The Courier says it looks as though
the big well at the waterworks, which
cost $1,000 aud is yet to be housed,
would solve the question of water supply

right about it, but We venture the pre-
dictiou that next summers sprinkling
season will sorely tax the wells capacity.

Grand Jury Special, Limited The
train that made South Haven famous,
is the legend in large letters that adorned
each side OF the coach in which the
South Havenites rode to and fro each
day, until the railroad company caused
its removaD. This is paraphrase of a
we'll known advertising phrase of a cele-
brsted Milwaukee brewer, and is most
appropriate. The notoriety in each case
appears to have the same foundation
beer. While South Haven has secured
some free advertising from the special
train, IL has also advertised the fact that
it has an unusually large number of citi-
zens whose sympathies are with violators
OF the law. and the other fact that some
OF her citizens are not above resortIng to
the discreditable scheme of boycott.
The action is not chldish--it is babyish,
and we should think full grown men
would be ashamed OF it instead of boast
ing. 1t would not be at all surprising
il Paw Paw people should cut out their
frequent visits to South Haven next
summer, and divert their lake travel and
shipping to Benton Harbor. While per-
haps such policy would not reach the
parties who are to blame for the present
