We were electioneering but we were not,
Those blue coat chaps, at Kalamazoo. now

Village"
Mrs. Zebulon Flanders, mother of our city
marshal, celebrated her S0th birthday last
Saturday. We have concluded not to cele-
brate ours for 40 years vet.
The highway leading east from the city is
one of the best in the country. Those corn
fed chaps up that way know how to keep
good road. Don't they Asa?
Sylvester Talmadge Conway, an ex-Tycoon
of this paper, now leading hardware mer-
chant at Lawrence, has the job of putting
the metal roof on the Dyckman House barn.
Notwithstanding you may have registered
four hundred times, the Michigan Dads
passed law, at their last session, that you
cannot vote unless you register anew this

Alfred Myers, of Decatur, 10Th Mich. nifty,
Samuel H. Maxam. of Lawton, I'd Mich. Cav,
and John Buck, of Waverly, 101st Ohio
nifty, were all made happy with pensions
last week. C. E. Galligan was their attorney.
Henry F. Severens, of Kalamazoo, lead
ing lawyer of this State, is not what would
be called a non-producer, any longer This
season he got down on his marrow bones,
and raised over 5000 bushels of onions.
How is that for q lawyer?
Jim Leech and his gang of painters have
just finished painting the Nj. E. Church, and
are now at work on the Catholic church.
Jim is a good workman, and his religion
never allows him to slight job, no matter
if it does not tally with his religious views.
We have written up several fine horses of
this county, and we now find another that is
rapidly coming to the front as flyer, and
that is Lady Night Hawk, fine looking five
year-old sorrel mare owned by Decatur
Downing of Almena. The Lady was sired
by old Night Hawk. and with scarcely any

is cool, level headed, clean open gait, with
a power of endurance that is seldom excelled
and. with little more work, will soon be
able TO strike low in the twenties with perfect
ease.
A number of our young bloods attended Q
dance in Waverly, one night last week, and
of course, took with them several bottles OF
"Ague Astonisher" etc. The next morning
when they returned, several eyes were dressed

moralized, and the entire crowd was bedaub

The Press and Courier man says that on
Fat Justice has got to be Burrows Republi

serpent and as harmless as Sotled dove, n

that the Fat Justice las he calls HIM ha
been Burrows Republican, for several years
and we know of no law TO prevent 1t. W
also know that this is a world of progression
Were it not so, railroads, telegraphs, an
, electric lights would not be known to-day
, and we see no good reason why he, (the ia
= Justice) should not progress with the rest c
, the world, if he sees fit so to do.
