For the benefit OF the Cleveland, Ohio,
Subscriber VINO wrote us = short time
ago asking us to give write up Of Hax-
tun and vicinity rs we'll As for others
that may be interested we submit the
following:
The village OF Haxtun il located in
the western part OF Phillips, county. is
miles northwest Of Holyoke, the county
seat, on the b. & N. railway. It has
general stores, q drug store, lumber yard
blacksmith shop, creamery station, grain
elevator and a hotel. II has an excel
lent school house aud 10 well supplied
with church organizations. The ooun-
try surrounding this thriving little vii.
age is composed OF both farming and
grazing lands. Corn and wheat are
grown in large quantities and it 10 not
/
sufficient profit each year to pay for the
land ON which it grew. An immense
amount OF fodder crops such as cane,
mlllet, etc, is also grown for feeding the
large herds OF horses. cattle and sheep
which are proiitably raised IN the couB.
try tributary TO Hhxtun. Potatoes az
we'll as other vegetables and garden
truck are successfully gown aud add
much to the farmers income. Dairying
is very importsn, industry with large
number OF the farmers and ranchmen
and is probably the most profitable as
we'll Ms the safest business To engage in
when properly conducted. The prices
paid for oil farm products IL equal and
in masy cases higher thnn are paid
farther rnst. lhs climai, ~ health.
ful aud the water is M good as can be
found anywhere. A large percentage si
the population is from Illinois, Iowa and
other states east, aud the fact that they
are satisfied and content with their
present location proves conclnsivsly that
they aro prosperous and No venture the
assertion that vorv few Who have lived
here any great length Of time would care
to return east sgain To live. Although
We do not care TO ndvlss anyone what to
90, We fully believe that many in the
east with small means who are now rent
ers or working out and with no prospect
OF ever owning home would letter
their CONDITION materially by moving
west and securing home Of thsr own
and by engaging in mixed farming IN
the right locality would 10 few years
find Themselves more prosperous than
they eau ever hope 10 be in the east.
