China Wedding.

Last Thursday was the 20th anniversary
of the marriage of Mr.. Allen +. Mcneil and
Miss Alzina Halsted, residents of this village.
Now Al. and his estimable spouse are both
good fellows, and have a large circle of warm
friends in this community, and the recurrence
of this anniversary was made the occasion
for manifestation of their regard for the
worthy couple who have safely and happily
arrived at the twentieth mile stone of their
welded life. AT half-psst five merry party
of friends gathered at the residence of o. w.
Rowland, and shortly afterward, sailed forth
with we'll laden baskets, determined on
jolly time and-they had it. Mac. and his
wife were taken wholly by surprise but, con-
sidering the circumstances, bore the infliction.
or afhictlon, with commendable degree of
equanimity. Tables were speedily spread
with liberal supply of refreshments, to
which the assembled guests did ample
Justice, having saved their appetites expressly
for the occasion. After those who sat at the
first table had exhausted themselves in the
vain attempt to get outside of all that was set
before them, and while the second table was
being prepared, Mr.. Rowland, who had been
selected to perform that duty, presented to
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcneil, an elegant tea set, as
token of the esteem and high regard in
which they were held by the assembled COM
pany. Mr.. Mcneil made very fitting re :
sponse, thanking his friends for their kind
remembrance. The remainder of the evening
was pleasantly spent, in social converse, and,
at what we thought to be altogether too early
an hour, the company separated, wishing AL.
and Zine many happy returns of their we'd
ding anniversary.

Obituary.

MaryF., wife of S. N. Van Fleet, died at
Lawton, Mich, Tuesday evening, Nov. 7th,
1885. She was a daughter of Walter Fraden-
burgh, and was born in Saratoga county, N.
Y, Feb. I'd, 1874. She embraced religion in
her tenth year, and lived true and consis-
tent Christian life. She began teaching at
the age of sixteen and, until her marriage.
was a successful teacher in Saratoga, Wash
ington and Oswego counties in the state of
New York, and at Lawton, Mich. She came
TO Lawton in 1876, and taught in the Union
School one year. She was married to Mr.
Van Fleet June 27th, 1877. Her fine intel
lect, and unusual gentleness and purity of
character gained her large circle of friends,
and the utmost respect and confidence of the
community. She was devoted wife, daugh-
ter and sister, true friend, an active and
valuable member of, and worker in the
Methodist Episcopal church and Sunday
school. The funeral services, held in the M.
+. church, were very largely attended by
friends, including Mr.. Van Fleets comrades
of l.. @. Woodman Post, G. A. r., all of
whom deeply sympathize with the afflicted
husband and relatives, while mourning their
own loss of valued friend.

Riding on the RaiI.

On Wednesday morning of last week, We
were notified that certain parties desired 10
meet US at the depot son business" Just
what was up, we didn't know, but, at the APP
pointed time, we repaired to the rendezvous
where we found ten or dozen prominent
business men assembled, waiting, Micawber-
like, for something to "turn up" After little
| time special train came in from Lawton.
the sole occupants of which were"long Frank"
the president of the road, genial Ed. Martin,
its treasurer, and last but not least, the gen.
tlemanly Dutchman, John Ihling general su-
perintendent. The assembled party of p. b.
m. scrambled on board, and half an hour af-
terward disembarked at Hartford at which
place they expected to meet Hon. VIM. Nc
Pherson Jr., state railroad commissioner,
when the train came in from the north: but
which expectation was not fulfilled. Being
unable to ascertain when that official would
put in an appearance, Mr.. Ihling ordered the
party ION board, and steamed back to Lake
Cora, where they were invited to dine at the
elegant Peninsuar House, an invitation
which they were not slow to accept. In an
ticipation of entertaining an empty crowd, q
most elegant repast had been prepared, to
which all did ample Justice; especially was
this true with Capt. Ed. Smith and Kirke
w. Noyes. The former seemed to think he
was down at the sea shore filling up with
CLAIMS, while Kirke gave first class exhibi-
ton of his ability to dispose of roast beef,
roast turkey, ct id genus Omne. The entire
party voted that, though it was q marrow
gauge" excursion, 10 was abroad gauge
dinner. Mr.. Adams staid so long up town
he is Tong everywhere-that he was left
behind, and was not with the party at the
lake. All regretted this for Frank is good
fellow, in fact the railroad company like him
so we'll that it would not give Adams for
any other president. immediately after the
conclusion of the repast, the party returned
to Hartford where they met the commissioner
and at once started on the return trip TO Paw
Paw. 1t was jolly crowd and would have
been an entirely harmonious one, If Messrs.
Ihling and Hathaway hadn't kept up a
continuous quarrel about rates. On ar
irving at Paw Paw the commissioner, ac-
companied by the entire party came mp town,
where he was introduced to numbers of our
citizens,a a general hand-shaking was INDUCED
in, after which the party dispersed, Mr.. Nc
Pherson going to Lawton, whence he took
the train east on the nj. G. II. II. All in all, it
was very enjoyable day, and when John
gets up another excursion, may we be there
to participate.

A second railroad meeting was held ON
Monday evening, and was 80 largely attended
that the court room, though crowded to its
utmost capacity, proved too small to contain
all who came. I. Il. Harrison called the
meeting to order promptly at half-past
seven, after which he Informed the people
that he had received great encouragement
from the business men of Kalamazoo, pro-
vided the road should be carried through to
the lake.
DIR. Maynard then read the minutes of the
last meeting, and, after their adoption, pro-
ceeded to explain map of tho different rail
roads, which had been prepared for the oc
casion by II. A. Rogers. Mr.. j. b. Thresher
of Benton Harbor, who had been invited to
be present for the purpose of addressing the
meeting, next gave very sensible and inter-
esting half hours talk, in which he ascribed
the steady growth of Benton Harbor to its
railway facilities, and gave especial proml-
nence to the advantages of direct communi-
cation with great water way like Lake
Michigan. He assured our citizens that if
we decided to build road to Benton Harbor,
the people of that place would do all in their
power to aid us. Mr.. Thresher's remarks
ELECTED much enthusiasm and the whole spirit
of the meeting indicated determination to
,
and secure the road instead of waiting, as
| often before, until some more enterprising
town h. d captured the prize.
Mr.. Thresher was followed by Thomas
Welch who favored trunk line, and read
some arguments in support of his theory,
but he seemed to stand entirely alone in his
view of the case.
The secretary notified the meeting that
stock company had been formed with capi-
tai of $2l 900, five per cent of which had
been paid in. and that articles of asso-
citation were filed with the secretary of state
The association consists of seven members,
IS follows: L. II. Harrison, g. s. Maynard
+. Il. Stevens, A. Hathaway, Nv. Longwell,
). Il. Bowen, and G.. Il. Breck. No subscrip
ion will be called for until the whole amount
ecessary TO build the road has been guaran-
eed, and it is expected that Paw Paws
'hare. $4,000, will be secured without any
rouble. The meeting was adjourned until
next Monday evening 10 meet at Longwell's
Opera House, at half-past seven, at which
time the further developments will be report
d. Let every one be present, and help on
the good work.
