The leading question now seems to be
who will be our station agent when the
cars get to running regular.
Mr.. Davidson, the photographer, will
remain here another week longer, when
he will positively close up for this sea-
son.
The pile driver has been at work this
week driving piles for the railroad track
over the slip between Macarthur, Smith
& Co.'S dock and the railroad dock.
The wOrkmen have been laying the
floor in the railroad warehouse on the
dock. 1t will be good substantial one
being of three inch plank on jOists three
inches thick.
Horse stealing is getting altogether
too common in our county. OF course
it would be wrong, but if this thing con-
tinues there may be a meeting some day
at which judge Lynch will preside.
The contract for building II miles of
state road in Allis township will be
awarded December 18th. The commits
siOner having the matter in charge will
do well to see that it is given to respon-
sible parties.
Charles r. Smith has sold his interest
in the Smith Brothers mill site to his
brother VIM. S. Smith and the latter is
going to build new mill in the place of
the one burned. He is getting out tim
Der for the frame.
The famous Horr-Gamble suit which
was dragged into the Congressional can
vass, in this district, last fall and over
which our contemporary made such a
blow, has been decided by the Supreme
Court in favor of Mr.. HOrr.
The proposition of holding band
tournament, to be participated in by all
the cOrnet bands in northern Michigan,
here next spring or summer seems to
meet with considerable encouragement.
BY proper management no doubt such
an affair could be made great success.
The largest specimens of garden pro-
duce yet reported for this season is by
Mr.. f. H. Sager, of Burt Lake who re-
ports having raised beet that weighed
II pounds and turnip 1O1s pounds.
He also says that Mr.. A. II. Parker of the
same place raised from one peck of snow
flake potatoes 151s bushels.
The train that arrived Sunday morn
ing brought up quite number of our
neighbors from down the road among
them the railroad agent at Gaylord, and
Mrs. f. M. Towle, postmistress at that
place. We heard several express sur
prise at the size and appearance of our
village, not expecting to find it so large
place.
There has been change in the ad-
ministratiOn at the Benton House. Mr..
Gallagher's lease expired with last
month. The new managers are John
A. McQuaig and Alex s. Mcdonald, both
well known in our village. They pro-
pose keeping first class house and haye
the requisite energy and enterprise to
make it a success.
There seems to be great reluctance
on the part of farmers and others from
the country when in town about calling
at our Office. This is entirely wrong
and we hope our country people will re-
form. When you come to town stop in
and report all items of interest in your
neighbOrhoOd and thereby will do us
and yourselves favor.
On account of animOsities, engendered
by the untOward presence of suscept-
able masculine human in the recepta-
Gle where he and his lawful wife were
want to rest their weary limbs, a GER
tain man raised particular hades i'm the
lower part of the town Saturday night.
Still it is rumOred that during the eve
ming previous to his appearance at the
scene of conflict he had been Willing
the time away among certain class Of
females not having any virtue to speak
of, so the case promises further inter-
esting disclosures.
Capt. Feltus, Of the Schooner Belle
Brown, Wednesday evening went to the
side of his vessel, Oh his deck load of tel
egraph poles, to speak to Capt. Kitchen,
of the tug Pendell, when he slipped on
the smooth poles and landed in the river.
He came up and fioated down between
the tug and vessel where the crew of
