WIS. Smith is going to put a single
mill in at his saw mill and manufac-
ture shingles extensively next season.
The Cheboygan river range lights
have gone into winter quarters to re-
main until the opening Of navigation
for the season of 1883.
The effect of the cold IL seem in the
gathering ice fields, along the shores OF
the straits, which are gradually increas-'
ing in size day after day.
Bets are offered, with no takers, that
there will be four months of sleighing
in this section this winter. There is
certainly enough snow to give 1t fair
start.
The drifting snow has furnished bust
ness for the snow plows on the railroad
this week, and with all their efforts they
have not been able to keep the trains
on time.
The Cheboygan light house was lighted
Wednesday night for the last time this
season. Mr.. Graves has kept it in good
running order all season, and has been
faithful and efficient as keeper.
The Algomah had not put in
an appearance at Mackinac City
Yesterday morning when the down train
left. The train on the upper peninsula
was probably delayed and she was wait
ing its arrival.

A party of young folks of our village
INDUCED in sleigh ride party last night
out several miles into the country, and
doubtless had good time. They have
not reported, as yet, how many times
thew got stuck in snow drifts, nor as to
the number of times dumped out.
It is said that congressman generally
favor the reduction of letter postage to
two cents, but they are not all Of one
mind as to when the reduction should
take effect, some favOring the first of
next July, and others are of the opinion
it better be deferred until January 1st,
1884.
We understand Charles R. Smith Is
arranging for having a new steam yacht
built, something after the model of the
Mary, only smaller, about IS feet in
length, with light draft, so as to navi-
gate the inland waters. He proposes
putting in the old boiler formerly in the
Mary, now in use at the salt well.
The tug Winslow succeeded in towing
the schooner Body, with her cargo Of
iron ore from st. Ignace as far as Port
Huron, when the latter lay up. The
schooner is reported as being perfect
iceberg when they reached that port.
The WinslOw reached Detroit Saturday,
and Monday tied up for the winter.
It is needless for us to recommend the
Detroit Evening News as newspaper,
it is too we'll known in Cheboygan, but
we would suggest that in making ar
rangements for your papers for the year
1883, that you do not forget the fact that
in the News you will get more news to
the square inch than in any other paper
in Michigan. The Echo is also the
cheapest and best weekly paper. If you
don't believe it send to the publishers and
get a copy.
According to the Cleveland Leader
v.Chas. L. Brush, the electric light invent
or, has invented process, or machine
for storing electricity, and pronOunces
the invention a complete success. II
says the batteries are simple of cOnstruc
ton and can be packed and shipped like
ordinary merchandise, with no danger In
the handling. Should it prove as sue
cessful as predicted, the time Is not fal
distant when each household can have
its electric lights, If desired.
The Odd Fellows are determined thai
their series Of entertainments shall
not lack for attractiveness if they car
prevent it. They have secured the ser
vices of Frank E. Holton, the celebrated

the impersonator and cartOonist, on tn,
evenings of the9th and 10th of January
They have also arranged with Louis BOOs
the champion cOrnet player of Michigan
to appear with the Root Concert Troupe
Our citizens should appreciate their ELI
-terprise and patrOnize them largely.
