! G. w. Young of Paw Paw, is one of the
committee on printing for the state fair of
1885, and is also one of the superintendents
on farming implements. This county will be
honored by his work, as he is one of the best
men she has. With him there and with
Isaac Monroe president of the Van Buren
county agricultural society and G. j. Monroe
president of the society in this western
world, it seems as though there was gong to
be shaking among the dry agricultural
bones this year.-SeHtintl.
Pitt Smith, an old and excellent musician
living at Paw Paw, is devoting his talents to
the manufacture of violins, and with good
success. He uses the Steiner and Stradiva-
RUS models. Expert violinists pronounce
his instruments to be wonderfully good as to
power and sweetness of tone, and quite a
number of his make cannot be re-purchased
for $50. He also repairs violins, recently re-
pairing one for Frank Buck, leader of the
celebrated Buck 81 Geer's orchestra of this
city, and Frank has added just $50 to the
price of it since it came from his hands. His
charges are very reasonable.-D0todgfdC
