line Of the Michigan Central, while ship
ments of fruit i'm its season can be made
via steamer to Chicago and other points
at the same rates as from the lake shore
itself.
The inhabitants of Paw Paw and of
the surrounding country are refined,

industries that will tend to the prosperity
and upbuilding of the town. Manufac-

city without saloons and has been such
