A pleasant party met at the house of Mr..
and Mrs. f.. =. Mills of Antwerp, in COM
memoration of the birthday of Mrs. Eunice
Gale, Mrs. Mills mother, who was born
February 18th, 1904 She is still able to be
about the house all the time and ride out
occasionally. She was greatly surprised
and received the congratulations and presents
with q grateful heart. The party separated
| feeling that it was good To remember the old
landmarks who are rapidly passing away.
The creamery question was discussed
somewhat at the farmers institute. We very
much fear that our people are not wide
awake to their own interests in this matter.
Some fine day they will be aroused to the
fact that surrounding towns have got the
start of them and that territory that should
be tributary to this village has been pre-
empted by others. Some folks, it would
seem, have an idea that these institutions are
for the manufacture of butterine or oleomar-
garine Such is not the case. They make
only choice, giltedged creamery butter, the
genuine article. Such an institution would
not only pay in Paw Paw, but would be OF
great advantage to the town and the sur
rounding community.
The Eureka Polo Club of Hartford, are
evidently, very much chaSfined at their re-
cent defeat here and kick vigorously through
the columns of the Day Spring, charging
their defeat to the ruling of Mr.. Randall, the
referee. Mr.. II. says he did not know he
was to act in that capacity until the arrival
of the Eurekas and only consented to so act al
the urgent solicitation of the Hartford play
ers. He further states that the Paw Paws
won two goals and the Eurekas two, when
the latter club refused to play the fifth goal
and that by all the rules of the game the Paw
Paws were entitled TO be declared victors
We believe Mr.. Randall would not act dis
honorably in his position as referee and
under the circumstances, the kick of the Eu-
rekas isunjust and uncaied for.
| The result of the protracted meetings
held in Paw Paw during the past two months
is about eighty converts, of which the
Christian Church has twenty-three; the
others will be divided among the different
churches according to their individual predi-
lections and preferences. This is good
showing and the ministers who have con-
Quoted the work have reason to congratulate
themselves on their success, and our people
have reason to rejoice that they have so
faithful band of laborers in the Masters
vineyard. They are all earnest, able, faith
| ful Christians and have but a single object
in view, the advancement of Christianity.
And their efforts have most ably seconded
