WHOLE NUMBER 2O77.

Emmett Northrup happened to get too
close TO pipeman at the Dyckman
House blaze last Saturday morning and
received hard thump on his cheek
from the nozzle and got the stream full
in his face. One eye was quite badly
injured.
Mr. &. Tromp, the photographer, has
closed up his business here and gone to
Schoolcraft. During his stay of seven
or eight months in this place MIR. Troinp
has made many warm friends. His busi-
ness methods are correct; personally he
is every inch gentleman, and practi-
cally the finest artist in his line ever In
this place. We cheerfully commend
him To the favorable consideration of
our ncighbors over on the prairie.
Governor Rich has reappointed Gen'l
Charles L. Eaton of this place adjutant
general. While this action on the part
of the governor was considered almost
as a matter of course, yet the announce
ment was received here with much sat
isfactiOn. Other gubernatorial appoint
ments of loca! interest in this section
are those of Hon. &. j Monroe of South
Haven To be member of the state board
of agriculture for six years, and Edwy
T.. Reid of Allegan member of the board
of trustees of the Michigan asylum for
the dangerous and criminal insane.
Our people were startled Tuesday
afternoon on learning that Amos II.
Palmer, well known and esteemed
citizen, had died instantly while sitting
in chair at Butler Il Cutters farm i'm
plement depot. He had taken his
dinner as usual, and shortly after one
~. nd of in
as good health as he ever was, and in
less than two hours was brought back
a corpse. Those sitting near him at the
time noticed peculiar gurgling sound
i'm his throat and thought he was
chuckling over something that had been
said, but on looking towards him they
saw his head drop forward. He was at
once carried to the open air, but was
dead. Drs. Maynard and Critchlow
were at his side within five minutes
and decided it to be apOplexy. De-
ceased was 81 years old and leaves
wife and one son. He was prominent
and active member of Paw Paw Lodge
No. 25, +. Il A. NJ, under the auspices
of which organization his funeral will
be conducted by Rev. w. G.. Mccarthy
of LawtOn, assisted by Mrs. Barton, at
the Disciple church at p. m. to-day.
Referring to an item in the last issue
of this paper with regard to the two
Baptist churches of this place, Mrs.
Barton hands us the following for pub
lication: "A friend of both Baptist
churches, fearing lest the statement in
last weeks Northerner might convey
the impression that the Baptist people
had been hard and unjust IN their de-
mands upon their sister church, takes
the liberty accorded by the Northerner
to correct that impression. The work
ers in these two churches have fully ap-
preciated each other and enjoyed each
others confidence, and the separation
was a cause of genuine regret To many
on both sides. But there were interests
which demanded the allegiance of the
Free Baptist church To its denomina-
! tion, and sense of its responsibility in
assisting to carry ont the plans arranged
by the denomination made its loyalty
/ Imperative and after careful consider
alton it was decided that the steps nee
essary To an independent organization
could not be safely taken, since they
involved so great a sacrifice. 1t is with
the kndest feelings of regard towards
each other that those who have worked
! together since one year ago last july
resume their separate duties, hoping
the fellowship may continue and that
both churches may grow and prosper. y
