Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1878-08-24

Mr.. James O'Connors, dealer in sow
ing machines, picture frames, &C., will
have something to say to our readers
next week in reference to his stock of
goods.
Thlfe Is no better climate for those suf-
sering from hay fever than can be found
here at Cheboygan. Experience, by
those afflicted with the troublesome dis
ease, has demonstrated that immediate
relief is afforded here, and if they come
before suffering an attack it is escaped
altogether. 81 1ss q
The sad news of the death OF Mrs. G..
A. Brace, wife of our former popular
postmaster and daughter of M. w.
Horne, of this village, was brought by
telegram last Thursday, she having died
the night before. Mrs. Brace was raised
in Cheboygall and has many frieads who
will deeply regie. her. death. The be-
reaved husband and Mr.. Horne and
family have the sympathy of the entire
community in their affliction,
The party which visited the burnt lands
OF the Pine and Murmuscong river valley,
returned to this place Thursday evening.
All express themselves highly pleased
with the lands and say that they exceed
their highest expectations, We UNDER
staEd arrangements were made for the
sale of several hundred acres of the land.
The trip is pror ounced as having been a
very enjoyable one, everything passing
off in the most agreeable manner.
3 As can be seen from the 'sSault Scraps
in this issue of the TRIBUNE the Chippe-
wa County Agricultural Society have Sc
cured special premiums amounting to
$50. As yet the only special premiums
rendered the Cheboygan County Society
are those offered OH wheat by WIN.
Chandler, publisher of the TRIBUNE.
| Can not others of our liberal minded
citizens aid this valuable enterprise by
offering special premiums. Our citizens
should not be behind those of Chippewa
county in liberalityin anything that tends
TO the advancement of the interest of the
county.
1 Monday evening parties arriving on
the yacht Mary reported exciting times
at Point st. Ignace. The report as
given was that man named Frank Nc
Mullen lad been attacked and his head
| split open with an TX, that the priest
had been sent for and it was thought
that by the time the boat arrived here,
the man was dead. Tuesday evening OF
the arrival of the Mary the report about
his being dead was confirmed, but it wa:
only dead drunk. The woman is known
lby the sobriquet of tennessee" and she
| did strike the man with an AK infliclir9
a severe scalp wound. Tuesday she stat
ed that McMulleli should have said that
she would die at p. NJ. of that day, tina,
she had been unable ~ find any person
to protect her, unless she did she would
rely upon her ak i'm which for protec
| tor she seemed to have full confidence.
If there is any person who has any
doubt about this section of the state be-
ing adapted to the raising of fruit, we
] think visit to Mr.. Joseph Refs place
on Mullet lake, would remove it. Mr.
Ref has quite large variety of apple
tees planted. and, although quite young
they are we'll filled with the best quality
of fruit, and some of them were so full
that they were obliged to remove some
of the fruit to keep it from breaking the
limbs. The Red Astrachan variety are
superb. and parties from the southern
portion the state were greatly surprised
| TO see such fruit growing in this section
There is no reason why Cheboygan coun'
ty should not raise her own supply oil
apples, i'm the course of few years, il
proper attention is given to their culture
A specimen of the fruit can be seen at the
TRIBUNE office. We would not be sur
prised if our citizens would be somewhat
astonished at ibe exhibit of fruit ut tn,
approaching county fair.
