Broughton advertises balloon ascen-
sion for Maccabee day
The endeavor society of the Disciple
church will give an ice cream social at
the home of Mr. and Mrs Nj. .. Row
land, Tuesday evening All are invited.
Miss Daisy Longwell lost black and
white silk umbrella several days ago on
the Black River road. She priced it
highly and the finder would confer a
favor by returning it.
We do not know of anything we can
add to the announcements already
made for the Maccabee celebration,
next Friday, June 3. But we desire to
again call our readers attention to the
day and its attractions. 1t will be the
banner jubilee of the year, and all who
attend are assured "a right good time.
The event is not for Maccabees alone,
but for all, though it is under the auspi-
ces and direction of that order. The
parade, speeches, ball game, 1.-The
Henrietta" in the evening, all will add
to the days pleasure.
Few people realize how pretty a spot
the little park by the school house is.
This park is the property of the village.
The trees in it are growing nicely, and
it seems to us IL should be improved
We would suggest to the lefty fathers"
that they lay some gravel walks through
the grounds and set some neat iron
seats in the park 1t would be IA very
pleasant breathing spot, and would be
popular. There is already an electric
light near each end of the park, so that
further expense in this direction would
not be needed. In this same connec
ton, isn't it about time Paw Paw had a
soldiers monument? This park is the
finest place in town to erect a mOnu.
ment. Let the post take hold OF this
matter, aud we are sure our citizens
will help the project along. Paw Paw
is the prettiest village in Michigan, and
there is no reason why it should not
have lovely little park where now it
has only a neglected piece of ground.
The South Minneapolis Telegram con-
tains the following, referring To Mrs.
Sheldon, who went from this village to
reside with her son, b +. Stearns, in
Minneapolis: "The wheel captures all.
Young and old alike fall victims to its
allurements; the boy, the girl, young
ladies and gentlemen, pater and mater
familias have the craze equally devel-
Oped and one concludes that the world
is really wheel mad. Minneapolis leads

ders and the old lady has renewed her
youth to such an extent that bicycle
ride is greatly enjoyed. AT first she
held the 'hOrrid old thing in contempt
and chided her granddaughter for being
SO Immodest as to ride; but the fatal
intoxication finally overcame even the
old lady of 50 and, being light and 1.-THE,
she mounted the wheel and made such
