We understand W. S. Smith, one of the
proprietors, will manage the Mullet
Lake House the coming season and it is
rumOred that Louis Russell will Officiate
as chief clerk. Louis, we have no doubt,
would make popular hotel clerk.
There is chance for a paying invest
ment in Cheboygan to any person who
will erect good, comfortable tenement
houses. The demand for such is already
large, and the prospects are that with
the opening of navigation it will be
greatly increased.
P. ID. Bissell, the new proprietor of the
st. Ignace Republican has made marked
improvement in that paper and the citi-
Zens of that place and Mackinac county

not invest their money in manner that
will give them better returns.
Owing to the inclement weather last
Sunday evening Rev. Marsh postponed

There is firm at Niles which does
quite business in the way of manufac-
turing from wood pulp, called paper
pulp. which is dried, packed, sent to diff
ferent places and sold to the papermak-

are procuring a part of their next sea-
sons stock of timber in 0gemaw county.
Why cannot this manufacture be carried
on here at ChebOygan, where the timber
is near at hand and in abundance?

Last Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs
G. DIV. ROllO observed the twentieth an
niversary of their wedding day by enter

ing 1861-1SS1 connected by three links.
Mrs. ROllO was the recipient from her
husband of a handsome bound volume of
the Art Journal. All present enjoyed
the occasion and in bidding adieu to their
attentive hosts wished them many re-
turns of the day.
We notice that joint resolution has
been introduced in the Legislature for
relief of Alfred j. West. Bereft of its
legal verbiage it is bill authorizing
the board of control to reimburse said
West for losses he claimes to have incur
red in his attempt to construct the Stur-
geOn river cutoff" We would suggest
that the most proper resolution i'm this
connection would be to authorize said
board to repair the damages caused to
the navigation of Indian river through
their failure to compel him to complete
his contract in the time named. or else
forfeit the same that it might have
been let to responsible parties.
