Lawrence School and Cit.
izens Join in Reception
TO Entertainers.
PROGRAM IS WELL RECEIVED
Splendid Entertainment and Cordial
Reception Clements Friendship of
Sister Schools.

Last Friday night the band and those
who we're fortunate enough to take part
on the program at Lawrence were
treated to one OF the best times in the
history of the two schools. From the
time of arrival in the fair little village
until the departure the next day, every
thing was done by the Lawrence people
to make the stay one to be remembered.
10 start things off right, Mr.. Perce's
junior and senior girls, assisted by some
of the prominent ladies of the town en-
tertained the entire party to a six
o'clock banquet. The manner of serv-
ing, together with the taste displayed
in decoration and viands was an elo-
quent testimony to the ability and origi-
nalitY of those In charge. After few
happy remarks by Supt's Pierce and
Mccormick and Principal Donovan the
concert was given.
1t was source of much inspiration
to the performers to have the Lawrence
people show their appreciation in the
whole hearted manner in evidence
throughout the entire program. Every
number was eEcored and we'll received.
Although there were a number of school
children in the audience, it was we'll
behaved and gave wrapt attention, a
fact that speaks very favorably for the
schools.
A short party was given the visitors
ia the hall at the close of the program
after which all disbanded. The splen-
did homes were thrown open and every
one was we'll taken care Of Each one
of the party tried to impress all the
others that he had been assigned to the
best place.
Perhaps the very best result of this
inter school event is the establishment
of the proper relations between the two
neighboriDg schools. There should be
no bitterness between the schools on
account of the respective achievements.
Rather, each school should be proud of
the good work done in any line by the
other
The band and all connected with the
concert wish to extend to Supt. Pierce,
the students and teachers of the Law
renee schools, and to the citizens, their
sincere appreciation of the treatment
given.
The following letter received by Supt.
Mccormick the next day after tine en-
tertainment will give some idea of the
merit OF the program, and the reception
it received ct the hands of the splendid
audience that greeted the company of
Paw Paw students and teachers:
Nv Dear Mr. McCormick.-
want to congratulate YOU on
the fine entertainment you and Your
pupils rendered at Lawrence last night.
| have attended amateur entertainments
for forty years and never heard one as
grand as last night. Miss Cole is won

her. Also Miss Snow for her years

WATERS HOME BADLY
DAMAGED BY FLAMES
Fire Caught from Range in Kitchen.
Stubborn Blaze TO Fight. Contents
Ruined by Smoke and Water.

Fire badly damaged the beautiful
Harry Waters residence Thursday fore
noon. The fire probably started from
the kitchen range or chimney.t Mrs
Waters was in her mothers home next
door at the time, and had left dinner
cooking on the range. She had been
out probably half hour when she saw
the interior of the kitchen IN flames.
The fire department responded
promptly to the alarm, and 5000 had
two streams OF water on the blaze. 1t
was stubborn fire TO fight, however,
as the flames had eaten their way into
the partitions and under the roof. The
department did valiant service and after
an hour of hard fighting the flames were
subdued.
The kitchen is practically ruined and
the contents of the main part of the
residence badly damaged by suoke and
water. The loss is covered by insurance.

PULLETS PROVE
MONEY MAKERS
G.. b. Southworth Makes
Record with His Rhode
Island Reds.

G. b. Southworth Of this city, gives
the following egg record from 36, 1911
pullets, and when we consider the
extremely cold winter we have passed
through, we do not hesitate to place
this record as being far above the
average for winter layers.
These pullets are of the Rhode Island
Red variety, the original stock coming
from Rhode Island about two
years ago, from large chicken farm
there. The record was kept from No
vember lst, to March 10, just 135 days
The whole number of eggs layed by
these pullets during this time was 2,970
or 24715 dozen, an average of about S3
eggs to the hen or about seven broods.
This record would easily place these
pullets on the 200 egg list.
These eggs sold from &c to 35c per
dozen, nearly all of them being marketed
10 Chicago. Mr. Southworth is e
practical poultry man. His birds mum
Der many classy individuals, which are
second to none, and he takes great
pride in mating and caring for them,
which insures results both as egg pro.
ducers and getting strong perfect chicks
He is thoroughly informed, and can give
valuable pointers on poultry raising and
.egg production.

1t was rumored on the streets Thurs
day morning that Mayor Rose had
drC pDed dead on the streets OF San
Francisco. The Chicago papers report
ed despatch from Milwaukee of the
rumor but later il was declared to be
untrue. Undoubtedly it started in much
the same manner as the report circu-
lated on the streets of South Haven
last Tuesday, that Sheriff Sowle had
been shot while making an arrest in
Hartford. Strange how such reports
gets circulated, but it was ever tn us.
