With this number commences volume
of the TRIBUNE. That the paper is ap-
preciated is evidenced by largely in
creased subscription list during the past
year, for which we are thankful, and we
propose in the future to keep up the high
standard it has attained as newspaper.
Messrs. Moore and Grant, Of Bay City,
have purchased lot on Third street, be-

proved.

not be surprised if some fast time should
Zoe made. The posters give full parttcu-
lars.
The Guards went to ChebOygan Al
strong. and Capt. HOlms and members
of the company speak in the highest
terms Of the hospitality of the citizens
of Cheboygan. Alpena money was not
current at all. The guards gave parade
in the forenoon and exhibition drill in
the afternoon. Nothing that heart

as though every desire was anticipated

company and excursiOnists arrived home
about six o'clock this morning, having
good rest on the boat last night, and feel.
