The many natural advantages possess
ed by Cheboygans are acknowledged by
all who have, given the subject. any
thought, and that II is. destined to be.
come placsSof inn ortance is generally
conceded. Situated. as il is, OH the great
natural highway OF commerce, enjoy ing
good hsrbor aud backed by an abund-
anee of the best Of farming land, possess
ed of advantages for .manuiacturingpur-
poses not excelled by any other point,
and, withal, possessed of people full of
: go-aheaJhiiveness." it is not TO be Won
defed ut that the general opinion is that
some day Cheboygan is to be a city OF
importance. ave know or no other place
that has kept advancing more than has
our village during the period of depres-
sion which, the. country has passed
through. While many other places have
been at standstill, Cheboygan has been
steadily improving. Since the panic
struck the country, although it has not
improved so rapidly as previous thereto,
yet it has kept! steatlily growing; new
citizens have arrived and settled in the
village; various new Industries have
been added TO those OF former years, and
all betokens a thriving and prosperous
village. Whilst other places have suf-
fcred from disastrous failures, Cheboy-
gan has been free from them. showing
'. ,hat- her business men are all on firm
and substantial basis. Competition in
trade has reduced prices until the citi-
{ Gems of CEcboygan can live as !economi-
cally as i'm the older settled portions of the
state. The demand for labor is gool,and
wages will compare favorably with any
G OTHER section of the state. There is 10
need of any person, who is willing to
& work, going idle-thcy can always find
:, something TO do. There are, however,
no sinecure positions to be had, but hon
CT industry will always fud employ

al Will ttle' Wage has been steadily
improving, p. rlqps the greatest improve
mrnt mas been made Within the farming
portion OF the county. Every season
has seen Large additions made to the
Numbered those engaged in agricultural
pursuits, until now, IN almost every di-
rcction throughout the county, can be
seen settlements, Comfortable homes
have been erected and acres OF o. ound
cleared aud cultivated, new roads
orencd and improved, thus adding
To- the wealth of Cheboygan county.
So rapid has been the settlement
aud so great the demand for .homesteads
that all the desirable land in the imrne-
mediate vicinity of the Chcboygan mar
ket has been taken up, but whilst there
are. no desirable homcs;eadlands within
a reasonable distance Of tho village there
is an abundance of choice 70, ming lands
which can be purchased at a reasonable
figure and on favorable terms. By
nakinga small Payment down any reson-
able time Gamble had on the balance.
There is one great advantage in getting
land within reach Of The market, the
settler Gan get paid tor clearing his own
land. There Isl always demand for
wood at a figure that win allow the set
Ter fair wages for cutting the timber,
thus affordng him a support for himself
and family whilst he is making improve
ments for himself. For, all manner of
agriculture products there is ever ready
market and at the highest prices. The
demana for farm produce is 50 great that
it will be years before. the county can
produce enough to supply the homo de-
mand, until it dtes.'the price Of foreign
markets, with the addition, of freight, win
govern the prices, thus assuring the
former the very highest price for all he
raises. When the country becomes de-
veloped and the prediction is in excess
OF the home demand, the. facilities tor
shipping by water, from tins ,pOlt will
always insure transportation at the very
lowssiorates, " hich is agreat considera-
ton in getting the produce to market.
That this section is capable OF producing.
all kinds of agricultural products is no
longer a question OF, doubt. IT has been
settled by SEXUAL experience that our soil
will produce, both as to quantity and
q,ralityscqualto any other section of the
state. We would ask all in older por-
lions ofthe country, who are thinking of
looking for chance to better their con-
dition to investigate the situation and
Advantages offered in Cheboygan county,
we arc satisfied that none will be. disap-
pointed. - - .---a.a l1il s9i-L
IT is. said that the recent successes of
the Russians in Asia aud the probability
that they will soon achieve a decisive
victoryat Plevna, have brought back the
British Government TO that state OF
anxiety into which they were thrown
by The first raid across the Balkans. The
papers that support the Premier's foreign
policy are daily and vehementIy demand-
ing the active intervention OF England.
1t is stated that. the PREMIER has inform

ardized, there may be such an outcry in
England as 10 make war OH the part of
