A respectable lady, residing here for
years, declares that Til Warner commit
ted an objectionable insult, IS years
ago. upon her then year old daughter,
at Alpena.
The guardians Of the law assure us
that the past week has been one of I'M
usual quiet and good behavior, and that
several tramps have made an exodus
from Cheboygan.
f. M. SammOns claims to have the
best piece of meadow, comprising sever
al acres, in this county. It is new land
and he says he is confident it will aver
age over TX tons of hay per acre. Some
of it he claims will go over 3 tons to the
acre. Who has better?
Mrs. Geo. W. Bell has, in addition to
her many excellent qualities of head and
heart, the reputation of being one of the
best neighbors to be found in Christen-
dom, and recent facts connected with
her quiet, unostentatious benevolence
fully sustains this enviable reputation.
VIM. Gainor, one of our enterprising
farmers in the Black river section, and
who has one of the best developed farms
in the county, reports his winter and
spring wheat looking in the best of con-
dition and promising an abundant crop.
Hay, peas, &C.. also promise well in his
section.
Judge Ramsde;l will hold special
term Of the Cheboygan circuit court to

do So and they should take advantage OF
it.

finest building for hardware store in

and by square and fair dealing have sue
ceeding in building up most successful
trade, Read their double column "ad"

We would suggest to the Board Of Wa
ter Commissioners and our efficient vii
lage fathers, the propristy of giving the
slabs and edgings used for filling in the
lot around the water works pump house,
good covering of soil, the sowing of
grass seed on the same, and planting
evergreens and shade trees and other
wise ornamenting the grounds, giving
them Clearly appearance and making
them pleasant and attractive.
Our fellow tOwnsman +. M. Summons
proposes starting next month for DakO-
ia to look over the country for himself.
While he purposes taking two cars load
ed with lumber, horses, buggies, &C., he
wisely concludes to leave his family in
ChebOygan until he "sees how it is him
SELF" He expects to start about the 10th
of July and will head for Aberdeen, in
that territory. We will gladly welcome
Mr.. Sammons back when he gets ready
to return.
