Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans--As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much larger in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one

The House by the Side of the Road.

There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self content. There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart In a fellowless Armament: There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths Where highways never run But let me live by the side of the road And be friend to man. Let me live by the side of the road. Where the race of men go by The men who are good and the men who are bad. As good and bad as l. I would not sit in the scorners seat Or hurl the cynic's ban Let me live in the house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I know there are brook -gladdened meadows
 ahead,
 And mountains Of wearsome height: That the road passes on through the long
 afternoon
 And stretches away to the night. But still rejoice when the travellers rejoice And weep with the strangers that moan. Nor live in my house by the side of the road Like a man who dwells alone Let me live in my house by the side of the road Where the race of men pass by They are good. they are bad. they are weak.
 they are strong, Wise foolish. and so am l. Then why should sit in the scorner's seat Or hurl the cynic'> ban: Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Sam Walter Foss.

A Golden Wedding.

Thursday, October 20, a company of
nearly 30 of the relatives and friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Cornish assembled
at their home in Porter, to celebrate their
golden wedding, while others were pre-
vented from coming on account of sick
ness and the rainy weather
Thomas Cornish and Mary Hayne were
both born in Cornwall England, in 1929,
and were married there. With their two
oldest children, Mrs. j. w. Burlington
and John Cornish, they started for Amer
lea in April, 1852. They resided in the
state of New York until December, 1858,
when they came to Michigan and imme-
diately settled on the farm which they
still occupy. BY hard, honest toll and
patient industry they have acquired one
of the finest homes in Porter.
They are the parents of six children,
Mrs. J. w. Burlington, John Cornish, at
present supervisor from Porter, Grace,
Ed. Eliza and DR.. Geo. w. Cornish of
Lawton. OF the six, four are living,
Grace and Eliza having died in 1870,
within two months of each other. OF
Mr.. Cornish's brothers and sisters, he
alone made the United States his home.
Mrs. Cornish was the fourth in a family
of eight, all of whom, and their mother,
came to America at different times,
six of them settling within few miles
of each other in Porter township, Mrs.
Grace Barker, John Hayne, Mrs. Cor
nish, Mrs Katherine Barker, Mrs. Mar
gerry Weldin and Mrs. Eliza Hall. OF
the eight all are living except Mrs. Wei
din, and all except the bride of 80 years
have been bereft of companions and are
now treading life's pathway alone.
At the gathering Thursday were pres
ent their four children, some of the
grandchildren and the two great grand
children, four generations in direct
line being represented. The three sis
ters who were there were also present at
the original wedding. The day was
doubly memorable as the 18th anniver-
sary of the marriage Of their son John
and his wife, and goodly number of the
company were also guests at their we'd
ding.
After a bountiful dinner, Mr.. James
Nash, in behalf of the guests, presented
the bride and groom of 30 years with
cake basket and gold lined silver cup.
Both responded, when all united in sing
ing. "Shall We Gather at the RiverY"
Thus, Notwithstanding the clouds and
rain outside, very enjoyable day was
spent, and the guests departed, wishing
them yet many returns of the happy
day.

WHOLE NUMBER 2275.

Harry Spicer arrived home Saturday
from visit of several weeks at Peoria,
Ills, and st. Louis, Mo- He was at Chi
cago during the peace jubilee.
Seldom has there occurred so sad a
death and so sorrowful funeral as that
of Marion Austin, wife of l.. B. Austin,
the only daughter of George and Mary
Van Dorm of Waverly, and the loving
mother of seven children, the Oldest
eleven years of age, and the youngest
babe of six months. She was up and
about her home duties until Tuesday of
last week, and even then there seemed,
at least to her, nothing alarming in her
condition and she but smiled at the fears
of her family. A swelling had appeared on
her under lip, and medical aid had been
secured, but the swelling spread rapidly,
resulting in inflammation of the brain,
and she died Thursday morning, October
27. The funeral was held Sunday, with
brief services in her late home, from
which she was carried to her fathers
home in Waverly, where large company
had already assembled. The funeral
sermon was preached by Mrs. Barton,
and the body was laid to rest in the
Austin cemetery. Deceased was thirty
one years of age and had lived near Paw
Paw since she was ten years old.
The Norwood Review of London, un-
der date of May 3, said: "A large audi
ence gathered at the Royal Normal col
lege on Friday to hear a recital by
blind pianist from, Boston, Edward Bax-
ter Perry, who has achieved much fame
and large concert experience in the
states. A tone which, even in fortissimo
passages, never loses its soft and sympa-
thetic quality, great smoothness and
delicacy of finger work, and an octave
and chord technique of the Kullak
school, are the main characteristics of
his playing. Remarkable warmth and
refinement, especially in the treatment
of Chopin, have earned Mr.. Perry in his
own country the title of the poet among
the pianists.' His accuracy, command
of technique and scholarly methods
would be remarkable in any player, with
or without eyesight while nicely of
phrasing, an extreme but judicious use
of the rubato and a dramatic treatment
of climaxes evince in the player, and
evoke in the listener an unusual amount
of musical emotion" This remarkable
musician will give concert at the Paw
Paw opera house on the evening of No
vember g.
