Miss Lottie Campbell, one of the gradu-
ates, presented an elegant napkin ring to
Prof. Averill as token of her esteem.
c. d. and G. w. Lawton left home for N.
Y. State on the 23rd inst called there by tel
egram announcing the expected death of
their Oldest sister, Mrs. U. A. Wright, who
resides at Auburn.
The music at the graduating exercises was
furnished 10y Frank Robins, sister and wife,
and Mr.. Boyden of Kalamazoo, and Bertha
McElheny of this place. IL was very good,
although many thought that little more of
our home talent would have done as well.
The graduating exercises of the class of
"a of the Lawton union school took place
at the nj. L. church last Tuesday evening,
the graduates Misses Campbell and Tabor,
being assisted by others of the high school.
The house was densely packed at an early
hour, quite number being present from
Paw Paw and vicinity. The rostrum was
handsomely decorated with plants and flow
ers, and a large arch in the foreground bore
the class motto, "Be what you seem to be-
from which was suspended floral horse
shoe. The exercises opened with music, and
prayer by Rev. q. ID. Watkins. After an
other piece of music, the salutatory by Miss
Lottie Campbell was received with loud APP
plause. Frank Bates then made his first at
tempt at oratory in defamation entitled
" Loss of National Character" and acquitted
himself creditably. Miss Agnes Tyler's es-
say, No Pains, No Gains" was exceedingly
good, and left very favorable impression.
Music, and defamation, "Union and Lib
erty," by VIM. Watkins was followed by
Miss Stella Lawton's rendition of GA Math-
ematical Story; both these reflected much
credit upon the speakers. More music, and
then an essay by Miss Lottie Campbell, en-
titled might Bringeth out the Stars This
essay showed considerable thought and was
not only well written but also unusually
well delivered. Her clear and distinct utter
ance and thorough mastery of the subject
prevented a moments hesitancy from begin
ming to end. Miss Florence Tabor next gave
a well written essay upon "Cobwebs and
Cables" closing with the valedictory.
Prof. Averill then presented the diplomas
with a few appropriate remarks, and the ex-
ercises were concluded with music and the
benediction.

Strawberry festivals will soon bloom.
Jim Galligan has planted six acres of po-
tatoes.
Miss Lettie Darling has gone on a visit to
Chicago.
Martin DeGraff is putting new outside
on his farm barn.
War is now raging between the farmer
and the potato bug.
Jim Russell's dog climbed the golden stair
last Sunday, and the dog poisoner is stin

Wheat grass, oats, corn, potatoes, spring

Joe the butcher has bought ont Albert
VanDyke and will skin calves here, as of

Sheep washing is in full blast and of
course hot stuff and pepper-sass have to

Ben Sheldon and wife have gone to Ne
braska on long visit among friends and
relatives.
There is a great strife here among the ag
ricultural agents, and farm machinery is
selling very reasonably.
Wheat that will make 40 lbs. of good flour
per bushel which sells for $l.40, brings 90
cents in the market.
Corn is up nicely in many places and the
farmer has commenced to cultivate it. The

Our highway commissioner talks of buy
ing road scraper like the one owned by the
village, for the use of the town. The idea
is good one.
Robert Emmett the famous Hambeltonian
stallion, died at Kalamazoo last week. He
was owned by Daniel Shea, brother of John
Shea of this place. Robert was fine horse,
well known by horsemen here.
Pasturing highways seems to be in order,

center of the road.
Luther w. whitbeck has bought him a
brand new squeaiing horse OF tho North of

Carlton James Russell, bold hero of Co. /,
18th Mich. Infantry, is groom.
Our city dads have passed an act making
IL unlawful for anyone to hold his own calf
bv string and let it feed in front of his
own premises. We think such an ordinance
as that is a little arbitrary on the part of the
dads, besides being little insulting to the
calf.
Denison Graine, the handsome colored
.calsominer, is the happy owner of a little
new born offspring which is the very image
of Denison, and he calls IL the little fat JUS

can say, but have great reason to believe
they wanted an extraordinary name for it,

inches of powder and shot commenced TO
advance upon the enemy. When within
about four rods of the old feline he drew
himself mp in line of battle at the word Of
command and prepared for immediate hos
tilities. Surveying the grounds over, he
drew the old gun to his shoulder and blazed
away. The sound was like a young earth
quake, only louder, and from appearances
the old gun must have kicked him with both
feet, as he went back several rods crashing
through number of old barrels in rather
demoralized condition. The corporal sur

not the cat that when he loads gun again
he will measure his powder IL he has TO 90

bilities are, he has cured that old feline of
catching chicks, and we advise every poultry
raiser to go and do likewise.

Dear lady, there is probably no use telling
you that fashionable life in a great city is a
rough one on your beauty. Late hours, loss

by and by shorn of those beautiful tresses
which drew lovers around you in other years.

dwelling Of the Luther Statue.

The statue to Martin Luther was dedicated
in Washington on Wednesday, The exercises
took place on = platform built above the Pc
destal, which covered the entire park in front of
the church, and when the exercises began the
1,200 seats provided were filed, and many spec
tators we're standing on the walks and in the
streets. Directly in front of the staue were seated
the speakers, and above them was stretched a
canvas protection from the sun. A blue cord
was suspended on one side, and was connected
with an American flag which concealed the
statue from view. Jnstice Miller presided, in
place Of Chef Justice Waite, who was detained
by sickness. Seated near him were the speak
ers, and officers of the association and invited
clergymen from different states.
Senator Conger mich. delivered the address
of the day, and Rev. j. s. Norris D. D. spoke
at some length The cord attached to the flag
covering the statue was then pulled, and as the
drapery fell disclosing the face of the great re-
former, the band rendered Luthers famous bat
tie hymn. The statute stands in the large tri-
angular space fronting the Memorial Lutheran
church at the intersection of Vermont avenue
and Fourteenth street 1t looks south and faces
q stones throw distant "Luther place." which
will be the name of the place below, is the
Memorial church. 1t win be decided to the
statue association. The statue is fine piece
of German workmanship. It is an exact coun-
terpart of the central figure of the world-re-
nowned group at Worms, Germany. In it
Luther appears in colossal bronze about eleven
feet six inches high, and standing upon pc
destal of granite nearly sixteen feet in height

Former Serfs in Russia,

The End of March is to many million
of Russians what the Fourth of July is
20 all Americans, for on that day the
serfs were liberated. During the
twenty three years of freedom which
they have now enjoyed, the freed peas
ants show signs of great improvement
in every respect. AS to the lands the
peasantry are the largest land owners
next to the crown. The crown owns
408 100000 acres, the peasants $685.
DOC, 900 acres, and the other land pro-
prietors, chiefly the former serfholders,
own 27O 900, 900 acres. Up to January
|, 1888 the former serfs had bought
from their former masters $4,000, 600
acres at cost of 1877 ,006, 900 rubies
1850, 100000 It must be kept in
view also that most of the land fit for
farming, owned by the crown and the
former serfholders, is rented by the
peasants. It is accepted here as a max
i'm that Russia's well-being chiefly de-
ponds upon her agriculture. Therefore
the fate Of the czar's country now lies in
tho peasant hands. Thus the scrf has
risen from a chattel to the post of gov
erning his country's best interests.

Professor Pepper, of the University
of Pennsylvania, says that among the
causes of disease among Americans is
the damp homes, caused by bad drain
age, the use of tobacco, the drinking of
whisky at all times, and especially be-
tween meals; the excessive use of strong
tea and coffee, the frying pan, the soda
baking powder aud patent purgative
pills. The hot water craze, he says is,
capable of doing as much harm as good.
While hot water may be used with ad-
vantage in limited number of cases, in
many it has not been without it's disad-
Vantages. The craze has brought its
good, for it has been of advantage to
the strong tea and coffee drinkers, whose
nervous system will not stand the strong
stimulant, but who may take cup Of
hot water tinged with English breakfast
tea and little sugar, and drink with
pleasure cup that cheers, but does not
over-stimulate.

Peck's Sum-
When a man is first called "pa," by q
little one that he has a half interest in,
he puts his thumbs in his vest, smiles q
two-for-a-quarter smile, and thinks he is

young and green-looking as he is was

and thinks that he is thoroughbred.

said infant, grown to agreat strapping
fellow, big enough to take his "pa" down
at the wrestle "square-hold," stands be-
fore minister and promises to love,
honor and obey girl for all that is out,
and the girl turns and calls the old gem
