An earthquake was visiting Paw Paw.
Two separate and distinct shocks were
felt--not serious enough to do any dam
age. The telegraph wires were hot all
day with specials 10 the daily papers
concerning the earthquake, which was
felt over wide area of country, ex-
tending from Detroit to New Orleans,
the whole Mississippi valley being
shaken. No damage was done.
The art loan reception given by the
ladies of the Coterir on Monday even
ing, in the store building formerly oc-
cupied by Broughton, was well attend
ed and was one of the pleasantest social
events of all the many that have been
devised by the Coterie. The walls were
well lined with paintings, and their
number and excellence attested the
highly developed artistic taste of the
people of Paw Paw who had loaned
them for the occasion. One would
scarcely have supposed so many really
good paintings could have been found
in the village. The lace department
was especially dainty and attractive to
the ladies, and the long table of hand
painted china was doubtless the most
extensively set table ever seen in Paw
Paw. The department of antiquities
was well filled with many old and
treasured relics; among them an eX-
hibit of antique documents belonging
10 Mr.. G.. w. Young, which struck the
writer as being most noteworthy;
one of the papers was the marriage
certificate of Mr.. Young's great grand
parents, dated i'm 1926 Each visitor
was warmly welcomed by the ladies
and, after seeing the exhibits, was es-
corted to the rear of the room, where
chocolate was served.
