patent, that, once you have taken in these sights, tasted, as it were, the innumerable exceptional advantages of a sojourn in the beautiful City of the Bay you will return again and again. This has been found to be the invariable rule in the past with those who visit Belleville. A good civic administration and an unblemished health record are among Belleville's assets . The city has nothing but attractive houses--bright, airy, and modern in construction; the streets are well shaded, and there are gardens and playgrounds in plenty. On the side of religion there is ample equipment for members of all forms of the Christian faith--Anglican, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian are alike provided for. There are five public schools, each capable of holding five himdred pupils, and a high school open to county as well as city pupils. There are business colleges, too ; and in Belleville is the Provincial School for the Deaf, in which three hundred pupils may be found receiving invaluable preparation for the life-work they have to face. Two newspapers are published in Belleville, The Intelligencer published by the Intelligencer Printing and Publishing House Limited. It is the oldest newspaper in Hastings county, having been founded as a weekly in'1834 and a daily in 1866. It has the largest daily and weekly circulation of any newspaper in this section of Ontario and has in connection a well equipped job printing department and book bindery. The Ontario, Messrs. Morton & Herity publishers, was established as a weekly in 1841, daily 1870, has a very large circulation, also job office in connection. The management of these papers are interested in the welfare of the city and do everything in their power to further its interests. Prosperity grows yearly, and the city with its public parks, libraries, hospital, clubs and societies without number, is thoroughly British in every aspect. It is of old standing, but British immigrants have added largely to its population in the past few years. The beauty of the surroundings finds best testimony in the fact that the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern Railways advertise their scenic routes to Belleville; and in addition to this beauty is utility. Belleville apples rival those of Annapolis Valley; the number of herds of pedigree'cattle, the fine horses, and special breeds of pigs, grow more famoiis year by year throughout the province. It is essentially and emphatically the city for live men who know Opportunity when they meet her and are not afraid of work. Already the town has given five Judges to Canada, and two to the United States. It has sent out a Prime Minister (Sir Mackenzie Bowell, K.C.) and a famous novelist, Sir Gilbert Parker. The Mayor, the Aldermen, and the Board of Trade are ready and willing to give the fullest information to every man who seeks a home or an opportunity on this favoured spot. The Executive of. City, County, and Board of Trade offer their services, and no intending emigrant should fail to consider what their city has to offer. Belleville cheese is the best-known in Canada, and of late the demand of the Eng- lish market has taxed the supply. The County of Hastings is a great cheese country, owing to the excellence of the pasturage, the quality of the cattle, and the upto-date methods of manufacture. The business is comparatively young, and yet it is worth to the county nearly three million dollars a year. The Belleville Board alone sells a million dollars' worth annually. For the skilled dairy-farmer, Hastings County offers endless opportunity. The capital required should not be less than $2,500, and need not be more than $10^000. There is also an ample market 'for the smaller man who wishes to traffic in eggs and poultry,1 to say nothing of fruit. It should also be mentioned that there is a steady demand for agricultural labour at good prices, and that the steady competent man can find employment while he is saving the money that will enable him to launch out for himself. The good-fellowship, the splendid climate, the free education for his children, and the increasing opportunities of doing well provide, in combination, an attraction hard to rival in any part of those vast Overseas Dominions to which Great Britain is sending her children year by year. The County of Hastings, the City of Belleville, are names the intending emigrant must not overlook. Belleville is the ideal place in which to work and live. Belleville people will-help you push the wheels of progress. If manufacturers, capitalists, and financiers care for any specific information, by addressing the secretary of the Belleville Board of Trade he would be only too pleased to furnish it upon request.
