at the sheriff's barn. He skipped, but

In letter TO the NoRTHERNER, Mrs.
Cora ID. Martin of Lansing speaks of
a pleasant outing she enjoyed last sum-
mer at the mountains and sea shore
with eastern friends, and says that in

TO all her many friends in this place.
Village Treasurer Bullard returned
to the county treasurer 1922 of uncol-
lected taxes. Such returned taxes will
now have to be paid at the office of the
county treasurer; if not so paid, the
lands against which the assessment was
made will be advertised and sold.
Somebody may be surprised one of these
days at finding his property held by
virtue of tax title.
Mrs. Mary Jewett Telford, president
of the W.C.T.U. of Colorado, made
short visit at the home of IL w. McCabe
while on her way home from Baltimore.
Mrs. TelfOrd was formerly Michigan
girl, and was appointed by Gov. Blair

The ladies of the Coterie have decided
to sell season tickets, good for the re-
naming three lectures Of the course.
The ladies, in response to the desire of
our people, have arranged course of
four lectures at an expense of upwards
of $500, and the sale of season tickets
has not yet been sufficient to defray the
expense. We believe all are interested
in the success of the course, and that
many will purchase tickets for the lee
lures yet to come at the very low price
of rs cents-25 cents for each evenings
entertainment.
The November term of the circuit
court will open next Monday, but ju-
rors will not be in attendance until
week later. The calendar is light, con-
tanning but thirtyseven cases, as fol-
lows: IL criminal cases, II issues of
fact and 12 chancery cases. The Grim
inal cases consists of one bastardy, one
exposing poison, one obstructing rail
road track, one burglary, three assaults
and four violations of local option law.
All of the latter class of cases are from
South Haven. Five of the chancery
suits are divorce cases and five are
mortgage foreclosures.
"The Twentieth Century Woman"
first of the Coterie course, was delivered
at LongwelPs opera house last Saturday
evening, by John Temple Graves. A
large audience assembled to hear the
noted speaker, expecting an enjoyable
and profitable evening, and they were
not disappointed. Mr. Graves thinks
woman has just fairly entered on the
great work she is destined to accom-
plish for the advancement of the race.
Two kinds of women, however, he does
not like: those who wear bloomers and
those who wear decollette dresses. If
any criticism were to be passed on the
speaker, il would be that he had not
yet got his discourse thoroughly COM
mitted to memory and had to refer too
often to his manuscript
The following additional licenses to
hunt deer, making 50 in all, have been
issued by the county clerk: Ira Hoard,
b. w. Payne, II. Nj. Warner, Fred War
ner, Irving Warner, Wilson Dell, Nor
man Dell, Samuel Buskirk, M. ID. Bus
kirk, j. G.. Worthington, A Nj. Worth
ington and Charles Kinser. The last
three licenses were issued to South
Haven parties, and when they arrived
at the clerks office not single blank
license remained. This necessitated
the sending of special messenger to
Kalamazoo. Clerk Forbes kindly fur
nished the requisite blanks, and at a
late hour in the evening the applicants
were duly invested with legal author
ity to slay five deer apiece, provided
they get an opportunity to do so.
The legislature at its last session set
tied the vexed question concerning
compensation of county treasurers for
tax certificates required to entitle deeds
TO registration. The fee is fixed at
twenty-five cents for each certificate to
be paid by the party obtaining the
same. Under the law, as originally
passed, county treasurers charged
prices to suit themselves until the su-
preme court sat down on that practice,
holding that no charge whatever could
be legally made. Since that time, some
treasurers have done the work without
additional compensation, while in other
counties the board of supervisors have
appropriated money from the public
funds in payment of such services. The
law has now settled the matter so that
there need be no further complication
in regard to it. If man wants a GER
tificate, he pays for it, just as he pays
for having his deed recorded.
At st. Marks church, Monday morn
ing at 0 o'clock, a select company wit
messed the marriage Of Miss Frances
Elizabeth Thomas, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. 4. G.. Thomas of this place, and
MIR. Fred Bancroft Banks of Grand

by Rev. Bancroft of Hastings, uncle of
the groom, and was a very pretty Epis-
copal service. The father of the bride
gave her in marriage, after which the
groom placed the dainty wedding ring
on her finger. After the ceremony, a
wedding breakfast was served at the
home Of the brides parents to an in
vited party. Mr.. and Mrs. Banks left
