A good place to get good bath is
is the Maple City Home, where DR..
Hendrick has made extensive arrange.
ments for administering baths of all
kinds. 1t has been our privilege to
sample these, and especially the Turk
ish baths. They are splendid, making
one feel like a new being, and we going
there again. The facilities are ex-
cellent for both ladies and gentlemen-
everything being in the best of style.
Local option is doomed in Van Bu-
rem county 1t has been on trial among
our neighbors for over two years and
has not proved the success which many
expected. Van Buren, county has no
cities nor large towns, and the open
saloons are few and far between: but,
if the testimony of reliable citizens
counts for anything, secret rum-holes
abound almost everywhere and drunk
enness is even more prevalent than it
was under the license system.-DoWd-
giac Times.
Paw Paw can be pardoned for feeling
a local pride in the nomination by the
Saginaw convention of Prof. +. A.
Wilson, superintendent of our public
schools, for member of the state board
of education. Hon. G.. l.. Eaton pre-
sented Mr.. Wilson's name to the con-
vention, and we are told that the NOM
mating speech was equally creditable
to Mr.. Eaton and complimentary to his
subject. Such gentlemen as these are
an honor to the community in which
they live, and Van Buren, county is
proud of them.
