An early morning train has been
placed on the Michigan Central in the
! interest of the Detroit morning papers.
! The train leaves Detroit at 3:45, carries
the mail and connects at Jackson with
! the accommodation for Niles, which
/ train is half an hour earlier than be-
fore, thus giving the Tribune and Free
Press a fair chance TO compete, in point
of time, with the Chicago dailies. Ow-
! ing To the earlier hour of the accommo-
dation, it is impracticable for the mar
row gauge to connect with it. The
afternoon express going west stops at
Lawton, which makes the afternoon
train to South Haven an hour later, it
now leaving Paw Paw at $50. Both
the eastern and the western mail are
brought from Lawton on that train.
For some time past, the prOprietors
of Prospect Hill cemetery have been
annoyed by complaints of depredations
committed there by breaking down
ornamental shrubbery, plucking flow
ers, etc. A few days since, Misses
Myrtle and Hattie Eye, aged respect
lively ten and thirteen years, were
arrested and brought before Justice
Mason, charged with committing such
depredations. Myrtle pleaded guilty,
Hattie was discharged On recommen-
dation of County Agent Hodge, SEN
tence was suspended and the little girl
allowed TO go on promise OF future
good behavior. The managers of the
cemetery do not want TO punish any
body, especially children, but they are
determined that such acts of vandalism
shall be stopped. 1t is hoped that the
arrest of these two girls will prove a
sufficient warning and that there will
be no further trouble in this direction.
The ancient order of united work
men, benevolent and mutual insur-
ance society, was organized sixteen
years ago. 1t now numbers member
ship of about 100000 and has paid,
during its existence, over $50, 900, 600 to
the widows and orphans of its deceased
members. During the past year, 1t
admitted nearly 80, 900 persons to mem
bership and paid nearly SO, 500, 900 in
death losses. Each member of the or
ganization carries beneficiary certifi-
cate of 81, 900. The membership in this
state now numbers over $4,000. AS a
mutual insurance society, it has been q
grand success and stands at the head of
all similar institutions. Paw Paw has
a flourishing lodge of about forty mem
bers. Able bodied men between the
ages of twenty-one and fifty-no others
