Passenger Steamers Coming.

Stephen Grummond, son Of the
late captain s. B. Grummond, will
manage the Grummond line Of
steamers that will call at this port
during the coming season. The
line will be composed of the steam
ers State Of Michigan and Flora
both good and safe boats. The
steamer State of Michigan will run
between Cleveland, Detroit, Alpena
and Mackinac, making one round
trip per week, and the steamer
Flora will run between Toledo, De-
troit, Alpena and Mackinac, also
making a round trip per week.
As soon as it is considered safe
for vessels to be on the lakes, the
steamer State of Michigan will be
put on her route, and as the winter
has been a remarkably mild one, it
is very probable she will arrive at
this port before many weeks pass.
The placing of the Grummond
line in commission will be likely to
cause the steamers Of other lines to
be placed on the regular routes to
this city about the same time.

Mrs. Woodroe's home, 800 Tuttle

arose and, in behalf Of the surprise
party, presented a handsome chair
