The Agricultural Soc,ety.

To-day was SET by the committee ap-
pointed at the last meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Agricultural Society.
as the day for all Interested in the success
of The society. Mho could 60 so. 10 meet
ut the Horse Association grounds for a
general ''bee'' To clean up and prepare a
space for the holding OF the first county
fair. We regret that more EXTENDED
notice was not given. We fear that many
who have an interest in the society and
who would have been present to aid. did
not hear of the meeting. 1t is getting
time that some action was being taken in
regard TO the first iair. In order to make
it a success and to enable the Board to
act advisab!y it would be we'll for all the
citizens of the county who intend to be-
come members of the society and con-
tribute to its success to hand their names
to the Secretary and pay the fee of ore
dollar required to constitute membership,
The Secretary can be found at the Office
of Geo. p. Humphrey. on the dock. and
will be pleased to add rs many names as
possible to the list of members Of the So
ciety. A great many citizens of the vii
lage have signifed their willingness to
become members and lend their influence
to make the society success but as yet
very few have paid their dollar. A well
conducted agricultural society can do
more to advance the interests of the coun-
tv than almost any other influence and
there is no reason why ChebOygan coun-
ty should not have fiourishing society
il our citizens would take hold of the
matter and work with will and deter.
minatIOn to make IL n success.

This well-knOwa propeller, of the Chi

fire last Sunday night and burned TO the
waters edge. A Telegram from Port
Huron to the Detroit Evening News.
dated last Monday. says: 1.-The fire
broke out ut about ii o'clock. and burned
with such rapidity that the crew barely
escaped with their lives, and it was i'm
possible to save her. Thc ferry Iuterna-
tional towed her away from the dock and
let her 90, and she tloated down stream

Crusader succeeded in getting hold oi
her and running her ashore three miles
below the city on the Canadian side.

jumping water into her. 1t is hODed

The Monument to Marquette.

The TRIBUNE has i'm former issues not
iced the movement looking to the cree
ton of monument to the memory of
Father Marquette, the celebrated explor-
or. who did So mitch for this section A
letter from James III. Dormer, of Buffalo,
to Thomas Bentley, Esq, of this village,
states that it is proposed to hold q pre-
liminary meeting ut Mackinaw during
the present month for the purpose of
effecting temporary organization and
arranging for series of excursions from
the different sections of the country and
for grand mass meeting to be held
some time during the season of summer
visiting at which permanent ore aniza-
tion can be perfected. We are glad to
see that steps are being taken looking to
the building of this monument. 1t is
something in which not only the people
of this state are interested but those of
the whole country, for Msrquette's repu-
tation is national one. There should
be no trouble i'm raising the necessary
funds to erect a monument to the man
who asan explorer and missionary made
a reputation excelled BY none. A small
contribution from all who should be in
terested in having a suitable monument
erected to the memory of this remarkable
man would accomplish the work. We
hope that tine proposed meeting. to be
held this month, will be largely attended
and arrangements made to push the pro-
iect forward to success. 1t is stated tha
one thousand dollars have already been
pledged i'm the state of New York. As
it is proposed to erect the monument at
Mackinac it is something in which the
peop'e OF this section are especially inter
estnd and we feel confident that when a
movement is male they will be found
ready to do their part toward its con-
