But sometimes good watches
misbehave themselves because
they ran't help it.
They often do not get the 'care
they should. Dirt accumulates
— the watch gets erratic. perhaps
stops altogether.
We can turn a watch like that
into a useful timepiece again for
very little .money.
We would take it apart—
cleat
t it thoroughly, put it
together, and hand it back
to you as good as new.
Repairs sent by mail will have
our earliest attention. We will
return it to you by mail postage
prepaid by us,

The following refers to a nephew
of Mr. Peter Cole, who was killed in
Fenton, Michigan, on Saturday, June
20th
One of the saddest accidents which
has ever occured in Fenton, was that
of last Saturday morning when El
more Cole, thirteen year old son of
Mr, and
Mrs, Geor a Cole was injured
and passed away in half an hour. l'he
accident occured so quickly that there
probably is no one who could tell ex
actly how it happened, but those re
siding in the immediate vicinity of the
corner by the Ten Cent Barn, where
the accident happened seem united in
the following: That Elmore was rid
ing his bicycle on the wide curbing ex
tending from Leroy s'reet, west
on Roberts street, that he was carry
Pug some strawberries in one hand and
was guiding his wheel with the other
hand and left the curbing to cross the
road, T'ust in time to have a collison
with Dr. A, G. Wright who, was coin
ing around the corner in his automo
Nile, The lad was busried to the home
by Dr, Wright and Dr. Gould sent for,
After reaching home, Elmore regain
ed consciousness and told his mother
not to worry. He passed away in just
is short time after this. Whether the
wheels of the, car passed over him is
not known, as the only marl: on his
body was one about three or four
inches square on his 'back. It is
thought that his death r'esditecl from
an internal rupture. Funeral services
conducted by Rev. Rebut Davies pas
for of. the Fenton Baptist church,
were held from the home Tuesday
morning, Mr, Davies did not preach
a sermon, but talked of Elmore' and
the good he had done, The message
which be brought to the grief stricken
family and sorrowing friends was of e
