OUR NEW CHARTER.
General Law for Incorporation of vii
lagos has been Adopted.

General Law for Incorporation of VII
lagos has been Adopted.
The legislature has passed and the
governor has signed the bill for the
general incorporation of villages, and
the same took effect on Monday last
all special and general village charters
being repealed. This brings Paw Paw,
and every incorporated village as we'll
under the provisions of the new law.
Among the changes from our former
charter that are of special interest are
the following:
The village election is made to occur
on the second Monday in March i'm each
year instead of the first Monday as
heretofore, and the polls are to be
open from Z a. IN. TO p. m. The
village board of registration is to be in
session the Saturday preceding election
from . a. m. to s p. m.
The village council is composed of
the same officials as before. We will
in the future have village clerk
instead of recorder, and one assessor
instead of two. The treasurer is made
the collector of village taxes, instead Of
the marshal, which is exactly as it
should be, the treasurer being the Off
cal who is accountable for the safety
OF the village 1unuS.
The marshal and street commissioner
are to be appointed by the president,
subject to approval by the council, and
may be removed from office by the
president. The compensation of the
village officials is to be fixed by the
council.
Among the specific powers of the
council are found the suppression of
;nl III lf
the state under system of local option
by virtue of their charters, and the Ii
censing of auctioneers, transient mer
chants, hucksters, peddlers, etc,
power which has in measure been
assumed by councils in the past; but
the fees demanded for such licenses
have not heretofore been collectible If
any protest was made, rs has frequently
been the case This feature is a just
one, and will meet the appreciation OF
all village merchants.
As to taxation, the council is author
lied to levy not to exceed II per cent
for the general fund-an increase of the
former limit, and also ! per cent for
highway and street purposes, besides
being permitted To raise I per cent for
the purchase of a cemetery Ga provision
not likely To be applicable to Paw Paw,
to levy 5-nill tax for interest on
bonds and for sinking fund, and also
some special assessments that have no
local application or interest. The char
ter also authorizes villages, by two
thirds vote, to bond tn the amount of
five per cent of the assessed valuation
for waterworks, and also TO the same
amount for electric lights.
Taken rs whole, the new charter will
be found an improvement over the old +,
and it will be convenient to have all
Michigan villages under the same char
ter provisions

GEN. G.. L. EATON DEAD.
Our Esteemed Townsman Suddenly sun
moned while at Detroit.

DetTott.
The people of this community were
shocked and grieved to learn Wednes-
day afternoon of the sudden death of
their respected townsman, Gen. Chas.
l.. Eaton, who died in the city of De-
troit, at the residence of Albert Pack,
Esq, during the progress of the funeral
of the late Hon. Greene Pack. General
Eaton left Lansing in the morning in
company with party of representa-
tives and other state officers To attend
the funeral of his friend Mr.. Pack. He
appeared TO be in his usual health and
neither himself nor his friends had
any premonition of his sad fate. The
general was sitting near the casket
when the blow fell upon him. The
services were nearly concluded and the
preacher was offering the closing
prayer, when the general suddenly be-
gan to gasp for breath. His friends,
observing that something serious was
the matter, at once removed him from
the room and summoned medical aid,
but to no avail, as death followed with
in very few minutes-iust as the final
requiem was being sung.
Mrs. Eaton was at Lansing, where
she received the sad news by telephone
General Eaton had long been resi-
dent of this county and for quite a
number of years had been a prominent
business man of this community and
had large circle of warm friends here
He was formerly principal of the Mat
tawan public school, had been pros

in Paw Paw, and for several years wa:

He was prominent figure in the re
publican party of this county and an in

X. Watkins of Hartford, Feb. %, 1895,
Mr.. George Roper of Paw Paw to Miss
Martha Littrick of Bangor, Rev "a ames
Watkins of Hartford, officiating.
George Sherrod. who died suddenly
at his home near Lake Cora on the
21st, was born in 1924 in Erie county,
Pa. He came to Michigan in 1881 and
was married in the same year to Mar
lila M. Kellogg, who survives him.
There were five children born to them,
four of whom are living. Mr.. Sherrod
was one of the pioneers of Van Buren,
county and ~ the earliest times took
an active interest in the affairs of the
community He was many years
member of the Disciple church, and
after life of steady usefulness he died
in his seventy-fOurth year, having en-
joyed the unbrOken respect and esteem
of all who knew him. The funeral
services at the home on the cath were
conducted by Rev j. II. Hammond of
Decatur; burial at the Lyle cemetery.
A very pleasant wedding occurred at
the residence of Mr.. Alexander Jones
of Lawton, Friday evening. February
22d, the high contracting parties being
his daughter Maggie and Frank j.
Stanton of Lawton. There were about
forty-iive guests present, among whom
were quite number of Paw Paw peo-
Pile. The ceremony was performed by
Rev H. l.. Rood of Lawton. Two
small nieces of the bride acted as
flower girls and Miss Mabel Ball of
Hartford and Mr.. Lew Jones of Kal-
amazoo, brother of the bride, stood
up with the young couple. After the
congratulations an elegant supper was
served. The presents were numerous
and beautiful. Conspicuous among the
silver was a gift from friend and
neighbor of his own workmanship, con-
sisting of chopping knife, "A pancake
turner and toasting fork, which will be
highly priced. The company dispersed
with many kind wishes and all agreed

A LOCAL OPTION ELECTION
Will Probably he Called = Petitions Files
and Supervisors Summoned.

Will Probably he Called - Petitions Filed
and Supervisors Summoned.
On Saturday last, the expected local
option petitions were filed in the office
of the county clerk. There were 2,3il
names on the several petitions, many
more than one-fourth of the number of
votes polled at the last general cleo
ton, but there were defects in compli-
ance with the statute that were found
by the clerk on an inspection of the pc
titions that reduced the number to l.,
523, Just 20 in excess of the required
number.
The principal defect was found 10y
comparing the poll lists with the petit
tions. Every petition contained names
not on the accompanying noll list, va
rying in number from two in Pine
Grove to l5S in South Haven, althouga
each of the persons circulating the pc
ttions made oath that the names were
names of electors on such poll lists.
The township of Antwerp returned
no poll list, claiming that it could not
be procured, and that township is cred
on its petition The NoRTHERNER
has compared such petition with the
poll list of that township and finds 75
names on the petition that do not APP
pear on the poll list. This would have
reduced the number below the point
authorizing the clerk to call the board
together. No poll list accompanied the
Hamilton petition, but it was sent in al
terward. The petition from Hamilton
was the smallest of all, containing but
10 names. The largest petition came
from South Haven and contained 344
names. The Arlington clerk did not
comply with the statute, sending GER
titled copy of his election register in
stead of the poll list. The 115 petition
ers from that township were rejected
by the county clerk in making up his
computation. There are some other
errors that will come before the board
of supervisors for consideration and de-
termination.
County Clerk Squier has issued his
call for special meeting of the board
commencing on Wednesday, March IL,
at 10 o'clock a. m. At such meeting the
supervisors will pass upon the sufii.
cheney of the petitions and determine
whether or not an election shall be
called From their decision on that
matter there is no appeal.

ed from time to time by the addition of
fresh stars, is preserved and will con-
tinue to be kept by the Secretaries OF
War and the Navy. In the War De-
partment at Washington, close by Sec
rotary Lamont's office, is displayed in a
glass casethe trueregulationflag Of this
country. To exhibit it better it is il
Illuminated by a brilliant electric light.
This is the original; all others must be
limitations or else they are not correct.
In the military and naval service of
the United States many patterns of
minor flags are employed. For exam
ple in the army there are very pretty
Standards so-called, and ''guidons"
for artillery and cavalry. The navy
has ever so many sorts of flags, some
of them being especially designated for
the use Of blue jackets on shore, when
they are serving as troops for the time
being. Just at present complete
change is being made in the flags of the
army. New designs for them are be-
ing executed and some of these have
not been finished vet. The patterns are
being prepared by draughtsmen in the
War Department, under the supervis-
ion of Secretary Lamont. One novelty
is that in future each cavalry regiment
will have one national flag. Hitherto
that arm of the service, strangely
enough, has not possessed an edition Of
the Stars and Stripes.
The War Department has already adj
vertised for bids to furnish an entire
outfit of flags OH the new patterns for
the army. They will cost quite Il big
sum of money. For instance, a regi-
mental flag of silk cannot be bought
for less than $3.50. This is much more
expensive than the regulation Stars
and Stripes, for the national ensign in
silk comes at about $50 for the large
size required. The flags used in the

Already it has been determined just

AS has been said, Utah will occupy

the only territories remaining availa-

The Firm Survived

[ heard a clerk once in large drap-
er's shop, who was smart and quick
and a splendid manager, but he got
swelled head, and put ON consequential
airs. Once he took occasion to say to
his associates that the concern couldn't
get along successfully without him.
So the old gentleman who was the
senior partner called him into the Of
flee one day and said:
'Mr. jerks, you have been very eff
Gent, and we appreciate your services,
but [ hear that you have repeatedly
asserted that if you were to die the
business couldn't possibly survive it,
and this has worried me considerably.
for you, like all men, are liable to die
very unexpectedly, and so we have
concluded to experiment while we are
all In health and see if the concern will
survive. So you will please consider
yourself dead for one year, and draw
no salary for thai time, and we will
try it.''-Tid-Bits
