PAY Up.-As spring is now OPEN
ing, and we, like other people, have
bills to settle, which cannot be done
unless we get what is our due, we
call on each and every one indebted
to us to pay up at once. We can
not do business on the credit sym
tenn forever without o settlement,
and as the printers mighty dol
lars" are in hundreds of mems pock-
cts, scattered over a broad territory,
there is no such thing as attempt
ing to collect them in any other
way than to have our debtors come
and settle. How can you reasona-
bly, expect your local papers to inn
prove if you never think of paying
your little printers bills? We have
several hundred dollars standing
around i'm diiblets of two dollars
here and four dollars in another
place, which, if all brought together
would enable us to make the paper
better and larger, and it would also
make every one of our subscribers
feel that he had a clearer conscience,
having settled with the printer.
Business is business, and we wish
TO do business ia a business-like
manner. Then pay up.

The Stage Line.


During the winter Alpena people
are called upon to suffer some Sc
rious drawbacks from having no
means of outside communication
except over land by stage. Yet
this winter we think we have been
more fortunate than ever before.
Heretofore it has been customary
in winter to receive our mail by
stage, late in the evening, and it
was not so as to be delivered to the
public often before the next morn
ing. But this winter the new stage
line has managed to give us daily
mail every afternoon before b
o'clock, and usually before 4 o'clock.
There have been but very few
times during the whole season when
we have had to go without the
daily mail.
Also, the travelling public have
been Better accommodated, there
being always q disposition and a
way to furnish all desiring passage
on the stage a chance. They have
been generally prompt in deliver
ing passengers in two days in
Standish, time enough to get the
evening train down TO Bay City. In
fact, the line under this new man.

on the old one. as far as our people

ABOUT TO DEpART.-Mr Alvah Mitch
ell, foreman of the mason department
on construction of the V. & T. II. Il.
round house at Carson, has finished up
everything under Col. Curry's contract
to build that stone structure. Mr..
Mitchell, after the completion of the L.
S. Mint at Carson, of which building he
was foreman Of construction under Col
Abe Curry, Superintendent, went to San
Diego, Cal, to find rest; in fact to make
that place his future home, but the
sturdy old mechanic was not allowed to
linger under his own vine and fig tree.
He was called again to Carson by Col.
Curry, to take charge of all stone build
ing contracts made by the Colonel this
season. Among the number, outside of
the round house, was the Rosser block
near the Mint. He was the exterior ar
chitect of that building, and has built
under Curry one of the finest buildings
in Carson. As a work of design and
practical masonry it cannot be surpassed
in this State. Mr.. Mitchell having COM
pleted all contracts made, and having
made his landmarks in Carson, will soon
return to the sand hills of his home to
remain until called again to the sage
brush to help out our many good me-
chanies. We wish him good luck wher-
ever he goes.
