Hon. William Macarthur is building
quite an addition to his residence.
This being May Day it is being appro-
prlately celebrated by happy party of
young folks in the grove back of Young
street.
The Valley Queen started this morning
expecting to make the run through to
the head of Crooked lake and return to-
morrow.
The Valley Queen is loaded with
freight every day, and our merchants
are beginning to feel the benefit of the
inland lake trade.
Mr.. DavidsOn's photograph gallery
next door to the TRIBUNE office is nicely
and costly refitted, and he is doing very
nice work. Those wishing pictures
taken, of any kind, should call and see
him.
Some Of the sidewalks of the village
are sadly in need of repairs, and should
be looked after before some one is in
jured and brings in claim against the
village for damages from defective side
| walks.
A large flock of wild geese passed over
the village last evening, flying south
west. They evidently got disguised
with the cold weather we have been hav-
ing. and were migrating to warmer
| cline.
The Congregational church has eX-
tended an invitation to Rev. Chas. Marsh
OF Chicago. To occupy the pulpit Of that
church for short time. 1t is expected
that no will preach his first sermon the
9th Of May.
The night-watchmen. last night, gath
cred i'm a couple of male bipeds who
were preambulating the streets i'm fe-
male attire. and heavily armed with a
potato masher. Their trial takes place
this afternoon.
No definite arrangements have as yet
been made for carrying the mail on the
route from PetOskey to ChebOygan. The
Postmaster at PetOskev has arranged
for its transmission until some perma-
nent arrangement is perfected.
The balance of cash i'm the State
Treasury April II was 81 ,36l, O56.43. Re-
ceipts for the week ending April "a were
$45, 493.11; payments for same time $10.-
651.07; leaving a balance April "a, 1880
of 81 ,395.89S.47; increase for the week
$34,S42.O4.
Postmaster Ford had to pay the man
who brought the mail through from
PetOskey last Saturday a good price, and
pay his hotel bills while here, i'm order to
get him to wait over until Monday morn

going back Sunday.
We understand they expected to have
the work on the track of the Bay View
& Crooked Lake railroad completed to-
day and that next Monday the boats will
commence running regularly upon the
inland route, this will be good news to
those travelling between PetOskey and
this village.
Mrs. M. B. Champions advertisement,
in another column, announces to the
public that she will soon show them an
unexcelled stock of goods in her. line.
She went after her goods with the deter
minatiOn that she would maintain her
position at the head of the millinery
business, and we think her experience
will enable her to do it.
We understand that q gentleman has
offered the Smith Bros as fine set of
cOlOrs as can he purchased for the privi-
lege of naming their new boat. If our
citizens wish her to be named after our
thriving village it be well for them to
look after the color" business. We
should dislike to see the craft christened
by any other name than the 'City of
ChebOygan."
1t is thought that the inland boats will
have no trouble i'm Indian river this sea-
son. There are no logs in the river at
present and it is claimed there will be
no trouble when they commence run
ming them, as the Sturgeon River cutoff
has been such success, that the sand
bar i'm the river will not present much
obstruction to the running of logs. 1t
is hoped that the river will soon clean
itself to as sufficient depth to allow the
passage of any of our boats.
