ton, is to be established in South Haven

interested
1t Is understood that a machine shop

decided upou, but one on Eagle street
may be selected, or Que on Phoenix
street, which is now being considered,

The number of automobiles in South
Haven has almost doubled over that If

mand for such an establishment here.
The Johnson and other repair shops are
doing all they can and are busy most of
the time with orders ahead. The field for
the sale of auto supplies here is good

a crippled auto from top to bottom, store
autos in good shape for the winter, or
supply all sorts of auto fixtures and

Fire Got Big Start in Hay.

A terrific electric storm swept over
Paw Paw last Saturday evening. Several
buildings were struck by lightning, one
barn partially burned, the telephone

filled with electricity. Flash after flash
of lightning followed one another in
quick succession and for a time it seemed
as though nearly every building in the
village had been struck.
In the midst Of the storm the fire
alarm sounded and it was learned that
Dr. w. J Johnsons barn had been
struck by lightning and was on fire.
Nearly all of the firemen were at home
at the time, out they made a record
run and soon had two streams of water
on the burning building The loft of
the barn was filed with hay aud the
lower part with buggies, tools and two
horses, one the valuable French draft
stallion, Ugolin. The horses were
stunned by the shock but were lead out
to a place of safety. The buggies and
tools were also taken out, but the hay
and the doctors medicines and veteri-
nary instruments were destroyed
The fremen are to be commende1 for
their work at this fire. 1t was a full
