1t is said that woman is cooler and
more self possessed in cases of fire and
shipwreck than man; but she would not
have half mans patience in wearing
ill.titting clothes. A woman knows that
a garment is either right or it is wrong,
and she insists upon having the worth
of her money. When men become as
sensible as women in this respect, they
will wear no clothing but the "H. S. &
M" make, sold by the whale clothing
success of K. Smith q Co.
There is good reason to believe that
the G. j. & NJ. road is seeking an outlet
by way of Kalamazoo and the lake,
probably at Benton Harbor. In event
the extension is built, Paw Paw is right
in line to secure the road. This would
give us first class railroad accommoda-
tions. The probability of the construc-
tion of the line is strong enough to
warrant our people in having their eyes
open. This road should not be permit
ted to seek another lake port and thus
leave Paw Paw off the line.
