The summer opening of dress goods
and millinery of Mrs. Tumim took
place on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week. The display of dress and
dry goods at the one store was truly
magnificent, showing dress goods of
latest styles and patterns, that would
do credit to the larger houses of De.
troit, while the collection of the vari-
Gus other articles in the line of dry
goods, spoke volumes in favor Of the
Judgment of Mrs. Tumim as regards
her ability to select goods that are most
likely to please her many patrons. In
the millinery store the display was a
decidedly beautiful one, and one that the
pen is inadequate to faithfully portray,
Suffice it to say that in this department
all the latest designs of hats, bonnets,
ETC., with trimmings to suit one and all,
we're arranged in tasty manner, and
attracted the admiring gaze of all who
viewed them. Taking the displays
made in the two stores, together, they
we're as fine as any that might be made
in the establishments of much larger
cities, and they deserve the praise of all.

mother and step-father to Alpena, and
in 1861 became the wife of our much
esteemed citizen, Frank III. Dyer. In
1864 Mr.. Dyer erected a residence on
the shore Of the bay, then in an almost
unbroken wilderness, and where the
happy and devoted couple have had
their home ever since, and where four
children have been born to them, two
Of whom are now living, a daughter
grown to womanhood, and three-years
old son. For many years past Mrs
Dyer has been a sufferer, and at times
afflicted with such pain as to almost
deprive her Of her reason; and it was
during one of these attacks that, scarce
ly realizing her own actions, she sought
the use Of the pistol, the wound from
which only two days after resulted in
death. AS she gradually grew weaker,
after the fatal shot, she fully realized
that she must die, and calling her little
family about her, she gave them her
last counsel, bid them all last fare
well, and then calmly proceeded on her
journey from whence no traveller re-
turneth.
Mrs. Dyer has left many near and
dear friends in this community to
mourn her departure as only true
friends can, and the whole city sincere
ly sympathizes with the bereaved hus-
band and motherless children.

In speaking of the new mail steamer
Arundel, which is soon to be put on
the shore line between Alpena and Bay
City, the Au Sable News comments as
follows. "The arrival of the iron
steamer Arundel, is announced at Bay
City, but it is said she will not take
her place on the shore route for some
time. The vessel was purchased last
winter by Cole 81 Holt, for S22,500,
since which her width has been increas-
ed from 22t to 2S feet, by means of a
guard. She has also been given a full
length cabin with 26 state rooms.
About 20 tons of cement have been
placed between her frames under the
floor. The complete cost of these and
other improvements is $4,000, and
they have made the Arundel a hand
some and commodious passenger boat.
The people of the shore expect much
from the Arundel. She is called a
fast boat, and on her it may be possible
to get from Bay City in something less
than ten hours"

straight across the gap from the main
dam, and, also, an additional gate is
being put in, this making the dam,

of no little value in times of high
water, and doing away with any fears
of the dam again being carried away
by floods.
