FELLOWSHIP CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
One of the Most Successful Meetings
of the Year at the Home of
DIR. H. l.. Charles.

The Fellowship club was entertained
at the residence of DR.. II. l.. Charles
Wednesday night.
After the regular business, which in
clud5d the purchase of a stereopti-
con for the club, the program was
taken up DR.. Ferguson having charge.
Mrs. Eaton, our local reader, gave
several readings in her happiest manner,
and responded to repeated encores.
She was followed by Rev. f.. n. Harvey,
who is always spellbinder. He held
his audience in breathess interest as he
depicted the different kinds of humor
commencing at the time when Elijah
ridiculed the priests Of Baal when they
failed to bring down fire from the heav-
ems and finishing with eulogy on the
late Mark Twain, the prince of Ameri-
can humorists.
Mr.. Harvey subdivided humor into
different classes, contrasting the almost
brutal wit OF DR.. Johnson and Charles
Lamb and the keen satire of Voltaire
with the broad, good natured, exaggerat.
ed humor of American humorists of the
Ward, Nasty and Twain type, and ex-
planning how utterly impossible it was
for an Euglishman to appreciate it,
At the close of his remarks the reverend
gentleman received a perfect ovation,
and after couple of selections from
Mrs. Eaton, the two were gwen rising
vote of thanks. The program was
varied by congregational singing and
some excellent photograph selections.
Punch, waters and cake we're served
by the ladies of the committee and the
club adjourned to meet at the residence
Of VIC. Flock, May IL.

plies needed on the farm?
The freeze of last Saturday was dis
faster to every man in this community
Why? Because it very materially re-
duced the farmers income. Certain
people, including certain politicians
are seeking to 90 that by legisla
tive enactment. Cheap food means an
impoverished agriculture, il also means
IA lessened prosperity for every man in
every smaller town and country commu-
nifty, be be merchant or artisan. Is there
Paw Paw republican in favor of this?
II so, let him speak. ask the editor OF
the Courier, are not your sympathies
heartily with US in this matter The
resolution further says that we are in
favor of good wages" WhyY To say
that wages are high is to say that labor
is fully employed
The we'll paid laborer is one of the
farmers best customers He is potent
factor in the farmers prosperity. Does
any republican wish to see wages GO
down. Ii so, let US hear from him.
AS to "TinkerIng" with the tariff-On
the tariff question there is an honest
difference of opinion between the repub-
lican and the democrat.
The republican party stands to day
and has always stood for the protective
principal in tariff legislation. 1t will do
so in the future. The "insurgent repub-
licans" so called, are allied with the dem
ocrats in opposition. ] do not question
their honesty and sincerity, but it seems
to me that they belong and sooner or la
ter will land in the democratic party.
think the Courier will agree with me liz
this opinion.
In drawing this resolution | did not
have in mind the approaching senatorial
contest, for il Is safe to say that Senator
Burrows and Mr.. Townsend both will
stand squarely on the republican princi-
pie of protection, and neither will advo-
cate any policy that by lessening the
farmers income will cripple Michigan
Agriculture.
/ did have ia mind, however, and /
greatly desired to call the attention OF
others to the fact, that periodicals. and
politicians shouting for "cheap food" are
striking at us, and through US at every
country laborer, merchant and mechanic.

IMPORTANT MEET.
ING Of COUNCIL
Held Late Session Monday
Evening. Many Mat
ters of Importance.
CLAIMS PASTURE IS RUINED
f. c. Butler Asks $4,000 Damages.
Discussion Relative TO Fire Alarm.
Will Improve Island.

Many matters of Importance we're dis
posed of at the meeting of the village
council last Monday evening and the
hour was late when an adjournment
was taken.
The proposition of better system
OF fire alarm for the village was the
first to be taken up During the past
year many experiments have been made
on different systems to replace the old
alarm, which has become practically
useless. Some thought the plan of US
ing the bell on the Church of Christ
was feasible one and proposition was
submitted by the trustees of the church
to permit the village to attach an elec-
trio apparatus to the bell. The propo-
sition was not accepted however, and
the question is still under discussion.
Permission was granted q. w. Long
we'll, jr., to dig a sewer trench across the
road IN front of his residence.
The official bonds of Lewis Salisbury
as marshal and ii. G. Waters IL Co as
licensed plumbers were received and ac-
cepted.
The claim of $500 of +. G. Butler for
alleged damages TO II acre pasture lot
by reason of water tiltering through the
dykes at the new dam was referred to
the electric light committee.
On motion II was voted that the vii
lage quit claim to Van Buren, county all
title and interest IN the Elizabeth Coon
estate on payment OF Sl4 Al aud interest.
Tins estate was bid in by ii. l.. Mcneil
as trustee for the village for the taxes
of 1907 and 1908 and was decided by Mrs.
Coons To Van Buren, county just prior
to her death.
A petition was signed by p residents
on North Kalamazoo street declaring
the sheds, which extend west from
the Dyckman house livery barn to the
sidewalk, To be unsightly and public
nuisance and praying hat the same be
moved back twenty feet from the walk,
was presented and referred to the con-
mlttee on streets.
The petition of A. w. Showerman, b.
f. Warner and w. j. Warner, asking
permission to terrace the street in front
of their residences on Kalamazoo street
was also referred to the street commit
tee. The new plat of b. b. Longwell's
addition to the village of Paw Paw was
referred to the same committee.
! George l.. Bruuer presented several
propositions to furnish gravel for the
village streets, and on motion the mat
ter was left with the committee on
streets and the village marshal to close
a contract for the proper graveling Of
Main street.
! w. j. Thomas requested that the
board take some action IN regard to the
removal of the stumps on Maple Island
and from the water surrounding the
same. Also the matter of setting out a
suitable variety and number of shade
trees on the island A yea and nay vote
was referred to the street committee
with full power to act.
The grading and terracing of West
Main street was discussed, but action on
the same was deferred until later
meeting
The usual budget Of claims were al
| 10 wed.

? FRUIT GROWERS
MORE OPTIMISTIC
Damage From Freeze Not
as Serious as Was
Anticipated.
THERE WILL Be A FAIR CROP
Of All Kinds of Fruit is the General
Opinion of Growers After a
Thorough Investis alton.

1t is not so bad after all, and the gen
eral verdict is that Paw Paw will have
ut least 90 per cent crop of all kinds of
fruit. Reports from various parts of
the fruit belt at this time seem to verify
the above statement and show that con-
ditions resulting from the severe weather
of the past week are not nearly as disas-
trous as at first reported,
Last Saturday morning, following the
hard freeze of Friday night, the outlook
was rather dubious, not only here, but
in all parts of south western Michigan,
and all day Saturday icicles hanging
from the caves of buildings and the
mercury lowering around the freezing
point presented rather gloomy aspect.
Weather conditions since that time,
however, have beon very favorable un-
der the circumstances. 1t has been cool
and cloudy, and the general opinion is
that where hot sun would have killed
every bud and blossom that had been
been saved and will recover from the
effect of the storm.
Apples and cherries did not apparent
ly suffer as much as grapes, and while
there will not be a full crop. the condi-
tions might be much worse. Ia some
sections the grape buds that we're out
are ali reported killed, but there will un-
doubtedly be enough more come on to
insure at least fair crop.
There are some growers who still take
a pessimistic view of the outlook, and
say that everything has "gone TO the
dogs, but the more conservative, and
experienced growers assert that there
will be fair crop of fruit of all kinds.
l.. e. Shepard, who spent last Saturday
10 "sobbing', anu devising plans TO keep
himself and family from starvation next
year, now pledges his reputation for
truth and veracity, and MS honor as an
honest man, that there will be a fifty
per cent crop On his state ueut the
general feeling of gloom which was pres
ent on Saturday and Sunday, has been
dspelled, and general feeling of optim-
ism prevails.
The effect of the severe freeze is par
ticularly noticeable in the leaves of the
maple trees which line the streets. The
young and tender leaves which we're just
beginning to spread out, look as though
they had been scorched by fire and 1t is
somewhat doubtful as to what effect it
may have on the trees.

FARM PRODUCTS. JASON
WOODMAN MAKES REPLY

following resolutions we're offered by
Hon. Jason Woodman, and passed with

eve the republicans Of Paw Paw

with the tariff and pledge ourselves TO

for good prices, good wages and the re-
servation of American markets for the
products of American mines, factories
and farms"

ring to the above resolutions, stated that
it did not believe the resolutions were
generally endorsed by the republicans of
Paw Paw.

the Courier.

action taken by the last republican eau
