EDITOR NoRTHERNER.
DEAR SIR:
c. II. Y. w. in his article last week
wishes to underestimate the work done
by eight of Paw Paws business men in
securing better mail and train service
for US These gentlemen accomplished all
they went after. In a business like way
they brought about results of great
value to the community. Now then, if
G. II. Y. w. will quit trying to say some
thing funny, quit hollering into empty
freight cars, quit scolding the employees
and calling down Vengeance on the station
agents, quit talking has beens" IN all
places, and then try the methods adopted
by the eight business men, formulate
the troubles of fruit shippers, know just
what they want to ask for, appoint good
men to carry out their wishes, find the
right II. NJ. officers to talk to, ask for a
meeting and press their claims, there is
very little question but good results will
follow. We would suggest the eight who
did so well before. |. j. {.

NOTES


Sheriff Britton says Old Glory will
wave every day next week from the mast
on top of our beautiful new court house.
Decorate your home for "Home Com
ing Week" Let each vie with the other
in making their homes attractive with
our national colors, red, white and blue.
The Northerner would like a complete
list of names of all home corners, and will
be obliged if those having friends here
would hand in their names and places OF
residence.
1t is hoped that all our citizens will
register and see to it that their friends
do so. A book will be purchased for
this purpose lphabetically arranged so
that if all are particular there will be
no trouble in finding name, place of
residence, when one left Paw Paw, etc.
Let all our people be awake to the
idea that "IIome Coming Week" begins
next Monday. That many are to be
guests of the village. These should be
given hearty welcome and made to feel
that the home nest has a place for them,
and that they have not been forgotten
Easy riding carriages are to be pro-
vided for those who, on account of age
or infirmities think they cannot attend
the "Home Week" picnic and other at
fractions. The desire is not to forget
any of these. If those who are expect
ing to have to stay at home for above
reasons will send their names to the sec
rotary, Mrs b. f. Warner, or to w. r.
Shrine, it will assist much in carrying
out this plan.

Mrs Addie Hunt:
Ny Dear Old iFriend-
Never did the call to Come Home"
strike me with such force as when | re-
ceived your late invitation, for this
means gong back to the place of my
birth, where my dear father and mother
lived and died, "known and respected by
all men," where all that is earthly was
laid away SO many years ago; it means
going back to the dear friends that first
taught me the true signi ticance of
the meaning of friendship, and though
years have passed without seeing them,
yet the heart responds to the summons
as it could not to the call from any 9TH
ers whom | have met and loved in later
years, outside of the nearer home ties.
The thought of the reunion of these
old friends brings quickened heart
throb, and the warm tears trace their
way down my cheeks and yet | cannot
be sin it," 1t seems that almost any
other week in the year it would have
been possible, but August is our camp
ing month and we have guests invited
for that week long since, and they come
from Washington, Pennsylvania, and
even from China to be with US at that
time. so pray you have me excused.
| shall think of you often, and please
do not forget me at any of the gather
ings of the old crowd Think Of me not
as one who is wrinkIed and gray, but as
one who tries to meet life in the truest,
happest way, whose heart has not grown
old, and who ever responds to call from
loving ones
