MANISTEE.


The county seat of Manistee county, is a city of 5500 inhabitants, located in the south- west part of the county, on the shore of lake Michigan and at the mouth of Manistee river. It is distant from Detroit by rail and stage via Ludington 270 miles, from Chicago by water 175 miles, from Ludington 31 miles by stage and 25 by boat and is 28 miles south of


Frankfort. Manistee was first settled about the year 1846 and received a city charter in 1869, never having had any village charter. The character of the surrounding country is varied, some portions of it being very good for agricultural purposes; the productions being winter wheat of a good quality, pota- toes, corn, etc. There is also some fruit raised about here and it is probable that Manistee will shortly export large quantities of small fruits. Lumber in its various forms is the principal article of export, there being about 20 saw and shingle mills in and about the city, most of them being located on an ex- pansion of the river, known as Manistee lake.


There are also 2 foundries and machine shops, 2 boiler shops, a tannery, a sash, door and blind factory, and 3 weekly newspapers, the Advocate (Democratic), the Times and the Times and Standard ( Republican). A bank and good hotel are needed. Manistee has suffered considerably from fires during the last few years, but notwithstanding this fact is a thriving place and growing rapidly. It has several very handsome public and pri- vate buildings. The Temperance Hall, built by the Women's Temperance Association (a society of ladies organized for the purpose of suppressing intemperance) at a cost of $15,- ooo, is a splendid public hall, with reading room attached and is one of the finest build- ings on the east shore of lake Michigan north of Grand Haven. A stage runs to Luding- ton and Frankfort during the close of navi- gation. Express, American to Ludington, thence by stage. Telegraph, Western Union. Mail daily. Byron M. Cutcheon, postmaster.
