The Paw Paw base ball team went to
Decatur, Friday, and won Il game by
score of 13 to g. While the game was
rather loosely played, it was interest
ing, and the return game that will be

You and | and our neighbors are
quick to Judge man by his appear
ance. If he looks the vagabond we
want nothing to 10 with him. We
should expect, then, to be judged by
the same standard, and remember that

clothing success. The one.half off shirt
sale is grand success at f. Smith Il
Cos.

Sometime in the summer of 1894, a
minor son of Lewis Salisbury had the
misfortune TO break one of his legs.
The boy was treated by the late DR.. NJ.
+. Whalen. After the death of the
doctor, Mr. Salisbury filed a claim
against the estate, claiming $4,000 dam
ages. for alleged malpractice in the
treatment of his son, whose broken leg,
it is claimed is shorter than the sound
one. The case was set for hearing be-
fore the probate court on Wednesday
last, L j. Cavanaugh and Judge Mills
appearing for the claimant and Mar
shall Howell of Cassopolis for the es-
tate. When the case was called, counsel
for claimant, very unexpectedly, ar
nounced that they would offer no testi-
mony in support of the claim. OF
course, this ended the matter as far as
the probate court is concerned, and the
claim was disallowed.

father, John Lyle Sr., in 1929, coming

| Lyle was 90 years old, he paid S17 down
on the quarter section OF land that
made up the home farm, now a part
of 500 acres of land in body that was
the property of Mr.. Lyle at the time of

respect of the entire community. He
leaves the following children to mourn
his death: Marshall Lyle, Mrs. James
Huntington, Geo. M. Lyle, Mrs. John
Graham. The funeral was held Sunday
at the home.
The NORTHERNER won't vouch for
the accuracy of the score-Dr. Hamil-
ton kept it, ask him. The Greenhorns
own up to defeat by the Suckers last
Thursday by score of 46 to z. The
Suckers claim they won it by at least
as large a score as that, and say it
would have been 460 to seven If Jay
Cummings hadn't got black eye in the
first inning putting him into the ambu-
lance, where he was attended by L. b.
Conner, chief of the hospital nurses.
The big tin sucker that the captain of
the Suckers carried in the march to the
ground, was borne triumphantly back
to town, held high in the air on pole,
while the dulcet tones Of the big green
horn were stilled and the horn trailed
ANONYMOUSLY through the dust. The

horn disaster. Yes the game was a
