HOLD MEETING
Old Settlers Gather at So.
Haven for Enjoyable
Time.

The forty second annual meeting OF
the Pioneer society OF Van Buren, coun-
ty was held at Oakland park, South
Haven, last Friday, and between two
and three hundred people gathered to
enjoy the occasion.
The morning session was taken up
with the business OF the association in-
cluding election OF officers. The visi-
tors W ere welcomed by Alderman Hem.
enway, mayor pro tenn, in a few re-
marks, and was cleverly responded to by
Mrs. Olivia j. c. Woonman, OF this
place.
Rev. f. II. Harvey delivered the
principal address OF the afternoon, TAX
ing for his subject, "The Pioneer Days
Of Michigan" covering the ground OF
occupation, educational and political
history OF the state, bringing to mind
some OF the historical incidents of the
early days OF Van Buren, county with
which some OF his audience were famil-
lar.
County Commissioner V. X. Hunger
ford then spoke on "The Rural Scheol"
and proved himself thoroughly convers.
ant with the subject in hand.

A SMALL BLAZE.

Tuesday morning the fire company
was called out about 10 o'clock by an
alarm turned in from the west part of
town. Upon Investigation it was found
to be located across the river IN the
home OF G.. Il. Mather. The fire depart
ment did quick work reaching the scene
and by good planning and prompt ac-
tion succeeded in subduing what prom
ised to be big fire. The men kept the
flames from reaching the main portion
of the house, and the damage is all i'll
the kitchen and upper portion OF this
part. The loss has not been estimated.
Mr.. Mather is sounding the praises of
the men who saved his property and
says it could rot have been done with.
out good heads and hands. The de-
partment is all right-so say we all.

BULL MOOSE
PARTY LAUNCHED
Roosevelt and Johnson to
be Standard Bearers of
New Party.

The new national progressive party
met in convention at Chicago on Mon.
day for the purpose of nominating can
didates for president and vice president
of the United States. Every state was
represented, indeed the presentation
from several of the states being four
or five times the number entitled to
seats as delegates.
AS the only object OF the convention
was to nominate Colonel Roosevelt for
the presidency and to fipd a suitable
running mate for him, the work OF the
convention was not at all strenuous.
In fact, about the only question of dis
pute which occurred was that Of ad-
hitting the negro delegates from the
southern states, who were present as
contesting the seats of the white dele
gates. The arrival OF Colonel Roose-
velt on the scene, and his expressed
wish that the whites be admitted,
quickly decided the matter, however,
and the convention proceeded to accom-
plish that for which 1t was called. Gov.
Hiram w. johnson Of California was
nominated as vice president, no oppesi-
tion to his name being manifest.

G. A. R. MEET
WITH v. R. c.
And Join in Lay ing Corner
Stone of Memorial
Hall.
CEREMONIES VERY IMPRESSIVE
Program at Opera House in Afternoon
Was Most Enjoyable Affair. At
tendance Was Large.

The day dawned bright and beautiful
for the County Battalion reunion last
Thursday, and for the soldiers and all
their friends. In fact, every body stepped
little lighter and a trifie quicker to
keep time with the music of the band as
they, with the Post and Corps marched
up from the depot to the school ground
park, where the party pitched their
camp for the day.
The first ceremony of consequence was
the laying of the corner stone of the new
Memorial hall. A large crowd gathered
and with feelings of thankfulness and
reverence listened to the opening prayer.
The stone itself was a thing of interest
as it contained numerous articles, un-
conscious witnesses that will endure
long after the animated ones have passed
away and will some time, some day, be
brought to the light to tell the story OF
today. Following are the names of the
articles deposited in the stone:
Names of the president of the United
States and his cabinet; OF the governor
and state officers of Michigan; of the
officers OF Van Buren, county; Of the
officers of Paw Paw township; OF the
officers of the village of Paw Paw; roster
of Brcdhead Post No. 81, G.. A. r.; ros-
ter of Brodhead Womans' Relief Corps
No. 10; officers and members of Paw Paw

26, 1912; copy of the Paw Paw Free
Press and Courier, issue of July %, 1912
VIM. Killefer was master Of ceremo-
nies aud Contractor G. G. Young placed
the stone in position.
Next on the program was the dinner
and visiting in the park near the school
house. Here the tables were laid and a
very tempting array of seasonable things
were offered. Full justice was done to
this hour and then the baskets were
hustled away and the big family marched
with colors leading and the band in evil
dence to the opera house where the pro.
gram of the afternoon was presented.
Rev. a. I. uther opened the exercises
with pray er. He was followed by music
by a male quartette. Rev. e. H. Harvey
then addressed the audience and was re.
warded by the most diligent attention to
the end We wish only to say that it
was given in "Mr. Harvey's way"
which speaks v)lum es for that gentle
mans effort-more than many words
could tell A solo by Louis Bates and
a reading by Genevieve Conklin con-
.cluded the program.
The Van Buren county Battalion pic
mic will long be remembered by both
visitors and entertainers. Here is hop
ing that all those who participated in
Thursdays celebration may help to ded-
icate Memorial hall in November.

other fun making stunts.
AS the time for departure came and

smoothly, the program carried out to
the letter and all expressed themselves
as having a good time and that Paw Paw
did itself proud.
The management wish to thank those
who donated small amounts toward the
erection of our Memorial hall. Some
thought it advisable TO ask for contribu-

thing to invite people TO our town to
beg of them, although any contributions
sent in will be appreciated.
We felt proud of our village and sin.
cerely thank our merchants and citizens
for the fine display they made and to
all who contributed to make the day q
success, especially q. w. Bongwell fol-

1t will be observed that there are three
townships, Arlington, Geneva and South
Haven, that are not apportioned the full
amount to which the census would APP.
parently entitle them. The reason OF
this is that certain districts already 6ave
sufficient funds on hand to pay teachers
wages for two years to come and under
the law are not entitled to participate in
the distribution of primary money.
In the following precincts the primary
money actually exceeds the amount OF
state tax, as follows: Bangor, SlSS.75;
Bloomingdsle, 1928 %; Columbia, s23S.5S;
Covert, ll67.9S; Geneva, Sl7246; South

AN OLD RELIC IS
BROUGHT TO LIGHT

A despatch from Galesburg to
Kalamazoo pa~er tells the following
story of a doll belonging to the great
granddaughter of the late jeff Chatfee,
who was a resident Of Paw Paw for
many years and whose family still reside
here:
1T is not often that chld's doll has
so interesting history as the one now
treasured by Dorothy, the youthful
daughter of village Clerk Harry Shir-
ley.
More than so years since, Thomas j.
Chaffee, great grandfather OF the dolls
present owner, enlisted from Paw Paw
during the Civil war, and at the same
time a man bearing the name Of Hugo
also enlisted and it was while serving
in the southwest that the latter met and
married a Mexican woman having an
adopted daughter.
or rather a short time thereafter, Hugo
lost all trace OF his wife, owing to the
change in location OF both parties, but
managed to retain possession OF trunk
that belonged to his wife previous to
the marriage, until his death from
wounds in action.
Previous to his death, he turned the
trunk over to Chaffee and by the latter
it was finally brought to his Michigan
home at the close Of the war.
Later, every effort was made, to re-
store the trunk to relatives OF Hugo in
Buffalo, n. Y, but without success,
and finally, after lapse Of 80 years the
receptacle was recently broken open,
and among other things, the doll
referred to was found and at once
resumed its usefulness.
The trunk also contained, aside from
some mildewed articles of wearing
apparel, several Mexican cooking
utensils of copper that have distinctive
value, as curioslties.
The fate OF the original ownNr # the
doll and of her adopted no her, rs
unknown, but the aforesaid GO !. bear
ing its age wsll,is now fu y paturalized
resident OF Galesburg."
