ABILENE is beautifully situated on a small
stream Of clear running water, one mile north
of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
centre of Dickinson county, and on the great
thoroughfare from the Missouri River to the
Gold Regions, New Mexico, and California. 1t
is the only town between Junction City and
Salina, and is located midway-being twenty
FIVE miles from each. The country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that
can be found in the State-its character being
an intermixture of timber and prairie, pecu-
harly adapted to agricultural purposes. The
fertility of the soil, the excellence of the water,
the healthfulness Of the location, and the abar-
dance of timber and building stone, are induce
merits of no ordinary character; while in
addition, the rich mineral resources Of this
portion of the State, The Salt Springs, and
extensive Coal Fields west Of us on the Smoky
Hill, insuring the early completion of Rail
Road from the Missouri River, makes it one Of
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, and it now contains a store, blacksmith
shop hotel. Post Office, and several families.

the proper basis on which to erect the
character, adds to an excellent DISPOSE

Upon contrary basis, character may
