Some Suggestions Which Should be
Farmers Who Contemplate
Having Auction Sales.

the auction was advertised has been
perfectly satisfied with the results. The
True Northerner has a large circulation
The local field as we'll as all the town
ships tributary thereto are thoroughly
covered by this paper. An auction ad-
vertsed in its columns is sure to get a
crowd at the sale few dollars spent
in advertising with a paper that has a
large circulation is always returned
many fold We refer you to any one of
the parties who have advertised an auc-
tion in the columns of The True North
erner for corroboration of our statement.
Every farmer who proposes to hold an
auction during the spring would do well
to call at this office at least two weeks
before the date OF same, look over our
subscription list and learn our advertis-
ing rates, and we feel sure we can make
money for him, as well as do some bust
ness for ourselves. That is frank, isn't
it? But we fully realize that the only
way this paper can do any business is tC
get business for its patrons And GER
tainly there is no more profitable tielc
than the advertising of auctions In g
newspaper that has the circulation anc
reaches the people.

SENIORS ARE ENTERTAINED.

The seniors of the Paw Paw high
school were recently entertained by their
respected professor and his wife, Mr.
and Mrs. O'Leary. Every senior was
present, each representing either by
their raiment or by something attached
to their person some popular book. A
feature Of the evening was the hastily
organized German band, which with
the professor as leader promensded
through the entire house. After deli
cious refreshments were served and a
few games enjoyed, in behalf OF the sen.
iors, the president of the class expressed
in few appropriate words his thanks
for an invitation to such an enjoyable
entertainment. The adieus were then
said, and the guests departed feeling
sorry that they were not to spend an.
other year in school and thus again
enjoy so pleasing an evening.

The Fellowship club of the Presby-

PASSED AWAY VERY SUDDENLY
Mrs. Mary Showerman Died of Apo
plexy Last Monday. Loved by
all Who Knew Her.

This community was shocked and
grie we'd last Monday when the sad news
spread over the village that Mrs. Mary
Showerman, widow of the late j. f..
Showerman, had passed suddenly away
at her home in this village. She was 20
years old at the time Of her death and
had been in her usual good health.
Monday afternoon Mrs. w e. Shower
man and daughter Bonnabelle were
there and Mrs. Showerman seemed un.
usually bright and cheerful. She was
entertaining Bonnabelle with some pic
lures, when she suddenly placed ber
hands to her head made some remark
about being in pain and in moment
had gone to her long rest. A physician
was hastily summoned, but her spirit
had flown. Apopexy was given as the
cause of her death.
Mary Ann Showerman was born in
New York state, but had lived in Paw
Paw nearly all her life. Her husband, j
Il Showerman, who was at one time
sheriff of Van Buren, county, preceded
her to the great beyond about two years

WILL GIVE LECTURE HERE.
for Benefit of Monument Fund.
Comments of the Press.

Rev. G. r. Varney has kindly con-
sented to deliver a lecture in Paw Paw
in the near future for the benefit of the
monument fund
Mr.. Varney has been with the
Slayton lyceum bureau FOR several
years, which is evidence of his ability as
lecturer. He recently gave his lecture,
Apples of Gold," 10 Memphis, Tenn
and we clip the following comments
from the Memphis Commercial Appeal
of the 10th inst:
"Apples of Goldi was the subject OF a
lecture delivered last night at the Good
wyn institute by Charles +. Varney be-
fore large audience.
The lecture was discourse on the
use and abuse of the English lang uage
and gave rare opportunity for drawing
word pictures of great men and events
while on the other hand a trace of wit
and humor was discernable throughout
its course, often provoking the audience
to continuous uproars of laughter. This
does not mean that Mr.. Varney endeav.
ored to play the role of humorlst as
seen by the commonplace lecturer, but
il was rather an impressive fountain o.
humor which now and then would bub
BILE forth in spite of the speaker.
Mr.. Varney proved to be master o.
the English language, his words anc
phrases being as clear cut as a crystal
bis style impressive and his theme abl +.
and interestingly handled" "

An auction is just like a circus ia one
respect that is. to hold either a success
full auction or successful circus it is
necessary to get crowd The circus
holds one day. Without a crowd it is a
failure. The auction lasts one day.
Without crowd the sale is slow, the
bids are few and far between, the result
is failure, at least in comparison to
what it would oe with a large crowd.
There is never any question as to the
method used by the circus to get a
crowd 1t is done by advertising. No
money is spared to let the people know
when the circus is to be in town and
what it offers the people.
The same course should be pursued
with auctions The farmer who holds
an auction without thoroughly adverts-
Ing the same cannot get nearly as large
n crowd as he would by liberal advertis-
ing The more people there are to buy,
the greater chance for bids, the more
money the auctioneer can get for the
farmers goods.
Many auctions have been advertised
in the columns of The True Northerner
during the past two years and in each
and every instance the party for whom
