The hour for evening services at the
churches has been changed to seven O.
clock.
The ovation to James G.. Blaine does
not lessen as he gets westward. Whar-
ever he appeared in Indiana the people
turned ont en- masse to greet him.
Mrs. Robert Patterson left at the TRI-
BUNE Office last Friday ripe wild straw
berry she had picked that day near Top
inabee. Quite number of ripe berries
were picked the same day by different
parties, and the vines were full of bios

The lighthouse tower on the pier at
the entrance of the harbor is completed.
II is all iron and very complete in struc-
ture. Inside is a winding stairway,
leading to the top of the tower. In ship
ping the light mistake was made, a
part of two lights being sent here. If it
had not been for this error the light
would have been in position.
Charles ID. Wheelock. of Munro town
ship, raised crop of oats on IA acres
that threshed out 1O5 bushels. 1t was
the first crop raised, and was sown
among the stumps. The threshing was
done by John A. Horr. The crops in
that town are all reported excellent.
The farmers are clearing up their farms
rapidly, and claim as good soil as any
section of the county.
Capt. David Muir. of the schooner
Margaret A. Muir, says that while in
Collihgwood, accompanied by the cap
tain of another vessel, he went to store
to buy bushel Of apples, but when they
aseertained the price they cencluded as it
would take the freight on fifty bushels
Of grain from Chicago to Collingwood to
pay for the apples, that they would dis

crafts.
1t is reported that man named James

There is only enc James Duggan in this
village, and he has not been out of town
for weeks. Why the editor of the News
should locate the Duggan that did the
shooting, If there was any shooting done,
at ChebOygan, we cannot conceive. Such
a serious charge should have more con-
6rmation than mere report before gain
ing credsnce and being published against
any person.
Our cotemporary adopts the usual tao.
tics of the Democracy in the national
and state Campaign in the local contest,
that is an utter disregard of truth.
A week ago last Sunday Charles J. Hunt,
the Republican candidate for County
Clerk, accompanied by his wife, paid
visit to friends in Riggsville. Learning
of the visit, the editor of the Democratic
organ accused him of going electioneer-
ing on Sunday, and of adopting the DEM
Oeratie principle Of trying to buy votes
by dispensing beer. We would ask the
honorable Democrats of Cheboygan coun-
ty If they are willing to endorse such
disreputable tactics? Cannot Repub-
liean candidate for Office take his wife
and visit friends in the country on Sun
day without having that sheet make
such deliberate false statementsp Do
the Democrats Of Cheboygan county
consider the fate of their ticket 80 hope
less as to require of their organ the
adoption or such a.methodp
The body OF Andrew Wilson, the sailor
drowned off the schooner Two Fannies
while passing through the straits Sept.
22nd, was discovered ia the lever end of
Duncan bay last Friday by boy en-
gagged in picking up drift wood. He
brought word to the store at Duncan
City, and from there word was sent to
Justice Frost, who held an inquest on
the remains. The friends of the deceased
were notified by telegram and answer
ed to have the remains forwarded to them
in Wisconsin, If in condition for ship
ment The lopg exposure of the body
rendered this impossible, as mortifica-
tion set in soon after removal from the
water. A brother of the deceased was in
port when the body was found, being a
sailor on the schooner Lookout. He says
