Elvin Rowland, who is in the employ of
the w. U. Telegraph Company, constructing
new lines, spent last Sunday in town.
Our Mattawau and waverly correspond
ence was unavoidably crowded out this week,
by press of matter, as was Keeler and Law
renee.
The Presbyterian and Baptist congrega-
tions will unite at the Presbyterian church
on Sabbath evening. Rev. James Goodman
will preach.
p. b. Emery, Esq, has recently purchased
Sensation, Clydesdale stallion, from Powell
Bros. of Penn. Sensation will make the
season in Paw Paw and vicinity.
Mrs. j. X. Baker returned to Paw Paw on
Tuesday for the first time since she went
east last fall. She is staying with her sister
at Lawrence. Her health is improving.
That young man who came from a neigh
boring village, and endeavored to captivate
some of our young men by representing
himself as the future Mrs. Oscar Wilde, was
too utterly utter. Too many pills will some
times work you know.
On and after May 18th, freight train N o
20, due at Lawton at 1858 p. M, will carry
passengers between Kalamazoo and Niles.
This will make it very convenient for our
people who desire to visit the former place,
as they will be able to return the same day.
Myron Hoskins of this village has i'm
proved the appearance of his pleasant home
by treating his fences to a new coat of paint.
He has also done quite as much to beautify
his farm two miles east of town, by painting
mill.
On Thursday of last week there fell a
warm refreshing rain and vegetation looked
vigorous and green, on Friday the wind was
northerly and overcoats we're in demand, on
Saturday, May 9th, a cold drizzling rain all
day and some snow. Michigan can beat the
world on weather.
L. G. Reid late partner of Don. G. Hender-
son in the Allegan Journal, has commenced
the publication of another republican paper
at that place, called the Allegan Gazette,
which is the outgrowth of the late unpleas-
antness at the Journal Office. The paper is
an eight column folio, and presents very
neat appearance.
On Saturday night last horse, saddle and
bride were stolen from the barn of w. B.
Ward near Antwerp center. The horse was
recovered the following day by Deputy Sheriff
McCabe. He had evidently thrown his rider
and escaped from him, or was turned loose
by him after having been ridden to Glendale
or vicinity. The horse when found was near
Joseph Gilman's and had only the bride on.
That old tumble-down house on the corner
of Paw Paw and Niles Sts., owned by Mr..
Sheldon has for years been an eye sore to
the residents of that part of town. 1t is
such no longer. The building was sold to
j. w. Emery who proceeded to demolish it
in good style. The now vacant corner is
one of the finest building lots in town, and
we hope to see a good residence erected
thereon.
| Mr. IppU
known to our citizens, departed this life on
Monday last at the advanced age of SO
years. He died on his old homestead at the
residence of his son-in-law, Mr.. Silas A.
Smith. Mr. Rawson was a veteran of 1912,
and was noted for his strong convictions and
firm adherence to his opinions. He was
highly respected and leaves many warm
friends to mourn his death.
We would call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement in another column of
the Acme Creamer and Butter Cooler. 1t is
highly recommended by practical farmers
, and dairymen, who are using them and un-
derstand their merits. 1t is just what the
farmers of this locality should have, as it
will save labor, increases the quantity and
improves the quality of their butter. This
creamer is placed on exhibition at the store
of Free & Martin, by VIM. Thayer and g..
W. Hunt, who are the agents for this locality.
Butter makers, call and see it.
