Now buildings weiro everywhere
conspicuous , and the bright smiles
of the business men told of peace- and
piosperity. I met Dr. Peebles , the
old veteran of tin ) medical
deputmont. Ho smiled blandly ,
hunted for the cash to pay
for THE UKU ono year and remarked -
marked tlufc thin w.is a pour country
for doctors and but for recruits in the
infancy line his business would neb
pay for horjo feed.
The b.uik president , Mr. Jai. Bell ,
found 11 golden eu lo in the northwest
corner of the money drawer and re
marked that ho had sold during the
last six months 114 car loads of lum
ber , which item I noted as showing
wh.it a feinglo dealer could do in u
land where half the shingles bear evi
dence of short acquaintance with the
weather.
There was only one man who said
.anything about quitting business a d
that was Henry Will , landlord of the
Commercial liomu. Thy hotel was
full during the three days I stopped
with him , HO ho cannot bo resigning
the lunillorship for wfttit ot custom ;
iiuvertliuloss the hotel is for sale , and
intending purchasers of hotel propctty
should correspond with Mr. Will or
they Will lese ono of the bjst bargains
in that line that I know of. in
There is at le.ist ono store in this
; ity that dons a jobbing tiado ; there
may bo others , but they put t'onv.xrd
no claims in that direction. Mr. W.
G. Boston has sold to dealers during
the past season seven car loads of
hardware , stoves and tinware.
Mr. J. 13. Morgan has made exten
sive additions to his stock of furniture ,
sowing machines and undertaking
goods. pr
A pork packing department has are
been added to the tine meat market of are
Mr. G. G. Gross , wh. > also keeps an of
extensive stock of groceries. stri
It was my pleasure to attend a solo the
of Durham oOtvs , heifers and bulls , pla
conducted by Hon. J. 0. Kpborts , of gra
Roberts , Westovor it Williams , at
torneys. Nearly two hundred head A.
of blooded stock were offered and a ialn
large proportion went oil' with new
owners , but many of the best still re for

time with u low rate of interest or a fan

D. n. Bullock has just refitted and win

Butler county is one of the best and
stock and agricultural sections in the fiivc
state , Its soil iaii rich , dark nllurium , prai
deep and faiablo , and it contaiim just dire
enough silica to render it warm and opis
quick. It has an underlying corrug
ated stratum of clay , supporting a
soil remarkably porous , allowing the
air to penetrate thus moist- Mr

The county has an nroa of 5 ! ) J square dear
at lousit , suvon-eightlm of it being uty
susceptible of the highest itt.ito of cul assai
tivation and the other fraoiion suitable lould
for grazing purposes. The 1'latte fit : on

the Hluo river , Oak creek , Plum creek ho

the southern portion ; while Scull , thel
Bono and Door creeks and their worl

powers invite tlio manufacturer. Thu
topographical foatu.ro * of tlio county
do not vary materially from other
south Platte counties. It is moro
undulated than Adnms county , but
not as much so na Snwmlers. No ordi
nary amoliht it wet wcalhoi- will

The climate is cquiblo and thosoasonn
nro usually propitious. Nature could

eolyos of its advantages. The popu
lation of the county is not fur from
12,000 , , composed of the best class of
Americans and Europeans. Two ini-
uortant railroads i-pati the county ,
the Omaha t Republican Valley , ita
general direction extending cast and
west , mid the Atehison A Nebraska
branch of the lUirlinyton Missouri
Hiverrnilroad runniiiu at right angles.
There are no paupers in the county.
The uducational interests are in
good standing. There is n complotu
corps of teachers , and buildings suf-
liciont for all practical purpose ) . For
their support there is n landed -
od aiidowment of 22,000 , acres ,
and this magnificent fund in
rapidly accumulating in value.
About 80,000 acres of prime land are
for nalo in the county , mostly railroad
and speculators' ttaots , at very reason *
able rates. Excellent well water can
be obtained all over the county , at a
depth of from twenty to fifty feet.
The hardy fruit ? , if properly eulti-
vatod , do remarkably well , and there
are numbers of nourishing orchards
already in successful bearing. Small
fruits , especially , thrive with very lit
tle attention. Altogether , Butler
count } * eilfera inducements to the man
ufacturer , the farmer or the man of
unplu means that cannot be ignored ,
nnd are certainly not surpassed by any
other equal area. It possesses a eoil
of remarkable fertility , a , salubrious
climate , railway and telegraph lines
afford cheap communication with the
great irarts of the nation , churches
and schools abound , and an intelli
gent and thrifty people have al
ready planted their banners here and
are changing the face of the
country from its pi imilive condition A
into fruitful fields , and dotting it
with shady groves and happy hotnts.
Tlio time is not far distant when a
dense population Avill loom on all this
region , and the arts of pcaco will
