The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-05-23

Inc Detroit Evening journal, with Its
customary enterprise, is publishing
brief biographical sketches of some of
the leading members of the state press
Mr.. VIM. Killifer and Mr.. G.. l.. Eaton
have formed a copartnership for the
purpose of transacting insurance and
real estate business. They are both
thorough business men and, no doubt,
their new venture will prove both sue
cessful and profitable.
Elder Pallister's lecture on Martin
Luther was an able and interesting
address and was listened to by large
and appreciative audience. The re-
ceipts were S22.70, which the elder will
apply in payment for hymn books pur
chased for the church.
Mr. X. O. Beebe has gone to Boston,
he having secured situation at that
city as assistant general agent of the
Northwestern Life Insurance Company.
He will not remove his family for a
time, at least. The NoRTHERNER hopes
Mr.. Beebe, who is good fellow and a
number one insurance man, will meet
with success in his new venture. His
address is No. 8, Exchange Place.
Since the first day of January last,
County Clerk Myers has naturalized
thirty-eight foreigners; that is to say,
that number of aliens have received
from him their first papers" and have
become legal voters. OF this number,
one was subject of the king of Den
mark, twelve were subjects of the
queen of England and twenty-five were
subjects of the emperor of Germany.
Mrs. G.. O. Scoville, formerly land
lady of the Peninsular House ut Lake
Cora, has become the proprietess of the
Oakland resort at South Haven, consist
ing of half a dozen elegantly furnished
cottages, which she will open on the
18th day of June next. The cottages
are pleasantly situated between the
lake and the river. Our sister village
seems destined to become a popular
summer resort
We understand that M. p. Allen and
|. w. Hubert have purchased the two
lots just west of the store now occupied
by Mr.. Hubert, and that they will
erect a couple of one story store build
ings thereon. We should think it would
pay them to put on the second story.
The difference in cost is not so very
much when compared with the differ
ence in value. The sale of the property
was negotiated by Mr.. j. l. Breck.
The man who sells ten dollar bills for
half price was in town the other day.
He found two men who accepted the
chance. They say they got the ten
dollars, but widespread impression
exists that they got more brass rings
than stamps. At any rate, the conf
dence operator jumped into his carriage
and left town without stopping to en-
large his business. We understand
that he succeeded in securing victims
both at Lawrence and Hartford.
Mr.. Dansby has his store fitted up
very neatly and is carrying fine stock
of fruits, candies, cigars, tobaccos,
canned goods, etc. He says that the
overthrow of the local option law has
no charms for him, as he will not en-
gage in the saloon business in any
event. The NoRTHERNER is pleased
at his determination and gladly speaks
a good word for him. He will, without
doubt, secure good trade in his new,
more pleasant and legitimate business.
The 18th annual meeting of the Van
Buren, County Pioneer Association will
be held at South Haven on Wednesday,
June 9Th, and not on June 5th as has
been heretofore announced. Governor
Luce will deliver the annual address,
which will be followed by addresses by
Prof. l.. II. Bailey and other speakers.
Arrangements will be made for reduced
rates on the railroads, and trains will
| be held for the accommodation of par
ties attending the meeting. This is to
be a social basket picnic occasion, and
a grand good time is anticipated. Fur.
ther notice, especially as to railroad
rates, will be given at future date.
Mr. Rowland desires to acknowledge
his appreciation of many kind words
from friends both near and far, con
cerning the matter of his having parted
with his interest in the NORTHERNER
He wishes to say further, that he is still
j giving his entire time to editing the
paper and is not yet ready to say good
bye to its many friends and patrons
and when the time comes for him tc
discontinue his editorial duties, which
may or may not be near at hand, he
hopes the same liberal patronage will
be continued to Mr.. Martin, under
whose management the NoRTHERNEH
will continue to occupy front rank.
The NORTHERNER has been doine
quite large amount OF what IL Is vair
enough to think is rather tasty work
for w. II. Pomeroy, the great dealer in
horses. Mr.. Pomeroy and his mer
probably handle a greater number o.
horses than any firm in the entire
country. He makes his headquarterl
et this place and sends out differen
Hgangs of men with droves of ponies
which he sells both at public and pri
vate sale, disposing of thousands every
season. As business man, he is straight
as pike staff and his word is as gooc
as money in hand. Whatever he agrees
to do, he will certainly perform. Any
one desiring reference as to his ability
and business standing and reputation
can obtain the desired information o
either one of the banking institution
of this village.
