NORTHERN TRIBUNE CORREsPNO
DENCE.
MENTOR.

Please excuse long delay In writing,
items have been scarce until recently.
The recent thaw makes it quite COM
Portable getting around again in the
woods.
Times very dull in Mentor, work
scarce but money searcer.
Everybody seemed to enjoy the holt
DAYS as usual Notwithstanding the hard
times.
Mrs. Sam. Freer is quite seriously
aick, we understand however she is on
the mend.
Mr.. A. W. Roberts was the recipient of
fine Christmas present from his wife.
An eight pound girl was about the size
of it.
We had just daisy Of wedding item
written up, but heard just before mail
ing that we had been misinformsd. The
next time Jeff Craig lies to us we are
going to kick him. jeff knew we were
just wild to get onto that item.
John Wakeford and wife have removed
temporarily to Wolverine to keep board
ing house for w. H. Obsar.
Wallace Bartlett expects to emigrats
to Virginia in the spring provided he
can sell his property here consisting OF
100 acres as good farm, partially i'm
proved, as there is in Chsboygan county.
Wallace is one of our best citizens and
we hope he will change his mind.
Mr.. Warren and wife, relatives OF Il.
B. Stokes, have returnes to Vermont dis
gusted after stay of SIX weeks, we are
unable to say whether it was with the
people or the country.
We are in possession also Of a little So
cial scandal in another part Of the town
among the high muek-a-mucks which
for obvious reasons we Withhold just now
from public gaze.
The G. A. r. dance at Wolverine on
New Years night proved to be very
pleasant one, the attendance was large
and the post realized quite we'll out of
il, and we will not omit to mention that
great credit is due the G. A. r. ladies OF
Wolverine for their efforts in behalf Of
our worthy organization.
About the biggest mash we have made
this season was at the supper table on
the night Of the Soldiers dance, cranber-
ry pie was the object on which we plac-
ed our affection. 1t is very seldom we
get mashed on good victuals, and when
we get away from home, we are wholly
unmanageabls in that respect, we had a
partner on either side however that were
ready to choke us off as soon as the vest
buttons began to fly.
We understand that that very clever
and genial fellow spoken of in the Dem
ecrat is about to return to Wolverine
and take up his residence again.
Hank Brady went laundering around
in careless way on the night of the
dance and ran his eye right against
Johnny Brooks fist. Hank must be
more careful in the future or some time
time he will get hurt.
As long as respectable, decent people
recognize drunken louis in society, they
must oftsntlmes expect to be the recip
tents Of indecent treatment and are de-
serving OF very little sympathy.
There is to be quite a number of sub
stantial residences built at RondO thu
coming summer. We are informed they
are to be constructed with stone founda
tions and everything in a substantial
manner. s. ]. Pike has charge of thu
work.
We understand that Jimmy Berry on,
of eur many bachelors is about to cas-
aside his mantle of single blessedness
and don matrimonial robes, just who TIT
fortunate lady is we are unable to an
nOunce at this writing.
Mrs. Orvilla Hodge is ill, we are in
formed.
They say that Rev. Hoyt has gone int
camp on Sec. 5 this township to work a
blacksmithing. The elder shows com
mendable pluck in his effort to maxi
both ends meet.
II the TRIBUNE suggests some way TO
the most of US to get money to pay ou
taxes it will confer favor on = grea
many Memories; we dread to meet the
great lsng fellow with his sausage STUFF
fer under his arm, for that means mon
ey. We hope he will snow under some
where soon.
SOLOMON.
