The sleighing has improved business
for our liverymen.
See notice for proposals for care and
board Of the poor Of this county.
Texas has sent bale of cotton to De-
troit to be sold for the benefit of the fire
sufferers.
The wOrkmen have been at work on the
iron roof of Vim. s. Smiths new saw
mill this week.
A question of considerable interest
just now is: When are we to have the
mail come by rail.
The indications now are that the pre-
dictiOns of Cheboygan's Vennor, as given
in the TRIBUNE last week, were about
correct.
DIR. w. w. BOwes made flying pro-
fessional visit to Petoskey last week
leaving here Thursday afternoon and
returning Friday.
Mr.. Mills has been improving the ap-
pearance of the Grand Central hotels in
terror with fresh coat of kalsOmine
and hanging number of new pictures.
The Alpena Argus has been enlarged;
ditto, the Fife Lake Eye. Northern
Michigan papers are bound to keep pace
with the growth of their part of the
state.
The postOflice at Freedom since the
burning of postmaster Kniffin's residence
has been moved to Jared Dingman's
place and Mr.. Dingman appointed depu-
ty postmaster by Mr.. Kniffin.
The mail cerriers on the route be-
tween this place and Petoskey are very
anxious to have the mail come
by rail. They think they will be reliev-
of the great amount of Canada mail
passing over the route daily.
The new truss of the bridge over the
river on the south corporation line, is in
position, the most of stringers placed
ready for planking and it is thought the
whole will be completed, ready to admit
of travel over it early next week.
There is 10 reason why ChebOygan
man should not be well dressed. There
are so many clothing houses that COM
petition brings prices down so that it is
cheaper to wear new clothes than old
ones and every one sells cheaper than
any body else in town.
Capt. Ames, of the Algomah has re-
ceiyed orders to run hereafter between
Mackinac and st. Ignace in connection
with the railroads. The condition of
the dock at Mackinac makes it some
what incOnvenient doing business but
we presume it will be remedied at an
early day.
At the meeting OF the Board of Super
visors, this week, Jacob Walton and G
Langdon rendered their designations

A. McHenry were appointed, who will

board.
An impression seems to prevail tina
because H. Hale Cobb has become keep
er of the Jail and VIM. Langmaid ha
opened out boot and shoe shop in tn
old laundry, that Mr.. Cobb had given u
the laundry business. Such is not thu
case. Mr.. Langmaid only occupies one
room and the laundry is carried on a
the old stand the same as ever. .See hi
advertisement.
