Neb., is a flouriebing new town on the Republican branch of the B & M . R. R , in Neb.. It is situated on the N. W. quarter of Sec, 9, Township 4, Range 10, occupy ing eighty acres. The land was origi nally owned by Thomas B. Ilohrtr of Hagerstown, Maryland, who still retains one hail interest in the town site. It lies in the extreme northern part of Webster Co., one mile south of the Adauii Co., line, by rail nineteen mile outh of Hasting the county seat of Adams Co., and twenty-two miles north east from Red Cloud the county seat of Webster Co., and is in the midst of some of the finest agricultural lands in Ne braska and second to none anywhere in the west. Its distance from the larger towns of Red Claud and Hastings, and the fine Jarge agricultural territory trib utary to it, renders it future pure. Blue Bill wi'l make eno of the most en terprising inland towns in the 6tate. "The location of Webster coun ty is ono of the best on the American continent. It cov ers towns one, two, three ond four north of ranees niue, ten, and eleven west of the sixth principal meridian. Its south em boundary is the 40th parallel which is the latitude of Philadelphia, Colum bus, Indianapolis and Springfield, and it forms a portion of that splendid section "of Nebraska known as the Republican River country. It is also out of the great valleys on the asending table lands of the plains, and therefore re moved from tho xnasmctic influences which are inseparable from tho valleys. Tho country is in tho fifth tier from the Missouri river and emprises about 370, 000 acre." Tho R. R.. and homestead lands in this vicinity are mostly taken up, though there are good tiactyet to bo had from the B. k M. Co., and from private par ties on good time and terms, prices ranging from three to eight dollars per acre for raw, unbroken lauds improved from five to fifteen dollars per acre. There is no placo in the west where a farmer with moderate means can acquire a competency as quickly and eaai.y as to Webster Co., or in the southern part of Adams Co , Nebraska. Blue Hill was laid out in September 1 878 under the auspices of the B. & M. R..R., in Nebraska by the famous D. N. Smith, civil engineer of Burlington Iowa. ,Mr. I. O. Martm of the B. & M: R. R., reached Blue Hill 'before the station bqujt) Was quite finished and opened" tks5feegraph office on the 20th of October 1878. The office fur freight and passenger business was opened on 4th of November following, which may be considered as the natal day of the town. Although nearly everything in the mercantile line is represented there are yet a few good opening in Blue Hill especially furniture, clocks, watches and jewelry. -A good opening for a news paper this fall a live man who can run a spicy little sheet and do good job work can grow up with us A handy man who can filing a razor and manipulate a pair of shears could easily establish him self here. We have a good set of live business men here already and so far as our town wants are concerned, they are few and sure to be supplied, perhaps in some instances overdone as elsewhere. We want good substantial farmers we have many'such now. but thtre is room for hundreds more considering agricul turally there is no better country any where and its full developemnt is in tho near future. We simply deare to state the facts as they exist. Let grain and stock farmers come here and see what has been accomplished by those living here within, the past four or fire years; men who peg on with little or no capital, scores of them can now be found well started on the sure and easy road to a competency, who had they re mained in the far east might have delved amongst the rocks, and stared poverty in the lace during cfceir ajjpnUfife time. We do not wish to'coateythe idea that this is a 'poor soans eldorado. a Dlace where bounteous nature fill the Up, 1 trwlrAr ani I ) a i- aavif-tvArtl ZA A - r1"' " -"". vt tuuifc-. openea oui ousiaess on tne iota or ren ins;.

A married man would need comidenible more mean than a siogle one as be would re quire more improvements to begin with. We will now give a list of the business men of Blue ElilL ALBERT BLCMENTIL4L was the first man to run np a okc in the town. He selected his location at the time Mr. Smith laid out tho town eite and while the R. R., carpenters were building tho station house. He dug a cellar and ran up a small building 16x24 to which he has since made an addition. Mr Blumenlhal is proprietor of the original "Blue Hill" hotel, and has taken good care of the hungry and of tho thirsty. Ho is also agent for the McCormick Harvester and Binder ami the Adams & French Harvester. H. Blumenlhal is a go ahead man and in tends to erect a good substantial buildiqg to meet his necessary business wants, contemplating a wider range of business. Mr. Blumenthal opened Oct. Qtb, 1878 HALL k WXTMOBE were putting in a six ton scale and erect ed an implement shed 24x30 while Blumenthal was building finisbiac it at nearly the same time, being ready for business early in November. . Mr. John A. Wetmore was the first P. M., but he soon sold out his interest in business to Mr. E. V. Hall, reeigniac the office of P. M., in favor of Mr. Hall who in turn resigned in favor of Mr. Martin, who took charge of the office on the 25th of March 1879. Mr. Martin is also Notary Public Mr. Hall sold out hw interest, went to Kansas to look at the country, but has returned to his first love and now repre sents the Buckeyo Harvester and'Wcy rick Header. JAMES MURTAUOH Blacksmith, the "oH reliable," hails from near Ncllo, Neb. He was early on the ground selecting a good location. He opened hi shop on-the 10th of Nov. Good people all with one accord confess that Jim is hard to boat shoeing homes. He manufactures tho "Boss" grass hopper plow which 13 not appreciated a? it bhouid be, because it U made by "Jim" verifying the old saying that a "prophet in his owa country is without renown." COL. JOHN a. rJOOYZR during the war times on Gen. Logan s staff, has represented W. L. Thatcher in the grain business since Nov. 10th 1879. John is a genial old veteran, soldierly and bluff, chuck full of business, and always ready to pay the highest price for grain aud stock. Col. Hoover and Mr. Thatcher are at present constructing an elevator which when eomplated will attract large quantities of grain that otherwise would not bo drawn to the town. JOHN W. DAVI8 of Hastings, opened a general merchan dise store on the 23d of Nov. 1878, with John F. Grimes formerly of Knoxville 111., in charge. Mr. Grimes is a gentle manly manager, and gives good satis faction. He is assisted by Billy Bar nett, formerly of Hebron Neb., a very capable and pleasant young man who suits everybody, and who will doub'less male his mark in the mercantile world some day. Mr. Davis has enlarged his building until it is 80 feet deep and chuck full of gods. He carries a full assortment of Dry Goods. Clothing, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, Drugs and Hardware etc. Give him a call. D. WKINBERO of Chicago and Hastings, opened out the first of Febuary 1879. a ice stock of general merchandise, including Clothing, Boots, Shoes etc Sol. Waudelbom manager, and Peter Merlings clerk. Sol has a good frame building 22x50 feet and carries a well selected stock, thor oughly understanding the business of a merchant. He sell cheap. JOHN MCTHIERXAX of Hastings has just completed a fine two story building 22x50 feet with an addition of two ground fl or rcoras, the building would be a credit to any town. The upper story will be used for a town hall We understand that Mr. Their tuan intends to ran a straight grocery 6tore. He is popular, dsserves patron age, and will soon be with us, and we wish him what he will doubtless have abundant success. JOSEPH TV.

Joa kaows where to ind it and snake you happy ia sheet metre. Joseph like his Egyptian namesake, haakereth after the graia of thekai. He certainly claweta ia his share. DAVID SMYTH. Formerly of Miaonk HI., opened a good j feed and livery stable on the March. Unlike David of old, 19 th of he has of Liberty." anJ 2.00 m year not repented; you will always isd him on hand, attentive to bnines, and obtig . -, t n t -.. tng. uxvo mm a cau wsea juu mi anything in h Hoe and yoa will gut the worth of your mosey. MB. A. Kor:sc of Winona. Minn., opened' a good atock of Hardware, Tiaware aad Stores; early in February. He has a good baildiogV good stock and fret class goods with prices to suit the times. MR. H. H. MUXAON of Silver Lake, opened up a f rst-dass Wagon and Blacksmith shop on the 1st of April Hank is a goed bey aad a good workman, and is drawing his share of the trade. Across the street from Hank's we find an 'louder" blacksmith thakc otherwise JACOB OOLL MQ. Jake is j". first-class workman hails from Hastings. We hear his anvil ringing from 4Early morn, till dewey eve." That means bunne. and Jako gets plenty or it. That is all we have got feminst Jake, he rattles that anvil a little to early in the morning, disturbing our lumbers. AKDRKW DICl West of the depot, runs a good boarding house, plenty of good grub neat aad clean. The "Well diggers home" is not very attractive on the oateide, but you will be agreeably disappointed when you cross the threshold. Give Andrew a call; you will fare worse in many a pretentious hotel. Mr. Dice is a good carpenter and works at his trade. He located here Dec. 18th 1878. Speak ing of eatables and such, reminds us of our friend JOIIN McLETTAIf who has built the rear part of hie hotel and hss it in running order. The front part will be built in good shape immedi ately after harvest The boys say the girls sot a good table then do doubt snob is the case. In ruy bacheler days I al ways thought tho table good when it was presided over by good looking young Udtes, they help a meal out wonderfully some way but now I want something more substantial in the shape of beef steak and onions, with a blind robin thrown in as a relish and I don't care who brings it FEED JAEQER opened a fir-tclas Boot & Shoe shop on the 21st of April, he has a good shop and residence combined and is doing work as well as the best. J. O. BURQESfl Harness maker, opened his shop the 16th of May, 1879. John is the good look ing, pretty young man of the town at least, so say the girls and they ought to know. He carries a stock of harness, saddles, bridles, etc., that will compare favorably with anything west of Lincoln, and is bard to beat on repairs, and his new work is very fine. PHILIP EVERHART formerly of Hancock county 111., located here in March. Ho purchased a good farm 1 J miles east of town and has built a neat five roomed reiidenoe with other outside buildings, in the town. Mr. Everhart is in tho Coal trade, and also agent for the Grand Detour Plow etc. Mr. Everhart is over fifty years of age, yet full of pluck and energy has farmed nearly all his life time; is Wf 11 pleased with the town and surrounding country. Mrs. Everhart bought a farm about two miles west of town. They keep some boarders and wa understand will take a few more. LOUIS BITTERS succeeded Nick Hcngcr in the batcher trade and is erecting a substantial build ing in the place where the old shop stood. We need a butcher, therefore we welcome Mr. Bitters but feel impell ed to say in all kindness, that we do aot approve of the location of his pig pea, nor bis plan of slsughteriag animals in the center of thft town. Please move your pen in the suburbs somewhere, and hereafter do your elaaghteriag oat there. Keep a neat shop with good meet and we will stand by yoa uatO the girth breaks. FRED L.
