Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1878-01-12
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
TOWN TALK.


E. Nelson, Esq, arrived home Wednes-
day evening.
The weather is still too balmy to suit
the lumbermen.
Porter M. Lathrop, Esq, was quite
sick several days this week.
The prospects now seem good for an
early opening OF navigation.
Limbermen are still complaining. The
snow reached only eight or ten miles
into the woods.
The papers are talking about the rail-
roads being blocked with snow in the
states south of Michigan.
The great financial question of the day
seems to be with a great number of per-
sons, how to get along without work. /
The TRIBUNE building must be the
headquarters for the arts kand scieEc s.
school upstairs and newspaper dowi {.
The firemen cleared SS4 40 by their
New. Years ball. They took in 1926 SO
but it cost them 1852 IS to get. the affair
up, but they did it well.
The tramp nuisance struck Cheboygan
last week. Two or three of them have
been roaming about town, much to the
annoyance OF those they called npon..
Next week the young ladies and gen.
tlemen oc the schools will settle down to
business i'm earnest again. The dramatic
entertainment is over.
Reports from the Sault show the snow
TO be two feet deep and the thermometer
fifteen or twenty degrees below zero.
The 'Sooites'' complain of ETHEREAL mild
ness no more.
David Smiths mother met With Sc
we're and dangerous accident few days
since by slipping upon the sidewalk.
She broke her thigh bone, aud was Sc
yerely injured otherwise. Her condition
is extremely critical.
Mr.. B. A. Tharp, prominent citizen
of Brownsville, Cass county. was in the
village few days during the week. He
goes home much gratified with his VISIT
and fully convinced that ChebOyGan is
the place OF future greatness.
The "swamp" lands to which the Mar
quette & Mackinaw railroad will be ell
titled on the completion of that load
embrace 1926, 995 acres. Of this amount
43l.Ss9 acres are in Chippewa county,
277.666 i'm Mackinaw, 240.2l7 in Mar
quette and 1896 i'm Schoolcraft
One would think from the way the
stages 80 out that every morning the
drivers Tipped a copper to see which
they should take, wagon or sleigh.
We expect before they get to Petoskey
that they make up their minds that the
copper came down wrong side up.
A gentleman of this village-we spare
his feelings and suppress bis name-look
some ladies out sleigh riding one day
this week. The sleighing was not good,
but that was not the reason that they
had to walk part of the way home. A
broken sleigh was what made the Young
man unhappy.
We now understand that the belfry for
the Congregational church is an assured
fact. and that work will soon commence
upon it. We understand that this ar.
Engagement has been effected through the
efforts of those outside OF the church
management. We believe the plan
adopted provides for the top of the bel
Try to be forty. feet above the summit of
The root. 1t will add much to the ap-
pearance of the church.
Cbeboygan can now boast of one OF
the best arranged planning mill in the
state. The mill of Smith Bros, of
which we made a somewhat extended
notice some weeks ago. is one CT
the best in the state. No expense has
been spared in obtaining the most i'm
proved machinery. and in putting it up
i'm such manner as would make the ex-
pense of running it light. All in want
OF anything i'm this line will do well to
give this est; blishment call.
