Wandered AWAY
FROM co. FARM
Cripple Leaves County
Hospital A 1t h on sh
Minus Both Feet.

A man nearly 70 years of age, who
has been an inmate at the county
hospital for some time. wandered away
from the farm last Saturday and no
trace OF him was found until Monday
when it was learned that be had reached
the vicinity of Bloomingdale. 1t was a
peculiar circumstance. The man is a
cripple, having lost both feet during the
war. He claims to be an old soldier and
made application to the soldiers home
for ad dmittance but seems to be unable
to prove that he was in service; hence
his case received no attention and the
man went to the county farm from
South Haven.
He became respondent and left the
place unknown to the ones in charge.
He walks on his knees which are
covered with leather pads and has
proven that where there's a will there's a
way.
A searching party made up Of the
employees and inmates of the farm were
out all Saturday night but had given up
as it was thought he had left the
county. He was not helpless as is
evident and will undoubtedly decide to
return. He had managed co traverse
nearly 20 miles.

ONE MORE VOTE
FOR THE CAUSE
Attractive Looking Woman
Secures One More Much
Needed Vote.

The fate of the average malone es-
pecally who is not working over time
on political Issues, is a peculiar one
If he does not wear "votes for women"
button he is asked the reason why he
does not. He really has not the time 70
explain why, but the question comes all
the same. A long suffering conductor
Oh the Fruit Belt was attacked a short
time ago by two good looking young
ladies who certainly ought to be able tc
help the cause if attractive looks and
persuasive language counts for anything
The dialogue was about like this:
Fares please" "Are you going tc
vote for woman suffrage this fall?'
"Fares please "Oh! yes, excuse me
| always have trouble getting into this
purse. But-what was / going to say
Oh now | know. Mr.. Conductor, you
will vote for woman suffrage, won't you
The train creaks so that / can't hear
what you say" And she smiled.
The man 10 the uniform said no--but
be will.

APPLE TREES ARE
STILL IN BLOOM
Apple Blossoms and Ripe Fruit Picked
from the Same Tree. Both
Perfect Specimens.

Everyone who lives in Paw Paw thinks
it the prettiest place on the map at all
times Of year. but especially is she
gorgeous in October with her adorn-
ment of rich coloring afforded by the
many maple trees. whose foliage is
touched by the frost just enough to
change them from their summer green
to the rich reds, yellow and shades of
brown. The landscape at this time
delights the eye and heart OF the artist.

Alfred Lee, living across the river,

the same time was taken fine large,

REPUBLICANS
ORGANIZE CLUB
Large and Enthusiastic
Meeting at Court House
Wednesday Evening.
FULL SET OF OFFICERS NAMED
Work Will Be Pushed from Now Until
Election Dav. Everybody to Get
Busy and Boost.

III any one is under the impression
that republicanism is dead in this neck
O. the woods, the fallacy of his impress
sion would have been speedily dissent
mated had he attended the meeting at
the court house Wednesday evening.
About fifty OF the representative men of
the city were in attendance and it was
the general consensus OF opinion that
from now until the2polls are closed on
November 5th there will be plenty OF
work to do and everybody present
Already $50 signatures have been
obtained by those expressing desire
to join the republican club, and more
are coming That things will hum
between now and election day, is very
apparent. The club will meet at the
council rooms on Saturday night and it
is proposed to hold series of meetings
during the next three weeks and every
effort will be made to get as many
interested 10 the club as possible.
AS predicted in The True Northerner,
the sentiment in this vicinity, as in Every
other locality in the land, is gradually
changing. Promises and theories are
no longer listened to with any degree Of
sincerity, and facts and conditions are
being seriously considered. To let we'll
enough alone seems to be the general
sentiment, and those with a fancied
grievance earlier in the campaign are
deciding that ali things considered, the
present administration is the one to
support and that change at this time
of general prosperity would work most
disastrously to the country.
The following were elected as officers
of the club:
President-C. &. Young.
Vice President-Enery Ball.
Secretary-Ford WILDER.
Treasurer-Roy Tuttle.

WILL DEFEND TITLE.

The billiard contest at the Maple City
attracted the attention of the lovers of
the game, and demonstrated the fact
that Paw Paw has some skillful manipu-
lators of the cue. Mr.. w. NJ. Harrett,
proprietor Of the the hall, offered a
prize of box of cigars to the winner
which was gathered in by Mark Chaffee,
who tried conclusions with Frank
Rogers, and succeeded in defeating that
gentleman in a 800 point game, 100
points each for three nights. The game
was for the championship of Paw Paw
and Mr.. Chaffee is now ready to meet
all comers who desire to dispute his
claims TO the championship.
