Judge Ramsdell will preside.
The CheboyganLumber company has
boom strung across the river, from the
upper end of Bakers dock to near where
the tie elevator stands, for the purpose
of catching logs which are to hauled to
and put in the river from the banks
above.
The American express company have
established an Office in our village. I. S.
Cooper, of Kenburg & Cooper, has been
appointed agent and the Office is at the
Central drug store. The general ver-
dict is that Mr.. Cooper is the right man
in the right place.
An oyster supper and social gathering
will be given at the Town Hall next
Thursday evening, by the ladies of the
Catholic church. handsome card re-
ceiver will be presented to the lady re-
ceiving the highest number of votes as
the most popular lady Of Cheboygan.
The directors of the ChebOygan Coun-
ty Pioneer society are talking of arrang-
ing for an excursion to Bay City, to take
the placeOf their annual party and dance,
providing they can get satisfactory rates
from the railroad company. We have
no doubt large party could be secured
to take it in if the fare was made reason
able.
HarbOr Springs had the most accepta-
BILE New Years gift received on the con-
tinent. 1t was new railroad; full
grown one; too large for even a Che
boygan girls stocking.-Emmet County
Independent. What do you know about
Cheboygan girls stockings? They are
not in the habit of exhibiting chem to
half-bresds.
Post & VanArsdale have about decided
to erect new building next season for
their hardware store. Should they do so
the building will be Of brick, SO by 40
feet, and two stories high. They need it
to accommodate their business and we
have no doubt, if they do build, that
they will have one of the finest stores in
Northern Michigan.
The work of repairing the bridge at
John F. McDonalds is progressing. Yes
terday they commenced putting up the
timbers of the main truss. The span
over the main channel is to be raised
two feet higher than the old bridge, and
the approaches raised to correspond, so
that the stamers can pass under readily
without having to lower their smoke
stacks.
Quite large party took advantage of
the first sleighing of the season to pay
Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Ellis visit at their
home on Mullet Lake. The fact that
they visited Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis is suf-
ficient guarantee that good time was
enjoyed. They know ,how to entertain
such parties. The "bOys" were on hand
early this morning to attend to business
for the day.
Since the advent of the railroad Mack
mac City has been having quite boom
in the way of building and the promise
for the future is very encouraging. Next
season, from present indications, will
see quite town built up on this side OF
the straits with all kinds of business
represented. We hear of several differ
ent stores that it is expected will be
started at that point early in the spring
Let her "boom."

their numbering operations progressing
