One hundred and eleven teams were in
sight from the corner by the Dyckman House,
at half past three last Saturday afternoon.
Our town, evidently, is not as near dead as
some people try to make themselves believe.
Hon. j. j. Woodman has returned from
the 10Th annual session OF the National
Grange, held at Boston, and it is expected
that he will give a report of its doings at

Frank Millington met with singular ac-
cident the other day. He was going down
cellar and stepped on the edge of an iron ket-
tie which tipped up against the tender part
of his leg, his shin in fact, and now he is
confined to his bed, from the effect of the
injury.
To the many friends who so very kindly
assisted us III rendering the last sad duties

Mr.. A. w. Cummings has gone to Detroit to
accept clerkship in thepension Office, under

U. s. pension agent at that city. We are
pleased to see that Nj. McKinstry remem-
bers the "boys." Del. will make a No. one

Mr.. L. p. Mills is fairly entitled to be
ranked among the successful farmers of
Van Buren, County. He harvested, this year,
1900 bushels of wheat, 365 bushels of beans,
800 bushels of oats and about 1,600 bushels
of corn. He has put in, this fall, eighty five
acres of wheat.
Ed. Lindsey and Hod. Hubbard have
purchased w. +. Cooks house and lot ON
Niles street, and will occupy it as soon as
vacated by Mr.. Cook, who will return to his
farm in the western part of the county. Paw
Paw people will regret to have MIR. Cooks
people go away.
We are informed that the Thanksgiving
party at Lake Cora was grand success. One
hundred and ten numbers were issued. 1t
was very elegant party, and there was none
of the bosterous, ungentlemanly element
present, that too frequently disgraces public
dancing parties.
Some fifty of the Baptist church and neigh
| bors of Mrs. Rhoda Hopkins gave her sur
prise party last Monday evening. They
brought with them we'll filled baskets of
eatables and enjoyed a right merry time.
Rev. l.. b. Fish presented her with an elegant
gold band china tea-set
We call attention to the corrected time
tables in this paper. Trains on the M. G.
X. X. run as they formerly did, the fast
trains not stopping at Lawton. But one mid
day train runs between Paw Paw and Law
ton, leaving Paw Paw at lilo a. m. and
returning, leaves Lawton 1926.

afternoon last. A Judgment was taken in the

gould for S276.12 and costs. Court adjourned
until Saturday, the 10th of January, at two

Married, at Fernwood, Ills, on the 20th
ult., Mr.. Harry Howe formerly of this town
ship, 10 Miss Rose Jones, daughter of Mary
Z. Jones, the noted walkist. 1t seems that
Harry knew Rose when he saw one, and
knew Hoee to secure it for himself. AS for
Rose, we hardly think she will engage in the
business of raising the old Harry.
