Lewis Soule has been discharged
from military service and many
months in France. He was in the
heavy fighting and has an interesting
story to tell.
The First National Bank is in
stalling a new up-to-date Burglar
Alarm system. The alarm is of
sufficient size and power to alarm
the entire village, and it is probable
that public demonstration will be
given, that the public may know just
how the "Bird" sounds.
Rev. Arthur Trott is in Lansing
attending the annual M. E. confer
ence, and there will be no services at
the Methodist church next Sunday.
He went to Colon to officiate at a
funeral last Monday, and from that
place to Lansing. Mrs. Trott accom-
panied him on the trip.
Miss Helen Harrison became the
happy bride of Mr. Lester j. Bagnall
of Detroit last Saturday afternoon
at 400 o'clock. The ceremony was
performed in the First Presbyterian
church in the city of Detroit. Mr..
Bagnall has business connections
with the U. S. Radiator Corporation,
and has just recently been transfer
red to Philadelphia, which will be
their future home. Helen is a Paw
Paw girl. She was born in Allegan,
but practically her entire life time
has been spent here. About a year
ago, she accepted a position in De-
troit, where she met the young man
who was to lead her to the altar.
She was home for a few days last
week, and while here whispered the
glad tidings to local friends. The

Many large strings of fine bass
have been caught in the nearby lakes
during the last week. River clubs
have been the favorite bait, although
some fine catches have been report
ed on the Moonlight" artificial bait
in the night time. Way Morlan and
Clarence Brown took eighteen from
Eagle Lake Tuesday night via "The
Moonlight" and F. n. Wakeman used
Clubs at Christie's Lake the same
afternoon, and came home with as
many as one string will legally hold
of real beauties. Fred Giddings of
Lawton enticed seven FOUNDER
from Cedar Lake with frog one day
last week. After keeping the mon
ster for a week as an exhibit, good
sportsman that he is, he returned
him to the waters of the lake last
Sunday, after placing a mark on his
tail for Identification, should the fish
ever be caught again.
A bronze marker was placed on the
grave of the late William Dyckman,
soldier of the Revolutionary war last

Mrs. w. r. Sellick passed away at
Bronson hospital in Kalamazoo last
Tuesday night at 1000 o'clock. She
had been in failing health for several
years, but the illness was not con-
sidered of a serious nature until
quite recently. She was taken to
the hospital for treatment on Satur-
day, August oath, and underwent an
operation the following Tuesday.
The operation was entirely successful
but her weakened condition could not
stand the shock, and she never fully
recovered consciousness after that
time. The most heroic measures
known to medical science, even to
the TRANSMISSION of blood from the
veins of the daughter, Mrs. Bennett
McKinstry, were used to save her
life, but it was of no avail. Mrs.
Sellick was universally loved and
esteemed in the community. She was
gifted with rare musical talents,
and was always ready and willing to
use those talents where she could
be of service to others. She has
been in close touch with the social
activities of Paw Paw during all the
wears of hpr residence here and will
