The steam boat makes her last trip
up this week, leaving here on We'd
nesday. The boat will go through her
oVerhauling and necessary repairs
while up in the city, but the main rea-
son for her going up for that purpose
is on account of the large amount of
freight she had to leave on her pier
from her New Years trip that she
could not bring down on that trip.
Then the farmers in this section are
taking advantage of the opportunity to
give the boat a load of corn on this up
trip and avoiding the necessity of
hauling to the. railroad or otherwise
holding their corn until her spring
trips. Hence hundreds of bushels are
being hauled to our wharVes here this
week.
Much preparation has already been
made and is being made at this time
looking toward taking care of the
fishermen who come here through the
warm season for hook and line fish
ing. Aside from the three large and
well equipped hotels here a number of
new homes of large dimensions have
been built and enlarged and at this
time J. P. Cross who has many GUS
toners for his boats and accommO-
dations has carpenters engaged in the
work of changing and remodelling the
interior of his home.
The Ladies Aid Society met at the
home of Miss William M. Short on

of the new year the officers to serve |
this year were elected and installed.

was enjoyed by all. Ice cream, cake
and candy were served and all went
away happy.
