon, Rev. A. T. Camburn
officiating. The remains were TAX
en- to Millington for interment in the
family lot in the cemetery at that
place.

SOULLESS VANDALS

Complaints have been made again
regarding the taking of plants and
flowers from lots in the cemetery
This is a species of thievery so con-
temptible that it would be hard TO
characterize it and keep within the
proprieties. We do not expect to
scare the person who would do such
a thing, we could hope, perhaps. to
kindle a feeling of decency within
them, but we can say that the oftic-
ers of the cemetery association are
very indignant over the matter and
that if the culprit is caught he is like
ly to receive the limit of the penalty
which the law prescribes for such
vandalism.

BAND REHEARSAL MONDAY
EVENING

Members of the Clio Band are
asked asked to bear in mind that
next Monday evening-and everv
Monday evenings band practice
evening thereafter-is band practice
night. The band is certainly COM
ing fine and there is just one thing
that will make it finer and that is
practice. We are not saying this on
our own hook, the statement being
inspired by a member of the band
and one of the best musicians in the
city. When the band gets its new
outfit of uniforms and its repertoire
of music perfected, well, then therell
be some fun as well as some glory
in it. But next Monday night is band
practice, which is all that we started
out to say.

Bear Island.

Midway between Norway and Spltz-

known as Mount Misery, above the

for moss and lichens, is almost desti-

system that must have drained an
area larger than the present basin Of
the Volga.

Friends at the Palace.
K. D. Mcclellan, United States Sen
ator from Tennessee. was in Union
City Tuesday and spent several hours
mingling with friends and talking
democracy. On account of the union
revival at the G. P.Church, he did
not attempt to speak but early in
the evening he dismissed the small
crowd gathered at the court house
and invited them to attend the meet
ing at the church.
He spoke at Dyersburg Monday
and at Tiptonville Monday night. He
is in the field to remain until after
the November election.
In his regular speech he makes a
strong appeal for the election of Hon.
Austin Peay as Governor, and ex-
plains the necessity of having Gov
ernor of the same political complex
ion as the General Assembly. He says
that Peay is honest, fearless and
stands for what he thinks is right.
He wants to see an old time Demo-
cratic majority rolled up. He says
that the Republican party has dem
onstrated it's incompetency to run the
government and cites the many bad
party breaks during the past Is
months that Congress has been in
session. During that time only one
important bill has been passed, that
the tariff bill. He says that in spite
of this ubiquitous bill Congress has
given the President power to add
three million dollars more tax by
increased tariffs He commends Sen
ator Borah for being one broad
minded Republican, honest enough
to vote against such ridiculous bill.
He thinks Congress and the admins
tration have failed in their promise
to bring normally to-. the country;
they have failed to bring prosperity;
they have cut Us off from foreign
trade; they have destroyed our mer-
chant marine; they have failed in
the restoring of normally to the coal
mines and to the railroads.
