the "Woodchuck King" of Paw Paw.
He brought to the township clerk
this week, 81 woodchuck scalps, one
hawk and four crows, and was paid

Don't forget to turn the clock back
one hour before retiring next Satur
day night. Should this be neglected
or forgotten, you will reach church
OIL Sunday morning, just one hour
too early and run the chance of con-
tracing severe cold while waiting
for the doors to open.
There will be an opportunity on
Saturday of this week for residents
of the country surrounding Paw Paw
to "Kill two birds with one Stone"
Attend the Scovel sale 1-2 mile west
of the village on the George Tyler
farm, and then take advantage of the
bargains offered by Paw Paw mer-
chants in the Saturday shopping.
"Grand Pa" Charles Searls is
gradually failing. 1t is his ambition
to live four months more, when he
will have reached the four score and
ten milestone. He has been Of a
wonderfully strong and vigorous con
stitution and has scarcely, if ever,
known a. sick day. He is not sick now
but the wonderful mechanism of the
human body is battered and worn
and has nearly reached the end of
its usefulness. His host of friends
are hoping that he may be permitted
to pass the Goth milestone ere the
long journey is finished.
Probably the largest crowd that
ever assembled in Paw Paw for an
evenings entertainment, came on
Monday night to see that great
picture, "The Eyes of the World" at
the Idle Hour theatre. Every seat
in the theatre was taken long before
the opening time, with people crowd

doors were finally closed. Even at
that, hundreds of people were unable
to gain admission. Owing to the
fact that so many people were unable
to get inside the building, Manager
Reeves has booked the film again for
an early date in November, and that
time will give matinee, which
should relieve the congestion in the
evening. 1t is a wonderful picture,
and will undoubtedly draw nearly as
large crowd on the November date.

the Welch homestead forty-two years
Theirs has been a typical country
home for all these years. From this
home has radiated high influences to
bless the community in which they
lived and moved. They were men,
bers of the Presbyterian church and
for many years were connected with
the Grange. Their congenial lives
made these members of social
functions much beloved. Their home
was the center of hospitable courte-
sizes and their friends were always
welcome, while the stranger who
knocked at their door was always
treated with kindly consideration.
Generous to fault they were always
quick to respond to the call for
sympathy or help if an acquaintance
suffered bereavement or met with
disaster. Mrs. Welch will long be
