/ u"Vio nc ilco III ABOUT the same cOndi-
tion as for the past week. He has some
little use of the muscles of the right
SIDE, but can speak only in an indis-
tlnct whisper. His son Charley, from
Chicago, came last Friday, and stayed
till Monday.
A number of the young friends of
Erwin Is. Taft surprised that young
gentleman by appearing at his home
last Friday evening To spend few Jolly
hours before their host should leave for
Kalamazoo 10 attend the Baptist col
lege there. The attempt was success
Iul ana at seasonable time the party
merrily dispersed.
The Cleveland Bay Horse Co. and
Mr.. Edison Woodman, both of this
place, had large herds of horses, the
former of Cleveland Bays and the lat

Both herds are large premium winners,

A large party of the friends of Rev.

parsonage Monday evening to bid good

to leave the next morning for confer

The Dowagiac Republican changed
hands on the lst inst, Messrs. Chas. L.
Amsden and j. o, Becraft purchasing
the plant and taking immediate posses
sion. Under this management the Re-
publicans of the Fourth congressional
district need no assurance that the
journal will continue steadfast in the
faith of the party. THE NORTHERNER
gladly welcomes Messrs Amsden and
Becraft to the journalistic field.
Our people were shocked to hear of
the sudden death of Frank Pritchard,
which occurred at few minutes past
six O'Clock this morning. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pritchard attended social at the resi-
dence of l.. c. Hurd last evening, and
deceased was in the most exuberant
spirits-indeed, the very life of the as
semblage. They retired at about IL
o'clock. At 6 this morning Mrs p found
HIM unconscious, and in few minutes
he was dead Deceased was member
of the G. A. r. and highly respected.
Mrs. Richard Setchtield writes us
from Redlands, California, under date
of Aug. 3lst., giving graphic but brief
description of her journey from Paw
Paw to that place; of how, when arriv-
ing at Denver, she heard of a washout
on the road ahead and that there was
danger, so she went to an insurance
office and had her life insured for $4,000,
thus making a sure thing of getting
through safely; of losing her train and
party at San Francisco and having to
make the balance of the journey alone;
of her finally safe arrival at Redlands
and finding her friends without difficult
ty; of the pure, health giving atmos-
phere of the Pacific coast; the grand
mountain scenery; the evidence of thrift
and prosperity on every hand apparent,
and that herself and Bessie were well
and enjoying themselves to the utmost.
We believe our school board and the
patrons of the school were very fortunate
indeed in securing the services of Prof.
Roberts for the coming year. The Prof.
has very able assistants in the several de-
partments and the outlook is all that
could be desired. No better evidence
of the Professors high standing among
educators could be given than the fact
that he was recently elected to the
Principalship of the Tacoma High
Schools at salary of $500, with the
assurance of raise next year To two
thousand and strong probability of the
Superintendency in the near future at
a much higher salary. He was inclined
at first to ask release from our board,
but after careful survey of the situa-
ton, and realizing the difficulty likely
To be met with in an effort to secure a
successor, he decided not to do so.
The Free Baptist services on Sunday
last had the appearance of an April
day with its sun and rain, for it.was the
day that preceded the going out of six
of the young people of the congrega-
tion-fve young men and one young
lady-to new duties and new friends
Five of them go into Hillsdale college
and one assumes the position of principal
in the Gobleville schools. One other
young man had already engaged in
business in Chicago, thus reducing the
ranks of the church and diminishing its
force, for nearly all were active mem
