FalIon'S Prosperity.

From day to day a decided
improvement can be noticed in
Fallon, Each passing week sees
more strangers in the town.
They all pay their way along
and seem to be well supplied
with worldly goods. Buns are
curiosities here, and we might
add, will find Fallon an exceed
ing poor haven ofrest. Business
men are more than encouraged
and report steady increase i'll
receipts. Building progresses
rapidly and there are no idle
men to be seen on the streets.
In the realty line much is doing.
Many people who are keenly
foresighted can see that an in
vestment at this time will pay
a good dividend i'll the near tut-
ure and are taking advantage of
the situation.
Fallon is growing steadily and
substantially; it is destined to
be the metropolis of Nevada.
