doeth all things well
Operations on the new school
house that was to have been built in
Grsyling, are suspended, which fact
causes us to remark: IL so early il is
done for, we wonder what il was begun
for.
-Excavating has already com
menced for the proposed new store
'building on the postofiice block, and
we'll be greatly astonshed if the frame
don't loom up pretty soon.
Cedar timber is being drawn for
the new hardware store building ad-
joining Sailing, Hanson & Co. Is store,
and we are in hopes to cedargoup in
short order.
Mr. John s. Harder, of the Hard
er House, has arrived home from his
visit to Sliawassee county, and reports
a good old fashioned visit, but was
glad to get back where pure air and
water combines to make life pleasant
in Crawford county.
DR.. n. II. Traver is the new ex-
press agent in place of Ii. l.. Lamport,
who peremptorilly declined TO serve the
company further in that capacity, not
withstauding he was pressed so to do
by them, they seeming (as we all do TO
have full faith in his integrity.
Nevertheless, Notwithstanding,
howsomever as has already been init
mated to us, School Books can be had
at the postofiice at reasonable prices.
A grist mill in Grayling is getting
to be a dire necessity to our farmer
friends, and would be paying invest
ment to the right party or parties who
will permanently establish an industry
of that character in our midst. But
this is not all. 1t would bring dollars
into the Golfers OF our merchants, land
lords and tradespeople, where there
are cents now, in the way of increased
trade that would naturally follow or
accrue from such an institution being
established here at the county seat.
IF there is any one thing above
another that is especially desired and
sorely needed in this village, it is a
grist mill AS it is now, farmers have
to either go to Kalkaslza, Bay City, or
some other remote point outside of the
county to get their rye, corn buck
wheat etc, ground, and which is Il
very sad Inconvenience. There II
enough grain now grown in the county
to sustain good mill, and why not
have it2 Will some one tell us!
