Whitmore Lake.

Whitmore Lake.

This place has taken on a genuine boom, buildings are springing up in every direction. Eight days ago Pray Bros. struck the first blow on the new store building of Chas. L. Rane and tonight it is complete, shelving in, painting done and it is ready for Messrs. Lantz & Taylor, who will occupy it for their general store. This building is 22 feet by 50 feet with 24 foot posts and we venture there never was a building of this dimension put up in the same length of time in Washtenaw county.

Jas. Robins' house is finished and his household goods are here and he will be ready to receive callers in a few days.

Our new cheese factory building is complete and the machinery will be here in a few days. Mr. Robins expects to start the factory by May 15.

Mr. Donahue, from Dixboro, has purchased a lot and will build thereon this summer.

Ed. Glavin has purchased a lot from Mrs. Pray and will build at once.

We are glad to learn that Mrs. Wm. Dunlap is convalescing after a three weeks' tussle with La Grippe.

Miss Mary Kearney, of Ann Arbor, has been the guest of Miss Mae Dunlap the past three days.

Miss Eliza Kearney is our new school marm. She opened school Monday with 42 scholars, 20 of which range in age from five to nine years.

Miss Lucile O Conner, of Detroit, is visiting her aunt Miss Marr.

Detroit parties are negotiating for a site on which to put a $15,000 club house and the Pray Bros. always on the alert for the welfare of Whitmore Lake say they will accommodate them.

Maurice F. Lantz of the firm of Lantz & Taylor has gone east to purchase a stock of goods to place in the new store which they will occupy next Saturday.

The stone foundation is being built for the new depot at this place.
