TOWN TALK.


the ice thicker than ever before known.
We have been reliably informed that
a brother of Vim. Donnelly will represent
him in the management of the DOnnelly
dock, the old Humphrey dock, the COM
ing season.
Parties securing the right of way for
the northern extension of the Grand
Rapids e Indiana railroad have been
perambulating Emmett county during
the prese mt week.
Thursday morning the boiler of the
tug Hayden. which has been rebuilt by
VIM. Hess, was hauled from the boiler
shop to Donnelly's dock to be placed in
position in the tug.
A former resident of this village now
living in Chicago writes us that "Che-
boygan with its coolest and toughest
winter is king by the side of Chicago
for comfort in winter"
A lady was elected School Inspector in
the new township of Allis, Pressure Isle
county at the election last Monday. This
shows that the new township intends
starting out on the right track in edu-
catioDal matters.
In our statement of logs and ties got
out during the past winter we credited
Wetmore 81 Co. with 100000 that should
have been credited to P. M. Lathrop. Mr..
LathrOp was partner of Mr.. Wetmore
but the latter was not interested
in any manner in the tie and post
business.
Mr.. Simpson, at his hotel at Mackinaw
City, has registered during the winter
about seven hundred guests. These con-
stitute only about One-fourth of the
people who who have crossed the straits
at that point. This would indicate that
upwards of three thousand people have
crossed at that point one way or tie
other during the winter.
The bill extending the time of the
land grant in aid of the Black river i'm
provement has passed through the Legis-
lature and become law. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether the citizens of
this place have interest enough to secure
the improvement and thereby make trib.
utary to ChebOygan the best agricultural
country in northern Michigan.
The Cheboygan Democrat accuses the
CnebOygan Tribune of uttering "a very
modest lie." We fear the Tribune can.
not conscientiOusly accuse the Democrat
of "very modest lies" But isn't it lit
tie mean to take advantage of brother
by twitting him for being modest, when
you know he can't truthfully rotor
you're anOther.-[POst and Tribune.
The Detroit, Marquette & Mackinav
Railroad company will use every means
within their power to push the growth
of st. Ignace. All their interests can b,
subseryed by making that town the me
trOpOlis of the Upper Peninsula. Che
boygan has the advantage both in natu
raj resources and present size and pres
ent business Importance, but there is n,
use of Disgusting the fact that only en-
ergy and public spirit On the part of oul
citizens will prevent that town from
taking the lead in few years. Will
proper effort on the part of our citizens
we can maintain our proper relative pc
sitiOn. Will we do it?
The Enterprise and Sentinel, pape1
published at Clyde, Ohio, their formel
home, has the following to say of tn,
new firm that succeeds C. A. Gallaghe
in the grocery business: "Messrs. Thoma
J. Carleton and Chris. Battenfeld lief
Monday for Cheboygan, Mich, wher
they are to go into bushes as partner
in the grocery and provision line. Bot
gentlemen have the valuable gift of ex
perience in their line of business an
are moreover possessed of the requisit
snap and enterprise to make such ven
ture a success. This paper confidently
commends them to the community t
which they go, and whittier the goo
wishes of many Clyde friends go wit
them"
