The supreme court has granted an
order to show cause why mandamus
should not issue in the railroad bond
case, to compel the circuit Judge to is
sue an injunction. To the Northerner,
it looks now as though Tom Dodge and
his hackers were sending good money
after that already expended. The rail
road bonds have been issued, and there
is not the slightest doubt in our mind
that they are where no injunction can
prevent the railroad company from OBJ
tanning the proceeds at the completion
of their contract.
On the 4th day of February last, Mrs.
Margaret Crippen Norris of Lawrence
was indicted by the grand jury for hav
ing violated the local option law. On
the llth day of April, she pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to pay fine of 800
and S56.25 costs or to 30 days in Jail.
She remained an honored guest at the
Hotel Lamberson until June 4, just %
days, when her courage failed. She
could not endure the thought of an ad-
ditional 30 days and so paid up in full
and was enabled to spend Sunday with
her family and friends.
At meeting of the board of education
held few days since, the following
teachers were engaged: Second primary
Miss Mary Morrison of Antwerp; second
intermediate, Miss Emma Hunt of Allie
gan, graduate of the Mt. Pleasant nor
NAL school. Mrs. Tracy, the present
teacher in the second intermediate, has
been engaged for the South Haven
school, Our sister village has secured
the services of an excellent and well
equipped teacher. There now remains
but one place to be filled in our school
that of assistant in the high school.
For the past two years the NOrtherner
has published a list of local wheelmen
and wheelwomen, with the make OF
wheels ridden, and wants to do so again
this year Last season, 100 were regis
tered in this village and immediate vicin-
ity. We are sure the number has now
very largely increased. The register is
now open, and every owner of a wheel in
Paw Paw is invited to call at this Office
and register, that the list may be abso
lutely complete. We want to make the
publication in our issue of June ID il
possible, so it is imperative that all wheel
men register promptly-before Saturday
night if possible.
At the regular meeting of the council
Monday evening, it was voted to grade
and gravel La Grave street from Elm tC
Cedar-two blocks-if the property
owners donate $40 or more towards the
work John Rooney Jr. appeared before
the council and said he had raised S24.7s
for that purpose. The street committee
recommended that a cement walk be
built on the north side of Main street
between Kalamazoo and Niles, provided
property owners pay one-third of the
expense; also that they had purchased a
quantity of Decatur brick for use with
cobble stone for oss-walks. The specia
waterworks committee was authorized
to procure the estimate and plans o
Geo. S. Pierson of Kalamazoo for sys
TEN of waterworks and sewers, at cos
of $50. The council extended an invi
tation to the Van Buren, County Pioneer
association to meet in Paw Paw mex
year. Claims were allowed amounting
to S432S5.
