Nelson & Bullen have something new
TO say to our readers in their advertising
space.
The Mackinac Lumber Co.'S mill at
Black River shut down Monday for the
season.
Rev. Russell failed to come last Sunday
and consequentlylno services were held
at the M. +. church.
Police business seems to be unusually
dull this week; still the officers have
been on hand all right.
Rev. W. M. Campbell is still very i'll
although he is some better than he was
the fore part of the week.
The work of finishing the business
rooms in the Bennett block is being push
ed and it is expected they will be ready
for occupancy in few weeks.
S. Widrig, with crew of men, has
commenced framing the timbers for the
frame of VIM. s. Smiths new saw mill.

From all reports st. Ignace must be a
hard place. We hear of one man who
after contemplating the general wicked
ness of the town had fit. 1t Is said
that "Point whisky" will do most any
thing.
No letters were received by Thursday
nights mail. The mail carrier must
either have failed to receive the bag at

In either event somebody is to blame
and the matter needs investigation.
Rev. L. G. Rogers was called upon about
5 o'clock last Sunday evening to attend
the funeral of Mr.. Crawford, at Craw-

some disappointment was caused there
by.
Messrs. w. S. Humphrey, /. S. Cooper
and Ivory Littlefield have been having
such success killing deer that it gave FL.
j. Miner the "buck fever" and he gather

ments, took to the woods to join theparty
and is evidently meeting with success,
having sent down one carcass.
The man who wrote the ChebOygan
Democrat about the Odd Fellows reunion
here and about the drawback to the
future of Manistique, must have inter-
viewed one of the sneaking, chronic
grumblers that infest this burgh, as he
does not state facts. One of his statements
is base falseho0d. -ManistiQae Pioneer.

pliments,
We have been requested to urge upon
the members of the Congregational
church and society the necessity of at
tending the meeting at the church next
Thursday evening to take some action
toward securing pastor for the church.
1t is desired that there should be large
attendance of all interested. Let all
who desire to see the pulpit filled and
the church opened again bear in mind
the night and make an effort to be pres
ent.
