WILL ORGANIZE A
NURSERY COMPANY
A Plan for Fruit Growers to
Become Co>Partners in
Nursery Business.
WILL Be BENEFIT TO PAW PAW
Increased Amount Of Business
Will Furnish Employment
to Many.

Matters are materializing very nicely
in the organization of the new nursery
company. Little do our citizens realize
the benefits this will bring to the town
in the way of employment. The present
nursery with capital of about 5000
pays annually about one-half of its cap
ital out in the way of common labor.
When the capital is raised to S25, coo
this will mean something to the town,
while from the investors standpoint no
more feasible plan was ever inaugurated.
ment policy together with an opportu-
nifty for fruit growers to become CO.
partners at nominal expense and thus
have voice in the management of grow
ing the trees and vines they use. Its
bylaws will be such as to make it inn
possible for one party to obtain control.
Further, the manager will be elected
each year and must do square business
to hold his job. Fruitgrowers, if you
wish to rid yourselves of the menace of
untrue varieties, improperly grown
stock, etc, place yourselves in line with
this organization whose object is to elm
mate these evils. The reading of the
proposed bylaws will convince the most
skeptical.
Personally Mr. Prater states his view:
as follows: With one.half Of our capital
divided in shares of $40 each among a:
many fruit growers scattered over oul
fruit belt, we not only have their money
to operate on but their influence il
trade. A living advertisement the like o
which no printed matter can compare
Those members will not only buy, but
help sell our goods. In return we viii
give them goods that are what they are
represented to be, prices that are within
reason and dividends on their invest
ment to repay for the use of their mon
ey. In fact, no one is the loser, bu
both gain by the others assistance.

George Rooms Passes Away.

George Koons, an old resident and re-.
spected citizen OF Paw Paw, passed away
at Ann Arbor last Tuesday morning. He
had been in i'll health for some time, but
had been able to attend to his work up
to within two or three weeks of his
death, when he was confined to the
house but not to the bed. Last week It
was found that his trouble was caused
by tumor, and that it was necessary to
go to Ann Arbor for an operation, where
he was taken last Friday. The sur
geons at the hospital were away attend
ing the funeral of a member of the u. of
M. faculty who had passed away in the
East. He was awaiting their return
when, on Tuesday morning he was taken
worse and died suddenly. His remains
were brought home Tuesday evening,
snd the funeral will be held from the
house to-day friday at 80 in the af-
ternoon. Mr.. Koons was friend to all
and was highly respected by all who
knew him. He leaves wife, two daugh-
ters and son to mourn his death. The
relatives have the heartfelt sympathy OF
large circle OF friends in their bereave-
ment.

Famous Case Now Ended in
Supreme Court Re-
hearing Denied.
WAS LONG BITTER STRUGGLE
Tried Three Times in Circuit Court
as Many in Supreme Court
Besides Many Motions.

What was probably the last chapter
in the famous Culver VS.. S. III. d Il. r.
Il. case was concluded in the supreme
court last Monday. The case was the
first to be filed in the new court house
and has been in the courts since that
time, period of over four years. 1t
has been tried three times in the circuit
court and has been before the supreme
court as many times, besides numerous
motions for rehearings, etc.
Our readers are all familiar with the
facts surrounding the case, and a review
of them will not be necessary. Suffice
it to say that the last trial in the circuit
court resulted in a verdict for plaintiff
in the sum of $4,000. The supreme
court, after review of the case, reversed
the lower courts decision and sent the
case back for new trial. The attor-
neys for plaintiff, on motion, secured
rehearing before the supreme court,
when that body reversed its own deci-
sion and affirmed the judgment of the
lower court. The attorneys for defend
ant made ii motion for a rehearing of the
case, which was denied by the supreme
court last Monday. 1t is now up to the
defendants to settle in full
Messrs. Tabor and Cavanaugh were
plaintiffs attorneys and Mayer and
Barnard had charge of the defense The
case has been a long legal struggle which
was fought to the bitter end.
