fully understand. Some will even own that
they do not know how to "keep hotel" But
there is one thing that everybody-except
editors-knows all about, and that is the bes.
way to run a newspaper.
Married, at the residence of Geo. A. Hunt,
on Wednesday, the 18th inst, by President
Durgin of Hillsdale college, Jennie b. Elliott
TO Rev. Samuel A. Schnell of Strongville,
Ohio. The couple left on the evening train
for their home in Tuscola county oid De-
troit, where they will remain few days.
Saturday evening last, Draper and Vande-
veer went through town with new "Agita-
tor" threshing machine purchased by them
at Racine, Wis.,, and shipped to Goble ptG
the lake. II is beauty, and j. B. says they
expect TO be able to thresh 1000 bushels Of
wheat per hour, and do good work.
The Messenger severely criticises Pros.
Atty. Chandler for his action in the LIQUOR
cases. If, as the Messenger says the attempt
cd prosecution down there was a farce put
up for the purpose of protecting instead Of
Furnishing transgressors, it is difficult to see
just where Mr.. Chandler was at fault
We acknowledge the receipt from our for
mer townsman, Geo. w. Matthews, of late
copy of the Sioux Falls Daily Press. We
observe an announcement therein that Mr..
M. has opened new book and music empo-
rium. The residents of that town will find
him to be man who thoroughly understands
his business, and an upright, square dealer
The second annual encampment of the
Van Buren, Co. Battalion, G. A. r., will be

an effort to be present. Posts and individ-
ual members outside the county, and all old
soldiers will be heartily welcomed.
The Sentinel denies the truth of the Mes
sengers thug and border ruffan" story and
intimates that it was inspired by too much
frewater. We don't know anything about
that, but we had a well defined impression
that the picture was overdrawn. If there
were any such fearful state of affairs in South
Haven, the public would probably have heard
more about it.
The Messenger says it is fact that the
saloon keepers of that village had the 'tacit
consent" of the village authorities to keep
open on the Fourth, and that the attempted
prosecutions at that place were farce, in
tended to protect instead of punish the vio-
lators of law. We had heard such was the
case but were in doubt as to the truth of the
report until we read the last Messenger.
The new arrangement in reference to the
mall changing the route from Lawton to
Hartford to a railroad route causes great
| dissatisfaction. Under the new order Of
things Paw Paw gets no mail from the east
during the afternoon as there is no train 10
bring it over from Lawton. A strenuous and
determined effort will be made TO remedy
this matter in some way, even if the route is
changed back to a star route. LATER-Since
the above'was in type a temporary arrange
ment has been made by which the p. II.
mail is received again, until some other way
may be devised.
! Messrs. Cole and Stone are putting in their
machinery for The new shirt factory. They
\ have their engine set up and in running or
der. They are setting up TO begin with six
teen Wheeler az Wilson machines, and ex-
pect TO commence operations the first of Au-
gust. Their machinery, including their en-
! CINE, is all on the second floor. The engine
is neat little affair of two horse power. Il
the business proves as successful as they ex-
pect they viii pat in a larger one next year.
Grand Oriental wedding-everyb body in
| vited. Japanese ceremony with imported
costumes. A novel and interesting enter
tainment to be given at the Opera house,
Wednesday evening, Aug. /, under the au-
spices of the Ladies' Society of the First
Baptist church. With liberality as great
as the superior excellence of the attraction
itself, the society has placed the admission
at fifteen cents. Wedding supper-cake and
ice cream-10 cents. Tickets at Chappell's.
Because one of the citizens of this town
saw violation of law in South Haven, and
deemed it his duty to make complaint, there
fore, Paw Paw wants some of South Haven's
money, is the logic of the Messenger. The
village of Paw Paw had as little to do with
the prosecution of the South Haven saloon
lists as did the man in the moon. AS for the
money paid, it has gone the way of all fines,
into the county treasury, and don't belong to
Paw Paw any more than it does to any other
town in the county.
The First National Bank has got its new
safe which we mentioned short time since.
1t was manufactured by the Detroit Safe Co.,
weighs 7150 pounds, and cost $1450. 1t is
perfect beauty, has two five tumbler combi-
nation locks, and also double time lock. It
is so arranged with combination of levers
that il shuts absolutely air tight. 1t is thor
oughfy fire proof and as near burglar proof
|
If robbers ever get into it, which is extremely
improbable, it will not be the fault of the
managers of the bank, who have done all
that could be done, to provide safe that is
absolutely safe.
In another column we publish statement
from Mr.. Threadgould in which he denies
neglecting his sister and her family. As
stated in ur1ast weeks paper, our informa-
ton came from one OF the members of the
Board of Sup'ts of the poor. We presume
that he relied largely on the statements of
the family and others, as he could not of
course have personal knowledge of the facts.
The Board, no doubt, were satisfied that the
case called for their Intervention or they
would not have rendered the assistance asked.
We have no means of knowing whether they
were deceived OF not, and have given Mr.. Il.
ample space to make public his version of
the matter.
The NoRrHERNER under date of July 18th
stated that Mr.. and Mrs. Judge Mills and
Mrs. G. q. Nash had gone east to spend the
