Parents. why don't you get you child
rem to attend Sabbath school.
We notice good many boys around
the streets that should be at school.
Why don't the village council take
some action in regard to street lamps.
Cheboygan is comparatively free from
scandal mongers; but she's got some
awful liars. ih.t
The entertainment at the M. E. church
next Monday evening will commence at
s o'clock, sharp.
A few of our citizens have set good
example by clearing their yards of all
rubbish. A right move.

Smith Brothers are going to make some
important improvements in the steam

to be taken out and larger one put in
which will greatly increase her speed,

To allay the feeling as to the unsafety
of the Bennett block, in connection with
the Masonic party, we would say that
two Of the weightiest members of the
fraternity, two that come the nearest to
weighing 1000 pounds to the square foot
of any, will be absent from town on the
occasion of the installation ball.
The ladies of the Working association
of the Congregational church, seem de-
termined to go on with their good work
until every thing about the church is in
good shape. Having secured a handsome
audience room and new furnace for
heating the same, they are now cOtempla-
ting arrangements for better ligh ting
the church for evening services.
j. P. Sutton, president of the fire com
pany received notice from the Meneely
Bell foundry, Troy. N. Y. that the bell
for the company was cast and had been
shipped the first of the week. The bell
weighs 513 lbs and costs $173, including
mOuntings complete. IT will probably
arrive by rail as soon as the trains COM
mence running regularly on the rail-
road. 'T tg 6srt
Another season Capt. Bouchard, with
the Van Raalte, intends. to call at
Beaver island on his Manistique route
and to do so will be compelled to make
part of his run in the night, and this
will necessitate state rooms, so carpen-
tiers are soon to commence rebuilding
her upper deck. The cabin and dining
rooms will remain about the same size.
Nine state rooms will be added.
The tenchers in the graded school did
not receive much encouragement from
the parents of the pupils in the way of
attendance upon the public examination
yesterday. Notwithstanding special in
yitations had been sent them to be pres
ent, the attendance was very small in
deed. During the forenoon only six Wis.,
itors put in an appearance. In the
afternoon the number was slightly in
creased, but not near to the number
that should have been present. A rep
resentative of the TRIBUNE had the pleas
ure of hearing the examination Of the
senior and intermediate departments
examined in geography and was much
SlAased to see the proficiency the pupils
~ attaided, particularly In regard to
.UC.own state, with which they seemed
riectly familiar, showing that they
rad been thoroughly drilled In this
ranch.
