The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-11-07
WHOLE NUMBER 1855.

We are i'm receipt of No. 3, Vol. |, of
the Missing Link, a new paper pub
lished at Glendale by A. NJ Horton.
To any who may wish To start another
paper i'm this county, we would say that
there is still i'm unoccupied, but desira-
BILE field at White Oak in this township;
also at Greasyburg, in the township Of
Arlington.
The NORTnERNER received a letter
the other day from firm in Boston,
asking it to deliver "A carload of beans
and pease in that city. We couldn't
fill the order, much rs we should have
been pleased To accommodate the gen
tlemen at the hub How i'm the world
could IA newspaper be expected to pro-
cure IA carload of beans. We are happy
when we can get enough of them TO
make moderate dish of Boston
baked"
Last Wednesday night, some miscre-
ant-and it is safe to say it was not Il
republican-cut the flag rope on the.
republican pole. Friday morning, the
pole was let down, the rope replaced,
and the Harrison Il Morton streamer
again flung to the breeze. On the pre-
vious evening, some equally reprehen-
democratic streamer and tied il into
knots. Such conduct is disgraceful and
we hope we shall not see any more of it
in our village.
Unexpected delays have occurred in
the matter of procuring the new ma
chinery for the Paw Paw mill Messrs.
Wise d Tuckey, the proprietors, are
confident, however, that they will have
f,,ll Al.
of January. 1t will have a capacity of
100 barrels per day and will be second
IN its equipments To no mill in western
Michigan. 1t is To be hoped and may
be reasonably expected, that hereafter
Paw Paw will regain some of her lost
prestige rs one of the best milling towns
in this part of the state.
We hear favorable reports concerning
our school under the management of
the new superintendent From the
present outlook, the board made no
mistake in selecting Prof Higgins to
take charge of the school. The NORTH
ERNER does not think the school will
suffer in the least from the change in
the superintendency Prof Higgins
will not only be careful not to permit
the school TO deteriorate, but will not
be satisfied with less than Il marked
improvement. Supported, as he is, by
an able corps of assistants, it is safe 10
predict that "A gratifying degree of pro-
grcss will be secured.
Thirty-seven teachers were present
for examination at the recent meeting
of the board at South Haven Thirteen
of the number obtained certificates,
four of them by reason of good work i'm
the schoolroOm, nine of them because
them because they were able to solve
the puzzles sent out by the state super
intendent. The following is list of
the names of those who passed. Luella
Ballou, l.. G. Bishop, j. A. Burger,

Bessie Delamere, Lillian M. Dean, Ber-
tha Frisbee, Wallace Loveland, Mrs l..

A bogus republican ticket was circu-
lated in this county rs early Us the
middle of last week. 1t came from the
west, perhaps from Omaha or Chica-
go (?), and was put out in the interest
of the democratic candidates for Judge
Of probate and representative. The
ticket circulated in this representative
district, contained the name of Milan
Wiggins, republican candidate for rep
resentative in the northern district,
and were all split by pasting Killefer's
name over Heckert's They early fell
into the hands of reliable republicans,
who scorned the dirty work" and
timely notice was sent to every town to
beware of the fraud
