Charity Ball.

At a meeting of Alpena people
last Wednesday evening, it was de-
clded to give charity ball in aid
of the poor in upper peninsula, and
committees were appointed to make
the necessary arrangements. The
ministers of the Congregational,
Methodist and Baptist churches
issued notice Friday, in which they
gave their views adverse to raising
funds by a public ball, and several
church people who had been ap-
pointed members of committees de-
cllned to act, preferring other ways
of securing funds than a public
ball. Notwithstanding, it was de-
cided to have the ball. The Ger
man Aid Society hall and the rink
were both rendered free of charge,
and the former has been selected.
The ball will take place on Tues
day evening, the 9th, and the price
of a ticket for gent and ladies is
placed at 81. Refreshments will be
served on the European plan. For
taking a person to and from the
ball omnlbuses and hacks are to
charge ten cents per person each
way. There is not the least doubt
that the attendance will be large
and several hundred dollars raised
for oh aritable purnoses

They began the organizing of q
savings bank, and were not long
in getting sufficient stock subscrib-
ed, so that temporary organization
could be made. The enterprise had
long been needed and it was heartily
welcomed by business men, many OF
whom subscribed for stock. A
meeting was held and the following
directors elected: w. II. Dawson,
d. D. Hanover, F. C. Holmes, c.
B. Williams, 8. A. Dawson, III. II.
Wittelshofer, and M. O'Brien.
The bank is to be known as the
Alpena County Savings Bank, and
the capital will be $4,000, consist
ing of 500 shares of 500 each. In
getting subscribers to the stock no
attempt was made to have few
persons own all the stock, but the
desire was to get the business men
generally to take the stock in
small amounts so that the benefits
to be derived from the banking in
stitution would be more generally
beneficial than if few owned all
the stock.
w. II. Dawson has been selected
as president, and C. B. Williams as
cashier. The other officers will be
selected later. A good location for
the bank has been selected at the
corner of the Culligan block, on
Second and Chisholm streets, which
is now occupied as a drug store.
Work will be commenced soon
towards building the vaults and
putting in the office fixtures.
This bank will be of great bene-
fit to small capitalists, as it will pay
interest on small deposits, and thus
place person with a small amount
of money on the same level as those
who have large amounts, as their
small earnings will draw interest.
At present, unless person has 5000
on deposit in one certificate he can
get no interest, but when the saw
ings bank is in operation he can
deposit few dollars and it will
earn interest for its owner.
We believe the bank will be
chosen as the depository of great
many thousands of dollars by those
who desire to lay fund aside for
future wants, knowing that their
deposits are increasing daily in
value. When a person knows that
his hard earned savings are toiling
for him and increasing his store of
wealth, it Encourages him to con-
tinue to save, and he not only be-
comes small capitalist, but, as a
rule, he becomes a better citizen,
because he is more interested in the
welfare of society and the mainten-
ance of the laws.
The date of the incorporation Of
the Alpena County Savings Bank
is December Goth, 1893.

Farm Statistics.

A copy of the 14th annual report
of the secretary of the state or
farm and farm products has beer
received by the ARGUS, and from il
we make the following regarding
Alpena county, being for the year
1891:
Acres of wheat, 925; bushels Of
wheat grown, 1926; acres of corn
SO; bushels of corn in ear, 1,241
acres of oats, 1,775, yielding Al ,20s
bushels; acres of potatoes, 493
producing 70,560 bushels; acres Of
hay, $3.50, the product from which
was 4 ITO tons. The live stock was
as follows: Horses 025; mich
cows, 920; cattle, 759; hogs, $50;
sheep, Lis. Amount of wool
grown, 6,151 pounds.
The orchards embraced 300 acres
of apple trees, and the number OF
acres of land in farms was as fol.
lows: Alpena township, 1909;
Green, 8,346; Long Rapids, 10,160;
Maple Ridge, 300; Ossineke, 1880
Sanborn, 1,164; Wilson, 1878,
making, for the year 1892, total
of 44,092 acres in farms, of which
1894 acres were improved. The
number of farms was 456.
AS there are about 100000 acres
of land in the county, the report
shows what a large tract of land
remains to be developed from
wilderness to fertile farms, and
what a great chance is offered by
Alpena to the home seekers.

Electrical Street Cars.

A street railway project has been
before the people Of Alpena many
years, and two charters have been
granted, but expired without any
work being done by the proposed
companies. 1t is a question that
will not remain silent but will come
before the people until a street
railway is an assured fact.
After a two years rest the street
railway enterprise has again come
to life, and this time it is to be an
electrical road with all the modern
improvements, and with possibili-
ty that it will be extended either to
Long Lake or to Ell Cajon beach
the new Alpena summer resort.
A short time ago a Mr.. Wilson,
of Chicago, was in town to investi-
gate and see what prospects this
city offered for the construction Of
an electrical street railway, and we
understand he was favorably i'm
pressed. He represents a company
making a specially of manufactur-
ing street electrical apparatus, and
is we'll equipped for the business, as
we'll as able to carry the enterprise
to successful completion if he de-
cides the prospects are favorable.
We are not fully conversant
with Mr.. Wilson's plans, but have
good reason to think that the stock
company may be organized, char
ter obtained from The city, and a
line run to one of Alpena's summer
resorts.
We hope the project will be a
success, and that an electrical street
railway will be in operation before
the close of 1894, and we believe
that sufficient stock would be SUBJ
scribed for by Alpena's people,

been organized in this city was
made known to the public by the

the first to publish the important
news. At that time all the stock
had not been subscribed for, and
the organization has not yet been
fully completed. but it will not be
long before the much needed insti-
tuition will be in full operation, and
we believe it will have successful
career.

The usual treatment of catarrh Is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands can
testify. Proper local treatment Is posi-
lively necessary to success, but many, II
not most, OF the remedies In general use
afford but temporary relief. A cure GER
tainly cannot be expected from snuffs,
powders, douches and washes. Ely's
Cream Balm, which is so highly CON-
mended, Is remedy which combines the
important requisites of quick action,
specific curative power, with perfect safety
and pleasantness to the patient The
druggists all sell 1t.
