The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1884-11-13

| The Disciples had supper and social at
A. 4. McNeil's on Tuesday evening last.
They say they had good time and we be-
lieve it.
The democrats advertise To hold grand
ratification mass meeting here, on Tuesday
next, at which time they expect to paint the
town red.
The new library placed in this village by
Mr.. Cook has been transferred from the Of
fee of w. III. Mason, Esq, to the millinery
rooms of Mrs. Rhoda Hopkins.
Quite a number of clerical errors were
discovered in the returns from various town
ships, which necessitated an adjournment of
the county canvass until Wednesday.
! II is not often one can find at apublic
house, better table, more attentive walters,
or landlord and landlady more careful and
solicitous for the comfort of their guests,
than at the Sebring House in Bangor.
Moon of the Dowagiac Times, spread him
self over the election news. His paper was
"illustrated with cuts" and himself so exu-
berant over the unexpected democratic sue
cess that no stopped over ''just awful"
The steamer Grace Grummond, lying at
the dock in South Haven, was discovered to
be on fire at about two o'clock Wednesday
morning, Nov. 9Th. The vessel burned 70
the waters edge. Cargo mostly saved.
Mrs. Wyman, Miss Lydia Conway's grand
mother, met with painful accident on Sat
urday last. She WAS descending the stairs
and fell several stepe, breaking her right arm
just above the elbow. Notwithstanding her
age, 50 years. she is doing well and the pros
pect is good for her speedy recovery.
The Odd Fellows had surprise social
and supper at the residence OK Mr.. JAS.
Phillips on Friday evening last. The occa-
sion was the birthday of Mr.. Ed. Phillips.
Ed. was somewhat taken aback but bore
himsolf with commenGable dignity, consid-
ering the circumstances. OF course all who
were present had an enjoyable and enter
tanning time. They always do at the Odd
Fellows socals.
The NoETEERNER says some one left pair
of spectacles at that Office. They were prob
ably meant for the Burrows half of the of
fee. He does not appear 10 see his error
with the naked eye.-AdUG1ace, July 2f, '84.
There was no Burrows half to this office.
Both of its proprietors gave Mr.. B. their
hearty support, and it will need a pair of
glasses that magnify more than those above
mentioned to convince either of them OF
their error.
Ii is said that Yaple will contest Burrows
| right to seat in the next congress. Per
haps that accounts for the rigid inspection
Of the returns by democratic legal talent as
soon as they were received. IL the next
1 Ill
he will need to do will be simply to ask and
he will receive. We have not heard upon
what ground he proposes to base his con-
test, but the real foundation will be that he
wants the seat badly, and, as the people voted
him out, he will ask his democratic friends
in congress to vote him in. The democratic
motto is get there, honestly if possible, but
| get there at all hazards.
On Monday last Mrs. Frank Thomas of
! this village, was engaged in the laudable-
but--as it always seemed 60 us-wholly un-
necessary occupation of house cleaning.
The lady gathered up what she supposed TO
be a lot of useless packages Of garden seed
etc, and threw them into the stove. E,aSC +,
them was package of powder-Frank is a
hunter, you know and careessiy left his
ammunition laying around loose--which i'm
mediately proceeded to "go Off" The top of
the stove was blown off, the stove door
blown from its hinges, and Mrs. Thomas
face severely but not dangerously burned.
DIR. Hilton her physician, thinks she will
not be dishgured by the accident. Moral
''for ladies only:'-Have mercy on your hus-
bands, and don't "clean house"
In it's report of the fusion county conven-
tion at Lawrence the Paw Paw Herald said
with proper and we'll directed effort we be-
lieve ry--fusion-nominee may be elected.
A change in the county offices is imperativey
demanded and the people will consult their
best interests by bringing it about" Either
the Herald was sadly at fault in its belief, or
else there was not the "proper and well-di-
rected effort" made in behalf of its candi-
dates. A change was not "imperatiyely de-
manded" by the people, to any great extent.
A plurality of from 800 to 1900 in favor of
all the republican candidates on the county
ticket, shows that the judgment of the Her.
aid as to what would be for the best interest
OF the people, differs largely from the judg-
ment of the people themselves.
While canvassing the votes in this town
ship on the evening OF election, attention
was called To the fact that, on part of the
greenback fusion tickets the "k" was miss
ing from Shakespeare's name. The senior
editor of the Courier being present remark
ed that he sometimes made mistakes, but if
any one found q mistake in the tickets he
printed he might kick him--the editor all
around town. It was a rash proposition,
but, feeling no particular animosity toward
him, we have no desire to avail ourself of
tho privilege. The mistake was made though,
Just the same in character as on the green
back ticket. On part of the democratic
tickets printed at the Courier Office it is
Christian Vanderveen Cor member of the
state board of education, and on part of
them it is Christian Vandervern.
