The NoRTHERNER will publish, as matter
of news and free of charge, brief notices of
deaths or marriages that may occur in this
vicinity or near enough to be of interest to
any considerable number of its readers. In
the future, however, all obituaries, lists of
wedding presents, cards of thanks ETC., will
be published in its columns only on payment
of five cents a line. Obituary poetry ten
cents line. All such matters are not news
in any sense of the word and interest only
the very few for whose special benefit they
are printed, and there is no good reason why
they should be published gratis. Those de-
string the insertion of any such matter will
please remember this and govern themselves
accordingly.
The joint picnic of the Disciple Sunday
schools of Paw Paw, Hartford and Decatur,
held at Four Mile Lake on Wednesday of
last week, was grand success. Something
like 500 people were in attendance and the
occasion was an extremely enjoyable one.
The railroad trains from Hartford and Paw
Paw were loaded to their full capacity, and
Decatur turned out its full quota by the over
land route. A bountiful repast was spread in
the commodious music hall which Mr.. SEQ
vile placed at the disposal of the picnickers.
The children were exceedingly happy while
those of larger growth were not far
behind in their enjoyment of the occasion.
No doubt the schools will be ready to repeat
the performance in 1887.
One of the Paw Paw ball tossers expresses
himself as follows concerning an item that
appeared in our last weeks Lawton CORES
pondence: "The NoRTHERNER's Lawton item
izer, speaking of the recent ball game be-
tween the Paw Paws and Lawtons, wrings in
that stale and ancient second nine racket.
He alleges that only two of their first nine
played in the game and thus accounts for the
Lawton's disastrous defeat. He may be cor
rect if he reckons back for a decade or so,
but Paw Paw, by his method could 90 one
better, as there was but one member of its
first nine who participated in the game.
Better call ii a square defeat, boys, and let it
90 at that. We know il is hard to take, but
if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Get accustomed to it and it will be easier to
digest"
The enjoyment of the Paw Paw campers
out at Lake Park was good deal dampened
by the sudden illness of Mr.. j. +. Bulard
last Saturday morning at about one o'clock.
Mr.. B. had been in his usual good health and
had been visiting and chatting with friends
until about midnight, when he retired to his
quarters, and was soon after taken with
violent attack of asthma and came very near
dying. Indeed, his family, himself and his
friends thought he was really called for. Had it
not been for the prompt action of those
present and for the fact that some of the
party had some morphine, mustard and
other medicines, and others gasoline stove
upon which water could be quickly heated,
he never would have recovered. He was so
completely choked that, for quite consider
able time, he could only now and then draw
spasmodic breath every one of which, it
seemed, would be his last.

GobIeviIIe VS.. Paw Paw.

"We have met the enemy and we are
theirs" WAS what the Gobleville ball players
might have said after their game with the
Paw Paws on Friday last. Beaten by a score
of sixteen to thirty three, was the sorrowful
tale they bore home with them. They came
to town with brass band, mascot ETC., aud
paraded up and down our streets in great
style, but we did not hear of their making
any parade after the game was played. The
visitors were virtually beaten in the first in
nings, the home club making ten large, fat
scores and the Coolies scoring a big goose
egg enough to demoralize any club. Dur
band got together and struck up lively air,
hoping to rally the dropping spirits of the
club, but 1t was vain task; they thought it
was a bowery dance and went to hoeing it
down at lively rate. This so disgusted the
musicians that they stopped playing and
made their exit from the grounds, one by
one, before the conclusion of the game. In
the last half of the eighth, the Goblevllle
catcher was knocked out and an object, or
namented with red and black and bearing a
marked resemblance to BARRIERS pole. made
its appearance. Some of the spectators
thought they were hoodooed, and started to
leave the ground. They returned when they
discovered that it was only "Old Punch"
the visitors right fielder. comingin to relieve
the disabled catcher. Everything went off
in good shape. The Gobleville boys seemed
to he perfect gentlemen, no kicking or dis
turbance of any kind. The following is the

STRENGTH.

mat man is strong who puts beneath his
The mean and vile.
And In whose heart where all kind Feelings
There 10 no guile.
Who Is not moved when passions gusty
winds
white cap the seas.
But high upon the mount OF reason 6nds
A throne of peace.
who bides his time whom shafts of malice fall
Around him fast.
And knows that he shall rise above them all
Victor at last.
And though success upon him seems to
frown,
His cause forlorn.
Yet sees by faith afar shining crown
His brows adOrn.
who swerves not from the narrow path of
right,
True to the pole
Whose star through all the gloomy shades OF
night
1llumes his soul.
Who strives each day some higher point to
gain
In higher life,
Each day beholds some subtle tempter slain
Amid the strife.
This man is strong. and each day stronger
grows
In moral strength.
Just as the river widens as 1t flows
To greater length.

uoANpA.s KING.

How the Dus Ky Potsntsts was Doctorea
by Scotch Physleia..
It is NO joke to be q doctor to the
King of Uganda, for whenever I took
him new supply Of medicine I had
always to take dose myself, and to
administer one to seven of the persons
who might happen to be present.
Should one Of these seven unfortunates
die within . week, It would be consid-
cred that ] had attsmpted to poison
the King II the King had to take Q
pill, had always to hold two In my
hand; he choose one and I had to
swallow the other unless l had friend
with me who kindly undertook the Of,
fee. soon noticed however that
Mtesa also chose the smallest and 20 I
arranged accordingly.
One day Mtess played mo nice
trick. had been to the palace to take
him q lotion, and had warned him par
ticularly not to drink it After I had
left he sent Z page after me with 8
gourd OF Mwengi, asking me to taste
It, and say II he might have some. I
did so and said 'Yes." It being Q very
hot afternoon. my friend drank the re.
mainder; but It soon became evident
that the King had doctored the wine.
for my friend became violently siok.
Il turned out afterward that 4tesa
wished to zee what effect the lotion
would have upon me.--DS. Felix's, IN
