David Van Auken of Hartford was
| driving to Kalamazoo one day last
week, and met string of Buick cars
enroute from Flint to Chicago. Ono
careless driver attempted to pass the
string just as Mr.. Van Auken had
turned out to let them pass. The
result was a collision and smashup
in which both cars were badly wreck
ed. Fortunately no one was injured.
Carlessness and fast driving of the
Buick driver were clearly responsible
for the accident, and some one will
have to stand the damage. The
accident happened on the Almena
road near the Bilsborrow home.
Mrs. Rachel Yeider, mother of our
townsman Perry Yeider, passed away
at her home in Bangor last week
Tuesday at the advanced age of
eighty-two years. The funeral was
held from the home and conducted by
Rev. Charles Kelsey of Bangor, and
the remains laid to rest in Hoppins
cemetery. She leaves to mourn her
death four sons and one daughter.
William Yeider of Bangor; John
Yeider of Bangor; Charles Yeider of
Athena and Perry Yeider of Paw
Paw. She also leaves five brothers
and four sisters, eight grand children
and eight great grand children, be-
sides many loving friends.
The Indians of South Paw Paw
planned for a big dance one night
last week at the home Of one of their
number, Charles Jackson. Jackson
made trip to South Bend and came
back with the requisite amount of
"Fire Water" for the festive occas-
ion. The result was a glorious drunk.
Sheriff Beattie went out and brought
in some of the noisy ones, and the
next day Under Sheriff Lang went
out and brought in Jackson and Steve
Peepeau. Jackson plead guilty to
"Boot- Logging" and was given thirty
days in the county Jail, and Peepeau
received ten days for being intoxi-
Gated. 1t is said to have been one
great round of pleasure while the
booze lasted.
Following are the hours to be OBJ
served at the Post office on Thanks
giving day. All windows will be
open for business as usual in the
morning and remain open until $3.50
A. NJ, when they will close for the
day. The City Carriers will make
one delivery and one collection of
mail in the morning. Rural carriers
will not make the routes, but will be
in the office until 9:30 to serve pat
rons who come to the Office. The
office now has "Rural Carrier
Window" and "City Carrier Window"
Patrons who enquire for mail of
either City or Rural carrier at any
time, should go to the proper window.
Mails will be dispatched from the
office on Thanksgiving day as usual.
The Y. Nj. C. A. Drive in Van
Buren, county was a great success.
Six thousand five hundred dollars
was the maximum asked of the coun-
ty, but we "Went over the top" for
something like $4,000. The Paw Paw
subscriptions totalled nearly $1,000.
The folks back home are doing their
"Bit" willingly and generously. To
be true, we have only just started,
but it is the spirit of America to
stick to the end. With such a spirit
dominating a nation, there can be no
defeat. The officers and committees
of the Y. M. c. A. campaign are en-
titled to liberal praise for the manner
in which they organized for the work,
and the ultimate results exceed even
the most sanguine expectations.
