This issue of the NORTHERN TRIBUNE
makes another halt year of its existance,
making year and half since the issue
of the first number. During this period
it has never failed to make its appear
ance each week OH the day of publication.
1t has been the aim of the manager to
make it good. live paper, one deserving
the support of our citizens ut large. 1t
which it believed to be to the interests of
this northern portion of the state, and
especially of Cheboygan village and
county, and it prides itself in the belief
that its efforts have not been in vain
That through its influence substantial
benefits and improvements have been Sc
cured for our village and county. The
advantages and resources of our county
have been presented from time to time
through its columns until they have be-
come generally known, not only in our
own state but in numerous other states,
AMI the result has been large acquisitions
to the population of the county OF enter
prising anil industrious settlers in differ
ent sections. It's efforts in this direction
have been ably supported by our coten-
porary, the Free Press, and many OF our
public spirited citizens, and as a conse-
quence, homes have been established
and farms cleared in almost every direc-
ton throughout the county.
That the. TRIBUNE has been appreciated
by the citizens of our county has been
manifested by its constantly increasing
list of subscribers, and the generous sup
port given it by our business men. for all
of which we have endeayored to give
value received in the way of furnishing
n good newspaper, and presenting the in
terests of our business patrons in such a
manner as to bring them prominently
before the public. In its advocacy of al
public measures il has been conscientious
in presenting that side which it thought
to be right, AMI which would promote
the best interests of all. In local matters
it has been its aim to keep it readers fully
posted, and give them each week full
account of all occurrences of interest and
has endeavored 10 make its local columns
one of the leading features OF the paper.
Each week it has given in brief and
concise manner, such items of interest
occurring throughout the state as our
space would admit of, together with such
important incidents transporting through
out the land as would be of interest to its
readers.
1t shall be the aim of the manager in
the future to keep the TRIBUNE fully up
to the standard of excellence it has sus
tanned in the past. and make it paper
that should be read by all our citizens.
While we are sratified with the success
it has already attained, we feel that its
usefulness could be, and should be, great
~ increased. This can be easily accom- /,

Who is there among It's subscribers that
could not influence some one or more Of
their neighbors to subscribe? Tie sic
cess of paper depends in Il great meas
IRE upon the support it receives, and the
better it is supported the better paper
can be afforded. 1t is conceded fact |
that there is no influence so paramount |
for good in a community rs well conduct
ed newspapers. ana in this respect we
think that Cheboygan has reason to be |
proud. There is no question but that
the papers published in this village will
compare favorably with any of the
country papers throughout the state, and
indeed arc far better than many papers
published.in even larger towns than Che
boygan.
The TRIBUNE shall ever be found the
earnest advocate of any, measure TIT
will advance the prosperity and subserve
the interest of this northern section, and
we would ask the cooperation tall inter
ested in the development of this portion
of our state, and especially of Cheboy
gan county. in its endeavors, by giving
cordial support according rs it may be
merited. 1t will endeavor in all matters
to keep up with the times and keep its
readers posted upon all subjects of inter- I
est. +,
