The annual convention of the Van
Buren, county G. F. union, held at Hart
ford on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week, was a very successful affair
in all respects. The attendance, per-
haps, was not equal to that of some
former meetings, but it was good. The
program, as heretofore published in the
NoRTHERNER, was fully carried out,
every number being given and each
topic treated in an instructive and in
teresting manner. A feature that added
| largely To the interest of the occasion
was the presence of the salvation army
band of twelve pieces, the members OF
which gave the convention some fine
music, both instrumental and vocal.
The entertainment furnished by the
good people of Hartford was all that
could have been desired, and evidenced
their unbounded hospitality. In the
absence of Mr.. Gillis, the president,
Miss Clara Anderson, vice-president,
presided over the deliberations of the
convention and showed herself to be a
most admirable presiding officer. As
an evidence of appreciation of her val
liable services, she was rendered a
unanimous election to the Office of pres
ident of the union, but declined to ac-
cept the proffered honor, much to the
regret of the delegates and all other in
terested parties. One society, the Bap-
tist of this place, was reported as dis
banded, and four new ones, one at
Grand Junction, one at Paw Paw, one
at Rush Lake and one at Corwin. were
received into the union, making nine
teen societies in all. The newly elected
officers are: Rev. G. Dew. Brewer OF
South Haven, president; Miss Julia
Harrison of Paw Paw, vice-president;
