 UNION.
 -E. D. Whipple, formerly of Union, and who was appointed postmaster at Los tant, Ills, where he is a thriving mer- chant, has at the end of his term handed over the office to republican successor. The local paper, after saying good words of the new appointee, says of MT. Whip pie: "He has been popular, and has dis charged the difficult duties of his office without friction. He leaves clean record for his successor who, we doubt not, will keep and continue the same to the end of his term" We further learn that MT. W. is thriving dealer in dry goods, boots and shoes, etc., and doing booming business. He owns the store he occupies, and the paper before us says has just bought ad-
 
 85 feet on Main-st., on which he proposes to erect fine brick building.
 The following from the Geneseo Qlls.) Republic, relates to sons of the late Capt. Chauncey Paul of Union, and to cir cumstances of which we have spoken be- fore, and is of great interest to many friends and relatives in Holland County. In which connection we may say that Miss Alkaline Paul is spending the summer with her brothers at Geneseo:
 It will be remembered that in the fall of 1887 the Republic several times alluded to the mysterious disappearance of-Mr. E. G. Paul, an Iowa farmer, brother of the Pauls of this locality. After diligent search he was given up as dead, the supposition> be- ing that he was foully dealt with, as he was known to have had considerable mon- ey with him when he disappeared. The sensation caused by his disappearance has been heightened by his return. Last Sat- | urday he appeared unannounced at the residence of his brother, Liberty, in Ed ford, and has since spent the time with him and M. K., his other brother. In his wanderings during the past three years he has been in Texas, Mexico and Arizona, and not once had he heard of his relatives here or they of him. The first informa-
 
 B., was gleaned after he arrived here. He is bachelor, having no family ties to bind him to home, and, becoming dissatisfied with his surroundings, he went away with out saying anything to, anybody and re- turned when he saw fit. After he was giv- en up as dead his estate was administered upon. On hearing of this he expressed his entire satisfaction with the arrange ment, as he says he shall never return to his Iowa home. Of course the proceeds of the estate will be turned over to him. MT. M. K. Paul tells us that despite all ap- pearances he was never of opinion that his brother was dead, but he hardly expected him so soon. Years ago, before the fam fly left the old Connecticut home, another brother, M. w., left home. For time he was heard from through letters, and long after letters ceased newspapers directed in his handwriting were received, and finally he disappeared entirely, the last heard from him being papers from California. It is believed that he still lives and is somewhere on the Pacific slope, the broth CT who has just returned having heard of a party by that name out there. The brothers here are much rejoiced over the return of one who was mourned as dead and they hope to keep him here with them for some time. ~&&9
