i t W a s a Day of Re jo i c in~ for the C h r i s t C h a r c h People.

/ T h e dedication of the Church of ,L~hrist, three miles south of the city last Sunday, was a spler~did success. The day was del ight ful and many people a t tended the th ree services which were held. Betwden th ree and f a u r h u n d r e d dollars were raised for the l iquidation of the debt resting on the building. S p e r e t a r y Munro, the principal speaker, is a host in himself and his sermons wei'e highly appre- ciated. Bevs. Brown. of Yale, and Kean, of Gilford, gave in teres t ing talks on church duty. The occasion was greatly enlivened by a qua r t e t of singers frnm Pigeon. The people ap- preciated their efforts and tendered them a rising vote Of timnks. Home ta len t also executed tine music and everybody was joyi'ul in the service of Gee. The pas~or, Rev. Mr. Bart let t , extends hearty thanks to all who helped to make the dedication a success.

AR[ flOOD ~[iflllBors. The neighbors of Mrs. Minnie I ler-

rington in Novesta township, who recently lost lmr house and contents by fire, have shown commendable zeal in securing funds for the rebuild- ing of the dwelling. T i l e pas~ week several of the neighbors came to Cass City to purchase lumber and Mr. Mc- Cracken informed the Chronicle t h a t the building would be erected and en- closed by Saturday night. There is a small cash contr ibut ion at this office for the above building fund. The building commit tee will please call for it.

Prosecutor Wixson sent word here on Tuesday t h a t the charge against young Vau~hn and Betzin~ had been changed from robbery to "receiving stolen goods." The hear ing will be held here on Tuesday, Nov. 17.

The Firs t Charge of M. E. C h u r c h ~ the Building of Parsonage and

Building of Church Edifice.

The first preaching in the town of Elkland was by a c lergyman of the Methodis t church, gev. Mr. Baker, at the house of Andrew Walmsley as s ta ted in last week's Cl~ronicle, Shortly after this a class was organ- ized at, Mr. Walmsley's lmuse by I~ev. Mr. Greenlow. The exact nmnber is not known, but probably there were seven or e ight members. Services were continued, usually once in two weeks, unt i l the t ime of the r e g u l a r organization of a church.

A t a quarter ly conference nf Wat- rousville circuit, held at Centervi l le in January, 1869, the fol lowing.persons were elected as t rustees of the Metho- dist Episcopal church of Cass City: Andrew Walmsley, Hugh Seed, Jacob Schenck, Alonzo Dewit t , John C. Laing, to be known and called ~'The Trustees 6f the F i rs t Mcthodisl~ Episcopal Church of Cass City." This was the legal organization and incor- porati0n of the church at Cass City made necessary by the laws of the state.

The Cass City circuit was, to use the language of Rev. 3If. Withey, "born at the four teen th session of the De- t ro i t conference held a t Det ro i t Sep- t ember 1 to 8, 1869." Rev. J. E. Withey was the first appointed preach- er in charge. The circuit was duly organized with appoin tments a t Cass City, El l ington and Almer on one Sabbath, "and at Gagetown, Bird's and Cass City on another, with week n igh t meet ings a t Columbia. B~ngham's and Novesta, A Sunday school and Thurs- day evening prayeromeeting were a t once s tar ted at Cass City. The society having been presented by Brother Hugh Seed veith two lots, a parsonage was built, into which the pastor 's family moved in January 1870.

Services were lmld in the school house, but witn a view to securing a pe rmaden t home. At the first Quar- terly Conference, held at Cass City, Oct. 25, 1879, tlm subject of a church- building was calfea up by tlm pastor, and, after discussion A. Walmsley, J% Schenck, and L. A. DeWi t t were ~lected a building commit tee . The next year the building was erected.

The laying of tl~e corner stone was an interes t ing even t in tim history of Cass (~ity, and was described as fo r • lows: As the 0eoole assembled, tile I. O. O. ~., led byt l le Cass City corn6t band, marched from their hall and took seats in regular order to assist in the ceremonies. The audience was called to order t)y the pastor, Rev. 11. Palmer. Mu%ic was discom'sed by the band. The opening services (;f the ritual were read by Rev. I. J. B. Mc- Kenney of Ell ington, who preached the l r s t sermon ever delivered in Cass City. Prayer was offered by Rev. G. H. Field of Care, and af ter a reading of the Scripture lessons by the pastor, key . O. J. Perr in of Monroe, (a few years ago presiding elder of Saginaw district), was introduced and delivered an in teres t ing address. As he closed he gave opportuni ty for any to add the i r names to the subscription list before it, wi th o ther things, was de- posited in the stone, or, as he s~id, to become *'charter members of the concern, and $205 was added to the subscription fund, a l though i t was not the in ten t ion to try to raise money on this occasion. The corner stone, bearing the legend. "M. E. Church, 1880," was from Parke 's yard in Care and was put in position by Mr. Deming, the builder, and the con- t(mts of the box were deposited by Mr. Perrin. These consisted of t he county papers, Citizen, Pioneer and the Advert iser , Bible, hymnal, disci- pline, copy of subscription list~, names of t rustees and building commit tee , history of the village by Rober t Ten- nant , names of scholars a t t end ing school, names of the band, copy of Grange and Good Templars ' record, including Cass City and Elkland lodges. The Odd Fellows then assist- ed wi th the beautiful ceremonies of the i r order and made a depos i tn f a record of their encampment , a f te r which the audience, after a prayer, were dismissed with the benedic t ion ."

covered and Buried in Cumber.

While insane, Mrs. Geu. Hil ler of Ctlmber left her home, one mile east of town, on Oct. 7th, and walked to Tyre and was seen by some men from this place who were unloading hgy, to board the nor th bound train from tha t place. I t is not yet known whe the r she came beckon the four o'ck)ck t rain and went to Pt.~Huron and across to Sarnia or whether she went around by Saginaw and back to Pt. ~luron and then to Sarnia. She reached Sarnia between t h e 7 t h a n d 9th of October and gave her name as Maude Hubble. She said she was from the London asylum and tha t she was looking for work. The police of t ha t place telegraphed to London and found t h a t there was no one missing from the asylum tlmre. When last seen she was on ~he s t ree t which leads to the river St,. Clair. When she reached tim river she tied a s tone to her neck '~nd pub some in her clothes and jumped into the river and drown- ed. She was found by an Indign who saw her clothes lloating in the water. The body was taken to the undertak- ing rooms and kept there fifty-four hours and advertised, bu t as no one identif ied it, i t wassen t to the ant- vestry at Toronto.

While Montague, the Ers twhi le Boss of the Town, has Fallen in Dis-

grace and is Despised .

Last week t h e Huron County Press Club and a few editors of this and Sanllac county enjoyed the hospitali ty of 0aro's newspaper fraternity. The purpose of the ga ther ing was to or- ganize a Tri-County Press association, but,on account of the slim a t tendance of the publishers from Tuscola and Sanilac counties, a n d one Or more o the r reasons the ma t t e r was post- poned. Those who were in a t tend- ance had a very enjoyable time. The Slocmn brothers are very elaborate en te r ta iners and did all in their power to make it Pleasant for the visi t ing bre th ren and sisters. The social functions consisted in a public reception given, by Caro's business men: a t the Hotel Montague, a ban- que~ a t t he new Presbyter ian Church, especially provided by the Ancien t Order of Gleaners, and seeing the sights of the hur t l ing l i t t le city. Tile two tactories, namely, the sugar and shoe4actories, wi th which our readers are familiar, were among the places visited. Care has made wonderful strides t h e last few years, and is no~t one (~f the best towns in the state. The wri ter became acquainted with the place when the railroad was built. I t was then, and for many years thereaf ter , known as Montague 's town. In those days Charlie Monta- Rue was the moving spiri t in all en- terprises, and there is no question but w h a t his push and scheming had much to do with Caro's advancement . In the early eight ies Montague's name wasa power which he retained for many years. Today his name is hated and scorned for the simple reason tha t he abused his opportun- ities, Twenty years ago the people of Care were wi th him, while today they hate him, and there are those of his former friends who would inflict physical tor ture upon him if they could. Dur ing our recent visit ab Care we heard no th ing but b i t ter words against him. Truly it is a sad spectacle to see a man w i t F Monta- gue's abil i t ies and manifold oppor- tun i t ies for doing good, once respect- i~d and even feared, down in the mire of contempt , pointed out to strangers as a fallen god, shunned and hated by his f o r m e r friends and cursed by those whose money hd has squandered.

A Scarce Article . T h e S c a r c i t y of t h e Bi rd M a k e s P r i c e s H i g h .

People who have a failing for turkey are likely to pay dearly this fall for' their favorite bird, according to the s t a t emen t s i6 f poultry dealers. Even at the present there is less seen of tlle Thanksgiv ing fowl than usual at this t ime of the year and the price like- wise is out of the ordinary. The farmers, if they have any turkeys, are holding them till the price advances s t i l lh igher , or else are sav ing ,them for lmme consumption. At any rate there is a scarcity of tim great bird whose memories have been so long associated wi th those of the Thanks- giving Day dinner, and even though the price is well up in the scale now, it promises to go still higher. The turkeys t h a t have been brought into marke t and they have been few, seem to have been up to the standard and are all the more disirable on account of the increase in price.

There are a number of reasons given for tile shortage in the crop of turkeys. Dealers s ta te tha t the rainy weather in the early par t of the past two seasons has had something to do with i t a s t h e young birds are not hardy and cannot s tand ttle exposure of in- c lement weather. Anotl~er reason as- signed in t h a t farmers have been to() busy to devote thei r t ime to the rais- ing of the fowl. As it looks now the Chronicle force will have to be satis- fied with a Thanksgiv ing rooster.

Every Ef for t /qade to Win Him Over to Cuban Reciprocity But All

is In Vain.

Congr(ss convened last Monday and if newspaper reports are at all reli- able, the quest ion of a 20 per cent re- duct ion of tile tariff on Cuban sugar is kicking up a lot of dust ' Our con- grcssman, J . W . Fordney, is fighting the bat t le of his life against the, pro- posed reduction. Mr. Fordney is con- sistent . He stands today where he stood at the beginning of the fight, when foreign compet i t ion first knock- ed a t our gates asking for admission. :Not only is he consis tent but truly loyal to the sugar beet interests of Michigan. Wha teve r tim a t t i t ude of his colleagues in congress may be, Mr. Fordney will s tand by his guns to the last ditch. I t is to be regre t ted t lmt the Michi/~an delegat ion is not a uni t on the beet sugar question. Several haye experienced a change of mind since congress last met. ~ I t appears thab Presidenff Roosevelt is making every effort to line up the en t i re dele- gation for ~he Cuban treaty. A din- patch from Washington says:

"Pres iden t Roosevelt iias sent for several members of the Michigan del- gat ion t o c o m e to the White Ih,use for a conference on the Cuban reel-

procity treaty. Reps. Fordney, Win. Alden Smi th and Hami l ton were so honored.

The quest ion of support ing ttm president on the t reaty will probably spli t the delegat ion unless a resolu- lut ion to vote as a solid delegat ion comes before them, in which case the beet sugar men would be in the mi- nori ty by one vote and would e i ther have to vote 'for the t rea ty or bolt the delegat ion 's decision.

The fight is also likely to give the delegat ion a new chairman. Win. Alden Smith has resigned, but the action is regarded as merely pro forms and unless the t rea ty fight becomes particularly hot he s tands a good show of being re-elected.

Besides the Mmhigan beet sugar men who may line up against the t reaty are representa t ives from Lou- isiana, western beet sugar s ta tes and the California cirrus in teres ts . "

Whatever the uutcome of the pres- en t fight may be, the people of Mich- igan and especially those of t, he 8th congressional district , may rest as- sured tha t our congressman, J . W . Fordney, will be t rue to his t r u s t ~ first, last and all the time.

The following in te res t ing story comes from Pigeon: "Some ,230 years ago Simon Wilfong, a newcomer here from Canada, marr ied a handsome young woman living near Bay Port. r~ I h e young couple set t led down ou a l i t t le farm near here, and for three years every th ing ran smoothlyi Then one morning the wife was missing, and noth ing could be learned as to her whereabouts. For seven years Simon tilled his l i t t lh farm, and never heard of his ranaway wife. Then he made up his mind t h a t she was dead, and lm married again. This was 20 years ago; and in t ime his first wife completely passed out of Simon's memory. Last Saturday evening there was a knock at the door of t.he Wilfong house and a woman a0plied for admission. When she entered she announced to Wilfong tha t she was his long-missing wife, and had come back to stay. Like him she had married again, and her present name, she said, was Frost, and she has been llving in Midland.

Long years ago in England lived a king whose name was Uther. Once he was taken real sick and died. But before he died he kept moaning and groaning because he had no one whom he migl~t leave heir to the throne. The n ight af ter King Uther died a l i t t le son was born and his wife named it Xrthur . Merlin the wizard who was king Uther ' s took l i t t le Ar thu r to one of his neighbors. The neigh- bor woman was very kind to him and brougllt him up to be a lovely young Prince. When he was of age Merlin the wizard took him into court and said the young man lwill be your king and he shall rule over the kingdom. The people thought i t all r ight for a t ime ,but af ter a while the people began to fight against him. They

passed the palace A r t h u r saw a beautiful :Princess. Her name was Guinevere. He loved her from the very m o m e n t he saw her. She did no t notice him for he was dressed as plainly as any of his kn ights and had nothing on him to show tllat he was the king. During the fight his mind was not o n Leodogran but on the beaut iful Princess Guinevere. He t h o u g h t if he could only have her for his wife how happy he would be. He though t he could never be happy living wi thout her. Af te r he had re turned to trig own palace he sent th ree of his most t rus ted kn igh t s to ask Leodogran for his daugh te r When they "got "to Cameliard they went into King Leodogran 's palace.

All the days of His so journ upon ea r th He lived in the consciousness of His Fa- thefts goodness and mercy, saying, "The F a t h e r sen t M:e, and I live by the Fa- ther ; I do a lways those th ings tha t please H i m " (John vi, 57; viii, 29).

" I Ie shall feed His flock like a shepherd , " and He says, "Ye, my flock, the ilock of my pastm%, are men, altd I am your God" (Isa. xl. 11; Ezek. xxxiv, 14, 31).

Jesus is the i l l tvrpreter of life. t i e holds the secret of the llfe wh ich Is as well as the llfe wh ich is to come. We don ' t know how to live, and we will go on b lunder ing ' and wear ing ourselves out ,unt i l we take trim as our exemI)hlr. The fever of life is tile resul t of our expe r imen t w i th the th ings t ha t ought to make for our ' i lapphmss. Somehow we cannot get the r igh t proport ion; and Instead of receiving joy and peace and a hlrger life f rom our use of the mix- ture we find ourse lves w e a k and fever- lsh and sick at hear t . Let us go to hhn and take his l ifeofor our example . Let us note w h a t th ings he coun ted pre- clous and w h a t th ings he rejected as h a r m f u l to the soul. Let us accept h lm as the way and the t r u th and the life, and he will en te r tile room in whlch we are now lyln K sick of tile fever of life. and he will take us by the hand and lift us up an(~ ~E?. us wl th new life for s e r v i c e t o his glory &rid sa lva t ion of our fellow men. - -Rev.

Whi le His sheep can never perish (John x. 28, 29), t hey may w a n d e r a w a y f rom t i t s k ind care and need to be sough t ou t and res tored (Ezek. xxxlv, 12), so Dav id p r a y e d "Res tore unto me the Joy of T h y sa lva t ion" (Ps.

Whi le the psahn refers p r imar i ly to Chris t , its secondary re fe rence is prob- ably to Israel Ill mi l lennia l days, and ye t each bel iever may find a por- tion.

Even now the believer has only to ecru o mi t his cause to God, and in due t ime his enemies shall see tha t a supernat - ural power has eared for him and de- l ivered hlm.
