One of our citizens Tuesday made quite an extended tour through the town of Inverness, and expressed great sur prise at the improvements that have been made in the past few years.

Boggs went down on tho City of Cleveland Saturday to try and recover tho property. Detached from tho en gine they are only worth the price of old metal, while to replace them on the en gine would cost a largo sum of money. The Bay City Tribune tells of $5 sent by a resident of that city to John Mc Donald of Cheboygan by registered let ter in the spring of 1332. In due time the receipt was returned signed by John McDonald. Tho matter stood thus until a few weeks ago when John McDonald went down to Bay City and politely in formed the gentleman that he. was in debted to him $5. The gentleman look ed up tho receipt and showed that John McDonald had been paid, John McDon ald came home and traced up John Mc Donald and got his fiyc dollars, and a satisfactory explanation. As there is near a dozen John McDonalds in this section the mistake is not surprising. But all's well that ends well.
