goods, you'll wonder because they do
not "toot their own horn" louder; the
stock warrants the most vigorous COM
mendation.
Rev. NJ. S. Waller has resigned the
pastorate of the Free Baptist church
here, the resignation to take effect Nov
l. On that date, he will go to Grand

B. church in that city.
Paw Paw ball team seems to have
gotten into the habit of either being
beaten hard or else drubbing its oppo-
nents numerically. Following the
crushing defeat at the hands of Bloom
ingdale, Paw Paw, on Thursday last,
defeated the Silver Greek Indians by a
score of 81 OF.
A BlOomingdale subscriber wants to
know why the Northerner didn't give a
report of the ball game last week. Our
friend labors under an hallucination
There was no ball game. Blooming
dale club came over here and gave an
exhibition, but the Paw Paw team was
so helpless before them that there
wasn't anything worthy of the name of
"ball game" The score was 'steen 10
few, or something of that kind.
At the council meeting Monday even.
ing, w. w. Fowler was appointed fire

to teams between Gremps and Niles

Through the introduction of a resolu-
ton in the village council by Trustee
Myhan, that body offers reward of
$50 for proper information as to who
committed the indignities upon F. S.
Persing, while he was prisoner and
with no chance to strike back That
the attack on him was made in a spirit
ofcowardly hellishness, by some opposed
to temperance, decency and humanity,
is a foregone conclusion, and any official
found winking at the righteousness of
the whiske y business in South Haven
can win glory and do honor to his trust
| by hanging his resignation on the outer
walls.-South Haven Sentinel.

Prof. |. ID. Loree, late silver candi-
date for school commissioner in this
county, has resigned the superintend-
ency of the Lawrence school and will
leave the county. His resignation was
a forced affair, as he had no certificate,
and some tax payers of the district
were kicking about permitting him to
teach another year without SO necessary
a document. He went before the Jack.
son county board of examiners in
August, as an applicant for first grade
certificate good for the state, but failed
to pass the examination. Those who
criticised the Northerner so severely
during the commissionership campaign
last spring, for showing his disqualiti-
cation to teach, should now quietly
crawl back into their shells.
The treaty of peace between Greece
and Turkey, SO long in debate, was
finally signed at Constantinople on
Friday. This may be regarded as the
end of the lOng-drawn-out negotiations
in which Turkey and the representa-
tives of the European powers have
been engaged, and which alarmists
| have affected to believe might wreck
the peace of Europe. The treaty of
peace between the people and + Smith
& Co., to decide what is to be done
with their gigantic stock of clothing
and furnishings, which alarmists have
affected to believe might wreck the
famous Long Brick Store" has been
consummated by the attractive prices
and styles, which are bringing patrons
for miles to avail themselves of the OPP
portunities offered.
