ChiIdren's Day was observed at the
Free Baptist the Methodist and the
PRESBYTERIAN churches last Sunday with
appropriate exercises. The churches
were each elegantly decorated with
plants and flowers and all the audi

recitations and music were very fine
and reflected credit on both pupils and
teachers. A generous sum was realized
for the missionary cause.

sular, at Lake Cora, has been making

friends in the Chicago railroad offices

recommendations are well deserved.
Paw Paw people will be amused at
the account of the way three highway
men didn't succeed in holding up Frank
Rawson at Kalamazoo. They tackled
the wrong man. The following is taken
from the Kalamazoo NeCS: Three
men tried to- hold up Frank Rawson of
the Brook farm "Wednesday night about
IL o'clock. One of them is in jail with
a smashed head and the sheriff is look
ing for the Others. Mr. Rawson was
driving home, and when near the South
Haven tracks man sprang out of the
darkness and grabbed at the bride of
his horse RaWson struck him some
terrible blows with his whip and sue
ceeded in getting away and driving to
the farm. There he got boy and went
back. The three highwaymen were
nearly where he first met them. Tell.
ing the boy TO hold the horse he jumped
out and tackled the crowd. There was
hard fight for several minutes when
Rawsou got one of the men in limbo
and into his carriage. He held him and
the boy drove and they landed their
man safely in Jail. There the captured
highwayman was recognized as Gull
Patterson Of Plainwell, who is said to
