right equal to his sympathies, he would
be tremendous success as an executive
but as it is he is unfit to govern 1 100000

appropriation of $4,000 for light to be
placed upon the pier at the entrance of
the harbOr, also that lighthouse be
built at Mackinac, at cost of $15O,OOO.
Both would be of great benefit to marin
ersy and are ofsuficient Importance, we

Moses Duclo claims to have raised the
first crop of rye in Cheboygan county.
Last spring he put in about an acre and
a half, and he expects large yield for
the amount planted. He left some speci-
mems of potatoes that he raised, at the

latter part of May, and the specimens
were magnificent. They were of the
early rose variety, all large and smooth,
one OF them weighing 10 2 OF. The
quality was as good as they were large.

papers last week a meeting was held in
the council room, last Monday evening,
to take some action in forming an assO-
citation for advancing the interests of
Cheboygan by inducing manufactures
and other important industries to locate
in the village The meeting was called
to order by W. II. Daniels, who has taken
the leading interest in the movement,
and upon motion Hon. Oscar Adams was
elected chairman and w. II. Daniels Sec
retary. The attendance was not es-
peclally encouraging, those who should
have been most deeply interested in the
movement failing to put in their appear
ance. The matter was very generally
discussed by those present all favoring
the formation of such an organization
but it was thought best to defer definite
action for one week in hopes that the
leading property holders might be pres
ent. Upon motion committee consist
ing Of James. f. MOlOney. w. II. Daniels
and Robt. Robinson, was appointed to
canvass the town and see if they could
not get more of the leading citizens in
interested and induce them to attend
, the adjourned meeting next Monday
night. Let our citizens show they have
enterprise and are willing to work for
; the good of ChebOygan. Let there be a
, full attendance next Monday evening.
