 John Paul was taking care of bGsi- ness at the Bank of Alpeaa for Cashier Bell, who bad gore on q business trip to the country Mir. Paul looked fanil- far in the bank, having been a figure there since its organization until few months ago when he retired to enter the hotel business.
 Center Bros. are the same busy set. Besides Busy Jim, three clerks were helping take care of the dry goods, groceries and hardware going over the counters.
 ". H. Auman is a dry goods mer- chant and shows his business is good. He pleased us by taking up the slack in his Tribune subscription, and making us feel welcome in his quarters.
 W. H. Kirkpatrick, the hardware merchant, took care of his Tribune subscription like as fit were pleasure to him. MT. Kirkpatrick is known in the social world as an artistic whittier. He can make anything out of wood or iron that he wants to and the many toys, puzzles and playthings he has made in the years gone by are in the hands of the travelling public, as each traveller fully expects a gift each time he calls.
 Dykes drug store is one as orderly kept and inviting looking as store of it's kind in town several times larger than Alpena.

 The faces of two of our soldier boys, Ola Gurley and Tommie Howerton, were familiar. The boys had few days off from quarters at Harrison, and were headed for Green Forest for short visit with-some of their friends.
 Going across the street at full speed was Prof. Gurley, who told us it was the weekend to be spent at the home of his father, in whose company his wife had already left town with in a buggy.
