Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1884-01-02

Winter tried his hand at the snow
business again last Thursday, and was
more successful than he was the week
before. About three inches of snow
were dumped evenly on the ground,
and resulted in sleighs and cutters
taking the place of wagons and bug
gies. 1t also caused lumbermen and
cedar men to look more cheerful, and
did considerable to move the business
machinery. Warm weather on Sat-
urday caused bare spots to show on
the streets, but on Sunday winter ar
rived with a fresh installment of snow,
and as not much wind was blowing,
the snow covering was laid on the
ground very evenly to depth of
several inches. The result is first
class sleighing, and everybody was
ready for it.

w. H. McCoutie, of Kalamazoo,
renders the following opinion concern
ing the coming winter weather, to a
Free Press reporter "By the way,
my name is not Vennor, and am no
relation of the gentleman, but I can
give pointer about the weather this
winter. Now, after every storm dur
ing this entire season it will clear up
warm. There will be no exceptions.
My rule, and it never fails, is that if
after the equinoctial storm of Septem-
Der Goth and 22nd, it clears up warm,
with the wind from the southwest or
thereabouts-the warmest direction
every storm in the succeeding winter
will clear off warm. In the fall OF
1882, the equinoctial storm cleared
up cold, and every storm the succeed
ing winter did the same"

DID 1T EVER

Occur to you that the tailor who
allows his customers to take clothing
that does not fit does himself more
harm than the customer 1t has
always appeared to US, and we are
probably often the more anxious Of
the two to see our customers perfectly
satisfied. Another great point with us
is that of working out orders on prompt
time, and by keeping such large force
as we have, we are enabled to make
suits almost any time within a week
Have you ever taken look at our
stock of piece goods? You should do
so, even if you do not order, as we
are DESTROYS that people should know
exactly the style of goods we keep
and the kind of clothing we make.

THE Maryland Legislature has elect
ed United States Senator after sew
eral days of balloting. \ good man
was chosen, in electing Judge f.. X.
Wilson. We cannot say more than
quote the words of our worthy towns
man, President Vim. II, Purnell Of
Delaware College, He says in the
"New York Times" 81 have known
Mr.. Wilson intimately for thirty years
and take pleasure in bearing testimony
to bis ability, integrity and indepen-
dence Of character. He is n decided
Democrat, but no man in that party
has more liberal tendencies and more
generous impulses. All who know him,
irrespective of party, esteem him as a
fine scholar, thorough lawyer, an ex.
cellent business man and the uncom.
promising enemy of corruption in
every form. He will make no I'M
worthy successor OF James ALFRED
Pearce, who so ably filled the sea-

advancement Of the worlds greatness
Here is where the mistake lies. Too
little diligence is exercised. The re-
suit of half the fires and disasters in
this country is caused by inattention,
thoughtlessness and lack of duty on
the part of those upon whom these
great duties rest. Let there be more
care, attention, and thought given
these matters. There can be only one
verdict-more attention to duty, less
disasters Of all kinds.

AN OYERGOAT

At this season demands your attention
more, probably, than any other gar
ment, and every indication points to
this as being an unusually active time
for their sale. The demand OF late
years has been for something as warm,
but yet dressier, and not so bulky as
the old style heavy beaver cloths. We
have in stock more overcoats this sea-
son than ever before, and our sales
already show that we have sold a
greater number than we ever did so
early. Ready-made clothing has been
improved so much of late that you can
find among frst>class stock
suits made of material which a few
years ago it would have been consider
ed a venturous undertaking to make
up. The makeup and trimming Of
all clothing has also been greatly
improved and for very moderate sun
person can now procure an outfi
that will answer every purpose that il
needed of it.

limprincipled and cruel destroyer of a

was received with uniN ersal Joy. But
what of the poor widowed wife and
