Covert ~ Bnrfraul.

This enterprising firm is composed of two
popular young men, G. Fred Covert and Err
lum w. Bartram. Mr.. Covert is twenty-five
years of age. He was born in the township of
Mundy, Genesee Co., Mich, on the 9TH day
of June, 1862, being the youngest of a family
of eleven children. At the age of thirteen
years, his parents removed to the village of
Fenton where young Fred attended the Un-
ion school. Two years afterward the family
removed to Ovid at which place he served
two years apprenticeship IN his fathers drug
store. Subsequently he attended school at
Valparaiso, Ind, for term of three years,
taking the scientific course, coming back TO
Ovid where he remained year, and then re-
turned TO Valparaiso to take business
course. After graduating he returned to
Ovid where he remained until 19S3 when he
married, came to Paw Paw, and went into
business.
Mr.. Bartram, or as he is faniliarly known,
Doc. Bartram, was born in November 1857,
in log house III the township of Victor,
Clinton Co., Mich. he was born in the prim-
tive forest which, at the time of his birth,
was on fire through all that region. But
Doc. was tough boy and came out all right.
His father died when Z. w. was but four
years old. Went to district school and at
bCAACA bhC CAiiOn cCtOOA ONlu tuItt years.
Aside from the time he was in school he
worked at farming until twenty one years
old, after which he took full veterinary
course at the Ontario Veterinary College,
from which he graduated in 1879, after
which he practiced his profession at Ovid,
subsequently going to the University at Ann
Arbor where he took nine months medical
course. He was married in 1879, and came
to Paw Paw with his partner in 1888, where
they bought Forsyth's stock of drugs and
groceries. BY their gentlemanly behavior
they have won many friends, and by their
strict attention to business, their honorable
deal, and by judicious and liberal advertising
they have built up fine and constantly in
creasing trade. Both are good druggists.
and DIR. Bartram stands high as veterinary
surgeon. Politically, they are both strong
republicans. Mr.. Covert was candidate
for township clerk, on the republican ticket,
last spring, and was elected by handsome
majority. The general opinion of all who
have formed their acquaintance is that, when
they came to this village, Paw Paw gained
two very respectable families, two good bus
iness men, and two desirable citizens.

WILLIAM G. MAcKrLLAR.

William G. Mackellar who, fer some time
past has been an inmate of tho Kalamazoo
asylum, died at that institution, last Sunday
morning. His death was not unexpected, as
his physical strength had been gradually but
constantly failing. The deceased had grown
up in the midst of this community from
childhood, and was much loved and respected
by all who knew him. Genial, honorable
and upright, he had no difficulty in winning
friends and in retaining them. A short time
before he passed away he became more ra-
tional, recognizing and bidding his friends
good bye. Short services were held at his
residence on Tuesday afternoon. and his re-
maines temporarily deposited in the vault on

TIE CHICAGO Herald finds IN hght
between two rival physicians IN Whlch
one of them was mortaily wounded, an
occasion for pointing a moral. Inc
quarrel between the doctors grew out 81
professional rivalry, and the Heratd
spoke of the affair as an instance OF
"the bitter spirit engendered even
among the educated classes by the
fierce competition for livelihood ne
cessitated by modern life." II our
contemporary Will name perlod IN IL
worlds history when there was no pro-
fessionaI rivalry, it will strengthen Its
case, or it will also do so by showing
that such rivalry is confined to-day to
civilized life. The savage medicine man
is quite as anxious to get his rival out
of the way as was the Illinois physician
who got rid of his rival. Our modern
civilization has nothing to do with 1t A;
it all comes FROM Jealousy, which is as
old as the race, and therefore much
older than the fierce competition for
livelihood necessitated by modern life.

The GEORGIA Legislature thinks 1t IS
time that the killing off of the popula-
ton by poisonous drugs should be done
intelligently, and not in the reckless
careless manner of the drug clerk. That
body has before it, and promises to pass,
a bill requiring that bottles or packages
containing sulphates OF morphine or
other deadly poisens shall be put up in
scarlet wrappers, and that the English
name of the poison shall be placed
thereon in white letters. A severe
penalty is provided for the violation OF
the law. Hereafter the Georgian will
have to poison himself, and not trust to
the ignorance or carelessness of the pre-
scription clerk for his taking off.
