The lecturer of Paw Paw grange is pre-
pairing novel program, for the near

en- of in the Detroit papers and elsewhere

and was carried from the room, remain

dition Sunday and Monday, but is now
slowly improving.
We are not greatly frightened by Sir
William Crooke's address before the
British association, in which he raised
the alarm that by 1881 the wheat supply
of the world would fail to keep up with
the population. Improved culture might
more than double production, and there
| IN
and in Siberia, not to go further south
as vet untouched. Some alarm has been
raised as to the capacity of F.. Smith q
Co. to supply their greatly increased
business, but they are soon to remodel
their store to meet the emergency.
Wedding bells rang merrily in the
home of Mr., Philip Hinckley of Airing
ton. Saturday evening, October %, while

Mrs. Anna Barton. The attendants were
Mr. Merl Cross of Chicago, ILL.,, and Miss
Efiie Wallace, sister of the groom. The
altar decorations were artistic and beau
tiful. A fine supper followed the cere-
mony. The gifts were numerous, and
the young couple begin life under the
most favorable circumstances.
"A man, himself, may care nothing fol
Sunday, but a decent respect for the
opinions of others, and an ordinary re
gard for the law of the land ought to de
ter him from the performance of unnec
essary labor on that day. 1t is bac
enough for private citizen to thus ig
t more custom and statute, but when pub
lie works are prosecuted on the first day
. of the week it becomes a disgrace to the
e community that permits it. Paw Paw
e has got along for, 10, these many years
without a system of waterworks anC
n there is now no such pressing necessity
o for them as warrants the contractor
y working a gang of hands on Sunday
The foregoing is the exact language il
which a reputable and respected citizel
of Paw Paw framed his kick to tn
: Northerner, and is only one of many tina
have come to us. 1t does seem as thougl
Sunday work might be avoided on pub
: lie improvements.
