The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1881-10-28
WHOLE NO. 1888.

We clip the following extract from the
Fulton Republican, published at Canton, ILL.,,
which has reference to one of our former
young men of this place:
The gold medal awarded TO the winner of
the bicycle race at the Fair last week, con-
sisted of $40 gold piece, which has been
engraved by G. c. Vittum's Jeweler, Mr..
Charles Melchor, with the following legend:
First prize, one mile Bicycle race. Full
ton county Fair, Canton, Illinois, 1881. Time
4:05.'
The engraving has been done in a very
superior manner, Mr.. Melchor having ac-
complished the feat of leaving the milled
edge on the inside of the coin untouched,
and has done job of lettering of which he
may well be proud.
Chris Krchner was in Chicago last week
Friday with a car of hogs. During the after
noon he stepped into bank near the stock
yards and drew between S1,4OO and $500.
As he turned to go out he noticed man
standing near him and another outside.
Reaching his hotel he was surprised to have
these two men ask him for nickel each.
This amount he gave them, the thought then
coming to him that they were after his
money. He spoke to the landlord about il,
and that gentleman sent two policemen To
the depot with Chris, he to take the $40
train to New Buffalo. His two guardian ac-
quaintances also bought tickets FOR that
place, taking seats in the same car and near
him. The conductor had been notified by
the policeman, and upon Chris. finding they
We're upon the train he was taken in another
car and brought through TO Kalamazoo, thus
saving his money, for ii was no doubt the
intention of these fellows to rob him, either
when he went to sleep or when he left the
train. That was the heaviest sum Chris.
ever had, and the general opinion is he sweat

South Haeen Sentinel.
The South Haven Sentinel extracts squib
from the N0rtherner and spices TO it part
of another, then they read thus:
This importation we have from Ohio,
who is on the make by refusing teachers
certificates on regular examinations and
granting them one on a special examination,
had better resign his position. We have no
use for such in this couuty.-Norhoraer. 1t
is brave to own a newspaper and use it To
avenge personal grievances The public are
so much interested in such q controversy
in Observation-Disclosures"
The Sentinel means, no doubt to give the
N0theln6r a dose of its own medicine. But
inadvertently, the reader of the above ex-
tracts would infer that they both alluded TO
, the S0ne person or thing. This is rot the
proper inference however. The first extract
has reference, in all probability. to some inn
ported Buckeye oysters which the NOrthera-
er editor cannot digest, whereas the second
extract refers directly to Captain William
Edward Stewart, of the South Haven !Seuit-
ael.-AdedHce.
Thank you Mr.. Sec. of the county examin-
ing board for the comparison. You put it
much stronger than we dared to. We see
you thoroughly comprehend tie situation

AT half past seven o'clock on Tuesday

there, the marriage of Rev. Henry w. Harvey,
pastor of the Presbyterian church Of this
