The Charleston, w. Va, Daily Gazette
of last Saturday announces that l.. III.
Harrison, formerly of this place, now in
the employ of the Goodman Manufac-
turing Co. of Chicago, has closed deal
for what is said to be the largest pur-
chase of electrical mining machinery
ever made in that locality. Five electric
power plants are included in the trans
action, besides other machinery, and
the price is about $4,000.
We have street lights again. The gas
engine at the plant has been attached to
the street dynamo alone, and good ser

The water power is now able to handle
the private lighting very nicely, and a
temporary solution of the power question
has been reached. The fall rains will
doubtless soon make the use of the en-

dry summer comes next year, the diff

question of time until a heavier engine
will be imperative. Paw Paw is now,
and has been for years, the best lighted
small town in Michigan, and The True
Northerner is anxious to see the excel

Only a small representation of the
members of the board of trade was pres

no business was transacted, but an in
| formal conference was held on several
matters of interest to the town, especially
the project of instituting a county fair
to be held each year in Paw Paw, COM
mencing next year. This matter and
others will come up for discussion at a
meeting to be held at the court house
next Tuesday evening at s o'clock.
Every stockholder of the board of trade
and every citizen interested in the well
fare of the town should be present. A
new board of directors will also be elect
ed. 1t is the unanimous sentiment of
, the old board of directors, as voiced by
President Cavanaugh at Monday even
ing's meeting, that the best interests
of the board of trade would be served by
the election of an entire new set of
