extensive concern, and it is little wonder
that their advent and mammoth expendi-
tures such as the erection of such large and
complete an establishment must necessitate,
should have furnished the nucleus for live,
thriving, bustling village such as I found
Hayward to be.
THE VILLAGE AND COUNTY.
The village was plated one year ago last
February, and possesses at presently one
thousand people and the consequent
business buildings and residences, among
which are two fine large hotels, two large
general stores, one drug store, four billiard
halls, bank, livery stable, blacksmith
shop, school house, a Roman Catholic church
and some of the neatest, prettiest residences
to be found anywhere.
Sawyer county started out with an indebt-
edness Of $4,000, having been obliged to
assume its share of the debts of the counties
out Of which it was carved. The present
year, the second of their existence, will not
only see this debt wiped out, but will witness
the erection of first rate court house, and
when to this is added in the way Of public
buildings a ten thousand dollar school house,
to be begun Immediately, and Congrega-
tional church, for which the funds are nearly
all pledged, Hayward will put on a most
creditable appearance.
BUSINESS MEN.
| Among the business men whom I met are
are the following, who each and all of them
| spoke in glowing terms of their place and
who evidenced to me the possession of the
two essential prerequisites for the building
of a thriving, healthy town which are,
''faith in their towns futuren and "a deter
mination to see that future realized.''
A. j. Hayward, president, and Hon. R. L.
Mccormick, secretary Of the North Wfscon-
sin Lumber company.
E. H. Holbert, cashier of the Sawyer
County bank, of which the above three gen.
| tlemen are owners, and which is as solid as
any private banking house in any part of the
country, and enjoys the unlimited confidence
of the public at home and abroad.
f. L. Clark, proprietor of the Clark house,
which has a capacity for 40 people, and is at
present filed to overfowing.
J. II. Shuler, of the Sawyer house, which
has a capacity for $50 people.
T. B. Otis, of the firm of T. B. Otis &
Co., the pioneer general stock store of Hay
ward.
E. D. Stone, formerly of Augusta, Wis. ,also
engaged in general merchandising and pro-
prietor OF the public hall.
c. II. Clapperton 81 Co., the senior part
ner of which, two years ago came to this place
and who now are engaged in the drug, book
and stationery trade.
E. NJ. Brooks, engaged in the livery busi-
ness.
Connell & Burns, W. F. Townsend, o. A.
Olson, II. E. Tickner, attorney at law, and a
number of other business men.
| think an exclusive hardware store and
tinshop would do well here as it is about the
only line not at present represented.
SOCIAL, ETC.
The state of society for a new town is more
than the usual average. The Ladies Aid
society, very efficient organization, has al
ready on hand funds sufficient to furnish
their church as soon as built and a fourishing
Good Templars lodge attests the tone of NOR
| ais to be found here.
The growth Of Hayward is most phenomon-
al and l am at loss to see how much could
have been done and so many buildings erect
ed in so small period of time. A brilliant
future awaits Hayward, and its inhabitants
are to be congratulated upon their progress
toward all that constitutes first class town.
am particularly indebted to Mr.. R. L..
Mccormick and Mr.. A. J. Hayward, of the
the lumber company and E. II. Holbert,
Esq, of the Sawyer county bank for ccurte-
sizes shown me, and advise all persons visit
ing the place to seek an introduction to one
or more of these gentlemen, who all appear
to have the welfare of the place at heart, and
who will see the visitors are looked after.
There. When Fred reads this he will say,
81 knew Hayward would catch him."
