The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-06-24

The Kalamazoo Telegraph says that since
Q. Il. Galligan commenced 10 correspond for
the NoRrHERNER he has laid up money
enough to purchase his daughter a $490
piano. Yes, and that isn't all, he has also
saved enough to buy his son Johnny fine
pony.
Mr.. 5. A. Russ of South Bend, Ind, is in
town introducing his celebrated starch COM
pound and bleaching blue, and instructing
the good housewives of our village how to
keep their husbands quiet and good natured.
This latter difficult feat is accomplished by
means of elegantly polished shirt fronts, col
lars and cuffs, which are attained by means
of instructions given by Mr.. Russ and the
old fiat-irons which he puts in condition by
polishing them so they shine like FURNISHED
steel. We have interviewed several ladies
who have taken lessons from him and they
unanimously pronounce his system an ad-
mirable one.
Last Friday morning Gen. Granger was
somewhat surprised to find light, double
wagon in his back yard 1t was placed there
some time during the previous night. The
team attached to it passed in through Prof.
Russelis garden, knocking down his corn,
and had been down in several places.
The marks of sundry gyrations and turnings
out of the vehicle and the team had disap-
peared leaving no trace behind. Who was
the owner, why the team had been there, or
what had become of 1t was mystery. The
mystery was afterward solved by the ap-
pearanco of Harrison Mosier who claimed
the rig. He had been down town to inter-
view Dr., when his team broke away and
disappeared. Ii was not until after pro-
| longed search that he was able to find them,
and when he did discover them, one horse
was down and the other standing over him.
1t was fortunate that no greater damage was
done.
The funeral of the late w. II. II. Earle,
editor of the Day Spring was held on Friday
| last, under the auspices of the Grand Army
of the Republic. A large number of his COM
rades. as well as great concourse of citizens,
attended the obsquies. Short services were
| held at the residence, after which the re-
mains taken to the cemetery where the i'm
| pressive Grand Army burial services were
read and a parting salute fired over the last
resting place of their deceased comrade.
| The people then repaired to the Baptist
Church where funeral address was delivered
by Rev. Welcher. pastor of the baptist church,
of which the deceased was an active and
honored member. So great was the atten-
dance that many were unable to obtain ad
mission. The church was elegantly and
tastefully decorated. The deceased was the
leader of the choir and his vacant seat, drap-
ed in mourning, was a touching reminder of
the loss sustained by his death. Mr.. Earle
was good citizen, highly respected, and will
be greatly missed, not only as an editor, but in
society, as a citizen and as an upright chris
tian gentleman. Quite a number of his
brother editors honored his memory by at
tending the last sad rites, there being present
the editors of the Reflector, Adrahce, RepuJ-
licdn, Courier, and NoRTHERNER. The uni
versal verdict is, good man has fallen.
He was just in the prime of life being forty
six years of age. Peace to his ashes.
