We neglected to call attention to H. j.
Miners new lad" last week, but every
body read it and found it interesting
just the same.
Don't fail to read S. LeGault & Sons
new advertisement this week. They
give figures, on number of leading
articles that are very convincing.
Teams for the lumber camps seem to
be scarce and In great demand. All the
jObbers have been pushing the cutting
and skidding part of their operations, in
order to have as many logs as possible
ready to draw when sleighing came, and
now that that there is snow enough to
draw on, they are all anxious to rush
the logs into the streams.
Several men are at work on the pro-
peller Van Raalte, making alterations
and repairs. Her main deck is being
thoroughly Overhauled, and when COM
pleted will be as good as new. Should
the weather continue favorable they will
soon commence the enlarging of her
cabin, extending it aft and adding a
number of state rooms, so that next sea-
son she will be better adapted to the
north shore route than ever.
The pOstoffice officials, or somebody
else, has been interfering with the rail-
road mail arrangements and the route
agents have been prevented from carry
ing the mail on the road, north of Gay
lord. In plain words this is a fraud on
our citizens, for all the mail from Bay
City up, including the towns on the lake
shore, was being received, through the
courtesy of the route agents, by rail,
making a difference of a day or more in
the time of its transit.
Thursday morning Mr.. N. Biddle
brought the startling intelligence from
st. Ignace that Peter McNally, the well
known butcher Of that place, had COM
mitted suicide Wednesday afternoon, by
hanging himself from a rafter in the
rear part of his shop. No reason is
known why he should have committed
the act. Mr.. McNally was an old resi-
dent of Mackinaw county, having been
born and raised in it. For many years
he resided at Mackinac island, but lately
has been resident of st. Ignace. Some
three or four years since he lost his wife,
since then, his most familiar acquain-
tances say he has been quite changed,
becoming of very respondent nature.
He was good citizen, and universally
esteemed y all who knew him.
