went down to see the the cause
of the disturbance and when she |
opened the door, she saw a large |
pasteboard box sitting near on
the porch, the box containing a
boy baby about a month old.
The young lady informed her

also that there was some one or

early after breakfast the sheriff
was notified of the case.

understood, but it appears that
he joined her again at Bosworth
after the birth of the child.

II is said, however, that Hamilton town.
ship does not enthuse very much over
the matter, 1t is regretted that sim
gle township along the proposed line
should hesitate about accepting the con-

pulling hard for the road, and while it

SHIPPED OUT 10
CARS OF CHERRIES

While the strawberry crop this year
was partial failure and the prospects
are not very good for a grape crop, no
one can deny but that 1T has been a
bumper year for cherries. The largest
crop of cherries in this locality for many
years has already been harvested and
some varieties are yet on the trees.
There has been up to this time l6 car
loads of cherries shipped out of Paw
Paw. The price has been fair, most II
the common varieties selling in Chicago
for Sl.00 to S1.25, while some of the
choice varieties have brought much
higher price.
