j. w. Free, Esq, came home last Saturday
with the spreading horns of a monster buck
that he shot while he was up north. John
has long aspired to obtain such trophy,
and is much gratified at his success.
Michigan in the War" is now being de-
livered to soldiers who have applied for it.
Any Michigan soldier can obtain the book
by applying to Adjutant Gen. Robertson at
Lansing, at cost of 30 cents to pay express.
Capt. Smith has put fire proof shutters on
the rear of his store building, a very desirable
improvement. Every brick store in town
ought to receive the same treatment; it
would add greatly to the safety of the town.
G. H. Moser, Esq, who has been spending
a short time with his family and friends
started on his travels again, on Monday last.
He takes a western trip TO Chicago, Milwau-
kee, st. Paul, etc. He has ''ticket for

Last Monday was the first day of the
November term of our circuit court. Court
was opened by Judge Mills and adjourned
until Nov. 27th. Jurors will not be required
to be in attendance until Monday, Dec. 4th,
at o'clock a. IN.
Judge Hilton has specimens of the tickets
voted in Boston at the last election. They
are curiosities in the ticket line, being about
FIVE inches wide and foot long, ornamented
with fancy letters, scroll work pictures of
Old Ben Butler, etc.
We publish the county canvass complete
in another column, except that we give only
State ticket. The balance of the State officers
run about the same as Lieut.. Governor, ex-
cept that Cochran being on the prohibition
ticket is somewhat ahead.

wife of Prof. Eugene Bradt. Mrs. Bradt was
Paw Paw girl, educated here, and formerly
teacher in our Union School. She was
known to nearly all our citizens, and re-
spected and loved by all who knew her. The
sympathy of the entire community goes out
for the bereaved husband and parents of the
deceased. How often are we reminded that

sively in the east, and the columns of the
press of that section contain many illusions
to the troupe. Uncle Tom is one of the few

has made several additions to its member

acquaintance with Walter Scott. Still an
other association has been formed which i:

This club, as its name implies, is composed
of the teachers of the village, though we be

panied an excursion party, with the frs

of ladies' and gentlemen from Lawton, Paw
Paw, and Lawrence. The train left Paw
Paw about 3 o'clock p. M, stopped for hal
an hour at Lawrence and arrived at Hart

terminus of the road. The party returned
home well pleased with the trip arriving
at Paw Paw at half past seven o'clock. The
