The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-04-15

The social at the Nj. 4. Church on last
Wednesday evening was we'll attended, and
the personation of the ten Christian Graces
admirably done. The music and readings
were entertaining. the warm sugar was
"lengthened sweetness long drawn out"
and, In fact, every thing was arranged for
the express purpose of having an enjoyable
time.
The lecture at the Disciple Church last
Monday evening for the benefit of the free
reading room, by Elder w. j. Russell, was
an exceedingly interesting and able one, and
worthy of larger audience. After the close
of the lecture it was voted to hire a room ON
the ground floor in the postofice block, and
the ladies of the w. @. Il. U. were invited to
take charge of the same.
The disappearing season has opened.-Pdp
Pd,o Herald. Not so, the disappearing
season closed on the 2sth day of February
last, and will not open until the first day of
October next. 1t is quite probable that fish
speorfng has begun although the season has
closed. 1t is quite likely, too, that the jail
season may soon open for some of those
who are violating the law of the state.
One of our western subscribers living with
his family at Ponca, Nebraska, writes as az
little town of about 100 inhabitants. We
prize your paper very much. We were born
at Paw Paw and spent our lives in Van
Buren, County. What has become of your
Glendale correspondent? Is he dead again?
If so we wish you had another" How is it,
Lute?-ED.
We notice by late copies of the Aurora
iiiinois-Daily ErpreSs, that William Cate

held there. Mr.. Cate is we'll known to many
of eur older citizens, and his friends will
rejoice at his success. He has been, for
three years past, badly afflicted with rheuma-
tism and entirely unable to perform any
manual labor and the Office to which he has
been elected will prove blessing indeed, to
himself and family.
musical entertainment will be given by
Prof. Hutchins' elementary class at the Dis
ciple Church on Friday evening next. No
admission fee will be charged but collec-
ton will be taken up to defray the expenses
of the concert. There should be full house
on this occasion. Mr. Hutchins has done
some excellent work for this class, which
consists largely of boys and girls, and our
citizens should feel interested IN seeing how
| much progress they have made.
rOr tue tnlru time IN the history OF south
Haven, on Tuesday last at the village cleo
ton tickets were printed on which appeared
the heading chosen by one party but with
portion of the candidates of the other party
printed thereon. We desire the people of
this vicinity to understand that no such
| printing was ever done at the Sentinel Office.
Never vet have we been destitute to an ex-
tent that forced US to be guilty of that kind
of printing.-lS0uM HdCen Sentinel. Cor
rect Bro. Stewart. Such proceeding can
not meet with too severe condemnation.
The NoRTHERNER thinks the Sentinel decided
| ly cranky in one particular direction, but
its editor was level-headed when he penned
| the above item.
We have recently had an opportunity to
examine critically the new work entitled
Manual of Farm Law" by Henry A. Haigh,
Esq. of Detroit, Mich, and have no hesitan-
cy in pronouncIng it the finest book of
reference on the business affairs of everyday
life that ever came under our observation.
1t Is written in plain language, easy to be
understood, and treats exhaustively of COM
mon business matters, especially such as re-
late to farming 1t contains nearly five
hundred pages, and is invaluable as a book
of reference. A few minutes consultation
of its pages might frequently save farmer
the payment of fee for legal advice, and,
perhaps, expensive litigation. A brief exam
ination OF the book will serve to convince
any intelligent man of its value. For sale
by our townsman, Richard Haigh, a brother
of the author.
