Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-01-17

Divine service at the Town Hall to-
morrow, morning and evening as usual,
The tug Minter got over from Point st.
Ignace to Mackinaw City about noon to-
day.
Thomas Crissup, ST., who for many
years has been on the Marine City as
barber, has been elected janitor of the
City Hall at Detroit, by the City Coun-
Gil.
Another masquerade is talked of, We
wont give the the date but it will be i'm
order for all those who want to 90 and
astOnish the natives to begin their dis
guises.
Capt. Charles Kitchen, Thursday, made
the best long range shooting that has
yet been made on the Huron street range.
At 600 yards, off hand, he made 10 out of
possible 25, the score being as follows:
2-4-4-4-5.
1t is reported that H. Fl. Pike, for many
years the popular landlord of the Pike
House of Niles, is to build summer ho-
tel on one of the inland lakes between
Cheboygan and Petoskey. If Mr.. Pike
has not decided as to the exact location,
we should recommend Indian Point in
Burt lake as the most desirable place.
The rumor that the Ladies of the Epis-
copal church were to give "shoe pac''
social has excited considerable curiosity
among our citizens as to the nature of
such a social. We would advise every
body to attend at the Douglass House
parlOrs next Tuesday evening and see
for themselves. We predict the occasion
will prove an enjoyable one.
For the benefit of those who may think
there has been but little improvement
made in this county during last year
we would state that about 100000 of
the shingles manufactured at ChebOygan
were sold and used in this county. This
would indicate that there has been some
thing done in the way of building. Of
this amount Smith Brothers supplied
about 100000 and G. P. Langdon the
remaining 100000 previous to the burn
of his single mill. Nearly all of the
shingles manufactured by Smith Broth
ers were used here, while Mr.. LangdOn
shipped the larger part of what he made.
Chief Engineer McKeOwn, of the
Detroit, Mackinac & Marquette railroad,
with corps of engineers arrived in
town last Saturday evening on their way
to Point st. Ignace to commence sur
yey of the line from this end of the route.
They remained in the village over Sun
day and left Monday for Mackinac City
where they have been camping out all
week waiting for an opportunity to get
across the straits. The tug Minter fired
up and undertook to come over after
them yesterday but could not get through
the ice. A party of land-lOOkers in the
employ of the company left here Tues-
day, and are also waiting at Mackinac
City for chance to get across. Mr..
McKeOwn left his party Wednesday and
returned, and has gone ont for the Eur-
pos, of going to Marquette.
"We are in receipt of souvenir of
Detroit, from John ]. Blgley & Co.. in
the shape Of a handsome little pocket al
bum containing y photographs of the
principal buildings and places in Detroit
There is nothing said i'm the volume
about the Q. S. SenatOrship, or BagIey's
MayfOwer. and there is nothing to indi-
cate to the receiver who it is from or
what its import is until he reaches the
last page in the afternoon, when the
handwriting of John appears on the wall
with his compliments. Such delicacy
and extreme mOdesty in advertising is
more novel and startling, in this age of
progress, than the most flaming posters
ever printed" This was penned by the
handsome editor of the Chippewa County
News, and, as the TRIBUNE was similarly
favored by the Ex-Governor, We express
our thanks and show our Incidence by
remarking that, "that friend speaks our
mind"
