Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1881-07-16

fixed.
We would respectfully ask our cotem-
porary not to estimate the number of the
TRIBUNE'S home circulation by that OF
its own limited one.
Newton, Ellis, & Co. brought down a
lighter load of extract from their factory
Thursday evening for shipment. One
lot of fifty barrels goes to New York.
The Democrat is now the only paper in
Cheboygan county all set up and printed
at hOme.-DemOcrat That is cheek for
you and equal to his claim to publish
the only newspaper in northern Michi-
igan. 1t is evident to all that the trouble
with him is he has mistaken cheek for
brains.
W. S. Humphrey has offered to donate
to the Grand Rapids and Indiana rail-
road, ten acres of land, fronting on the
lake shore, if they will bring their road
to ChebOygan. 1t Is liberal offer and
we have no doubt but that full right of
way could be obtained free through the
county, should they conclude to come
here. of which, we understand they are
thinking strongly. Mr.. OBrien was
very favorably impressed with the future
promise of our village in business
point of view.
Last Wednesday the Democratic state
convention of Ohio, nominated John W.
Bookwalter, of Springfield, for governor.
The contest will therefore be between
Turbine Johnnie" and "CalicO Charlie"
We predict that Calico will win by
large majority. However Mr.. BOOkwalter
is gentleman, the capitalist of the
firm of James Leffel & Co, manufacture
ers of the celebrated Leffel Turbine
water wheels, and it was owing to his
wealth that he received the nomination,
as he was never prominent in politics.
1t is to be seen whether or not he will tap
his "barl."
The summer trotting meeting of the
Chicago Driving park will be held next
week, in Chicago, commencing Tuesday
and continuing the rest of the week and
will be in all respects, the greatest
trOtting event of the season. $4,000 in
purses will be competed for and the un-
precedented number of one hundred and
eighty five entries have been made, in
Guiding nearly every first-class trOtter
in the United States, such as Hopeful,
Charlie Ford, Trinket &C., &c. The track
is acknowledged to be the best and fast
est in the country. Chariot races every
day of the meeting. The managers
pledge themselves to use every endeavOr
to make this meeting the most success
full and pleasant of the year.
The ChebOygan gun club held meet
ing at the club rooms last Tuesday even
ing and elected W. S. Humphrey as di-
rector of the Northwestern Rifle associa-
ton, each club belonging to the associa-
ton being entitled to one member of the
Board of Directors. The club has ar
ranged for three matches with the Lake
View club, of Chicago, the first to take
place about the tenth of next month and
the other two at intervals of two weeks
thereafter, each club to shoot on their
own ranges, and telegraph the scores,
and afterwards exchange and forward
the targets used, so that each club can
see the result on the targets. The club
has about decided to purchase land for
long range shooting and erect club
house, and expect to have some of the
crack clubs of the west visit them and
contest matches with them. One of the
members, we understand, has already or
dered long range rifle.
The Methodist church last Sunday was
filed at both services, that of the even
ing being, probably, the largest audience
ever convened in Cheboygan, chairs be-
ing placed in the aisle to accommodate
quite number who could not be seated
i'm the pews. We have heretofore eX-
pressed our opinion of the improvements
made, and it Is only necessary now to
say that the church received numerous
compliments from those present at the
services. We are gratified to state that
the efforts to raise the money to pay for
the improvements were decided sue
cess the full amount necessary, being
pledged at the morning service. Rev.
Campbell and wife made liberal sub
scriptiOn aiding materially in securing
the amount, and in the evening Elder
Richards, sprung a surprise upon them
by calling upon the audience for a suffi-
Gent amount to make good their pledge,
which was easily raised. The success of
this effort to improve the church is
mainly due to the fact that Rev. w. M.
Campbell has proved to be the right man
i'm the right place. The church has never
been so united or worked so tremendously
as since he has had charge. Presiding
Elder Richards conducted the services,
in the morning preaching very effec-
tive discourse, and in the evening hold
ing dedicatOry service closing by adj
minstering the Lords supper.
