Mrs +. Nol'ine Law, state organizer
of the w. G.. Il. u, lectured before an
immense audience at the First Baptist
church in this place Sunday evening.
Mrs. Law is woman of magnetic pres
ence, clear, forcible speaker, and
her whole soul is engrossed in the grand
work of temperance. Monday afternoon
she met The ladies at the parlors of the
NJ. +. church and formed Young
Womans Christian Temperance Union
with a very good membership. Mon
day evening Mrs. Law gave an elecu-
tionary entertainment, at the same
place, which is highly spoken of by
those who enjoyed it.
The Paw Paw Electric Light and
Power Co. is the title of the enterpris-
ing corporation which proposes to light
our village by the mysterious fluid.
The company have their buildings near
ly fitted for putting in the machinery,
and as soon as the latter arrives il will
be placed in position. The power will
be furnished by a 60-horse turbine
wheel and if this is not sufficient an ad-
ditional one will be provided. The
poles will probably be set within the
next two weeks and things will be
pushed as fast as the weather allows.
The Woodman Mfg. Co. will move into
the Electric Co.'S building AS soon as
possible.
Rev. G.. p. Linderman closed his pas
torate with the Stevens Ave. Free Bap-
tist church of Minneapolis, Mimi, last
Sabbath evening, and returns to Mich
igan. A large congregation was pres
ent to hear his farewell words, and many
expressions of regret were heard at his
departure. When after a most solemn
prayer, the benediction had been pro-
nounced, the choir sung God be with
you till we meet again" and the audi
ence seemed To JOIN in the prayer.
Brother Linderman has won warm
place in the hearts of many during his
stay in Minnesota.-MinnedaoiiS Free
Baptist.
Every holder of lecture ticket may
confidently anticipate rare intellect
ual feast on next Friday evening. Ma
jor Henry G. Dane, naturally an earnest
observer and man of singularly quick
perception, having IN early life intensi
fled these qualities by practicing at the
bar, and later by serving his country
during the great rebellion. has since di-
vided his time between travel and the
public platform, where he has won an
enviable reputation as an orator and
lecturer. World wide traveller as he is,
he was profoundly astonished at the
variety and beauty of the New Zealand

country alone, where he has not only
visited every spot reached by railway
or steamer, but also travelled nearly a
thousand miles by carriage, conversing
with all sorts and conditions of men,
and making careful study of the ply
steal and social conditions; so that his
lecture is not merely series of magniti-
cent descriptions, but is interspersed
with those conclusions regarding the
settlement and development of this re-
markable country, which a man of as
tute judgment and so wide an expert
ence, is well calculated to form correct
ly. He speaks entirely without notes
and referring to his Oratorical ability,
DR.. Hedley said, His descriptive pow
ers are phenomenal" Add to this the
fact that New Zealand is practically an
unknown land and that he is full of en-
thusiasm over his subject and it seems
impossible that anyone should fail To
gain much of profit and pleasure from
this lecture.
