Rev. Anna Barton and husband we're
very agreeably surprised Wednesday

from Gliddenburg invaded tbeir~prem-
: ises and at once proceeded to have
things their way for the day. There
were, however, goodly number left in
the burg who would gladly have joined
the ranks, had they not been unavoidably
} detained at home As it was nearly the
hour of noon when they arrived the
ladies Immediately took possession of the
, kitchen, kindly allowing Mr.. and Mrs.
} Barton to entertain their guests while
they prepared the dinner, which, by the
way the baskets loo,sed, must have been

down mot verl hungry" seemed to have

The Paw Paw Board of Trade has ac-
, complished work that has been OF
great benefit to this place, and which
entities the organization to the financial
, support of everyone interested in the
success and prosperity of the town, and
especially of all who are identified with
the business interests of the place. The
basket factory of VIM. j. Porter & Sons
has done nice business since it started.
Good baskets have been made, and the
manufacture is now being continued,
laying in big stock for next seasons
trade. Fruitgrowers who are interested
in the prosperity of Paw Paw should
! favor our home factory with their orders
: for baskets. The True Northerner be-
lieves that every orchard and vineyard
in the territory naturally tributary to
t Paw Paw should use baskets of home
: manufacture next season. The Armour
e q Co. plant is in full operation, and is
g doing good business, paying out a great
y deal of money. These two institutions
are the result of the first few months
O work of the board of trade. Most of the
: sgners for stock have cheerfully and
D promptly paid their assessments, and the
