The meeting of the several farmers
clubs of the county yesterday at Grange
Hall was decided success. The six
clubs were well represented and filled
every seat in the hall. n III. Bangs
was chosen presiding officer and G.. o.
Nash secretary. The membership of
the six clubs aggregates 206 as reported
to the secretary. The ladies of the
Free Baptist church society furnished
dinner and supper, occupying the Lee
House dining room for that purpose
The programme was very interesting
one, and the discussions following were
very instructive. No formal action
was taken looking to repetition of the
enterprise, but the sentiment SO far as
expressed favored it.
Capt. b. III. Dyckman, who died at
South Haven, was one of the pioneers
of this county He raised company

prominent resident of South Haven and
did much to advance and promote the
interests of that village. He was
man of more than average ability, gen
ial in manner and possessed of strong
personal magnetism his friends were
many and strongly attached To him.

The democratic rally held at Paw
Paw to-day "Wednesday promises to be
great big success. Eminent speakers
are present, several bands of music is
in attendance, and everything seems
favorable for an immense crowd of en-
thusiastic democrats to be present and
participate in the jollification. The
Courier which went to press about IL
o'clock this forenoon contains the above
for which reliable information it must
have drawn largely on its imagination,
for at this hour 2 p. m, no eminent"
speakers are present, and the several
bands of music" consist of bass drum,
flute and snare drum. 1t is doubt
less very difficult to enthuse when the
only crumb of comfort is the election
of Prosecuting Attorney, and that
consummation only brought about by
combination of Democrats, Patrons
of Industry and Prohibitionists.
