to mention will go to make Nico-
demus q booming town.
In almost every neighborhood of
the older states there are more or
less of it's citizens who are contem-
plating a removal and fol different
reasons. Some 10 restore lost
health, some to make their first
start in the world. Others wish, to
repair financial losses or are seek
ing for safe and profitable invest
ments of surplus capital. There
are many others who have children
whom they would like to provide
homes for but cannot do so with
their present surroundings, but
must seek cheaper lands or
better opportunities in other locali-
ties.
With view to these facts the
people of Nicodemus take pleasure
in sending this circular, feeling
.cnnfdent That if you contemplate
removing to the West and should
visit our locality, you will thank US
for directing you to this spot. We
guarantee the statements here made
are true to the letter. After read
ing carefully, if you wish further
information address the undersign-

questions,
Were we to attempt to fully de-
scribe the natural advantages Of
the town of Nicodemus and sur
rounding country our pen would be
powerless to do the subject justice.
| 10 get correct idea. Of the grand
eur Of this highly favored section
one must behold it with the natural
eye. We are located in lovely and
picturesque South Solomon Valley
situated on the north side Of the
Solomon river, which IS half MILE
distant, with gentle slope to the
South it affords a beautiful site for
q town, The surrounding country
is q marvel Of beauty for it's smooth
undulating surface. Those who
have travelled extensively over the
west are forced to admit that ne
section surpasses ours in beauty
and possibilities. To the north for
eight miles one unhrpken stretch
of rich farming land while to the
west for six miles the same is seen.
The soil varies from the rich, sandy
bottoms to black fertile loan of the
higher lands. All cereals do well
here. One farmer from Georgia
has experimental in cotton and
has secured | bale to the acre. We
feel safe in saying that our section
VIII produce anything grown in the
, temperate zone. Horses and mules
, raised here compare favorably with
those Of Missouri and Kentucky
Freed from the malaria Of low land
and the intense cold of the north
, land our section occupies that
! healthful medium that not only
gives long life but it's bracine
, breezes are stimulant tonic be-
! getting appetite for food and in.
spring energetic exercise fol
! labor.
WATER Power,
The Solomon river at this point
: affords superior facilities for water
power which await enterprise an very
little capital to utilize it. This il
an excellent point fol- a mill The
nearest mill at this time being p
miles distant Farmers would fine
a mill at this point a great conven
fence and would patronize it extern
: siyely. This trade is now held by
: neighboring towns.
! RAIL ROADS.
AS yet we are without a rail road
! but no les than five lines have
been surveyed through the county
! during the past year. Three o.
! these We ,Rrc, sure of obtaining
The exter1tion of the Central Branch
3 Of the U. P. r. r.. now only 2:
g miles away, the Santafe which i:
