Mayor Mills of Kalamazoo will open
the ball season in the celery city by
pitching the first ball over the plate" in
the game announced for some time this
week. We don't expect to be there, and
no one else need go, either. If the game
don't start until the Judge sends the
ball over the plate, there won't be any
game. Why not let him throw the ball
over the fence? lie might do that.-Char-
lotte Republican.
a marriage was solemnized in Paw Paw
on the 10Th day of December, 1896, in
which the brides age was sworn to be
sixteen years. Subsequently the parties
were divorced, and on the 18th day of
May, 1900, by Justice Kelly Of Lawrence,
the same girl was again married, age still
sworn to be sixteen. The last statement
was doubtless correct. Somebody must
have had small regard for an oath, or a
license could not have been obtained for
the marriage of "a child only twelve years
of age.
At the council meeting Monday evening,
claims were allowed amounting to 81 l05.

lars having been raised by private sub
scription for the purpose of building a
standpipe for the filling of the street
sprinkler, tire council voted to donate
not to exceed $40 for the same purpose.
The Sunday morning memorial exer-
cises at the NJ. f.. church were very fine.
The house was elegantly decorated for
the occasion with the national colors
and was packed to its fullest capacity.
Some 30 of the old veterans of the civil
war, led by the stars and stripes and
Bullard IL Cummings martial band,
marched from the post room to the church.
The address, which was very interesting
and appropriate to the occasion, was de-
livered by Rev. +. o. Mather. The
music rendered by choir organ
lied for the occasion, was excellent.
The large attendance, and the interesting
exercises could almost make one wish
Memorial Sunday came oftener than once
year
Last Friday evening, pleasant sur
prise was given Miss Tia Hail. by her
Sunday school class. After most en-
ljoyable evening, her teacher, Rev. E. o.
Mather, on behalf of the class, presented
her handsome silver spoon as a token of
of esteem and well wishes, as she departs
to her new home in Benton Harbor Mon
day evening, after Mr. and Mrs. A. T..
Hall and family had been enjoying one of
their outdoor picnics with friends on the
island at the Central mills, they were
also surprised on reaching home when
the lights revealed that they were in
ambuscade. Nevertheless, it was evident
that no hostile demonstration was in
tended, but that it was another exhibit
