The Company have Just completed the largest
Hotel in southern Kansas, being three stories
high ard containing twenty-four large, commo-
dio1s sleeping and sitting rooms. In ADDITION
to the hotel. the Company have built a'large
Storehouse. which will soon be well filled with
all the commodities needed in q country like
ours. A large number of carpenters are now at
work erecting residences, shops, ofhces, &c. The
and others, wishing to locate. The town, from
its central location, being the geographical cen,
ter of Bourbon county, must always command
an extensive trade and soon become an impor-
tant town in southern Kansas. as il is surround
ed by as GOOD FARMING LANDS as were
ever titled BY the husbandman.
CLAIMS.-Good and desirable claims can be
obtained in close proximity to town and timber.
Marmiton is splendidly and must be health
fully located, being on high rolling prairie;-
1t has beautiful streams Of water washing Its
| northern and southern limits. An excellent
STEAM SAW AND GRlST MILL
has lately been erected. and is now in successful
| operation.
CLIMATE.-Marmiton is situated in latitude
s7e So and longitude, lie AZ west from Wash
higher degree of heat than ninety, and never in
the winter gets below zero. Farmers and Me-
chanics find no Inconvenience in doing out t-dooI
work in the winter season. Cattle, hogs, sheep
etc, do well on the prairie during the G entire .t
hottest days of summer. which makes the heat
less oppressive than in many Of the northern
States. Lots will be sold at exceedingly low
figures to persons desiIous of building.
