The work on Kesseler's building is de
layed for want of brick.
The foundation for A. Fexer's new
building is completed.
The joists Of the first floor of the Ben
nett block have been placed in position
The copious showers the first of the
week was a great benefit to growing
grass and grain.
The Lansing Republican says: Con-

summer at Cheboygan.
| young son Of John EatOn's while
running baref0Oted in ditch Thursday
evening struck foot against broken
beer glass cutting severe cash in the
instep which had to be stitched up.
There being no preparation for gen.
eral celebration of the glorious Fourth
in our village some of our citizens have
received supply of fire works and are
going to have, individually, little ones of
their own.
Our cOtemporary now says that that
expected" was typographical error,
that they intended to say that Prof. Suth-
erland's application was the only one
accepted by the board out of thirty seven
received. AS there was only one princi-
| pal wanted we cannot see how they could
have!accepted more than one.
The ChebOygan Gun club hold meet
| ing at the club rooms this evening for
the purpose of perfecting arrangements
| for the glass ball and rifle shooting on
| the Fourth, also to consider the matter
of securing grounds for erecting a
long distance range. A full attendance
of the members of the club is desired.
The annual school meeting of district
No. 1. Township of Benton will be held
at the school house on Monday evening
July II, one week from next Monday.
1t is to be hoped that all interested in
the welfare of the school will make an
effort to be present. Two trustees are to
be elected and other matters of import
ance to be considered.
Remember the grand opening party at
| the Mullet Lake House next Monday
leave John +. McDOnald's dock at $50 P.
one of their best efforts will be put forth
on the supper that will be spread and a
good time may be looked for. Remem-
ber you can take it all in for $1.0O.
The tubing for the salt well did not
arrive on either the Pearl or Flora, and
Mr.. Mason, the contractor is getting i'm
patient over the delay. He has num-
ber of men here keeping them at con-
siderable expense and can do no more
drilling until the tubing is put in. 1t
may possibly arrive on the Keweenaw
tomorrow, so that work may be resumed
Monday. - sse-.- ----1
Our citizens should remember the eX-
cursiOn announced by the ladies of the
| Episcopal church, on the fine propeller
Nashua, on the Fourth to Mackinac and
st. Ignace. The ride will be a delightful
one and the object is most laudable
one and deserving of the most liberal
patronage and we hope the result will be
a large addition to the funds of the
church treasury.
If you want to take pleasant ride
on the Fourth an opportunity will
be afforded by the steamers on the in
land route. The Northern Belle will
leave John f. McDonald's dock at her
usual time for the head of Crooked lake.
Parties can take passage on her to the
Mullet Lake House and return on the
| City of ChebOygan in the afternoon or
the next day on the Belle. Fare for the
round trip Is cents.
The improvements on the Methodist
church are about completed. The inside
has been handsomely finished, the win
dOws frosted, and the good people of that
chhrch have reason to rejoice over the
success of their efforts and our citizens
to be proud of another handsome church.
1t was expected that they would be able
to hold their regular services tomorrow
but the paint not being sufficiently dry
it has been thought best to postpone the
opening services until week from to-
morrow, upon which occasion Rev. A. j.
Richards, of Bay City, will be present.
A couple of young lovers, at SCOTS
Point, whose hearts beat as one but who
were sadly interfered with by the parents
of the young lady, circumvented the old
folks by giving them the slip and being
quietly made one by justice. The
Young man had been in the employ of
the girls father, but had been discharged
on account of his over sweetness towards
the young lady. He bid all goodbye and
started apparently reconciled to the
edict of the stern father. The girl was
shut up in her fathers house, but Thurs
day morning while her father was out On
the lake caring for his nets, and while
her mother and the rest of the family
were eating breakfast, she managed to
escape and meet her lover back of the,
school house where he, with a justice,
was in waiting and the marriagecere-
mOny was performed. 1t is said there
was considerable weeping and wailing
at the home of the bride. 1t is verifi-
cation of the adage. "Loye laughs at
LOcksmiths."
