Mr.. A. ID. Ferguson, proprietor of the
Lakeside Park resort, wishes it dis
tinctly understood that the dances
given there are exclusively for invited
guests. If this fact is borne in mind
there will be no occasion for misunder-
standing, 1t is especially desirable that
gentlemen receiving invitations bring
ladies with them.

The fame of the Benton Harbor fruit
packages has gone out all over the land
wherever fruit is grown for shipment,
and they probably have wider sale
than any other make. 1t will be good
news, therefore, to the fruit shippers of
this region, that Free ~ Hagerman will
keep these packages on hand for sale
during the fruit season. Leave orders
at the mill, where the packages may
be seen.
The friends and patrons of the school,
and especially the graduating class, will
be delighted that arrangements have at
last been perfected for holding COM
mencement exercises in the rink, the
lessees having submitted proposition
for its use which the board of education
felt itself warranted in accepting. We
are glad that this is so; for building of
less capacity would be inadequate to
meet the demands of the occasion.
In the course of its write-up of Me-
mortal Day, the Union City Register
has this to say: "Hon. Benz. +. Heckert
of Paw Paw held the audience for three
quarters Of an hour with one of the
most mastery literary efforts that "a
Union City audience has ever had the
pleasure of listening to. In fact, it was
one of that kind of addresses that makes
one feel that the title of an American
citizen means something more than
empty words. 1t ought TO be read by
every person, and the young men of
this community, and all others as well,
will find great profit in its perusal."
Referring to the comments in the AL
Logan Gazette of a recent date regarding
the possible action of Van Buren county
in future congressional conventions, as
outlined by Paw Paw correspondent
of the Detroit EUening Journal, we wish
to assure our contemporary that the
Republicans of Van Buren county have
neither rewards nor punishments stored
up for future delivery They went into
the Allegan convention with worthy
candidate, but failed TO get him nomi-
mated, and there the matter ended.
That convention is dead issue. We
have no desire to rake over its Goals to
see If we cannot find some embers of
discord. We closed the chapter when
we wended homeward, and proceeded
to do our duty by DR.. Thomas just as
loyalty as if he had been our choice for
the nomination, as the magnificent ma
jority we gave him amply testifies.
And the Republicans here will do just
the same every time. We understand
the value of solidarity, of Gltcays keep
ing united, and it will be noticed that
there has never been break or flaw in
the ranks of the Republican party in
Van Buren. 1t takes its medicine, if
need be, but it comes up to the fight
always with no show of weakness. In
future Republican conventions, Van
Buren county delegates will meet all
with equal friendly spirit.
