The drilling at the water works we'll

this week. on account of the hardness of

feet per day, however, and are not
troubled with the rock caving. As they

we congratulate our citizens upon being
sure of an ample supply Of pure water

printed postals to Cheboygan business
men, soliciting job work. If the cards
sent are fair specimen of the work,
and it undoubtedly Island any of our bust
ness men want that kind Of work done

that style. The newspapers of our town
work for the interests of the communi-
ty. and do work equal to the best and at
fair prices. and feel that they are en-
titled to the support of the business men
and the community at large. Give these
snide tramps wide birth and patronize
those that patrOnize you.

grateful that Cheboygan at this season
of the year has an abundance Of choicest
blooming flowers throughout her happy
homes.
