The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-05-21

w. A. Anderson, Esq, of the KaldmG-oo
telegraph, called on us last Tuesday. He
was in town looking up subscriptions for the
Daily Telegraph. AS that paper, containing
all the news, can reach us twelve hours
sooner than the Detroit and Chicago dailies,
we see no reason why ii should not occupy
the field. Subscribers here can receive il at
p. M, only few hours after it leaves the
press.
Memorial day-May 30th-will be observ-
ed in this village by the usual appropriate
ceremonies. IL is hoped and expected that
all who cherish the memories of cur fallen
heroes-and who does not?-will interest
themselves in making the day grand sue
cess. We invite special attention to the
order of Commander Noyes of Brodhead
Post, q. A. r., published in another column
of this paper.
Amusements and entertainments are ex-
ceedingly abundant just now. The Georgia
Minstrels at the opera house on the
10Th, Miss Frances Willard at the rink, ON the
20th, a circus on the 2lst, the spring meetingof
the agricultural society on the 21st, 22d and
23d, sheep-shearing festival on the 22d, and
Mrs. Belva Lockwood, competitor of Ben But
ler at the opera house on the 26th. "You pays
your money and takes your choice.
The legislature of Colorado created a city
court for the city of Denver and fixed the
salary of the presiding Judge, who was to be
appointed by the governor, at $1,000 year.
There were 81 applicants for the position.
but the governor selected our old friend and
fellow citizen, /. 4. Barnum, who was not an
applicant. 1t is Judge Barnum now, but we
will warrant he would respond to an old
friend who should address him as Ike, Just
as heartily as if the official handle were used.
The frosts of last week caused the tender
plants of the gardens that had unwisely
shown their unsuspecting heads to look as
if they had forgotten to wear their hats if they
had any. When we hear of gentlemen COM
posedly vending their way homeward at 10
p. In. with heads uncovered, or nearly so, we
are thankful they are not classed with the
green and tender things of earth. Gentlemen.
be dutiful, that your heads may be crowned
with your hats all the days of your life.
An exchange says: "Do not buy your
goods of rowing pedlars, but take your home
paper, look it over and trade with those
whose names appear in its columns as re-
sponsible merchants. They are here among
you the year around; you know where to
find them in case anything is wrong; they
help pay the taxes, and are entitled to your
trade by all laws of reciprocity" All which
is undoubtedly true. We might add that it
is not laudable thing for the merchant or
business man to send to some neighboring
city whenever he desires q little job of print
ing, because he can, or thinks he can, save a
little money by so doing. Your own home
papers are entitled to your patronage, and
will do your printing as cheaply as good
work can be afforded. The printer might
think he could save a little money by pur-
chasing goods away from home, but it would
not be the best way to do, if he could. Pat
ronize home dealers and home producers,
and let every man make living profit, is the
thriving community.
