TOUCHING MEMORIES
OF THE OLDEN DAYS

Our good friend Wilbur f. War
ner of Grand Rapids has been in
reminiscent mood of late, and we are
pleased TO publish herewith a letter
from his pen, which he has headed
"Reminiscences. The letter will be
of special interest to the older res
idents of Paw Paw, and the friends
of Mr.. Warner in general.
$50 many changes by way of death
in the past year have entered my
circle of acquaintance, it causes me
to enumerate especially two events in
my lifewhich have been brought so
forcibly to my mind of late.
81 was born in the township of AL
mena, 70 years ago, in a log house
built by my father 81 years ago on
what was known as the Warner
Farm (now the Tex Sprague farm),
two miles north and east of Paw Paw.
1t was then a wilderness. Within a
radius of one mile in the township
of Antwerp and Almena, lived four
families which willenter particularly
into this story,--the Gilmans and the
Lanes, Barnums and Warmers. In
those families there were two in each
family of about the same ages, max
ing eight in all that grew up to man.
hood and womanhood on those farms
and attended school first in the said
tnh
Jennie and Samuel Gilman, Irving
and Arlette Lane, Fred and Nettie
Barnum, my brother Jerome and my
self. In those sparcely settled days,
friends were friends indeed and
there naturally grew up lasting re-
membrance of those early times.
History tells me that Fred Bar
mum lost his life in the Civil War.
Samuel Gilman died afew years later
and Irving Lane died at Harbor
Springs several years ago. The re-
naming five were left until about
one year ago, when death claimed
Jennie (Gilman) Averill at Benton
Harbor. Last November Arlette
(Lene) Free and N.Y. brother Jer-
home were called just one day apart |
in Paw Paw, and little later, Nettie
(Barnum) Chapman died in Califor-
MIA, thus leaving myself the only re-
naming one Of the original eight |
who grew from childhood up together.
Father time and memory carries |
me along to another mile stone in my
life, which was recalled by the death |
of VIM. j. Sellick a few days ago.
Harking back some 45 years, l was
then clerk in the store of f. w. and |
w. j. Sellick in the smart town of |
Paw Paw. Our force consisted of |
the two mentioned, together with
Robert Sellick, Frank Kelly, Jay
Cummings and myself. We put in
about IA hours together each day
of hard work in that store, for in
those days there were five good dry
goods stores there which brought an
immense trade from all parts of the
county. That was before railroads
and automobiles were known there,
and we were the center of alarge bus
mess district. Out of the entire list
of proprietors and clerks in all those
stores, which must have numbered
about twenty, if my memory serves
me correctly, remains only John w.
Free and myself. He was then clerk
in A. Sherman's store.
"Outside of the two events / have
particularized here, ] could mention
many of my dear friends who have
left the circle within the past year
or so, but you are all familiar with
that, so l cease my "reminiscences"
Very Truly Yours,

FLORAL ARISTOCRATS.

Difficult to Raise Them.

Difficult TO Raise Them.
Aristocrats Of the flower kingdom
and probably the least understood.
You hear them called parasites, which
Is only one Of the common mistakes
made about the orchid. You see a
hundred different shapes and a dozen
different colors grouped together, each
shape perhaps q distinct family and
each with a separate name.
In the first place, orchids are not
parasites. A parasitfcal plant is one
which gets nourishment from another
plant Certain orchids live on trees,
but they get their food and drink from
the air by means Of aerial roots. We
call them epiphytes. Other orchids
get their nourishment> directly from
the ground. They're called terrestrial
orchids.
People don't understand, either,
why orchids cost 50 much. They fail
TO see why a tiny plant Is sold for,
say, $1,000 II they realized that rare
orchids may have cost a long trip
into q tropical jungle to obtain and
that II takes from eight TO ten years
to raise a plant from the seed, with
patient care and treatment they could
see why these flowers remain tn the
ar1stocratic class.
Only the orchid grower can under
stand all the details Of his art, but the
flower lover can easily learn to dis
tinguish the various types-Philadel-
