A telegram from Kalamazoo an
nOunces the death of Mrs. Peter Brady

years ago.
One hundred and twenty-five tickets
were sold for the excursion on the Pearl

The st. Ignace Republican has been
enlarged and Bro. Bissell promises to

ing most excellent paper and should be

''Sir John Sutherland Campbell, Mar
quis of Lorne, Knight of the Most Ancient
Order of the Thistle, Knight of Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of
st. Michael and st. George, Governor
General of Canada, and Admiral of the
same" and son-in-law to her most
gracious majesty Queen Victoria, paid
Sault Ste. Marie visit couple of weeks
since.
In accordance with a law passed by
the legislature at its last session, the
different township school superintend-
ents Of this county met at the office of
the County Clerk last Tuesday and elected
a board of school examiners. o. B. Weed,
was elected to serve three years, Frank
Shepherd for two years and Thomas Ben
thy, one year. These are good selections
all of the gentlemen being competent
and will faithfully attend to the duties.
A gentleman was in the village last
week and visited Black river rapids with
a view of locating grist mill and paper
pulp mandatory in that section. We
know of no better location for both bust
nesses. That section of our county is
among the most productive, and already
has quite number Of well cleared and
cultivated farms which would supply
grist mill with grain. In the same
region is an abundant supply of poplar
and other soft woods suitable for pulp
and the natural fall of the rapids would
furnish ample power to run number of
such establishments.
Indian River village bids fair to be-
come an important station upon the j.
L. & S railroad. Situated in the midst |
of splendid farming section, that with
in the past few years has been settling |

who have already cleared vast number |
of acres and are continually .sadding to |
the extent. Fine and productive farms |
are being made where few years since |
it was a wilderness. That very large |
business is already being dOneis evident |
from the large amount of goods received |
by f. f. Martin alone, scarcely boat |
lands at this port but brings more or less |
merchandise for him. Others there do |
their share, also. Last Sunday the Ke-
weenaw landed planning machine, ship |
ned to the care of Mr.. Martin, which we |
understand is going into shop being |
built by A. L. Handlin. With the COM
pletion of the railroad we see no reason |
why Indian River should not grow rapid
ly and become quite town, and an i'm
portant shipping point, bringing con-
siderable business to the railroad:
Elsewhere will be found notice from |
Varnum B. Cochran, Superintendent of |
Public Instruction, of teachers insti-
tute for this county, beginning Monday |
