WHOLE NUMBER 1919


Mrs Henry Hopping reached home
Christmas eve nearly tired out with her
labors i'm her daughters sick room.
She left Mrs. Huyck apparently on the
sure road tn convalescence, though still
unable To sit up and improving very
slowly.
Ed Bullard came over from Niles to
have good time with the Paw Paw
boys and girls, but his fun received
sudden quietus on Monday night when
the grip suddenly clutched him, and he
is now at ID. w. Hurlbuts under the
doctors care.
Seth Allen and family spent Christ
mas at Lawton at j. Bishops home and
Seth was calling on friends here on Sat
urday. His new position in VIM. Hills
machine shop ut Kalamazoo, seems
very satisfactory and he expects to
move his family there soon.
Miss Ella Harris, assistant in the
Hartford high school, has been com
PEELED to resign her position on account
of poor health; and much urging, to-
gether with an advance of salary TO $50
per month, has induced Mrs w. v.
Sage TO fill her former place in the
school.
We swung around the circle of
churches on Christmas eve and found
all carrying out the programmes as an
nounced and every one looking happy
The Free Baptist pyramid was one of
the finest devices for exhibiting pres
ents we ever have seen, and the huge
Methodist tree was model of sym
metry and beauty.
The following clipping from the Hart
ford Day Spring furnishes an example
in the way of punctuality that might
well be emulated in our own town:
1T is Il fact worthy of mention that
hardly person of the large audience
present ut French's lecture came i'm
after the lecture began. The speaker
spoke complimentary words concerning
the punctuality, the quiet behavior, and
the attention of the audience"
John b. Dillon, who has been in the
employ of the St. Louis IL Iron Noun
tain railroad at ST. Louis, last August
took the civil service examination, and
passed so satisfactory an inspection
that he has been awarded position as
postal clerk with salary of $500 per
annum to start with and an increase 10
be determined by the ability shown.
We think it safe to say that John will
make it pay well. His beat is between
st. Louis and Texarcana.
The annual installation of officers at
the Masonic Lodge last Saturday even
ing was followed by pleasant ceremo-
ny in recognition of the faithful services
of +. +. Parks and Ella Curtiss The
former having been Master for five
years, was presented by j +. Chandler,
in behalf of the Blue Lodge, with
beautiful Past Masters jewel, while
Judge Heckert performed the same
duty for the Chapter by rendering
| fine, gold-headed cane to Mr.. Curtisr,
who has acted rs High Priest for the
past five years.
Hon. A. G.. Glidden left yesterday oa
a very important business trip, far more
important than any thing connected
with the grange Visitor or Farmers In
stitutes i'm fact, it was nothing less
than the taking unto himself of n wife
in the person of Miss NJ Louetta Bick-
nell, teacher in the Union school at
Cedar Springs, her fathers home. There
is to be quiet home wedding on this
| (Wed.) evening at $50, after which the
newly welded pair will come to Grand
Rapids and arrive here on Friday. The
real wedding tour will be the southern
editorial excursion, and we trust that
trip, and the journey of life as WELL may
be fraught with bOundless pleasure for
Mr. and Mrs. Glidden.
