Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1882-01-21
THE NORTHERN TRIBUNE, JANUARY d. 1882


The attendance at the M. +. church
last Sabbath was very large, especially
in the evening.
II will be seen that Vim. Langmaid
wants his business known through our
advertising columns.
We have double dose of Indian River
correspondence this week. Last weeks
missive failed to get here in time.
The co-partnership of Stinson & Cham
bers has been dissolved, Geo. StinsOn
selling his interest to H, Chambers who
will continue the business at the old
stand.
The railroad makes the citizens Of
Bay City quite neighbOrly with Cheboy-
gan. The Hotel registers show daily ar
rivals from that fiOurishing city. Moth
ing like having live town at each end
Of railroad to make business.
Geo. StinsOn fOrmely of StinsOn &
Chambers hasn't gone to join the angels"
by large majority; because he is 60
ing to open large stock of boots and
shoes in st. Ignace. Thus the Point
gains good business man and Georges
many friends here all join in wishing
him abundant prosperity.
The advent of the railroad has not
killed the business of the stages on the
route from here to Petoskey by any means.
They still do quite business, yesterday
morning having a full load of passengers
and baggage. While the sleighing con-
tinues as good as it is at present, it is
only pleasant ride of few hours.
The many friends of our former towns
man James A. CrOOkstOn will be graft
fled to learn that on Jan. 1st he was ad
mitted as partner in the extensive and
well known wholesale drug house of
Sheppard, Hazeltine & Co. of Grand
Rapids. Mr.. CrOOkstOn has represented
this house for number of years and
has succeeded in building up large
and lucrative business in the northern
part of the state, where the house was
but little known when he commenced
soliciting trade.
The settlers in the Black lake region
are talking of joining and purchasing a
portable saw mill and bringing it in to
manufacture lumber for the accOmmO-
datiOn of themselves as well as others
who may locate in that section. Now
all the lumber they use has to be haul
ed from ChebOygan and by the time
they get it up there even the very cheap
est becomes quite expensive. We have
no doubt a good portable mill would
prove profitable investment, as that
section is being rapidly settled and
lumber is in great demand.
Owing to the fact that there was but
little business of importance to come be-
fore the circuit court at the January
term. the members of the bar requested
Judge Ramsdell to defer holding court
until the May term. The Judge acceded
to the request as far as the general bust
ness was concerned but thought it best
to open court for the benefit of those
who might desire to secure their final
naturalization papers. All wishing
their final papers should be present
Tuesday next. The petit jurors drawn
for the January term need not therefore
be in attendance.
The ChebOygan Gun club has joined
the Michigan Sportmen's association
and Messrs. Humphrey and Kitchin at
tended the meeting of the association
this week at Saginaw as representatives
of the club and report very interesting
meeting. The association is doing a
good work. 1t has been through its eff
forts that the laws for protecting the
game and fish of our state have been
made so efficient as they are and they
should be encouraged by all interested
i'm the preservation of game. Messrs.
Humphrey and Kitchin Joined the assO-
citation as individual members. The as
ISOLATION requested that the members of
the Cheboygan club look after all viola
tiOns of the game laws in this section
and see that the violators are vigorously
prosecuted.
Thursday forenoon man named
John Allen entered W. C. Moore's place
of business and sold an Overcoat to a
man, who happened to be III there, for
$3.50 Mr.. Moore, who was absent at
the time Of the sale, came in and at
