The Joseph Deal heading mill will
open again for business next season.
Mr.. Deals representative was here on
Monday to employ laborers to go into
the woods and cut the heading. He
owns a large amount of timber lands
up the river. This will be cut and
foated down the river ready for the
mill next spring and summer. 1t is
planned to cut enough to run at full

at one time one Of the substantial
business concerns of Paw Paw and it
is refreshing to know that it will

have been sold to a company in Toledo
Ohio, but we understand that Joseph
Deal Sr. who owns the property and
that he will personally superintend
the operation Of the mill next season.

a discussion. He has made a special

COTER|E SELLING
RED CROSS SEALS
To Assist in the Great Fight
against White Plague.
Buy Literally.
WAGE NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN
Every Hamlet Contributes
Its Share to Check
the Disease.

The Annual Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale has been started in Paw Paw
The Coterie takes charge of this sale
this year, and its members confident
ly expect to realize a handsome sum
to help swell the fund to continue the
national fight against tuberculosis.
This is a nation wide movement, and
rapid strides have already been made
toward the elimination of this terrible
disease. Last year the national So
ciety realized $800,000 from the sale
of Christmas seals, and this year it's
members hope to exceed that sum.
Paw Paw has already done its share
towards the humanitarian project, and
will no doubt do more this year than
ever before.
When some member of the Coterie
calls on you, buy just as literally as
you feel you can, for every cent that
is realized from the sale of these seals
is turned over to the anti-tuberculosis
fund, and you know that it is money
given in a good cause.
1t is not an act of charity alone, for
the seals are pretty and attractive,
and can be used to good advantage in
the wrapping of your Christmas par
cells.
There is no revenue in this for the
Coterie. 1t is simply an act of kind
ness to assist in this great movement.
Do your part by contributing liberal
amount in the purchase of seals.

ANOTHER PAW PAW
MAN MAKES RECORD
O. II. p. Sheldon, has Uoted
in Eighteen Successive
Presidential Elections

The Free Press and Courier carried
the story some weeks ago, of our
venerable townsman, |. w. Van Fos-
sen who has voted in seventeen sue
cessive Presidential elections. With
out wishing to detract one iota from
the glory of our good friend Mr.. Van
Fossen, The True Northerner presents
another voter of Paw Paw, who goes
him one better. o. H. 2. Sheldon has
voted in eighteen successive president
ial elections, and from the present in
dications will be voting in several in
the years to come. Mr.. Sheldon's
first presidential vote was for John G.
Fremont in 1848, and he has never
failed to cast vote in every succeed
ing presidential election. Unlike Mr..
Van Fossen, however, our hero did
not stick to the Faith" He groped
in the dark and voted the democratic
ticket until the great civil war, when
he saw the Light" and since that
time has followed the straight and
narrow path, casting his vote each
time for the republican nominee.
This fact will be a great comfort to
him in later years when he reaches
the autumn of life.
Mr.. Sheldon is really a remarkable
man. He will be ninety-two years of
age next Monday, and is as spry to-
day as many of the boys barely out
of their teens. He is clear of eye,
reads readily without glasses, is brisk
of step and carries himself as straight
as an arrow. He is well versed on the
current events of the day, and it is
really a pleasure to converse with him
on almost any subject. His locks are
getting a little white, but he is still
Zone of the Boys" and the writer con-
fidently expects him to assist in elect
ing republican president in 1920.
Here's to the Grand Old Man who will
reach the ninety-second milestone of
life's journey next Monday December
eleventh. May he reach the century
mark and then some.
