The St. Francis Branch.
John Morrissey , the Burlington's inim
itable agent , has moved from town to
the depot one and one-fourth miles dis
tant.
Seven stores and houses were moved
in one week from Blakeman to Atwood.
Mr. Gaunt has moved the McFadden
building over and will soon put in a large
stock of merchandise.
A public meeting was held , the other
night , in Dillon's hall , and the establish
ment of a creamery was about perfected.
The stock sells at $25 per share and each
stockholder receives 6 per cent premium
on all proceeds.
Jesse Chambers , the popular Burling
ton brakeman , is taking a lay-off visiting
his parents. Miss Grace Newsome ,
daughter of our popular physician , Dr.
Newsome , is home from Concordia , Ks. ,
"where she has been attending college.
Miss Mclrvin , daughter of Dr. Mclrvin ,
Rawlins county's leading druggist , is
taking a vacation from college life visit
ing her parents. Many of our citizens
who have been absent for some time , re
turned to the best town in Northwestern
Kansas to enjoy the holidays.
The holiday week has been a week of
social pleasure and gayety for the young
people of Atwood and surrounding coun
try. There was a dance , Christmas eve ,
at Atwood , held in Dillon's hall , and one
at Blakeman , held in the school house ,
New Year eve ; both of these functions
were large successes. About twenty of
our young people went over to Blakeman
on New Year eve to the dance. Christ
mas night , also , there was a dance in
Blakeman which was participated in by
a number from the county seat. Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Fairchild gave a party to a
few of their young friends on the evening
of December 27th ; nut-cracking and
games were enjoyed till a late hour. On
the 7th there will be another dance at
Atwood and every effort will be made to
make it a success. There has not been
so much social activity since the days of
' 91-2 , and ' 97 has passed the threshold
surrounded by a halo of social and busi
ness success that brings pleasure to the
hearts of the young as well as the old.
The prospects for crops , next year , are
splendid. The acreage of winter wheat
for 1898 is greater than it has ever been
by a large per centage , and conditions
promise the best of quality and a large
yield. With these splendid prospects
and the exposition to be held in Omaha ,
next summer , there is reason to expect a
large immigration of home-seekers to
this section of Kansas and the adjoining
parts of Nebraska. Farmers in the east
who pay high rent and realize small re
turns from capital and labor invested ,
will surely be strongly impressed with a
country of cheap land , a country where
the wheat crop of a single year has been
in value worth two or three times the
market price of the land that produced
it. Never in the history of this section
has so much been realized from capital
and labor invested as the farmers have
received from their wheat crop , the past
fall. Blakeman , Atwood , Ludell and
Herndon , the four stations of the Bur
lington in Rawlins county , have had and
still enjoy a good business in shipping
grain. The amount of merchandise
shipped in and the quantity of stock
shipped out shows the Burlington is doing
a fine business on the Orleans and St.
Francis branch. The abundant crop of
winter wheat raised last year , and the
better prospects for 1S98 will open the
eyes of eastern people to the possibilities
of the Beaver valley and adjacent terri
tory as an agricultural and stock-raising
country. President Perkins of the Bur
lington indeed knew a good thing when
he purchased a tract of choice land west
of Atwood up the South Beaver in the
western part of the county.
