The springlike weather of the past
week has melted all the snow and
softened the ice in the lakes. Should
this weather continue, there will be
no need for any one to journey to
California or to the South Land to
escape the rigors of the Michigan
weather. 1t is probable however that
there will be change in time to kill
the fruit and make enough ice for the
summer.

The first number of the Paw Paw
Lecture course last week Thursday
evening was highly pleasing and sat-
isfactory to the large audience. There
probably have been higher class art
lists before a Paw Paw audience than
the members of The Chicago Festival
Quintet, but certainly none more pleas
ing. The diversified program, attract
live costumes, and many picturesque
| features combined to make the enter
/ tainment one of real merit and enjoy
ment. If every number on the course
gives as good satisfaction as the Fes-
tival Quintet, the winters course will
! be a huge success. The program
opened with two selections by the
/ High School band, and the finished
manner in which the selections were
rendered was a revelation to the
audience. The band, under the
efficient direction of Prof. Castle is
fast developing into a high class
finished musical organization, Of
which the citizens of this community
are justly proud.
