WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS
Two Local Disciples of Isaac Walton
Claim Bass Bit Half Inch Stringer
in Twain aud Escaped.

Not long since two of Paw Paws ac-
complished fishermen, and by the way,
both ardent disciples of the celebrated
moonlight bait, were fishing at Lake
Cora. 1t was Oeautifu mooulig ht
night, and two other members of the
party who were fishing from another
boat, called to the aforesaid anglers and
inquired as to the luck they were hav-
ing. Fine both shouted in unison,
come over and we will show you three
beauties On rowing nearly half
mile to see the "beautes" nothing was
found but the dangling end of stringer,
Both claimed however, that they had
caught the fish alright, but that the
largest fish had bitten the half inch
stringer in twain. This is rather a
"fishy tale" and the parties do not de-
sire their names to be made public.
The full particulars however can be
vividly related by either Emory Ball,
of moonlight bait fame, or Arthur Mil
Ter the genial manager of the Paw Paw
grape Juice plant.

Secretary to the Secretary of Agriculture
WILL Be TRIED FOR ASSAULT
George Howe Arrested for Assault
and Battery on Thomas Graham.
Trial will be August 10.

George Feeble Howe was arrested
this week on a charge of assault and
battery on one Thomas Graham There
has been "bad blood between the Howe
boys and Mr.. Graham for some time, and
last year Will, brother of George, was
arrested on a like charge, but the CON-
plant was dismissed.
1t seems that Mr. Graham shut up
one of Howes horses that had strayed
over on his property, and would not re.
lease the animal until damages IN the
SUN of $50 had been paid Mrs. Howe,
Georges mother, paid the damages and
got the horse. The next day, however,
George met Graham in the road and de-
named a return of the money. Just
what occurred between them is OF course
problematical, but Howe got the $50
and Grahamit is alleged has been under
the doctors care since that time. Howe ;
trial will be held 10 Justice Killefer 5
court on Tuesday, August 10.

Is Now Good Driveway.
No Pains Have Been
Spared.
AMOUNT RAISED NOT ENOUGH
Village Built Railings and Farmers
Donated Team Work TO Draw
the Gravel.

The north road across Maple lake is
soon to be completed in a manner to
reflect credit upon those having the
matter in charge, and 1t will be source
Of pride to the township.
The work of construction has been in
charge of Highway Commissioners @.
W. Lee, who has spared no time or pains
to make the road substantial and build
it in such a manner that it will remain
permanent without being a source Of
continual expense. This he has done to
the entire satisfaction OF the township.
The appropriation of $500, however, was
not sufficient to complete the road. 1t
would not build railing on each side,
which was a necessity, or gravel the
road. which must be done before the
same would be passable. Instead of
waiting for another appropriation, Com
missioner Lee, Supervisor Young and
VIM. Thayer have taken the matter into
their own hands with the result that
the road will all be completed this week
without practically any further expense
to the township. The village council
have built the railing and upon the
solicitation Of the above named gentle
men - farmers have donsted a days
work each with their wagons and teams
to haul the gravel 1t is thought that
by Saturday night the entire stretch of
road will be put in good condition. 1t
was hoped that someone could he found
who was public spirited enough to do
nate the gravel, or at least part OF 1t,
but it seems that everyone who owns
gravel pit values the same as though it
were gold mine, and the gravel had to
be purchased.
Thus ends the long controversy over
the north road question, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if single man 10 the
entire township can DOW te found who
is not glad that the road has been CON-
pleted.

WATER QUESTION CONSIDERED
Steps Taken by Council to Afford
TempOry Relief. Have Outgrown
Present Supply.

As stated by The True Northerner
last week the question cf the water
supply is becoming a serious problem
to the village of Paw Paw. The fact
Of the matter is the consumption of
water has increased to such an extent
that the village has outgrown the pres
ent capacity of the plant. During the
past month the wells have been pumped
dry several times each day, and freq ueut-
ly the large water tank has been empty
with no water in the wells. If a fire
should break out at such time, the fire.
men would be seriously handicapped, d,
and the entire village endangered.
The council at the meeting Monday
evening discussed che matter to some
extent, and took steps to temporarily
relieve the shortage. More wells are
needed at this time, but it was thought
best not to drive them at present.
Pipes will be laid however, and con-
nections made so that water can be
pumped from the river in case Of fire.
The street sprinkler was shut OIL
from the use Of water for sprinking
purposes, with the exception of what
was needed for use on the business
streets of the village. This of course
will afford temporary relief, but the
time is coming and in the near future,
when more wells will be an absoIut e
necessity
The council increased the wages of
assistant electricians Spooner and Will
liams from $40 to $40 per month, and
allowed miscellaneous claims in the
sum of Sj57.57

successes Of the day. The plot is we'll
