The DeLacour Dramatic company,
which was at the opera house the first
three evenings of this week, was first
class attraction and played to good
houses. Paw Paw has become a good
show town under Mr.. LongwelPs policy
of admitting only good companies to his
house. The DeLacours travel in their
own private car.
OF the twenty men indicted by
the Paw Paw grand jury, part of whom
are wanted for alleged violations OF the
local option law, but one has so far been
caught. 1t is said that many druggists
are in Chicago buying their holiday
stock of perfumes and hair brushes
Detroit Free Press. The memory OF
some state editors would do credit to
man who had borrowed ten spot. The
Free Press had published the names OF
many more than one druggist arrested
on grand jury indictment, and the state
editor would doubtless have remembered
it if he hadn't been so anxious to take
fling at the difficulty of enforcing the To-
cal option law.

Monday, there were present G. G. Phil

OF Sunday school workers early in tho
year, such as have been successfully con-
Quoted in other counties. 1t is hoped to
secure Rev. f. b. Huffman of Benton
Harbor and Evangelist Knapp of Three
Oaks for the tour, and Secretary Irms
Phillips and ID. B. Allen, with other
workers, will be in the party, and local
help is expected at the places visited
The itinerary will probably include Ken
dali, Bloomingdae, South Haven, Covert,
Bangor, Hartford, Lawrence, keeler, De-
catur and Mattawan, with the final rally
at Paw Paw, 10 days being occupied in
the tour. 1t is hoped to accomplish a
great revival in Sunday school work.
Announcement has been made by Gen
eral Passenger Agent III. +. Moeller OF
the Pere Marquette that the trains OF
that company, freight and passenger
would begin using the terminals of the
Chicago Terminal Transfer company
Dec. ID. The passenger trains will use
the Grand Central station at Harrison
street and Fifth avenue abandoning the
use OF the Michigan Central tracks and
the Park Row stations of the Illinois
Central The acquisition by the Pere
Marc quette of its own terminals in Chi
cago and trackage rights secured over
the Michigan Central into Buffalo places
the company 10 the trunk line class and
greatly enhances the value of the prop
erty. On the same date the Pere Mar
quette will open a temporary city ticket
office in the office of the Chicago Great
/ Western, which is next door to the Mich
! igan Central on Adams street. In time
the company will have its own city ticket
Office Chicago Record Herald. The De
troit Free Pree is also out with column
article on the Pere Marquette as a trunk
line. 1t is difficult to see how the sys-
TEN can successfully compete for through
business without building the extension
east from Paw Paw, and we live in
hope that it will not be many months
before the work is undertaken.
