be erected. Mrs. Hayes has been teach
ing a select school this summer, with
marked success and it is the wish of
many that she be engaged to teach the
school in the new building when it is
completed. A large and well conducted
Sunday school is held every Sabbath,
and preaching is had every alternate
Sunday by the regular circuit minister.
A new lookup" has been recently put
up, and this, coupled with the general
prevailing sediment of law and order
has good tendency toward keeping the
boys quiet.
Foremost among the business men is
+. +. Martin, who has a large, double
store, recently enlarged and fixed up in
a style that makes it we'll fitted for the
immense business transacted therein.
He carries an immense stock of general
merchandise, such as pork, -four, feed,
dry goods, hats, caps, boots and shoes,
furniture, hardware and lumber sup
plies, and full line of drugs and medi-
cines, and has full corps of gentleman
ly, courteous and accommodating clerks.
The pOstOffice is also in this building,
and is under the management of Mr.. H.
G.. Graves, and is soon to be enlarged.
Bert" can be depended on to do his best
toward giving satisfaction. Mr.. Martin
is also interested in real estate and has
number Of fine building lots that have
not been disposed Of yet. Mr.. M. has, by
fair dealing, strictly business principles
and an untiring energy built up lucra-
tive trade and has the full confidence of
his fellow citizens.
In one apartment of this store DR.. B.
B. Beach has his Office, he also has
charge of the drug and medicine depart
ment. DIR. Beach is a well-qualified, re-
liable, gentlemanly physician and sur
geOn with an excellent reputation and
large experience, and has come with his
family to make that their future home,
and we think the citizens are to be con-
graduated on this acquisition to their
society, and, no doubt, time will prove
that the DIR. has made wise choice in
locating there.
Mr.. 4. s. Warren has neat looking
store, well stocked with general mer-
chandise, and seems to be doing good
business.
Mr.. M. A. McHenry is rebuilding his
house, which was the first frame house
built there, and when completed will
have fine business stand, which he
purposes to rent, as his health will not
permit him to engage in business that
Is at all combining. He also has large
corner lot on which he cOntemplates
putting up building in the spring.
Mr.. B. r. TOwnley has, in course OF
construction, fine building in which
he intends to keep full line of grocer
les and provisions, and will also keeps
first-class restaurant.
Jerome Forsdick has saloon and bill
lard room, and with Jerome Hopper as
clerk, is doing good business, and con-
sidering all the circumstances keep
very orderly place.
Mr.. ID. Parsons has small steam saw
mill and is kept busy doing custom saw
ing. This in connection with plan
ing and re-sawing mill, run by Mr.. Da-
Wis, is great accommodation to the
people there as they can get small bills
of lumber at much reduced price than
they could if they had to go away from
home to procure it.
Mr.. John Carter is the dispenser Of
justice and the electors evinced good
judgment in electing him to that posi-
ton; as Mr.. Carter is well posted and
has plenty of common sense to back his
decisions, even though opposed by whole
volumes of "bar-lOOm law"
Mr.. E. d. Bachelor is peace preserver
and, as some have already found out,
when ED" wants man he generally
gets him; all threats and loud blowing"
to the contrary, Notwithstanding. Still
he and Judge Carter both believe in pros
ecuting but not prosecuting hayward
ones.
The Indian River Hotel, under the
management Of /. Smith BOckes, is doing
a good business, and has an enviable
reputation among tourists and travelling
men generally. 1t is located at the
head of Indian river and foot Of Burt
lake and has as pleasant grounds and
fine location as is often seen and affords
unusual attractions for parties looking
after suitable grounds for camping out.
Fine duck and deer hunting and fishing
grounds near at hand,
The r. r. bridge is now ready for the
iron and it is expected that the iron
will be laid to that point by Monday or
Tuesday. Engineer Bean states thai
there is but one cut left, of any conse-
quence, between there and Cheboygan,
and thinks the grading will be finished
with great rapidity. The frame for the
new depot is up.
To say that Indian River is booming
is drawing it mild, and it would seem
as though every thing was favorable for
the continuation of the same; lying con-
tingient to a rich belt of farming land
