One of the pleasantest secret society
events that has recently taken place in
Paw Paw occurred at the Knights of
Pythias hall Tuesday evening, when the
members of that order entertained the
Oddfellows lodge at pedro, a friendly
contest being played between the lodges.
Eight tables were played, nine games at

of the two orders were present who did
not play Sandwiches, doughnuts and
coffee were served, with cigars TO add
flavor to the lunch.

Gus reasons why the people of America
should be thankful for the blessings they
enjoy. A collection for charitable pur.
poses was taken and placed in the hands
of a committee for distribution.

county should do the same. 1t is no

seem to us that the $500 proposition is
reasonable one, and we believe the lim
fixed by vote of the supervisors, 81, 200, il
figure on which an equitable agree
