LUDINGTON.
The western terminus of the F. & P. M. Ry, on the shore of lake Michigan, at the mouth of the Pere Marquette river, is the capital of Mason county, 236 miles north- west of Detroit, and 85 by boat from Mil- waukee, Wis. The village was platted and recorded in September, 1867, there being only one store in the place at that time, and was known as the village of Pere Marquette up to 1874, when it became incorporated as the city of Ludington. Its population, according to the official census taken in June, 1880, was 4,190. and the present population, including the imme- diate vicinity, will fall but very little, if any, short of 5.000. The harbor here, · known as Pere Marquette lake, is one of the finest and safest on lake Michigan, be- ing about two miles in length and one in width, the depth of water is over 40 feet, although the channel connecting with lake Michigan is but 12 feet. Ludington has 7 saw and 4 shingle mills, cutting annually 130,000,000 feet of lumber, 80,000,000 shingles and 11,000,000 lath, a planing mill and sash, door and blind factory, a wooden bowl factory, 2 foundries and machine shops, a boiler shop. a brewery, a grain elevator of 75,000 bushels capacity, 2 banks, and several good hotels.
Three weekly newspapers are published here, the Record, the Appeal and the Dem- ocrat. The public schools are 4 in num- ber, being a new brick central school, just completed at a cost of $12,000, and 3 ward schools. The churches are Baptist, Nor- wegian Baptist, Catholic, Congregational, Danish, Episcopal, German Lutheran, Swedish Lutheran, Methodist and Presby- terian. Among the recent improvements are & $10,000 jail building, and a large number of business places and private res-
idences, most of which are of a substantial character. The Goodrich line of steamers furnish communication daily with Manis- tee and Milwaukee, a small steamer makes two daily trips to Pentwater, and in the winter daily stages run to both Manistee and Pentwater. Shipments, lumber, lath, shingles, tan bark and fruit. Express. American. Telegraph, Western Union. H. H. Wheeler, postmaster.
