When quite a young man he went to

life were spent. 1t was here that be met

e Sage of Hastings, the wedding taking
place May Is, 1882 Two children, both

this union.

zen and one of its successful business
men. Coming to Paw Paw i've years

he has so conducted himself and his
business as to win the respect and APP.
prevail of the people generally. He was
the same man here that he was through
out his life-genial, frank, honest and
sympathetic. These qualities endeared
him to his family, and enabled him to

increasing circle.
He vas an honored member of the

Work of Boosters Club.

Much good has come from the
Boosters club during its short
existence. Many points and
suggestions originating in the
club, have been acted upon to
the good Of the village. There
still remain, however, several
important things to be done.
Among the most important are
the erection Of sanitary public
drinking fountain, a ladies rest
room, further steps taken for
the identifying of Maple island,
and the building Of docks and
the Improvement of west Main
street on the lake. Some Of
these things at least have al
ready received the attention of
the city council, and the others
should have attention at an early
date. All are important and can
be taken care Of with little ex-
pense. The banks Of the lake
on west Main street could be
graded, docks built, trees set
out and otner things done to
make it the most attractive spot
in Paw Paw. 1t should by all
means be done. Nothing should
be left undone that it is possible
to accomplish, to make Paw
Paw more attractive for visitors,
and for the comfort and satisfac-
ton of its residents.

Last Monday afternoon Hon.
John + Bird took the oath of
Office as judge of the supreme
court of Michigan. He takes
the place made vacant by the
resignation of Judge Montgom-
cry. Mr.. Birds successor as
attorney general is Hon. Franz
G. Kuhn, a prominent attorney
and former judge of probate of
McComb county. His selection
is conceded to be an excellent
one, but has spread consterna
ton among the various candi-
dates who we're planning to en-
ter the campaign for nomination
at the primaries this fall. Mr..
Kuhn is well known, and a man
of splendid attachments. He
will be a formidable candidate
for nomination at the primaries,
and it is extremely doubtful if
there is man in the state who
can defeat him.
Harry Chase, who has been
deputy attorney general for
many years, will remain as Mr..
Kuhn's deputy. He is a Van
Buren, county boy, and has be-
come practically indispensable
to the attorneys generals Office.

The answer is, the minority is mot

and another reason is that the manipu-

may artistically skin the Democrats in
the country when there is need for it.

WEATHER AND CROPS
The Estimated Yield of Cotton Is from
Twelve to Thirteen Million Bales.
Conditions Have Been Favorable to
an Increase.

New Orleans Picayune: The past
week has developed the first important
cold wave Of the season. Killing frost
was experienced i'll the more norther1y
sections of the cotton belt, and appre-
ciable frost was experienced in the CEN
trail and southern portions of the best
almost TO the coast line. Fortunately the
cold snap was accompanied by little rain
and has been followed by clear and
rather warm weather, SO that the injury
to vegetation has not been as consider
able as might have been expected. While
the cold wave was rather severe for Oc-
tober, it has come SO late in eoinparisoH
with other years that the crop, which
has been all along from two TO three
weeks late, has had an opportunity to
make up good deal of the lost tinlc.
While a wide difference of opinion
exists as to the size of the crop, opinion
lias shifted recently in the direction of
larger figures than were current several
weeks back The crop instead Of losing
ground during October, as il The general
rule, either held its own Or improved.
Owing to the warm weather f,i.ri1 cot
ton that might not other wise e4ve ma
ttred developed, and as the weather fav-
cred picking and ginning, 4 larger yield
Las been harvested than was looked for
at the opening of the seastn on Scptein-
Der |. Crop estimates nov vary from
ti1e ssme figure as last ven to the neigh
borhood Of 100000 bales, with con-
servative opinions leaning towards fig
ure little in excess Of 100000.
The corn crop has been harvested, and
as indicated for some time past the
South has produced a record yield of
corn Rice harvesting has also made
good progress, and the crop is now pref
ty well disposed Of as far as the harvest
ing operations are concerned. Prices
have not been as satisfactory as could
have been wished, however.
The past week has been favorable to
the sugar cane crop. The weather has
been colder, and as d result the canes
have matured more rapidly. There is
little doubt that a heavy tonnage has
been produced, and all that is now
needed to insure a satisfactory yield is
sufficient cold weather 10 arrest growth
and mature tie canes.

A RETRACTIoN REQUESTED.

It appears that Judge Simon E. Bald
win, Democratic nominee for Governor
of Connecticut has requested by letter
that Roosevelt retract some statement
connecting him with false position be-
fore the people.
It will be surprising if Roosevelt
should condescend the request. His re-
cord in such matters is that he never has
explained nor retracted What Roose-
welt said i'll vindictive spirit of Jeffer-
son Davis and of other men still remain
unretracted. Great men never hesitate
if necessary when in error or guilty OF
wrong, but Roosevelt is always right
and he never retracts nor explains as
would man who is great, not in his
self-esteem but great because there is
no littleiess in or about him.
