While engaged in the woods fell
ing trees ON Wednesday afternoon,
Casscllus Cobb, Of Geneva, was
struck on the shoulder by falling
limb, breaking his collar bone. Med
ical assistance was called as speedily
as possible, and the patient now lies
in as comfortable condition as could
be expected under the circumstances.
The break is pronounced a bad one,
and it may be months before the suf-
fcrer will again be able to be around.

\ goodly number of democratic
editors who profess to despise crime
and criminals, are bringing every
thing possible in the way Of ridicule
and misrepresentation to bear upon
the senatorial committees now
investigating two noted cases of po-
litical murder. People will, how
ever, wait and hear the facts. If it is
no crime to kill man for voting the
republican ticket, and if there is
10 be no redress, the American peo-
pie should know the facts, and the
sooner the bettcr.-Inter Deem.
The Allegan Gazette is considered
needIessly alarmed about the peach
crop in this section when it predicts
only aquarter of 4 cropin that county.
Hon. \. :. Dyckman is interested in
the next crop of peaches and he thinks
ROW that his Early Crawlords, one of
the most tender varieties, will WELD
him all the trees should bear. The
cold weather may have killed some
OF the buds but the trees went into
Writer quarters set very full, and had
the killing of portion not taken
place thinning would have been re-
sorted to and even yet will be in
many instances.-SeHtiaei.
I have noticed in my own business
life. extending over Il period Of near
" seventy years, that every rcduc-
ton Of the tariff Tor the tariff for rev
enue only" PLAN has brought wretch
edness and ruin. 1t is the natural
effect from foreigners who want to
break up our industries. They have
dorc it several times already, and
want to do it again. The laborers of
the old world get barely enough to
keep body and soul together, and this
is the condition in which the advo-
Gates of free trade are trying to place
our laborers, and it behooves every
man to do all he can to deter con-
gress from the endeavor.-Peter
Cooper.
A representative from Paw Paw
who was here over Sunday, had quite
ar animated discussion with one OF
our leisurely South Havenites Mon
day. Our reporter hadn't the pass
word but he could overhear their
quarreling. What they said sound
cd Ike "ffteen two. fifteen four,
run Of three and his knob makes
eight" Then the other says ''fifteen
six and pair is eight and nothing in
the crib" The last speaker evident
" wasn't married. Meeting them
afterwards they both claimed to have
beaten in their contest but they
wouldn't tell us what it was all about.

The store of O. Il. Everett & Son,
at Volinia, was broken into Tuesday
night about 8 o'clock. Edgar c., the
Junior member of the firm, while re-
turning from singing school was i'm
