NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1882.

Lost, strayed or stOlen-a number Of
the Cross walks on Main street. We sug
gest that search warrant be issued
and an effort be made to see If they can
not be found.
We think the condition of Main street
this week is conclusive that 1t should be
paved. One man, not property owner,
says he would contribute ten dollars
towards having 1t done.
0. W. Ruggles, general passenger
agent of the Michigan Central, gives no
tice that after December the sale OF
tickets over the Mackinaw division, fol
tourists, will be discontinued.
Aman with shovel was prospecting
Thursday forenoon, trying to find signs
of crosswalks on Main street. at certain
points where 1t was rumOred there had
been indications of such walks existing
The Atlantic on her. trip down, Mon
day, had on 200 bags of wheat, taken on
board at st. Ignace for Port Huron
which. it is claimed, was the first ship,
ment Of wheat ever made from Mackinac
county.
Mrs. MERCER, of RoscOmmOn, has made
arrangements to open the MERCER house
at Mackinaw City on Nov. 30. She will
also run the present hotel at ROscOm-
mon. Her success in the hotel line is
merited. She keeps good house, fur
nishes good table and gives everybody
plenty to eat.
S. Baker 81 Son contemplate making
extensive improvements on their dock
the coming winter and spring, before
the opening of navigation next season.
New dock will be built from the north
end of their warehouse through to the
high portion of their dock, next to Nc
Arthur, Smith & Co.'s dock. The dock
will be made the same height as that in
front of the warehouse, down to the coal
shed, and then somewhat lower. When
completed there will be no better dock
on the chain of lakes.
We would call attention to the pros
pectus of the Detroit Post and Tribune
in another column. The Post and Tri-
bune is the paper of the state, all its
articles being prepared with the greatest
of care and reliable upon all points upon
which they treat. The Weekly is furn-
ished at the low rate Of $1,O0 per year,
so cheap that no one who desires to
keep posted in regard to the affairs of the
state or nation can afford to do without
it. Subscribe for your home paper, and
then send $1.Oc to the Post and Tribune
for the weekly, it will be the most profit
able investment you can make.
Remember the union Thanksgiving
services at the Methodist church next
Thursday. DR.. Hartley, pastor of the
Congregational church is to deliver the
sermon, and all who have had the pleas
ure of listening to Mr.. Hartley are aware
that something good may be expected.
Being union service the church should
be well filled. Certainly all can afford to
give few hours of the day to attending
these services, and in observing the day
in proper manner at their family fire.

which tend to make the day so enjOya-

Last week we published an item from
the st. Ignace Republican, stating that
Capt. j. B, Monder, of the steamer Ste.
Marie, had purchased an old hulk at ST..
Ignace and was going to fix it up for a
passenger boat to run between this port
and Sault Ste. Marie. Capt. Monder in
forms US that he had no such intention,
that he and L. P. Trempe had purchased
the hull with the intention of making a
tow-barge of it, to be towed by the Ste.
Marie OH Lake Superior, the business up
there being greater than the Ste. Marie
could take care of. Next season it is ex-
pected Mr.. Trempe will put on larger
and better boat to run between this port
and the Sault, and have the Ste. Marie
run on Lake Superior exclusively. He
brought the hull over Wednesday even
ing in tow of the Ste. Marie and took 1t
up to the Sault Thursday where it will
be finished during the coming winter.
There was report current this week
