Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1879-09-13

The Marine City and st. Paul and the
Northern Transit line of steamers will
carry passengers to and from the state
fair for So 90 the round trip, meals and
berths included.
The Northern Transit steamer Osweg
gatchie will be in this evening, bound
down. This will be an excellent OppOr-
tunity for getting to the state fair.
Round trip tickets only $500.
Thursday night a tow of logs for
Thompson Smith carried away all but
one of the buoys at the entrance of the
harbor. 1t seems to us with a little
care on the part of those in charge this
might be avoided.
The captain of the w. s. Carkin, which
was in port this week, stated that Messrs.
Carkin, Stickney & Cram had been
awarded the contract for the dredging
this harbOr to the amount of the apprO-
priation, $4,000, and would commence
the work in few weeks.
Miss Libbie Walton will open a select
school, at the residence of her father,
Jacob Walton, on Bailey street, on Mon
day, Sept. 10Th. Applications for ad-
mission of scholars may be made next
week at the TRIBUNE Office, and after
that at the home of Miss Walton.
An opportunity to assist worthy OBJ
ject is offered to our people. Mrs. Jarmy,
who it will be remembered lost her hus-
band south last winter, wishes to rattle
fine cow that she has, and so pay off a
mortgage that is on her home. The raf-
fie will come off at C. A. Gallagher's Sat-
urday. Sept. 9th, at 8. P. M.
The Eureka base ball club expect the
Neptunes of Alpena up on the st. Joe
next Monday to play the third and decid-
ing game of base ball. The boys have
not been devOtlng any time to practice.
but should the Neptunes come. will en-
deavOr to make the game as interesting
as possible for them.
The Democracy at the New York state
convention, which was called at SYRIA
cuse last Wednesday, were having a
high old time among themselves. They
quarreled all day Wednesday, and ac-
cOmplished nothing, and the fight was
to have continued Thursday. 1t was
thought there would be split between
the Tammannyites and the Anti-tam-
manys and that two conventions would
be held. 1t was thought that Gov. Rob-
insOn and all the present state officers,
with the exception of Lieutenant-gover-
nor Dorsheimer, would be renOminated by
Anti-tammany convention.
CecbOygan COunty's Exhibit at the
State Fair.
For several days past the Sanctum of
the TRIBUNE has resembled somewhat a
fruit. vegetable and grain store. Pump
kins, beets, potatoes, citrOn, cabbage, corn
in the ear, bags of grain, specimens of
tobacco, sweet potatoes ETC., have been
on the floor, on the table, on the chairs,
in fact wherever it was most convenient
to leave them, there they have been left.
Yesterday the committee was busy label
ing and packing and getting them in
shape to take the fair. There are large
number of very fine specimens which We
think will cOnclusively show to visitors
at the fair that something will grow in
this northern country as well as in
more southern localities. We were
in hopes to have been able
to have given complete list of the ar
ticles contributed and the names of the
contributors in this issue, but are una
BILE to do so. We shall give it next week.
Messrs. Jacob Walton and NJ, W. Horne,
of the committee, are entitled to great
credit for the work they have done. They
have devoted time and great amount
of hard work in order to accomplish
what they have done. They have per-
sonally visited different portions of the
county and solicited contributions, and
we think for new county the display
they have succeeded in securing will be
a credit to us.
