WORKED SMOOTH GAME.

We have been informed that our
"story" OF last week under the head OF
Have they been stung" was slightly
mixed 1t is the business men of Paw
Paw that have been "stung" and not the
people in the Brummel relghborhood.
1t seems that about three months ago a
very pleasant affable lady called on the
business places in the village and repre-
sented that she was soliciting advertise
ing for Sunday school book which she
was going to present to the Brummel
Sunday school. Every member of the
school was to receive book. The lads
cost 100 per page, money in advance.
Quite number of the Paw Paw mer.
chants gave orders for full page sad,
and the lady departed That is the last
that has been heard Of the proposition,
and the probable facts are that the deal
was fake from start to finish.

LAST Of GRAPES
FOR THIS YEAR
Everything is Now Quiet
at the Dump" A
Prosperous Year.
AP PPROXIMATES S2OO,OOO.OO
Five Miles in Length. Brought
Satisfactory Prices.

Paw Paw depot during the fruit sea-
son has been known for years as the
dump" This year the business dur
ing the grape season has been enormous
when viewed from an outsiders stand
point. The refrigerator cars loaded this
year would make A train over five miles
long and the loads brought on wagons
TO till these cars would, in close forma-
ton, form procession over twenty
miles long, or more than reaching from
here to Kalamazoo.
The quality of the fruit has as rule
been good, but probably over 80 cars of
bulk, largely affected by rot. have been
shipped for wine or Jelly stock, and most
of the 8 pound baskets brought in since
the freeze will undoubtedly go to winer-
ies The largest number of cars billed
in one day was ~ aud as it dwindled to
two or three daya passenger got off the
Tag train" from Kalamazoo and leaned
up against telephone pole and solilo-
quzed: 1T beats-hic- hi how navi
alton keeps open"
The great crop is harvested by all the
local help that can be procured, assisted
by the army of fioaters known as "hobos," /"
and as the "Bo'" combs the straw out Of
hair with his fingers, finishes his stew
and watches the last string OF coolers
loaded with purple clusters steam away,
he either hikes for the potato fields or
hits the bumpers or blind baggage for
the Sunny South.
The amount Of money paid for help
in the Paw Paw belt will reach $4,000
and the crop will approximate 100000.
At one time it seemed that the railroad
would be unable to furnish cars enough,
but the service has been quite satisfac-
tory. Here's to the g.ape-the Purple
Queen!

LETTER FROM |. h. BAILEY.
Ate First Meal Here in 1S43. Came
from Vermont. A Lifelong Demo-
crat. No Faith in Republicans.

The True Northerner is in receipt Of
an interesting letter from Liberty III.
Bailey of South Haven. Mr.. Bailey is
one of the oldest livieg pioneers in Van
Buren county, and is known by nearly
every one, ooth young and old. Among
other things he states as follows in his
letter:
81 see by your paper that Jesse
Brown of Paw Paw ate his first zeal
there Ga years ago | think | can beat
him. l ate my first meal in Van Buren
county, September 20, l643, and had
three good meals day for two weeks
after that was engaged in making a
medicine patented by | W. Willard. and
called extract of corn. Each farmer had
tansy bed and a jug of "corn juice" for
the ague Every body had the ague at
that time. / came from Vermont, and
it took me longer to get here than il did
Mr.. Brown, as | came from Detroit by
boat The NJ G r. Il. was surveyed TO
St. Joseph at that time There were no
saloons, and no one could get drunk but
the poor Indian"
Mr Bailey compares conditions rela-
tive to the liquor question at that time
and now 1t might also be said that be
has been life long democrat, and that
he takes occasion in his letter to roast
the republican party to turn. be says
that "if the republican party remains in
power ten years longer the majority of
voters will be Jail birds or criminals.
Those who are acquainted with Mr..
Bailey, however, will not take the above
statement seriously. He states that he
has been a justice of the peace for 20
years, and that his name is not known
in the Van Buren, county Jail or court
house.

THROWN FROM AUTOMOBILE.
Mrs. +. L. Parks Severely Bruised and
Shocked. Machine Crashed into
Tree. Other Occupants unhurt.

r. T.. Parks met with an automobile
accident last Tuesday that might have
resulted seriously As it was Mrs. Parks
was severely bruised and sprained aud
the new h. NJ. +. touring car was badly
wrecked.
Mr. and Mrs. Parks, Mrs. Ed Bullard
and Mrs. Will Ball had been to Decatur
to attend the funeral of Mrs. A. n.
Chamberlain. They were returning via
the east Decatur road and had gone
about 2l5 miles from Decatur when the
accident occurred. They encountered
some fresh soil which had been recently
drawn ia at the bottom of the hill and
the machine skidded to one side, causing
Mr. Parks to partially lose control of
the machine, when it crashed into a
tree, throwing Mrs. Parks to the ground
with considerable force The other oc-
cupants remained in the car and were
uninjured. Mrs. Parks was brought to-
her home Tuesday evening and it is
hoped that she may recover from the
severe shock in a few days The car
was badly wrecked and was drawn back
to Decatur for repairs.
Mr.. Parks is a very slow and careful
driver and says that 1t all happened so
quickly that he is hardly able TO describe
or tell Just how it happened.

SYKES CONVICTED
OF "BOOTLEGG|NG'
Has Long Been Suspected
of Conducting Illicit
Booze Business.
CRIMINAL CALENDAR ENDED
Birney Case Goes Over the Term.
Mcdowell and Loomis We're
Both Acquitted.

John Sykes has at last been convicted
OF the crime commonly known as boot
Logging" 1t has long been matter of
common knowledge that Sykes was con-
ducting an illicit "booze" business, aud
be has been arrested and tried many
times, but has always managed to es.
cape conviction until this time and il
would be difficult to find am honest, law
abiding citizen who would express any
sympathy for him. "Bootlegging" is
one of the most detestable Of crimes and
the evidence in this case shows that
ykes was in the habit of going to Kal-
amazoo and buying liquor, which he
would bring home IN suit cases, baskets
and even gasoline cans and dispose of
the same to his cronies and friends.
After listening to tie evidence in the
case the Jury retired and returned ver-
dict of guilty in about one and one-half
hours. 1t is not known what the sem
tence will be, but owing to the circum-
stances of the case aud the previous
reputation of Sykes he ought to receive
the maximum penalty Of the law. As
told in Il previous issue OF The True
Nortberner, he plead guilty to viola
tion OF the local option law and paid a
fine of 500 and costs in 1893, and has
been before the court on similar charge
on numerous occasions since that time.
During the trial of the Sykes case
Frank Sykes, a brother Of respondent,
was called as a witness for the people,
but refused to be sworn or to answer
any questions. Judge Des Voignes or
dered the sheriff to take the witness to
Jail. He was released in the evening
and ordered to report to the court later.
The other matters of Importance dis
posed of since our last issue are as fol-
lows:
Hartman Loomis of Bangor acquitted
of a charge OF statutory rape;
James Mcdowell OF Bloomingdale, ac-
quilted of the crime of adultery;
Charles Weller of Bloomingdale, plead
guilty to the crime of abandonment OF
his family.
This closes the criminal calendar for
the term. The only case to 60 over the
term was the embezzlement case against
+. j. Birney OF Lawton.
