We Judge that the hotel business
in this city must be good and that
trade over the country is not so
much demoralized . reports wonld
have us believe. The fact that there
has been nearly hundred arrivals
at the Exchange the past week is a
circumstance that goes to show the
business prosperity OF Owosso.
Miss Emma Pennell, of Wall
Lake, Oakland county, is visiting at
the residence of B. S. Retain.
Messrs. Dewey & Stewart are re-
fitting their business office at the
mill in fine style. They are, also,
overhauling the machinery at the
mill and putting everything in the
best order for the fall business.
Parker's Fine Cut Chewing at DO
cents, can't be matched for less than
SO cents, and is the best goods for the
price we ever saw.
Messrs. Dewey & Stewart will pay
$I.o5 for prime quality of wheat
the crop of 1882, which is from S
to 10 cents above the market value.
The Estey Manufacturing Com
pany have the walls of the new build
ing nearly up.
Mr.. Fletcher has the cellar walls
for his new residence, corner of
Oliver and Park streets, completed.
On Saturday evening DR.. Parkill
returned from his three weeks vaca-
ton spent at Jackson, running his
son-in-law's drug store while he and
wife his went on a pleasure trip to
New York.
The editor or THE TINES is under
special obligations to DR.. Irving A.
Watson, Secretary of New Ham
shire State Board Of Health, for a
copy of his annual report for the fis-
cal year ending April 80, 1883. 1t
is an exceedingly interesting and
valuable document.
The Press says that Alderman
Wolverton "moved that the city At
torney be instructed to ascertain
and report whether the so called
TIMES Publishing (or printing!, Com
pany' is legally chartered corpora
tion." As usual, the Press mistakes.
He was not instructed or even re-
quested to make any report, but SIM
ply to ascertain the fact. Nor is it
true, as stated in the Press, that Aid.
Dawes objected to or inquired into
the sufficiency Of the surety on the
liquor bond of Christian Hux. 1t
was another of the Aldermen who
did that and Aid. Dawes should not
be held responsible for the acts of
his associates. Again, it is not true
as stated by the Press that "Ald.
Dawes moved that the bond be sent
back for further security" This mo-
ton was neither made or seconded
by him. Further, it is not true that
Aid. Jones said che knew that the
Council authorized contract at
SIS per year," because Aid. Jones
knew that by oversight that resolu-
tion failed to be passed, and that
thus far no action had been taken
by the Council. He was simply ask
ing the committee on printing for a
report as to what had been done by
them in the matter Of a contract for
the printing the present year. Just
that and nothing more.
As we go to press we notice that
Parker is receiving dray load of
that Magnetic soap. Basket of
flowers with every three bars at a5c.
For the finest Toilet soap 60 to
Parker's
Thursday morning the high water
and accumulated mass of logs in the
Grand River swept away the bridge
of the d. & M. railway, and poured
its torrent of water, logs and rubbish
down upon the city carrying away in
its track the bridges of the G. r. &
l., and c., & w. M. railroads, and
doing immense damage toIproperty
along the banks of the river: The
sight is said to be terrible one, and
that the business men of Grand
