The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-12-26


i'm holiday goods, owing, in large de-
gree, To their liberal advertising Mr..
BrOughtOn remarked to us few days
since that he realized the benefit he
was deriving from his advertising more
and more every day.
Bear in mind that the NoRTHENERR
is fully equipped for doing all kinds of
job-work. We have full line of new
samples from which To select, and
prices will be according To quality of
stock and style of work done-reasona-
BILE in all cases. There is no need for
anyone to send away for any kind of
printing they may need.
We venture to suggest that 1t would
be good plan for all who are indebted
to the NoRTHERNER To call and settle
up, and then, what would still be bet
ter, pay years subscription in adj
vance. There is nothing in the world
that will give man more satisfaction,
better appetite and enable him to
sleep better o. nights, than to know
that he is square with the printer.
That our readers may not be misled
by our last weeks report of the pro-
ceedings of the circuit court, we deem
il but matter of simple justice to Col.
Hawkins to state that the amount of
alimony fixed was the voluntary offer
of Mr.. III. and the money had been ac-
tually paid to Mrs. Hawkins six months
before the decree, which simply ratified
a mutual agreement between the par
ties
w. p. Sutton, formerly of Hartford in
this county, has been u. S. consul at
Matamoras, Mexico, for quite IA good
many years at a salary of 81 900 per
annum. The house committee on for
eign affairs has reported bill reduc-
ing the salary of that Office TO 81 900,
which will probably become law and,
as matter of course, will not be an
agreeable piece of legislation for MIR.
Sutton.
Among the many former Paw Paw
people who returned to spend Christ
mas with their friends, we noticed Mr..
and Mrs. Ed. Darling of Detroit, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Davey Of Quincy, j.
+. Dunning of Bay City, Fred. Rich
ardson of Detroit, G. l.. Fitch of Grand
Rapids, Mrs. w. H. and Miss Ada Ran
dall of Kalamazoo, Eli Bierce of Kala-
mazoo, Mr.. Will. Miller of Illinois,
Frank Van Ness of Kalamazoo, Guy f.
Harrison of Chicago.
Remember the pleasing and instruct
i've lectures of Koli ). Thabue, at the
First Baptist church, on Friday and
Saturday evenings of this week Mr.
Thabue has on exhibition Burmese GU
riosities and costumes; farm, mechan-
ical and domestic implements brought
directly from his native country, and
will give an entertaining description of
their uses, as well as an instructive ac-
count of his country, its people, their
religious and social customs, an anus
ing description of their language, etc
Entertainment begins at eight o'clock.
DR.. Maynard has recently procured a
new manikin, the most complete and
instructive thing of the kind that we
ever saw. 1t was made after a plan de-
vised by the celebrated surgeon, Dr.
Frank Hamilton. A student of anato-
my and physiology can gain more
knowledge and information from il in
very brief time than he can IN months
of study of the books. Indeed, it is
practically impossible to gain from
reading so complete an idea of the
wonderful way in which man is made
as is disclosed by an examination of
such a work. The Dr. will exhibit it
at the school for the benefit of the
pupils.
The Sunday school concert at the
Christian church last Sunday evening
passed off very pleasantly. The pupils
did honor to themselves and to their
teachers. The programme was listened
TO by n large audience, which mani
tested its appreciation by "A liberal con
tribution, at the close of the exercises,
for the benefit of the school. A little
flutter of excitement was caused by the
fear that the floor was settling on ac-
count of the great weight upon it. The
audience was requested, as they were
dismissed, TO retire quietly and SO avoid
danger. The supports of the building
have been examined and all danger, if
any existed, has been removed.
A visit TO w. H. Pomeroys stables
reveals the fact that he is making ex-
tensive preparations for his new enter
prise, "The Western World" He has
large number of horses and mules,
some very fine ones, besides the ami
mails comprising his fancy stock and
which are being trained in the special
ties assigned them. The exhibition Mr..
p. proposes to give will be fine expo
sition of life on the border, and we
know of no one better qualified TO man
age and control such an enterprise. Fa-
miliar, as he is, with the scenes of life
in the far west; possessed, as he is, of a
large degree of executive ability and
'goaheadativeness," he is well adapted
for the new business that he has in
preparation and should be able to make
il grand success.
