ain early manhood he became be-
trothed to Young woman, the affinity
of his heart, whom the angel OF death
rudely wrested from him. True to his
manly aud honorable instincts be has
for all these years treasured her men,
DRY, and in her honor has lived life OF
celibacy.
Ale was a man OF public spirit and
gave his influence To every enterprise
which tended to improve the village.
A number of years ago an efficient fire
department was organized known as the
Paw Paw fire department. 1t has grown
and increased in efficiency with the pass
ing of years until it is recognized as one
of the best in the state The Paw Paw
tire department. has long been looked
upon by our citizens as the continuing
guardian of their lives and property.
William Butler became a member OF
this organization almost at its inception
and continued to take an active part in
it to the time Of his death. When the
dread alarm rang out on the stiffness OF
the midnight air that the fire fiend was
rum ing rampant, threatening the des
truction Of not only property but the
lives of the owners. he was among the
first to appear on the scene to give de-
termined battle to the farther progress
of the cruel and savage enemy, and not
until that enemy was routed and the
last embers OF his fury were extiuguished
did this courageous fire fighter resume
his usual calm and unperturbed de
meapor. His chief has informed me
that not until the last foot of frozen
hose was thawed, dried and coiled and
the entire enginery of warfare was cared
for did this faithful defender of his
neighbor and his neighbours property
relax his efforts. In his honor and as a
mark of respect to his memory his com
radea of the fire department are here
present today in a body under the com
mand OF their chief
"For several years he has been an hon
ored member of the Benevolent Protec.
tive Order of Elks. He has maintained
an honorable place in the ranks of that
order Ills brothers respect and even
love hlm, many of whom are here pre-
sent to pay to him their last tribute of
esteemed consideration by the rendition
of the ritualistic ceremony of the order
as his remains shall be lowered to their
last resting place.
'He is loved by his immediate kins
folk. His tender, loving care will be
missed, and the place made vacant in
this home will eave an aching void
He is respected by this community in
which he has lived for almost his entire
life for his many sterling qualities. lie
has joined the innumerabie throng who
have proceeded him.
THE insidious malady which carried
him off did its work rapidly. He did
not live long to suffer from the attack.
He had been conscious for some time
that the end was not far away. He died
as he had lived, calmly and sereuely
He feared not, but stepped boldly across
the invisible border line which divides
time from eternity.
peace be to his ashes!"

DEATH OF BESSIE MORRISON
Succumbs to Fatal Disease After
Lingering Illness Extending
Over Four Years.

wv Il CNtl l. Ce"A -
Miss Bessie Morrison has been laid to
rest after a lingering illness extending
over period of the past four years.
That fatal disease, consumption got IN
its deadly work and her spirit passed to
the great beyond last Sunday. She was
born November 10, 1880, aud had lived
10 Paw Paw since small child
While she has gone from the scenes,
the conflicts, the soFrows aud pleasures
of life, she will still live IN the hearts of
those who knew her best. She was a
KIND loving daughter, and her devotion
to the family circle had no limit Her
future was full of promise, and we dare
not ask why she was taken from US iu
her prime, unless, as flowers are picked
before the frost finds them that we may
not witness their decay. 1t is sad in
deed to see one so we'll equipped fer life
taken so unexpectedly, yet for her there
was no standing in the borderland gsz-
ing into the unknown, for death came as
the sunset dies along the hills when the
day is over.
She leaves to mourn her, besides many
loving friends, father and mother, Mr.
and Mrs Daniel Morrison, two sisters,
Agnes of Paw Paw and Mrs. Mary Nc
Donald Of Traverse City, aud one broth
er, Charley, also OF Paw Paw.
Her funeral was held from the home
OF her parents Tuesday afternoon, Rev.
M. Grigsby and Rev. h. III. Harvey off
ciating: Six young ladies', friends OF the
deceased during her lifetime, acted as
honorary pail bearers. Interment was
at Prospect cemetery.

Heavy Clouds Of Smoke Hangs
Over Southern Michigan from
Burning Forests.

The atmosphere has been laden wit
heavy clouds of smoke during the past
week. The northerly winds waited the
smoke from the fire stricken districts o {
the north as a reminder of the dreadful
loss of property and suffering of our
northern neighbprs At times it ha
seemed as though one could smell the
burning pine ADD hemlock and hear the
cracking of the flames. The fire will
undoubtedly rage until a heavy rain
comes. Let it be soon.

Tabor Day.

The outing which the prisoners
were given on Monday was ap-
preciated very much, for the day
was simply magnificent. Old Sol
was shining his brightest, and for
which we are deeply indebted to
the weather man. The men were
unlocked from their cells at eight
o'clock and were permitted the
freedom of the park until noon.
While in the park the prison band
gave an open air concert during
the entire outing.
Athletics, such as foot races,
acrobatics and a tug of-war, were
INDUCED in. The tug-of-war was
composed of six men from the shoe
shop and six from the Irvine fac
tory. There was considerable
friendly rivalry displayed in this
contest: but the Irvine boys won
both heats, Thereby each winning
a plug ofltobacco. The shoe shop
boys think the teams were not ev-
emily matched, but their kick was
not allowed. There also were wa
ter-melon and pie-eating contests,
the winners receiving plug of
Coles finest. In the pie-eating
contest the boys who volunteered
all looked desperately hungry, but
it appeared that they cared more
for the pie than the tobacco. New
