We fear, however, that there are resi-

not realize that Cheboygai has any adj
Vantages over any other place. They
take everything for granted, ard, as Il

Sec such feeling of apathy and lack OF
enthusiasm among a portion of our peo.

around and see, all the elements of fu-

that any of the citizens fail to realize
them, and show that they are proud o

1t has been the constant aim of the
TRIBUNE to awaken the people here to
an interest, in their home, and a pride ,in
1t, as well as spreading the Information
abroad by publishing paper such rs

might be prottd Of Whether we have
accomplished orr aims us far as this
place and its residents are concerned, they
will have to determine for themselves.
but we Halter ourselves that as fir rs at
tracing the attention of the people OF
this state and other states in this direc-
ton, AMI inducing large numbers to visit
the country and manySto settle here. that
the mission'of the TRIBUNE has been
fully Accomplished. We venture to say,
without ,fear. of successful contradiction,
that no town in the state has had "a pa

Whether the people here all appreciate
this or not, they will have to determine
for themselves. The fact that since the
