be done at once. Tax payers are kick
! ing, and have right to kick, at the alb

The water power is inadequate in dry
weather and should be supplemented
with a gasoline engine.
whats a protocol between two
friends?" inquired General Blanco as he
cracked port tax of $1,000 upon a car
go of Red Cross supplies and tucked the
coin down into his hip pocket. Blanco
realizes that peace is not only more
pleasant, but more profitable than war.
f. Smilh d Co.'S protocol on the Sth page
tells you how to save the elegant coin by
purchasing their clothing and furnish
! ings
While Paw Paw is pleased over its
new railroad accommodations, the peo-
pie here will not lose sight of the fact
that Superintendent NJ. V. Meredith has
been tlreless in his efforts to bring this
work to a successful conclusion, and the
Northerner speaks advisedly when it
says he has been largely instrumental in
bringing it about. Nothing within Mr..
Merediths control has been too good
for Paw Paw people since he came
among us, and his efforts are appreciated.
An entertainment of moving war pic
lures is advertised to be given at Long
wells opera house, September %, % and
"a at p. m. This entertainment comes
very highly recommended, and promises
to be interesting. The bombardment of
Santiago and Matanzas, Dewey's battle
at Manila the blowing up of the Maine,
and Michigan soldier boys at Island
Lake are among the views to be shown.
The shadow dance will be another at
traction. Admission - cents, children
ID cents.
Roy Hinckley, who was with Shafter
army at Santiago, is at home. He is
very thin and weak, but will doubtless
entirely recover from the severe illness
he has undergone His father left for
New York city, Wednesday evening to
accompany Roy home. They arrived
here at $50 Saturday evening, and were
met at the depot by good sized delega-
ton of citizens and band, who escorted
the returned soldier home. Paw Paw
people are true Americans in their APP
probation of the brave soldier boys.
Paw Paw is now broad gauge town
in fact. The railroad was widened to
Hartford on Sunday and Monday, and
the last narrow gauge train has left Paw
Paw Monday, the transfer from one
train to the other was made in the open
country between Lawrence and Hart
ford. The new engine on the road is a
fine machine-the are two broad gauge
locomotives now, and two passenger
coaches on the line. A great deal oi
work has been done on the track, and
more is being done. We are reliably in
formed that negotiations are now in
progress, looking towards a track lease
of the West Michigan from Hartford to
Benton Harbor, to connect with the b
II. & G.. there, so as to run trains through
from Lawton to Buchanan. This would
be another big advance in Paw Paws
railroad facilities. The work on the
elevator here is progressing, and viii
