actly what TO expect in the way of
prices when Broughton advertises a

f b Longwell has gotten so in the habit
of having big days at his popular store,
that he can't get along without them.
So of course he uses Northerner col
umns as trade attracters. But the best
of his advertising is that he backs up
his announcements with genuine bar
gains. See his big adv. for new ones.

Mr.. George Davey of Lawrence
township, perhaps the Oldest soldier of
the rebellion who resided in this county,
was killed just north of Lawrence viii
lage, Saturday His team became fright
ened at a bicycle, ran away and threw
the old gentleman out, killing him. He
lacked but two weeks of being 81 years
old. He enlisted in 1861, at the age of
81 years, and served during the entire
war, never being in the hospital during
over four years of service, except while
suffering from two gunshot wounds that
he received. The funeral was held
Tuesday, conducted by Rev. |. p. Bates.
Doubts have been thrown on the ac-
curacy of the boundary line survey be-
tween Tennessee and Georgia, and the
theory is held by some local author-
ties that the city of Chattanooga,
hitherto supposed TO belong to Tennes-
see, should really be attached to
Georgia. The state legislature of
Georgia may be asked for re-survey
next winter, to settle the question.
The survey of the territory tributary to
+. Smith & Co.'S has been extended
through all southwestern Michigan.

values in clothing and furnishings as to
enlighten buyers and secure the verdict
OF Michigan legislators in their favor.
On account of the unusually fine
stocks being carried this season by Paw
Paw merchants, in all lines, and the
persistent and intelligent campaign of
advertising being carried on, the COM
ing years business promises TO be one
of the largest, il not the largest, in Paw
Paws history. The business interests
of the town are now largely in the hands
of young men, and those who are not
young in years are young In push and
enterprise. Paw Paw is to-day the best
trading point in southwestern Michi-
gan, and the people know it. Buyers
come into town daily from 20 miles
around-indeed, territory for that dis
tance is the legitimate field for Paw
Paw enterprise. The Northerner be-
lieves this village, in common with the
general prosperity, is entering upon
period of unexampled business activity.

ward TO William +. Steinman, such

ably the marriage was solemnized

This is getting "off with the old love
