The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1882-05-06
Mr. q & Hehert of Houohton.

Mr.. G. S. Hebert of Houghton,
Michigan, was in the city last Thurs
day, and called. Mr. Hebert is the
proprietor of one of our drug stores
and also of a similar establishment
at Houghton. He wants to buy good
business stand here, and then he will
move his family and Michigan store to
Superior. 1t seems queer that bust
ness men who want to buy property
and come here to live cannot have the
privilege of doing SO. The dog in
the manager" policy of our real estate
owners is a bad thing for Superior.
Mr. Thompson Richie has in
formed the Trustees Of the Presbyteri-
an church of Superior, Of his readiness
to deed to them two lots for church
building, as soon as needed. These
lots are finely situated on Third street,
facing the bay, on the corner just
North of the house occupied by Mrs.
Nordman. While this valuable gift
will be gratefully accepted by all in
terested, to the many friends Of Mr..
Ritchie's Mother, who remember her
devoted interest and generosity to this
church during her life, it will be re-
garded as a tribute to the memory of
that estimable woman.
What might have proved very
disastrous fire, broke out in McKin-
mons billiard hall last Tuesday, but
fortunately the flames were discovered
and extinguished before any serious
damage was done. The building is in
the middle of a block with a row of
frame buildings on either side, and
had the fire not been discovered Just
as they were, the entire block would
have been licked up by the flames.
The cause Of the fire was badly ar
ranged stove pipe which passes through
the roof. This is another loud call for
q village organization, a fire ordinance
and sufficient water supply. Shall
we have these things before or after we
have fire or two?
Being Of a bashful nature, we
had but recently made up our mind to
marry the first girl that would pop
the question at us, but on our rounds
news gathering, one day last week, we
ran across something which sent cold
wave down our spinal column that
made the toe nails rattle, and made
us vow to live life of single blessed
ness the few remaining days we have
to live. The cause Of the shock was a
pair Of twins, in dilapidated carriage
both crying propelled by grade
higher youngster, while followed be-
hind the mother, herself carrying an
other brace Of twins. Whether they
all really belonged to the one "happy
family" or not, we did not stop to en-
quire, but it looked SO.
An Archery Club has been or
gained in Superior Fifteen outfits
have arrived, and when the club
comes out in uniform they viii make q
fine appearance. They will practice,
for the time being, on Minnesota
Point. The officers are Mrs. 4. Con
nor, Lady Archer; Mrs. c. Ansley
assistant Lady Archer; Mrs L. II.
Warner, Treasurer, and Mr.. J. 7. Ell
we'll, Secretay. If you doubt the skill
of the most unskilIful of them, just
place an apple on your head and let
them shoot at tit won't hurt YOU q
bit. 1t might prove to be the safest
position on the field.
?. S.-We have Just had our hair
clipped short, and well creased, 81
there is no use trying to get revenge
for the above closing remark.
Our esteemed friend Mr.. l.. J
Morand, having become tired Of single
blessedness (?) took unto himself q
wife, one day last week, so we are in
formed, but Mr. NJ. has not yet let us
+ into the secret Of the affair.
