The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-12-17

The Paw Paw Herald nominates Hon.
Perry Hannah Of Traverse City, as the repub-
lican candidate for governor of Michigan
That is the most sensible political suggestion
that we ever knew the Herald to make.
Our old and staunch democratic friend,
Ransom Nutting of Decatur, has distanced
all his competitors, and has been appointed
postmaster at that place. Rams, we con-
gratulate you. Here's our sss~. Shake.
DR.. Hunting's lecture, "Key- board and
Bellows at the opera house, last week We'd
nesday evening. called out fair audience.
Ii was a fine address, one of the best that has
been delivered in Paw Paw for many a day.
We received, a few days since, from Miss
Edna Warren of Phoenix, Arizona, a box
containing couple of pomegranates. They
were the first of that kind of fruit that we
ever saw and were quite curiosity. Thanks,
Edna.
Mrs William Cox of this township, who
has been suffering for long period of time,
with cancer, died last Saturday. She was
buried on Wednesday the 10th inst. Funeral
services were held of the Free Baptist
Church.
A. II. Heron was in town last Friday and
made the NoRrHERNER pleasant call. He
is in the employ of the Detroit Tribune, and
is as fat and jolly as when he was aresident
of our town, in days of yore. He was ac-
companied by his son, Arthur.

/ Judge Mills was in town a couple of days
| last week, engaged in settling the bill Of ex-
ceptions in the Barker case. The bill was
completed and the case will be taken to the
supreme court. Judging from the past de-
cisions of that court, and its extreme tender
ness of the rights of criminals it is tolerably
safe to predict that the case will be reversed
and new trial ordered.
| A Christmas sermon will be given at the
| Church of Christ next Lords Day morning
The subject of the bible divine revelation
will be continued in the evening, in which
will be shown that the scriptures teach and
inculcate the highest degree of moral purity
and that there has never been anything given
which can take their place. All are cordially
invited to attend these services.
Our old friend Conrad Lich, the most en-
thusiastic Odd Fellow in the state, formerly
a resident of this place, but now of Big
Rapids, was in town visiting old friends, OF
| Friday and Saturday last OF course he was
at the meeting of his old lodge, with which
he still retains his membership, on Friday
evening. The brothers were all pleased 10
see him. Paw Paw Lodge has no member
that is more highly respected than Brother
Lich.
| Rev. Mr.. Dains of Bloomingdale. preached
at the Disciple Church last Sunday evening
A large choir rendered some excellent music
In addition to the regular choir there were
present Miss Minnie Hodges and the Mosiel
quartette consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Wells
Mosier. G. II. Mosier and their sister. Mrs
Hattie Hopping of Kalamazoo. We under
stand that Wells and Mary. and Miss Hodges
will remain permanent members of tn,
choir.
George Breck met with quite painfu
accident, on Sunday last. He has Jersey
heifer of which he is very proud. He wa.

cluded to take part in the performance her

his collar bone. Fortunately George carried
an accident policy which will give him $2i
a week while he is laid up. If he knew a.
much about cows as we do, he would le
them alone.
We received letter few days since from
Mr.. @. G. Buyce-happy Chet, the champion
well-digger-of Barraboo, Wisconsin, for
merly Paw Paw boy, containing remit
tance for his subscription to the NoRTHERNER
Mr.. Bryce says he has recovered from tn,
injury he received some time since, by the
premature explosion of blast, while engaged
in his occupation of well-digging, and isnov
able to be at work again. He gives quite al
extended description of the way wells are dug
in that state. The last one he dug was 16I
feet deep, the last 140 feet through solid rock
We apprehend it would be difficult matte
to pull up that well. The NoRTHERNER wishe
Chet. all manner of success. MAY b.
live long and prosper
