a rate as ever before in the history Of

every part of the town.
The material put upon Main street by
the Street Commissioner did not improve
that thoroughfare to any great extent
1t is worse off than before. ~,
The fort band at Mackinac came over
on the Mary, Thursday, and spent the
day in the village. They delighted OuI
citizens with some choice music.
Our merchants are getting in their
fall supplies, and from the amount be-
ing received we should think they antici-
pated doing an immense business.

Bagley has been secured to supply his
place.

been here looking up land and all seem
pleased with the prospects, and many of
them have gone after their families and
will return this fall, others will come in
the spring. ~
The docks are doing an extensive trade
in wood. The most of the Canada pro-
pellers call in for wood going both ways.
There is not great amount of money in
the trade, however, the expense of hand
ling being much greater than at shore
points with which they have to compete.

in"
Last Tuesday our citizens were sur
prised to learn that John L. Jewell, the
we'll known baker had suddenly taken |
his departure from our village leaving
his creditors to mourn his loss. This
action was a great surprise to all, he had

those he did business with, and was
thought to have been doing a good bust
ness.
