to which may be found hidden in the Wani ' Ads, and each answer will be the name of one
of the towns or cities in the state of Nebraska. The names of these towns and cities will
not necessarily be given as an address at the bottom of an advertisement, nor Mill they
necessarily be used in designating the town itself.
