raigned before Justice Killefer, Wednes-
day, charged with violation of the local
option law. He was held for trial at the
September term of the circuit court. He
gave bail.
If you think it doesn't pay to advertise,
just stop and think how far and wide
has gone the idea of "home coming
week. Only little has been done, yet
it's now known all over Michigan and
many other states, so travellers tell US.
New boarders at the county Jail are
John German of South Haven, Frank
Chaffee of Paw Paw, Fred Crossman and
/ Isaac Krader of Breedsvile. German
is in for 10 days for being drunk and
disorderly, Chaffee on a charge of arson
and Crossman and Kradler for enticing
a young girl away.
The story published in the state pa
pers that Frank Chatfee was burned
to death in his house, was all right ex-
cept that it wasn't true. Paw Paw will
soon rival Niles in the unreliability ofits
newspaper correspondents. But then,
such story is interesting, even if there
is nothing in it-that is, nothing except
pay for tho porrpSDopdept
The ladies entertained the Knights of
Pythias last evening, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. f.. J. Harrington. The recep-
ton was planned as a farewell to DR.. w.
r. Hoyt before his departure for several

and cake were served, and an informal
dance was had in the rink. The occa-
sion was a most enjoyable one.
Last week Wednesday evening. about
100 neighbors and friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Squire Burns surprised them with

and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed.
Those present from outside of the neigh
borhood were Geo Failing and Mrs. Chas.
Failing of Grand Rapids and Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Hawley OF Paw Paw. he
freshments were served and a number of
fine pres ents were left as mementoes of
the occasion.
The projected electric road from Kal-
amazoo TO Benton Harbor, of which G..
w. Merriman, Geo. Bardeen and Mr..
Rand are the active promoters, is look
ing up. The road from South Haven to
Coloma and around Paw Paw lake has
been surveyed and the surveyors are
here this week running the line from
Watervliet to Hartford and east to Law
renee. This line will be a great help to
this county, especially to the farmers
who will no doubt see the advantage and
cheerfully grant the right OF way as it
may be asked.-Hartford Day Spring.
