The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1883-07-13

While calling on our patrons in business
way, we visited Dr. Hendrick, and found
him enjoying the fruits of large, lucrative,
thriving, and constantly increasing practice.
He has Monument of Honor" in another
column. Read it.
David Byrn formerly of this village, who
on account of i'll health has been for some
time past an inmate of the county house, has
left that institution and opened a shoe shop
in Hartford. We hope the old gentleman
may meet with success.
We inadvertently omitted to state last
week, that Mrs. L. l.. Warner and her
daughter Frank, had gone to Denver, Col,
with the hope that the daughters health
which had failed here, might be improved
by change of climate.
Our townsman Riley Bangs, who has been
confined to his house for 50 long time, has
so far improved il health as to be able 10
walk about town, with the aid of his crutches;I ]
He finds this to be quite a relief after his
long confinement within doors.
The annual reunion of the soldiers and
sailors of southwestern Michigan, will be
held at st. Joseph on the 22d, 23d, and oath
OF August, next. Col. Il. F. Heckert of this
village, has been appointed 10 a position as
aid on the staff OF commanding officer.
Carroll Il Co. will send up another balloon
on Saturday next at 3 p. M, with tin tag
attached. Whoever finds the tag and re-
turns it within ten days. will receive a three
dollar pair of shoes. The card attached to
the first one they sent up, was not found.
Much credit is due to G.. w. Longwell a.
Co., for the enterprise shown by them in
giving our citizens the magnificent display
OF fireworks and balloon ascensions on the
evening OF the 4th. Under the management
of FL. A. Rogers, Esq, the display was
great success.
The only casualties that occurred during
the sham battle at South Haven, happened
to two members OF Brodhead Post. Jared
Loveland who had powder blown n his face,
and John Ryan who had his coat partially
torn off. They got too close to the battery
during the charge.
Quite number of our citizens have i'm
proved the appearance of their places by re-
moving old, unsightly fences. A good many
others ought to go and do likewise. There
is no need of fences, and unless they are
neat and ornamental, they had better be dis
pensed with entirely.
Up at J. NJ. Browns they have q novel
center-piece for 3 flower garden. 1t is a
cluster OF blooming pond-hlies. cement
tank was constructed and soil from the lake
bottom procured and the lilies transplanted
therein. The beautiful flowers bloom there
as elegantly as IN their native waters.
Prof Jordan, the new associate editor of
the Courier, has rented house and removed
his family to this place. We extend 10 him
a cordial greeting, and wish him abundant
success, except in political way. Aside
from his politics, which we think are execra-
bic, we consider him a desirable acquisition
to our community.

Died, at the house os II. B. Wilson Of this
village, on the morning of the u of July,
Louisa S., infant daughter of Joseph and
Mary Failing, of Grand Rapids. The loved
one was taken TO Almena and buried, where
the friends of each of the parents reside.
The kindness of friends both in Paw Paw
and Almena will long be remembered.
We have examined the Peoples Cyclo-
pedia, published by J. G. Chiffon & Co., of
Detroit, Mich, and unhesitatingly pronounce
it very desirable book. 1t consists of three
large volumes, elegantly illustrated, and con-
tanning vast amount of information on al
most every conceivable subject. Mr. j. L.
Midgley is at present taking orders for the
work in our county.
Last Friday, Mr.. n. NJ. Garrett Of Jackson,
state agent for the original Pennock road
machine, was in town exhibiting one of his
machines. We saw the machine at work on
our streets, and it appeared to perform the
work in most excellent manner and to
completely fill the bill. For making per-
feet road, level and smoth, it is certainly far
ahead of any other implement we ever saw.
The machines are manufactured by s. Pen
mock & Sons, at Kennett, Pa, and Fort
Wayne, Ind.

months as train dispatcher for the A. L. IL
>. 4. II. w., ana move WIFI my IaiIllIy I'd
Las Vegas, N. NJ, to accept similar posi-
ton at a more remuneratiye salary. This is
eminently the home of the cowboy, the
Mexican, and last but not least the SMALL -pox,
of which the country is full, and to which
the Mexicans pay no attention, visiting the
patients and taking the family of children
with them. The disease is OF a mild form
and but few die with it. We are surrounded
by mountains and have a delightful climate,
and wear winter fannels the year around.
Trout, deer bear, and mountain lions abound.
On Saturday last, Willie Hysmes, a nephew
of Alison Hyames, a young man % years Of
age, recently from Sharon, Wis, met with a
sad accident. He was assisting in doing
some work on the barn of Alvin Coulscn in
Waverly, and fell from the scafola to the
barn floor, distance of % feet. His head
was badly cut, his breast bone and several
ribs broken, and be also received a severe
conclusion of the brain. DIR. Hilton attend
ed to his injuries and at the present writing
he seems to be doing as well as could be
expected.
