Over forty ladies and gentlemen from
this place attended the Sc0tt-SiddOns
entertainment at LawtOn last Wednes-
day evening and they, one and all, de-
sire to thank their Lawton neighbors
for the marked cOurtesies extended tn
them on that occasion, and hope to have
the privilege some day of reciprocating
in something more substantial than
| words.
The new management of The TRUE
NORTHERNER make very pretty edi-
torial bow, but no extra promises, be-
| lieving that their work will be better
proof for the reading public than un-
fulfilled pledges. Its politics will re-
main stanchly Republican and we may
expect to see some telling articles from
the pen of its editor, Judge A. j. Mills
Bangor AdUance.
Cora Cuddeback was given decree
of divorce from her husband, George
Cuddeback, the detective, by Judge
Adsit yesterday, on the grounds of ex-
treme cruelty and non-support. Mrs.
Cuddeback is given the custody of her
child, Adna b. Cuddeback. The de-
fendant is enjoined from marrying for
two years.-G Grdnd Rapids Leader
Some people in Van Buren, county have
reason to remember this man Cudde-
back.
The first issue of the TRUE NORTH
ERNER under its new management was
received by us too late for comment in
our last issue. That paper has always had
exceptional advantages, and by reason
of these and the ability of its staff, it
has gained name and fame to be
proud of. 1t is not too much to be ex-
pected that it will in the future more than
in the past be an able exponent of sound
public policies and an advocate of pro-
gressive, public opinion.-South HaUen
Messenger.
Mrs. Lovina Robins died on the 9th
inst. of hemorrhage of the lungs at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alice
Kelly, formerly Hinckley,) in Fresno,
California, aged 81 years. The remains
arrived here Saturday, accompanied by
Claude Hinckley of Fresno and Burr
Robins, son of deceased, of Chicago,
and were buried in the Bangs cemetery
by the side of her husband. Mr.. Robins
returned to Chicago on Saturday night.
Claude will spend few days with
friends in this place and Marcellus,
when he will return to California.
Mr.. M. j. Tanning of Jackson lectured
AT the Free Baptist church last Satur-
day evening" at the Disciple church
Sunday afternoon, and at the Nj. f..
church Sunday evening A vigorously
urged collection was taken up on each
occasion 'simply to defray expenses"
but the gentleman was dissatisfied with
the result and proceeded to 'roast"
some newspaper for not giving him the
half column advertising he was accus-
toned To have; that zone paper had
given notice of his coming and one had
not" This paper gave nOtice-all the
notice it had, so he must have had
reference To the other fellow. In this
CONNECTION we would remark that all
well regulated shows and lecturers who
itlnerate for what there is in it have an
advance agent and pay for their adver
tising.
James Carpenter of South Haven, 35
years old, the owner of comfortable
home and the husband of an amiable
and devoted wife and the father of three
bright and interesting children, for the
past four weeks has been mysteriously
absent, having left home in the early
morning, telling his wife he was going
six miles into the country To collect
some money due him for work, and
since which time his distracted wife
has neither seen nor heard a word from
| him. In view of the fact that their
| home life was characterized by love and
contentment, and that the father was
ardently attached to his family, the
wife is wholly at loss to account for
his abrupt departure. She is positive
that he had not To exceed S15 in money
when he left.
Mr.. p j. Loveland, proprietor of an
extensive corn canning factory in
Taberg, Oneida county, N. Y, was in
this place Tuesday and Wednesday of
last week looking over the ground with
view of establishing like concern
here if inducements should be offered
which would warrant him in SO doing
In case of locating here he would start
plant capable of packing the corn
from 600 to 800 acres the first year, and
double or treble the amount afterwards
| if the enterprise met with favor Mr.
L. was offered inducements to establish
his works at Hartford, and on his re-
turn from Illinois in few weeks will
decide which of the two places to locate
in. Will the Business Mems association
look into this matter little? The
officers of the Savings Bank can give
full and definite particulars.
Paw Paw yesterday morning narrow
ly escaped another conflagration. Just
before seven o'clock smoke was discov-
cred issuing from under the caves and
around the cornice of the north wing of
the Dyckman House and soon flames
broke out An attempt was made to
sound an alarm, but whoever got hold
of the bell rope made such wretched
work with it that people were uncer-
tain as to the meaning of the ringing.
However, the engine was dragged out
and to the nearest hydrant, but no one
appearing who knew anything about
running it, it was thought best to assist
the hotel employees who were busy with
buckets, and thus the flames were held
partially in check for about twenty
minutes and until an engineer could be
found, when short work was made with
what little fire there was left. Forum
ately there was not breath of air in
motion, else there is no telling what the
result might have been. Standing in
