Last Saturday night mover named
Haynes, enroute from Illinois TO Grand
Rapids, camped on the bank of Three
Mile lake and turned his horses out TO
bait. One of them was blind and fell OF
steep bank and rolled into the lake.
OF course the animal was confused. and
instead of swimming towards shore il
struck straight out into the lake and
finally fetched up on the island where.
the oldest settlers affirm, no hoof ever
trod before. The owner pulled over to
the island with boat and towed his
horse to the mainland.
We understand that the pastor of .
church not thousand miles from Paw
Paw ascribes the prevailing drouth to
the righteous anger of the Lord toward
His people for their presumption in
endeavoring to produce rain by bonn
harding the skies. Unbelievers are in
the habit of charging the Christian
Savior with all sorts of misdemeanors,
but this is the first instance on record
OF an orthodox minister charging Him
with indulging in school-boy quarrels
and attempting to 'get even" with His
erring children. Verify, the world do
move.

MRS. MAIY ANN ANDREWS.

Died, at her home in this village on
Tuesday afternoon, Aug 2S, Mrs Mary
Ann Andrews, relict of the late DR..
Josiah Andrews.
Mary Ann Dickinson was born i'm
Batavia, N. Y. She came to Paw Paw
in 1916 and married DR.. Andrews in
1847. DIR. and Mrs. Andrews passed
their entire married life, except about
the first year, in the residence on Main
street where both died. There were
born to them three children-Lewis d.,
who died in 1877, Mary f., who died in
1875, and Emily c., wife of Hon. Geo.
S. Baker. DR.. Andrews died Aug Goth,
1886, exactly eight years and two days
before Mrs. Andrews.
After the anxieties incident to the
absence of her husband in the army for
four years, Mrs. Andrews first great
sorrow was the death of her daughter
Mary. Her friends noticed a marked
change in her after that event, from
which she never fully recovered-the
heavy burden of that great grief being
her inseperable companion. Her most
marked characteristic was her devoted
attachment to her home and friends.
Her last days were almost painless.
She died of old age-a gradual wearing
out of all the vital powers, rather than
of any disease. A devoted wife and
mother, loyal friend, generous
neighbor, beloved, honored, respected
by all, has gone TO her reward.
The funeral was from the late home
yesterday afternoon, Rev. III. w. Har-
vey, assisted by Rev. h. Warren, offici-
ating. Burial in the family lot at Pros
pect Hill.

There is a reaper whose name is Death
And he, with a sickle keen,
Reaps the bearded grain at breath
And the flowers which bloom between.
Since the last issue of this paper the
sombre shadow of a great grief has
fallen upon four homes in this village,
and the ripened grain, the matured
plant. and the tender budding flower
alike have gone down before the chill
ing breath of the destroyer.
JOHN sM0LK,
John Smolk, one of Paw Paws oldest
and best known citizens, joined the 81.
lent majority at three O'Clock last Sat
urday afternoon.
Deceased was born at Lyons, N. Y,
Nov. z, 1916, where he lived until he
was twenty years of age, at which time
he came to Michigan with his fathers
family, settling near Schoolcraft, where,
on the following year, he married
Fannie Sebring, sister of the late Horace
Sebring of Bangor, who survives him.
Three years later, in 1910, they came
to Paw Paw. Shortly afterwards he
was appointed postmaster at this place
by President Van Buren. In 1874 he
was elected sheriff of this county and
served one term. In January, 1S47, he
was appointed sation agent for the M.
CIR. at Lawton, being the first agent
at that station. He served in this ca
pacity seven years, when he resigned
and engaged in the lumber business
with Wise Il Dyckman at Pine Grove
and Mattawan. Returning TO Paw Paw
in 1860, he built the Dyckman House
and managed it one year, when he re-
tired to his farm three miles east of
Paw Paw, where he resided until his
health began to fail, about five years
ago, when he came back to the village
to spend his declining years.
Uncle John" as he was Familiarity
called, was an uncompromising Demo-
crat of the old school, and possessed the
courage to maintain his convictions at
any time and on all occasions. But his
political zeal cost him no friends, for he
was universally esteemed by as wide a
circle of acquainta ice as falls to the lot
of most men to acquire. He was a char
ter member of Paw Paw lodge No %,
+. & A. NJ, under the auspices of which
organization he was. buried. Funeral
from the late home Monday afternoon,
Rev. A. G. Jones officiating; interment
at Prospect Hill.
He leaves behind the bride of his early
manhood-she who had walked by his
side for fifty-seven years, and three
children-Mrs Mary Talcott and Abram
Smolk, of this place. and Mrs o. NJ
Hilton of Denver, Colorado.

TO APPROPRIATE FOR PENSIONS.

The Subcommittee of the House Committee
onsApprOpriatiOns having in charge the prepa-
ration of the hill appropriating money for the
payment of pensions due in the year ending
June3 1896, heard Commissioner Lochren in
advocacy and explanation of his estimates for
that yea: at the Capitol last week. As the re-
suit of the conference it was announced by
Chairman O'Neill that the Sub Committee
would report to the full committee a bill appro-
priating for pensions $4,000 GOO, and for other
expenses 81, 381 600.
The Commissioner stated that in the fiscal
year ended June 80 1894 the sum paid out for
pensions was $l39 S04 46l, which was less than
the amount appropriated by S25 205.7l3. The
estimates for pensions proper in 1895, 96 is
the same the amount paid last year, and
$4,000, 900 less han the estimate for this year.
In the year 1895, it was stated By Commits
soner Lochren, 80 years after the close of the
war, the pensiop-roll must in the course OF
nature reach its highest limit in numbers, and
thereafter begin to decrease. The falling off
in the presentation of claims was shown by the
fact that the number of claims pending in the
Bureau had decreased upward of 80 600 during
the year. The large proportion of new claims
filed are for increase by pensioners now on the
rolls New claims, well proved and of easily
recognized merit. were still being filed by de-
serving soldiers who had long RETAINED from
asking Government bounty, and by widows
aud dependents of such so diers. In 1891 the
numbr of claims filed was 1863 799; in 1894,
40
