A meeting of the common council
was held Monday evening. Nothing
was done except the transaction OF the
usual routine business and the allow
ance of sundry bills.
A change of railroad time delays the
delivery of the afternoon mail at this
place until 3:15. This is peculiarly un-
satisfactory to the offices that receive
their mail by stage route, as it keeps
their mail in Paw Paw until the next
day.

conferred the degree of ID. ID. on Rev.
+. D. Dickinson, pastor of the Mt.

The 5. II. Il +. X. K. carried about
l 200 passengers over its line Monday,
on account of the South Haven celebra-
ton. 1t required four trains to bring
the visitors home from that place and
as the road has but two engines in use,
each had to make two round trips the
entire length of the road. Passengers
by the first train reached home about
eight O'Clock; by the second at mid
night; by the third at four o'clock in
the morning, and by the fourth at half
past five. 1t was big days work for
the road, but all were handled with
perfect safety and the delay in reach
ing home was nobOdy's fault as the
work could not have been accomplished
more speedily with the existing facili
ties for doing it.
The county Christian Endeavor con-
vention at Decatur last week was one
of the most successful in the history of
the county union. A large number of
delegates were present, from all over
the county. Every paper that was on
the printed program was at the conven-
and was read. The papers and ad.
dresses were all OF character calculat-
ed to benefit the listeners and to ad-
vance the endeavor cause. Decatur
people entertained the convention
most Hospitality. The newly elected
officers of the union are as follows
Pres, Rev. f. b. Stearns, Lawrence;
vice.pres. Bessie l.. Siggins, Grand
junction; treas, Frank Bishop, Bangor
The president was authorized TO select
his own secretary, and also to appoint
a county missionary superintendent aud
county bible superintendent, the
former to advance the missionary senti
ment of the societies, the latter to pro-
mote systematic bible study. The coun-
ty banner was awarded to the Decatur
Presbyterian society, as having done the
best general work during the past six
months. The next convention of the
union will be held in South Haven in
| December next.
