The DePere (Wis.) Neps of the 30th nit,
states that the case of DIR. q. K. Thomas
against his wife Mrs. A. B. Thomas. in the
circuit court for Brown County, Wisconsin,
resulted in decree Of absolute divorce for tho
DIR. The defendant received house and
lot and block of unoccupied lots in Lawton
Mich, as alimony. The Ndcs speaks in
very complimentary terms of the Dr., who
formerly resided and practiced his profession
at Lawton.
Isn't il time that our business men and
leading farmers were interesting themselves
in the building of creamery in this place?
Other villages are getting the start of us in
this matter, and, if the subject is allowed to
rest, the territory that is naturally tributary
to us will be occupied by some OF our more
enterprising neighbors. 1t is not venture
that will require great outlay of capital,
and the benefits to be derived from il are
apparent to the most casual observers.
Married, at the residence of the parents of
the bride IN this village on Thursday even
ing. January 28th, 1886, Rev. II. w. Harvey
officiating Mr.. Lucius X. Woodman, son of
Hon. and Mrs. j. j. Woodman, to Miss
Fannie Parker, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
.. +. Parker. The occasion was an exceed
ingly pleasant one, and the presents received
by the newly welded pair were numerous,
handsome and valuable. The NoRTHERNER
unites with the many friends of the joint

prosperous and happy married life.
When Bangor wants to do little mission
airy work instead of sending man to India
and the isles of of the sea she sends him
over and let's him try his hand on the gem
tiles at the county seat. Experience has
shown that protracted and we'll directed
effort will work at least a temporary refor-
nation even in Paw Paw heathen.-Re-
fectOr. Elder Reese did good work in our
village. We would that he might be as sue
cessful at Bangor where he has an opportu-
nifty to labor continuously, but we fear thai
the Bangor heathen are "joined to their
IDOLS
Every time there Is fire in town we are
forcibly reminded of the inconvenience and
dangerous delay caused by having the engine
house so far from the central portion of the
village. BY the time the willing fremen
have reached there they are completely ex-
hausted and unable to move things with the
celebrity required. Two things should be
done for better protection from fires: an
engine house should be provided on Main
street, and the corporation should own a
team and keep man constantly employed
with it who should sleep at the engine house.
Such team and man could do large
amount of team work for the village, and, in
the end, would prove more economical than
the present system, besides affording great
er degree of protection and safety to all.
Judging from what we hear, the prospect
for the early completion of the narrow gauge
from Hartford to South Haven, is extremely
fiattering. Hartford claims, and perhaps
justly, TO be. at present, the most thriving
and flourishing village in the county. If she
would continue to flourish, she cannot afford
for the sake of saving few thousand dol
lars, to allow the road to be diverted from
the route originally contemplated. road
from South Haven to Coloma Ct0 Covert
would seriously injure the future prosperity
of Hartford. We do not believe that her
business men, on account of the expense of
grading and tieing a mile or two. more or
less. of the road. will permit themselves to
lose the great advantages that would accrue
to them from direct railroad communica-
tion with Covert and South Haven.
