The electric railroad proposition is again
IN the air Whether or not anything
tangible will result from the agitation is
question, but one thing is certain,
the people Of Paw Paw are willing to
cooperate with any man or company
of men, who really mean business. There
is no question but what there will be an
electric road through Paw Paw some
time in the future, but when, is aro e
question.
Wm. G. Plumb, who has been in Paw
Paw the greater part Of his time during
the past year, is the promoter of the
present agitation. At the reg gular coun-
Gil meeting last Monday right, he ap-
peared before the council and presented
an ordinance or frauchise, asking the
village to accept the same, and order an
election at the coming viIbge election.
Under the new law, the granting of
railway franchise through a village or
township, is up to the voters of said vii
lage and township Such franchise can
20 longer be granted by village councils
or township boards. The ordinance as
presented by Mr.. Plumb is rather vague

BOOSTERS CLUB
WAS ORGANIZED
Fifty-fve Business and
Professional Men Sat
Down to Luncheon.
At DYCKMAN HOUSE TUESDAY
Officers Elected. Boosters Club"
Would be of Inestimable Value to
the Community.

Paw Paw is to have a good, full grown
live Boosters Club. Plans looking
to the organization of such club were
launched in the Dyckman House dining
room last Tuesday, when 30 of the busi-
ness aud professional men of the village
sat down TO business mems lunch.
Harry l.. Mcneil is the originator OF
the plan here, although similar organi
zations exist in many Of the cities and
villages of the state. While ip Detroit,
last week, Mr.. Mcneil was invited to
a business mems lunch at the Cadillac
hotel. While there he learned that it
was an organization of business men,
who met on stated occasions and at reg
uar intervals and lunched together
Frequently some speaker would enter
tain them after luncheon, and Mr. Nc
Neil conceived the idea that such an
organization would De of inestimable
value to the village OF Paw Paw. He
accordingly laid his plans before the
business and professional men, and
the result of his efforts have up to this
time been eminently successful.
AS already stated, 80 sat down to
lunch, and many favorable comments
we're heard as to the quality and the
quantity Of the eatables, aud the
prompt manner in which it was served
Landlord Stephenson is certainly to be
congratulated on the luncheon.
After the plates were cleared, and
cigars lighted, an organization was COM
pleted with the following officers. II
l. Mcneil, president; w. h. Sellick,
vice president; Guy Warner, secretary.
On motion of r. J. Cavanaugh, the
president was authorized to appoint a
committee OF five To draft a constitution
and bylaws, and to report at the next
meeting. The chairman announced the
following COMMITTEES: 7. J. Cavanaugh,
Arthur Miller, DIR. o. e. Lanphear, w.
J Warner and H. c. Waters. Many
of he business and professional men
present offered remarks and suggestions
for the success and ultimate good to be
acc )mplished by such 80 organization
rhe next meeting of the club will be
held at the Dyckman house on Tues
day, February 8, at one o'clock p. m.
f. n Wakeman, w. j Warner aud III.
A. Cole were appointed committee to
provide for entertainment at that time.
1t is possible that some of the bus-
ness or professional men OF the village
did not know OF the first meeting Ii
so they should by all means be present.
The organization is for everyone who Is
interested in the welfare and prosperity
of the village, and if everyone will take
an interest, the meeting of Tuesday
will result in Boosters Club" that
will Boost"

THE NEW COMET IS STRANGER
To The Solar System. Not the HALEY
Comet as Some Have Thought.
Will Soon Disappear.

People all over the country have been
greatly interested during the past week,
in the appearance OF gigantic comet.
1t can be seen just above the western
horizon, immediately after sunset.
Many have had the impression that this
was the famous HALEY comet, but such
is not the case. 1t is known rs the
Johannesburg comet, aud is stranger
to the solar system The following clip
ping from the Chicago Record Herald
will throw some light on the subject:
Data received 10y Professor Fox OF
Northwestern university from Harvard
college yesterday indicate that the Jo-
hannesburg comet which is now visible
To observers IL stranger to the solar
system The orbit of che comet, this in
formation explains, is a parabola. The
visitor has reached the end of its jour
ney and its course is now away from the
sun, so that within a short time it will
completely disappear. Owing to the
fact that the tail in the form of a cor
nncopa and that the hollow end OF it is
turned toward the earth, the comet ap-
pears to have two tails. This, the Har-
ward astronomers say, is only an optical
illusion. 1t is possible that the comet'e
orbit may be an extended eilipse. If
this is true, then its elliptical journey is
very long, for there are 10 records of it
having been seen from the earth before. +"
