Mackinaw City certainly needs a
village charter. 1t will probably be
granted in June.
Only 16 Bay City bummers-we mean
drummers-in town this week. They
nearly all kept sober.
"Slippery jim" is on the high road to
fortune at st. Ignace, he having been ap-
pointed village marshall.
Workmen have been busy this week
excavating for the cellar for Post & Van
Arsdale's new brick block.
II. j. Miner has fine stock of clothing
and gents furnishing goods, and from
his big adj. Is not afraid to tell people so.
The attendance at church is imprOv-
ing every Sunday. A good thing if it is
not induced by the desire to show new
clothes.
One of our dry goods merchants ex-
presses desire to have the stores closed
at s o'clock. The clerks all second the
motion.
The war over the village printing at
st. Ignace still continues. The Republi-
can is trying to squelch the Spy with
poetry now.
Perch fishing on the dock below the
warehouses is INDUCED in to consider
able extent nowadays, and hundreds of
them are caught daily.
One of the good results Of our numer-
Gus clothing houses is that we have the
best dressed lot of men to be found in
any town Of the north.
Some of our horesemen are out daily
speeding their trotters. 1t is expected
that before the season is over some
interesting races will be had.
We notice that several fruit trees
arrived by boat this week. Just as it
should be-only see that you make selec-
ti0ns most suitable for this climate.
DIR. A. b. Spinney, of Detroit, will be at
the Grand Central for three days, May 20,
80 and 81. Speciality, chronic, surgical
eye and ear diseases. Consultation free.
BE sure to read what Wetmore & Pad
dock have to say in another place. The
Brick "Bee Hive" has always been busy
place and the popularity of the present
managers only tend to make it more so.
Mrs. II. Hamilton would invite the
attention of the ladies of this vicinity to
her unusually large and choice stock of
millinery goods just received and marked
at the lowest prices. East side of River
Cheboygan.
An attempt is being made over to the
Point to have a church and suitable
monument erected over the remains of
Father Marquette. The citizens there
could not do anything of a public char
acter that would be more suitable.
Other towns around are making ar
rangements to celebrate Fourth of July
and it would seem as il it was about
time something definite was done about
it here. 1t was said at one time that the
Fire Company would take the affair in
charge.
Will Decoration day be observed here
is the question quite frequently asked.
1t certainly should be. Many towns
around that are much smaller than this
observe the day. Some of our business
men express willingness to close up
their places of business.
The deadly locomotive has been getting
in its work this week. Tuesday i'm the
cut above the depot the engine of the
freight train run over and killed cow
belonging to man named st. Ely, and
Wednesday two horses were killed near
the bridge at PasslnOs farm-A railroad
track is not good place to pasture live
stock.
The narrow guage locomotive and
other machinery, mentioned in the
TRIBUNE last week as being here bound
for the upper peninsula were reshipped
Wednesday down the road and will 90 to
their destination by way of Chicago.
The trouble was it would have cost too
much to transfer them across the straits
from this point.
The st. Ignace Spy publishes harrow
ing tale about DR.. Champion, but Doctor
tells still worse one about officer Stuart
to the effect that he went up the road
from the Point to arrest man and that
the man captured said officer and after
carrying him 40 miles on hand car left
him cedar swamp to walk home alone
