common occurrences now. Some fine
strings are brought back.
There has been change made in the

ID. Quay & Son, having now disposed
of their interest in the planning mill,

At the meeting of the chairmen of the

An infant child of the engineer on the

taken to Chicago for burial.
Some enterprising lad, with boat
could make good thing by starting
ferry from the docks to the ChebOygan
Lumber Co.'S mill. Every day a number
want to pass both ways and any one
would sooner give nickel to be set
across than to walk around by the road.
A site for the excelsior mandatory
has been purchased of VS.. Humphrey
on the straits, east side of the bay, Oppo-
site the Michigan Cedar and Lumber
Co.'s mill. They have commenced work
building, and will set their boiler next
week. They intend building docks and
making other important improvements.
Messrs. Thompson & Robinson have
leased the planning mill and finishing
shop of ID. Quay & Son, and will hereaf
ter be able to furnish all the plain and
dressed lumber required. In addition to
this, they will continue their contracting

the requisite push to make success of
the business, and we predict that they
will.
Mr.. Vim. Elliott commenced operations
this week on tract of land below Dun
can which he intends to convert into a
marsh for raising cranberries. 1t is
said to lay very favOrably for that pur-
pose, bordering on Duncan creek, which
will enable him to food it at little cost.
Many are watching the result of this
venture, and if it proves success they
will also engage in it.
A short time since, man chartered

he grabbed his satchel and started. At
ter getting out about ten miles, the wind
died away, leaving them becalmed. Be-
coming Disguised at the situation, the
passenger thought to cheer himself up
with dose of liquid invigorator, and
proceeded to open his satchel in search
of his flask. Imagine his surprise, when,
upon opening it, he found instead of
his inspiriting flask, nothing but designs
for tOmbstOnes. By misteke he had TAX
en- Thomas Laundy's, the Port Huron
Marble mans, satchel instead of his own.
The Congressional pot in this district
continues to boil and the can didates are
active all along the line. Il looks like
Bay County, unless they should unite on
some one candidate, would lose the prize
and something Loud heard from in the
convention. Some of the Democratic
press in the district are flattering them
selves that Bay County will feel so sore
oyer the defeat of some of their candi-
ates as to causeEsOme detection and thus
they hope to carry the district and elect
Democrat, but we believe their hopes
are grOundless. That while the candi-
atee and their friends are all making
the best fight they can before the NOM
inatiOn, after the question is settled
as to the nominee all will be united and
work for the successful man and that
the Republican candidate will be elected
by large majority.
1t has been suggested by some of our
citizens that subscription paper be cir
culated to procure uniforms for the
cOrnet band. We think the suggestion
good one and would like to see it car
ried out. The boys are deserving of
some recognition by our citizens. No one
who has heard them play can but notice
the great improvement they have made |
