Judge Hilton has made fine addition to
his law library, having purchased the New
York and Ohio reports. He now has, proba-
| bly,, library that is second TO that of no
other practitioner in the county. The judge
likes to keep up with the times In whatever
he undertakes, whether it be collection of
law books, fast horse or bottled spring
water.
marriage was solemnized at the Catholic
Church in this village, to-day-We Wednesday.
The contracting parties we're MIR. Michael
FELTON, and Miss Mary Brummell, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Brummell of Waverly.
The NoRTHERNRR has not the honor of the
acquaintance of either of the parties, but
wishes them much JOY and happiness just
the same.
Among the many distinguished men who
are subscribers to the NoRTHERNER we count
Messrs. X. b. Hayes, Luce, Conger, Alger,
Cleveland, Fessenden, Randall, Butler,
Morrison and Sherman. Mr. Davis and Mr..
Blaine were formerly on our list but have
dropped out, the former, we presume, on
account of our politics, and the latter be-
cause John A. Logan is our first choice for
president.
What pity it is that, with five good water
powers, two of them absolutely idle and
running to waste, Paw Paw has no mill that
is up with the times. Once this village was
one of the greatest milling centers in this
part of the state. Now there is scarcely a
four corners village anywhere but has better
milling facilities than we have here. 1t is
not pleasant statement. but it is true. The
capitalist who shall first erect good roller
mill here will have bonanza.
Our jovial old comrade, Minard Mcneil of
Porter, has recently purchased a place in
Kalamazoo County. He thinks he made a
clean thousand dollars in the deal. We are
glad to hear of his prosperity. Mac says
they gave him fits" in Porter because he
voted the republican ticket, but he says he
! has got through with the democratic party
has no further use for it. Good for you, Mac
We always thought you would find your way
ont of the woods after a while. Shake.
Instead of having an institute during the
J winter for the benefit of the teachers of this
county, committee, of which Prof. II. H
Gulley is one, has arranged for a series OF
lectures TO be delivered at different points in
the county, and the partial understanding
now is that the first one is to be Prof. j. M
B. Sill, of the State Normal School at Ann
Arbor, to be delivered at this port probably
during December, of which we will give due
/ and timely notice in future issues.-Sentinei
