A very pretty home wedding took
place at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gust E. Johnson last Wednesday eve-
ming, when their daughter, Mildred
Johanna, became the happy bride of
Gregory Delhaye of Wilmette, Illinois
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
E. E. Shouffler, pastor of the Baptist
church in Paw Paw. June flowers
decorated the home, and Mendelsohn's
wedding march was played on the
Victrola and the double ring service
was used. The brides gown was of
satin, draped with Georgette Crepe
and she carried a bouquet of brides
roses. After the ceremony dainty
refreshments were served. Mr. and
Mrs. Delhaye will make their home in
Wilmette, Illinois. The bride recent
ly graduated as nurse from a Chi
cago hospital.
Last Friday was a great day for
the schools of Van Buren, county, and
probably saw the largest crowd that
ever assembled in the village of Law
renee. Paw Paw stood third in the
track events and lost the ball game
to Bangor, but the boys worked hard,
are good losers as we'll as winners,
and gracefully took their hats off to
the victors The track and field
events were close battle between
Gobleville and Bangor, the latter
winning on points; but Charles who
won the shot put for Bangor was
ruled ineligible on account of having
competed in county events for five
years, which gave the three points
made on the event to Gobleville and
gave them the meet. 1t might be
said in passing that the same Charles
played center field for Bangor in the
championship ball game, and made
several spectacular catches, which
the regular felders would undoubted-
ly have missed. He played with the
consent of Paw Paw, but should not
have been in the game if ineligible
under the rules. The individual star
of the day was Walker of Gobleville
who won 21 of the 81 points credited
to that school. He is a star and will
be heard from in college circles later.
The point winners for Paw Paw were
Lyle who took second in the so yard
dash, 100 yard dash, 440 yard run,
220 yard dash; Mentor, second in the
High Jump, and Fish tied with two
others for third place in the Pole
Vault. Paw Paw lost the Relay race
to Gobleville, Walker nosing out Lyle
on the last lap. The events of the
day really centered in the base ball
game, which was practically spoiled
by the heavy shower. The diamond
was a veritable lake, and Supt. Kav,
went to work with a shovel, brooms,
two bales of straw and thirty gallons
of gasoline, and while the diamond
was soft the game was played. That
the game was played at all was due
almost entirely to the efforts of Mr..
Kaye. Bangor to a man was in favor
of a postponement which would have
been big disappointment to the i'm
mense crowd who came to see the
game. The game was a pitchers
battle and the final score 2 to in
favor Of Bangor. Dow for Paw Paw
had seven strikeouts, and allowed but
three hits. Three errors however
lost the game. Bangor likewise made
three errors, but they did not count
in the final result. Paw Paw made
four hits. Dow pitched the best
game of his career, and deserved to
win. The slab work of Dibble was
also remarkable by reason of the
fact that he had participated in near
ly every event of the day, and just
before the game was called went out
and took first in the pole vault. He
seemed to have wonderful endurance
