HHHE Lewiston Town Company, in pursu-
Il ance of the notice given by the President,
held their first meeting OF, Friday, the 18th day
OF March, 1886, at lewiston, where, on motion,
it was Resolved,

ted to mechanics and others, who win immedi-
asety erect buildings thereon, and occupy them,

9th. That these resolutions, With snch ac-
companying remarks as may be thought advisa-
bic, be signed by the President and Secretary
and published in the Squatter Sovereign.
The attention of the public is called to the
foregoing resolutions, which speak for them
selves, and should satisfy all that the Lewiston
Town Company intend to pursue liberal poll
cy, and that the shareholders are not afraid to
speed their own money on the premises. To
those who intend making thsir Qomes in Kan
sas Territory, and settling in town, no point
holds out stronger inducements than Lewiston.
and those who desire to make farms will find
claims as cheap and desirable in the vicinity of
Lewiston anywhere in Kansas Territory.
Lewiston is situated on the Missouri river,
about fifteen miles above the town of Atchison,
and is the most desirable landing, and central
commercial point, for the populoGs comfy of
and emigrant companies coming from Tho South
Will do well to examine the location.
The Town Co. will deal literally with those
who wish to settle in town, and every assist
ance rendered to those who wish to obtain
claims in the country.

GRAND SPECULATION.
T HOLD in my hands an obligation upon the
l. Marysviile Town Company, obligating the
Company to donate to the first person that will
put up Steam Saw-Mill in said town, seven
shares in the towu, which are worth in value
each two hundred dollars. The putting up of
the mill in the town will make them worth two
hundred and fifty dollars each, making the do
nation seventeen hundred and fifty dollars, which
will very nearly pay for the mill. Marysville
is the best location in Kansas for Steam Saw
Mill. from the fact that it is located Immediate
ly upon Big Blue River, where the timber can
be RATED to the mill, and the lumber RATED be-
low, to supply the great Kansas River Valley.
So you can bring on your mill, set it to running
and will give you the stock.
