A Jood Trading Point
Twenty-two miles from . Alliance
and fifteen from Bridgeport, on the
Denver-Alliance branch of the C. B.
A Q. railroad. Is located Angora.
Owing to its favorable situation and
the enterprise of business men who
are interested in the town, it is des
tined to become one of the good trad
ing points of western Nebraska. It
already has a good business' which
will no doubt continue to Increase.
Located on a tableland between
two strips of sandhills, it has tribu
tary to it both ranch and farming
ountry, a splendid combination and
An l'-Uwlate Lumber Yard
The largest mercantile establish

found in a first-class . lumber yard,
this company recently erected a com

no that will give to the enterprising
business men of the town a good
trade. While a considerable diatance
irom the nearest towns north and
outh, as above mentioned, it has a
still larger territory from which to
draw trade east and west.
The original 'townsite was laid out
n a part of the homestead of Frank
Crouch, on the west side of the rail
Toad tjack, where the main part of
the town is located, altho quite a
umber of buildings are on an addi
tion on the east side. Unlike many
western towns, It had no "boom" to
start with. For number of years
its fine ' location was not generally
appreciated, but within the last year
'r two it has taken on new life, with
the result that more and better busi
ness houses have been constructed
than during all of its previous his
aery. ,
Some Lines of Itustness Needed
We want to give a brief sketch of
the business houses of the town, but.
irst will state that there is a good
pening here for a few lines not yet
represented. First, they need a phy
sician and drug store. This is a
kealthful country, to be sure, but
people some times get sick and ac
cidents happen, calling into requisi
tion the services of a doctor. Tin
Herald suggests to any good physi
cian who desires a location, that thii
is a fine, place for him to open an of
fice In connection with a drug store
Mr. Crouch carries a stock of propri
etary medicines, etc., in a small
building which he uses for that pur
pose, but would like for some one tc
locate here who can do prescription
work.
A Sketch of the Town
In'giving a Bketch of the town, we
will begin where we get ofT the train,
at the railroad station, where It. K.
ilaybelle holds forth as the ella-it-nt
agent. Besides looking after the
kU3lnes8 of the company and serving
its patrons in a very acceptable man
ner, he Js interested in raising poul
try and gives attention to other mat
ters for the welfare of the ocmraunl
iy. During, parts of the year when
a night operator is needed, Mrs.
"Ilaybelle very ably assists her hus
band, acting in the capacity of as
sistant agent.
Henry J. Walsworth, postmaster,
'was appointed to the office last Feb
ruary under civil service rules, this
dice being in the fourth-class yet.
He received the highest grade of
those taking the examination and is
well qualified to perform the duties
f the office. Mr. Walsworth came
from Cambridge, Nebr., to Morrill
ounty three years ago and filed on
a homestead claim four miles west
f Angora, so that he has an interest

count of the office which he holds.
surrounding country and the town
as a trading point. They have made
It unnecessary for the people of the
surrounding country to drive long
distances to secure the above men

they handle. The statement in the ad
vertisement on this page, "Every
thing to build and furnish the home"
is literally true.
Cieneral Merchandise Stores

moved from the "Buckeye" state to
Illinois, thence to Hall county, Nebr.,

ago he turned the ranch over to his
sons who, iu addition to cm Juciing
a successful ranch business, have
charge of the post office and a store
