E. A. HALLOWELL,
REAL ESTATE AGENT
BELLEVILLE, REPUBLIC CO., KAN.
Bargains in Real Estate that will never come again.
Hard times are passing special inducements to parties seeking homes. Desirable as a home for families wishing to change their residences, some of the advantages are the general fertility of the soil, producing abundantly the grain, fruits and vegetables, and of an excellent quality ; and, added to this, a good quality of stone for building purposes; and coal, the supply of which appears unlimited, and good for fuel ; and the abundant supply of well and spring water, both soft and hard, besides the numerous creeks and streams assuring inex- haustible supplies of this very essential element of habitation.
While the soil, under proper cultivation, will average very well with other sections of the Great West in the production of the smaller grains, it is in the producing of corn, the natural food for fattening hogs and cattle, wherein it is unsurpassed. This industry now leads all others here, and, as a result, those who have turned their attention to it are on the road to prosperity and wealth ; as a result, good houses and other buildings on the prairies.
Fine orchards and farm improvements rise up marvelously quick. In fact very many of our people here are as comfortably situated with homes, school and church privileges, as their neighbors of the older States, are again as an evi- dence of that wondrous fascination so beautifully illustrated by our own Senator Ingalls, in his, "The subtle, which having once breathed its sweet prevailing influence, recalls the footsteps of the wanderer back to the land of his adoption," has been so often exemplified that it needs no further emphasis, than to recall it as one strong proof of our hospitable clime; indeed a very few leave us but to return again.
Again, the facilities for a ready market are good. The Missouri Pacific skirting the south and following up the Republican Valley, and the B. & M. bounding us on the north, afford competing transportation lines for the ship- ment of our stock.
The general thrift, hardiness and intelligence of the people, coupled with the cheapness of our lands, contribute much to induce still further immigration to our county. There is plenty of room yet for more good families, as but little over one-third of the land is under cultivation. Come and see us. There is no danger of homesickness, no reason for the blues, as the air is healthy, and the financial condition, both public and private, good.

PLEASANT VIEW NURSERY,
SCANDIA, - - KANSAS.
J. A. MOSHER, Proprietor.
This Nursery is situated half way between Belleville and Scandia, thirteen miles south of the southern line of Nebraska, and seventeen miles north of Concordia, on range and township lines between 3 and 4; has been established 13 years ; has stood grasshoppers and Eastern tree-peddlers, etc .; and has to-day the most complete assort- ment of Fruit, Forest, and Ornamental Trees of any establishment of the kind in northwestern Kansas. Our trees are all dug with a tree-digger, which is made especially for the purpose, and does away with the bruising and mangling of roots, which is usually donc. Our grafts are taken from bearing trees on our own ground, and only such varieties as have proved worthy are propagated. Espec- ial pains are taken to have nothing but first-class stock leave the nursery, and properly labeled and true to name. Prices will be found as low as first-class nursery stock can be sold for and leave a living profit. I give my especial attention to the business, and intend to make it second to none in the State. Do the people of this county want such an institution in their midst, or will they con- tinue to patronize a one-horse institution, and every tramp that chances to come along, claiming to represent some nursery which often proves to be falsely represented ? Read carefully, study your own interests, and patronize home institutions. Help build up your own county by spending your money here instead of giving it to men who have no interest in the county only to gull out and take away every dollar they can get hold of. In connection with the nursery, I make a specialty of breeding thoroughbred Poland-China Pigs, Plymouth Rock Chickens, ete. Pigs furnished in pairs not akin, and pedigrees if desired.
