NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
THURSDAY. DECEMBER II, 1884.
Newspapers and Newspaper Men.


The Port Huron Tribune is for sale.
Feathsrly, Of the Lakeside Monitor, Au
Sable, has been arrested for libel. He
gave bail.
John Haibel, Caro- printer, has pur-
chased the KNOXVILLE Sun. He will do
we'll If he keeps it up to its past stand
ard.
The Holly Register recently burned.
Jenkins saved his shirt-the same old
shirt that his friends have gazed on for
years.
Shoot the new head on the Manistique
News. The paper is very we'll edited and
printed, but the "get up" is little crude.
The artist evidently tried to be too fine
: and over-done the matter.
1t is said G. C. Praksr, of the Capac Ar
gus, Is the youngest editor In the state.
We would like to know who is the oldest,
just to see how long a man can survive
on green wood and promises.
Tom Hanna, late of Duluth and form
erly local ON the st. Clair Republican, is
now connected with the st. Ignace Re-
publican. He is a hustler in the local
line, and will be quite an addition to the
Republican.
David M. Carey, formerly Bay City
journalist, has assumed the management
Of the city department Of the Detroit
Post. Daye is popular with the frater-
nifty, and is valuable man in any Ca
pacity about newspaper.
Bob Toland, recently Of the UAiOnville
Sun, has purchased the Cass City Enter
prise and takes possession Jan. 1st. This
is his fourth venture in journalism in
Tuscola county, and we trust he has
struck bonanza. He is capable news
paper man, and woke the journals Of
that county out of their Rip Van Wrinkle
slumbers when he struck it.
Jas. E. McMullsn, brother of Dan p.
McMullsn of this office, and himself en-
ployed on the TRIBUNE for short time
some two years ago, has purchased the
office of the LIE Mars Qowa) World, and
this week will change the name to the
Ls Mars Banner and says his aim will
be to make it newspaper. We wish him
success, and If conscientious work will
win he will get there.
jelly, whole souled Fred Lewis, who
never fails to make lifo agreeable when
possible and who can turn the neatest
compliment Of any man in the prOfes-
sion, although retired from the active
management of the Bay City Daily Call,
is still connected with that paper in an
editorial capacity. Fred ought to be APP
pointed Commissioner Of Agriculture I'M
der the Cleveland Administration, or II
this is promised the Bay City postoflico
will do.
The many friends Of OrRO Strong, edi-
tor Of the Nashville News, and all lovers
Of morality, will be pleased to learn of
his prompt acquital by the jury on Fri
day last on the charge Of assault with
intent to murder one DR.. l.. A. Foote in
Muy ldSt. TOOto wan bHO llOl loAui
ly physician, and in that capacity Sc
duced MIS-. Strong. When these lecher.
GUS villains become satisfied that it is nc
crime in Michigan for man to protect
the honor of his family there will be
fewer wrecked homes than there is to-
day. Unfortunately the doctor was not
hurt sufficiently to prevent him moving
elsewhere and probably continuing his
criminal practices.
Editor Fairchild, of the Harrisville Re-
view, traded his print shop" and resi-
dencs in Harrisville with j. W. HallOck
for the Grand Rapids Post. Fairchild
took possession Of the Post and issued
one number, when he came to the con
clusion that he was sold, and immedi
ately returned to Harrisville and had an
Injunction issued restraining Hallecl
from taking possession Of the Review
We have not received either journal since
the ruction, and suppose neither will b'
issued until the matter is settled in thu
courts. By that time tho business o.
both papers will be ruined, and the law
yers will have the hard-earned dollars o.
the foolish editors.
