" T h e Ot te rbe in Male Qua r t e t t e is one of the best and most satisfactory musical organizations t h a t has ever visited the Lex ing ton Chautauqua, and Lexington has always had none bu t t he best. From t,heir opening song they became populaa and t h a t popularity increased as the season ad- vanced. Each member of the quar- t e t t e is a musician and possessed of an excel lent voice and their voices blend with a remarkable harmony. The Ot te rbe in Qua r t e t t e has learned the secret, of how to please an audience and always give evidence of having learned this lesson well. They are worthy of any pla t form.

This is the th i rd year of the i r pro- fessional work .in concer ts and the past season has been one of cont inued and ever increasing ~ success. They have risen rapidly to a place among the finest musical organizat ions in ~he country.

T h e grea ter number of the residents of Cass Citg will recognize in the accompanying picture the fa~e of one of its honored and respected citizens. :It is none o ther than Ellio~t Metcalf, who has been a resident of tails com- m u n i t y for many years. A shor t sketch of l~is pas~ life will doubtless prove in t e re s t ing to his many friends. He was born at Delta, Oneida County, New York, on OCtober 21st, 1813, where he spent the iirs3 sixteen years of l~is ]ire. He learned the cooper's trade whi(.h occupation he pursued during ~he earl ier years of his manhood, tle moved to Mallorytown, Ontario, and ~here he married Miss Lor inda Mallory, wire died in Cass C~t.y in 1892, at the age of seven ty- th rceyears . The i r children, Myra (Mrs. M. A. Metcalf of th is place) and Mary A. (deceased) were born in Ontario. In tim year 1852 Mr. Metcalf re turned to his nat ive town in New York where he remained unt i l the beginning of the Civil War. I]e was an old classmate or Govern(n' qeymour, of New York, a~ whose inst igat ion he engaged in recrui t ing service in the n o r t h e r n part of t h a t s ta te 0efore enl is t ing himself. While in Uncle Sam's service lm was a member of Battery H, 3rd N. Y. Arti l lery. After the close of the war im went to Taberg. in nort lmrn York s ta te where he engaged in the hotel business. He afterward removed to Rome in tim same s ta te and it was at, t h a t place t h a t h0 invented and patented tim Venet ian inside blind. In 1873 he m e t a severe loss in the total des t ruct ion by lire of the large es tab l i shment which he had buil t for the manufac ture of these. bl[hds. Wi th his family he came to Micl~igan in 1876, h)cating ar~ Port t luron, where he engaged in business for six years, when he came to Cass City, where he has since resided. He now resides with his daugl~t;er, Mrs. M. A. MetcMf, on south Seegar Street,, and al though unable to take much part in act ive affairs, he still re ta ins i~is menta l act ivi t ies and the lmme is hallow- ed by the cheery presence of father. The Chr(micle joins with his many :friends in wishing t h a t his r ema in ingyea r s be pleasant and tilled with tl~e c o n t e n t m e n t of a life wel l spent,.

CENTENARIAN AT MEMPIllS DEAD, The following i t em regarding the

d e a t h of Win. Gifford is taken from ~i~e Memphis Bee. T h e deceased Mr. Gifford was an uncle ot the late II. B. .Burr of Wickware:

" W i l l i a m Gifford, t he oldest man in ~t. Clair county and as far as known ~n the s ta te of Michigan, died at, t im 1mine of his daught,er, :Mrs. t l . Guer- hey, last Saturday af ternoon. He lived to the remarkable age of 105 :years, 2 months and 20 days, and unti l a few Weeks ago was able Ix) ge t out of doors. The last ~ime he lef t the house was in October w h e n F r a n k Church took h im for n. ride in his automobile . This ride pleased Mr. Cifford very much and no doubt brougl~t, to his mind ~he changes t h a t have been made in conveyances since he was a boy; railroads were unknown for many years and all the modern in- ventions, such as t he te legraph and te lephone, e lectr ic light, etc., lmve come into use since l~e was a middle aged man.

About for ty years ago he came to Memphis and since tl~a~ t ime i~as made his home in this village. Dur: ing the past few y e a r ' o f his life he was very deaf and could hear' but l i t t le , but unt i l a shor t t ime ago his eyesight was very good, having had his s ight renewed and a t the age or 100 years he could read common pr int without, t he kid of glasses. He was a grea t reader and spen t much of his t ime reading t he bible, the book which i n t e r e s t e d h im most. He was firm in his devot ion to God and his g rea t and glorious work on the earth, and m a i n t a i n e d his fa i thfulness and seemed to grow in grace and in the b r igh t hope of a peace wi th the saved :in tile k ingdom of God. He died at 1:30 p. m. on Saturday, December 12, passing away to peaceful sleep and res~ till t he glorious lesurrcct ion morning . ~te leaves live clnldren, twenty-seven grandchi ldren , many grea t g randch i ld ren and one great g rea t g r a n d c h i l d . "

Rev. M. W. Gifford of th is place was in te rv iewed as to l~is ~:elationship to ~he deceased, and said:

Concerning our re la t ionship wi th the centenar ian , Win. Gifford, recent- ly deceased a t Mempl~is, Mich. , 1 (:an not speak definitely; but, as l~e comes from Massachusetts, ia which s ta te m y grandfa t l le r was born, and from ~ome of the family namc~ which are pecul iar to his family and ours, and from ~lm s t r ik ing resemblance wl~ich l~is photograpil bears I~oour family and ~he family features, I h~ve n o doub t he is a cousin or second cousin ,of my father. ~Tne resemblance of his photograph to an uncle o f mine, who is now about, 89, iS suiliciently s tr ik- Ing to be tal~en for nis own picture, or 1or a b ro the r o f his. The fact, also *,l~at the 'Bradford ' name is found among his ci~ildren, as among our own relatives, is ~ f a r the r evidence tha t t h e y are of one common stock, and are .connected as was our ancestors with ~ov. Bradford of Massachusetts . His ffamily his tory is also t raced back to the Engl ish branch ()f the old country .Gill' ~rds, which corresponds with t,he ' t radi t ion of the origin of our family i n America, As ti~ere are Englisih ;Scotch, I r i sh and F rench Giffords, ~ i t would indicate t h a t t im two families ~ r e o f one origin in M:assachusetts. Both families are traced back to t h e ,days not far f rom the coming of the Maytlower, thougl~ I believe the name :is not found amoog the names of the :passengers of that, c r a f t . "

Register or ~eeds Gurney has re- curded over two hundred coal leases of land in Akron and Wisher townships in favor of Handy Bros. and Edgar B. Foss of Bay City, who are working in opposition, each endeavoring to see who can secure the most acreage. Handy Bros. are experienced e~ml miners, having owned tim mines west of Bay Cipy, which tlley so lda couple of months ago to the Saginaw Coal Co., and are now looking for new fields to conquer. They will probably sink a shaft and begin active opm:ations in tlm early spr ing .~Tuscola County Ad- vertiser.

[NEOURAfiiNfi FOR fiLfAN[RS. Tim members of the Gleaner organ-

iza t ionwi l l no doubt be interested in the f(dlowing i tem taken from the Detrol t Free Press. Tim' bi-ennial meet ing of the Gleaners has been in session at Lansing this week and Solo- mon Strifller, has been in a t tendance as representatAve of tam local Gleaner lodge.

• 'The membership has grown fronl 670 in 1894, to over 40,000 today, and tills membership is divided intn arbors which number about 750, and are scattered thickly through the rural distr icts (ff the st.ate, and ~f this number over 200 have built~ halls

Owned by ttmm and used as places of meeting, the mos~ of tt~e (,ther 550 a rbors holding t, heir meet ings in the country seh(~ol houses. The liead- quarters of the Gleaners Ires been located at, Card since its m'ganization The order has ent irely outgrown its quarters a n d s newh~catiou will soon be considered, and when this is de: cided the (~rder will build a handsome new building for its own use. I t is qui tc probable t ha t when this is done tha t the headquarters will be changed in order to get bet, ter railroad facili- ties, there being but one line, a branch running into CarD, and Lansing has been looked upon favorably as a per- manen~ home for the order. Two reasons advanced in favor of Lansing is°that it, is well located, being the capital city, and anotlmr the order publisl~es an agricultural paper as its official organ, and mucb valuable in- formation can be secured for the readers from tim experimental work d o n e a L t h e Agricultural College, and it is believed tha t tim headquar ters of so large a farmers' organization would be located bet ter near the college."

TO ALL rOt[ST[aS. All members of C o u r t E l k l a n d and

Court Davenport, are requested ~o turn oug next Monday evening for a free oyster supper, he , inning at, live o'clock to be followed by a joint in- stalhtt ion of officers beginning at seven ()clock slmrp. Deputy Byron E. Hall of Detroi t will trove charge of the installation.

I consider Wino of 0ardui superior ~o any doetor's medicine I over nsed and I know whoreof I speak. I suf- fered for nine months wit~ suppressed monstruation which completoly pros- trated too, Pains wouldshoot through my back and sides and I would havo blinding headaches, l~ly limb~ would 8well up and I woul4 feel so woak I could not stand up. I naturally felt discouraged for Z seemed to be beyon4 the help of physicians, but Wine of 0ardui camo as ~ God-send to me. I felt a change for tho bettor within week. After ninetoen daystr~atment I menstruated without suffering the agonies I usually did and soon beeamo regular and without pain. Win~ of Gardui is simply wonderful and I wish that all sufforing women know of lt~ good qualities.

could not sit up to have his bed made: With all the medical help we could get he continued to grow worse. I Ie could neither sleep or eat. Our baby girl was sent away, and all callers barred, be- cause he could not stand a bit of talk- ing.

If you can be convinced t h a t the Magic Washer beats all o the r methods of washing, read tilts carefully, tl~en try it, and you will see tlaat we have the most complete way of washing in the country. Convincing proof brings good results.

I t is c(mstructed exactly on the principle of a washboard. I t empl(,ys two sets 0f cor ruga ted rubbers made of hard w(}od, the t()p set gent ly rub- bing the clotlms over tl~e set in bob- tom of machine.

Actual tr ial will prove w i t h o u t a doubt t h a t the Maglc Washer will wash cleaner, wi th less injury to clothes, quicker and with more 'ease than any o ther me thod now in use. No ifs, no ands - - i t has no equal. I t is no Clothes Pudd le r or T h r e s h i n g Mach ine- - i t is a Washing Machine. I t will wash any ar t ic le tt~at, can be

"washed by hand; I t rubs the clothes on top and bottom, turns and presses them. I t washes Quilts, .Comforts and carpets.+ I t ;will wash ten di r ty mill shir ts in ten minutes .

No staves to dry out, no cogs or Castings to break, no oil to soil the clothes. Simplic i ty and Durab i l i t y m a k e ' i t the victor. No Washboard Needed when you have the +'Magic," Give it an impar t i a l trial; if i t don ' t please you no money is lost.

We will give T e n Dollars for an7 compet i tor who can beat it,; no .zna; cldne excepted, I t weighs but forty- live pounds.

The origin of the. sentiment. "Old wood to burn. old wine to drink, old friends to trust, old authors to read,'* ia somewhat obscured. Bacon found that Alonso of Aragon was wont to ~ay In commendation of age that age ap- peared to be best in these four things. John Webster (16381 went further i n declaring, "Old wine wholesomesL old pippins toothsom~t ," "and that "old wood• burns brightest, old linen washes whitest." Goldsmith in "She Stoop~ to Conquer" ~ay~. "Old fr iends , o14 timeu. old manners, old books, old wino." There are many variant quotatlon~.
