If you want clothes that will wrinkle
and bulge and draw and bag and lose

A large audience assembled at the
the Methodist church last Sunday even
ing to hear Pastor Corbett's discourse
on prison reform. The sermon was an
able one and very interesting. He took
occasion, among other things, to en-
phasiZe the need of new jail in our
own county.
The following item appeared in the
Muskegon Chronicle of Oct. II: "At
p. m. yesterday, there was reception
to the public at the city hospital, 225
Peck street. DR.. and Mrs. A. W. Hen
drck received the visitors. Dr. Hen
drick explained the work of the insti-
tuition" The doctors old Paw Paw
friends will be pleased at this evidence
The NoRTHERNER is informed that he
enjoys an excellent practice.
"Just Over" the Swedish comedy
presented at the opera house Monday
evening was greeted by fair audi
ence. The company was superior to
most of the travelling players who make
stands in small towns. The specially
work of Jas. L. McAlpin as "Yohnny
johnson" and Dollie Foster as "Jen-
ME" was clever and funny. In fact,
they are the life of the play. The bal
ance of the company could lay no pre-
tense to ability as actors. n. B.-The
"city dads" were there.
George w. Balm, the Kentucky orator
who is to deliver the last lecture of the
course this winter, is speaker of
world divide fame, and is said to have
the happy faculty of carrying his audi
ence from grave to gay, from the sub
lime to the ridiculous, as with magic
wand. "AmOng the Masses" one of his
most popular lectures, should be heard
by every lover of good things. The
third lecture of the course promises
to be of more than ordinary interest.
The speaker, Thomas Dixon DR., pastor
of the 23d street Baptist church of New
York City, comes with the most fiatter
ing concentrations from such journals
as the New York Tribune, Leslie's Has
trated and many others.
At the M. +. church, next Sunday,
there will be class meeting at 9:3O a. IN.
and public services at 1920. The official
board has formulated new plan of
finance for the ensuing year, and every
member and friend of the church is
earnestly requested to be present, as
the new plan is to be announced. The
motto for the year is, Every claim of
the church to be met in full the frat OF
every month" To carry out the plan
adopted, requires that every person in
terested be present next Sunday morn
ing to help it along. The morning
service will close with the sacrament
of the Lords supper. The Junior league
will meet at o'clock p m, the Ep-
worth league at 6 p. m. A meeting OF
the official board will be held Monday
evening; prayer meeting on Thursday
evening.
There are many farmers in this local
ty who have large crops of corn, but
they ali admit that A. G. Martin lays
over them considerably in that respect.
some high priced seed corn, and old
agriculturists laughed in their sleeves
at this waste of good money in fancy
farming by the "city farmer" They
are not laughing now, but are falling
over each other to get some seed corn
of him at 50 90 per bushel. A. G.. had
eight acres put to corn of this variety,
known as Maule's Early Mastodon, or
the Drought Killer, and will have from
|, 200 to 800 baskets of ears. This va
riety of corn originated in New Jersey,
and is appropriately termed Drought
Killer, as Mr. Martins corn received
only one light rain from the time of
planting until the crop was practically
mature, and on an upland farm at that
the place near Pugsley's Lake. Two
hundred baskets of ears to the acre is
very satisfactory, and especially so as
the ears are very large and well filled
very many of them with upwards
of 1900 kernels. 1t is no wonder
the best farmers are purchasing some
of this crop for seed corn.
The first number of the TRUE NORTH
ERNER, from which we copied the pub
lisher's salutatory in last weeks paper,
was brought to our Office by b. O'Dell.
The paper was carefully preserved by
his father, the late DR.. &. Nj. O'Dell,
during the 40 years since it was printed.
There is much other matter in it be-
sides the salutatory that would be in
teresting reading to the Paw Paw pub
lie. There is but one advertisement in
the paper, that of +. j. Houses cheap
cash store. There is an announcement
of the marriage of Joseph w. Luce,
who is still reader of the NORTH
ERNER, to Miss Martha Richmond, both
of Lafayette-now Paw Paw; Rev. Dan
iel Osborne tied the knot. There is
considerable space devoted to the build
ing of the proposed Allegan and Paw
Paw railroad. The probability of a
war with Spain is gravely discussed
almost on the eve of the great REBEL
ion, and yet the country was worried
over the prospect of foreign war, not
realizing the imminence of the danger
at home. The arrival of the steamship
America at Halifax is chronicled, to-
gether with the news of foreign lands
it bore. The Liverpool market prices
are published. Truly, newspaper files
make up a complete national history
not only of events as they transpire,
