We would call attention to the pros

a, Nearly all the mills have shut down
for the, season, and q grand advance is
being made towards the woods for an
active numbering campaign the coming
winter.
j. Jackson & Son are making prepara-
tions for large numbering operations in
this section. The tug Cygnet took up
lighter load of supplies for them to Null

A tighter loaded with hay for s, Baker
& Son, sunk above the locks Thursday
night, and being so badly water soaked
the most of it was allowed to float down
the river and out into the lake.
Messrs, Andrew hurry, John hurry
and Fred C. Rich, have leased j. N. Per-
rvs foundry and machine shop, and will
carry on the business in all Its branches
under the firm name Of hurry & Rich.
They are practical mechanics of long
experience and guarantee satisfaction.
| THE specimen suit for the uniform of
the Cheboygan cornet band was placed
| in the window of H. j. Miners store
yesterday afternoon where it shows for
itself. The boys, when arrayed in that
! STYLE, will make fine appearance.
There is considerable sum of money
yet needed to pay for the uniforms, to
raise which subscription paper is being
circulated. The boys are deserving of
liberal subscriptions and we trust that
all will respond as literally as possible
to their call. et~u. 1884. s
n The Aurora last evening attracted
much attention. 1t was pronounced by
many as the. most magnificent auroral
display they had ever seen. What made
it more remarkable was the varied col
Ors displayed and the rapid changes. At
one time the red white and blue was
distinctly seen; at another all the cOlOrs
of the rainbow. The northern heavens,
reaching from the east to the west,
would be covered with crimson glare.
To the superstitiOus it was pOrtentious
and we heard some declare that it was
the precursor of some great evil, just
what, they did not pretend to state. At
one time. while display was brightest,
shooting star appeared and for some
seconds was quite brilliant part of the
display.
The late Democratic victories, remem-
Der, are owing principally to mOngrel
tickets, and it remains for 1884 to re-
deem the mistakes of 1882. When we
come to look oyer thea political field,
there is really nothing strange about
the political defeat in New York. Be-
sides the general apathy among the Re-
publicans, the oldest and most infuen-
tial Republican papers were so Outspoken
in their criticisms Of the way in
which the Republican ticket was nomi-
mated, thatit amounted to a practical
opposition. In fact. the state went by de-
fault though the Democrats of course
will claim that their superior manage
ment did 1t. Their story will be short
lived, 1.-The sober second thought of
the people, will in 1884 cOnsign the
Democratic party to Its old hole in the
ground. Our Democratic friends need
not rejoice over what they may regard
as fatal break in the great Republic
can party. The party which conducted
the war to a successful issue, re-organ-
lied the south. and restored the finances
of the country, will, at the proper time,
reassert her supremacy and regain all
| that her enemies now regard as hope
lessly lost. 1t Is q matter of history
that the Democracy never yet had an
opportunity Of doing good that it did not
take some step that baked every fair-in-
tentiOn. Its leaders never have SEEM
cd tOrealize the responsibilities, deyoly-,
| ing upon them, but rather the kind who
sought the qualification Of revenge in
preference to the welfare of the country.
