drawn out of the pond Saturday night

below are shut down and travel by that

land lady became SO elated over a drive
with one of the farmers down west"
as To forget 10 remove all her evening
purchases from his carriage.

In our account last week, of the re-
union exercises of Co. &, 4th cavalry,
at Lake Cora, credit was given to Mas

1t now seems probable that Paw Paw
will present the appearance of a ''de-
serted village" on the Fourth, az a very
large majority of its residents are likely
to spend the day at Lake Park and
Lake Cora. Both of these pleasant re-
sorts are making preparations for large
crowds, and promise good time to all
comers.
James Nj. Neasmth, member of the
State Board of Corrections and Chari
ties, was in Paw Paw yesterday. In
company with County Supt Chaplin, he

ance of things generally in connection

While all the graduates, from both
the High School and Grammar School,
were almost buried in flowers at their
graduating exercises, Master s. Dell

probably the recipient of the largest
quantity-his bouquets, closely packed
together, occupying twenty-five square
feet of floor space
MeSssrs. Benton d Barnes have ar
ranged with parties in Marcelus to
manufacture their patent adjustable
school seat They thought at one time
of locating in Paw Paw, but the win
ming ways of the Marcellus people cap
tured them and they have decided to
cast their lot with them. We wish the
firm abundant success in their new en-
terprise.
Complaint having been made charg-
ing James Jacobs, of Lawrence town
ship, with having kept pair of horses
i'm his barn continuously for period of
five or six years, Sheriff McFarlin and
Under-Sheriff McCabe went over last
Monday night to investigate the mat
ter. They found the charge substan-
TALLY true, Mr.. Jacobs admitting that
the horses had stood in the stalls con-
tinuously for several years. 1t is said
that Mr.. j. got very mad at these ami
mails and registered VOW that they
should never come out of their stalls
alive. 1t would seem to us that this
affords good case for trying the eff
cacy of the law providing punishment
for cruelty to animals.
