The county
needs a daily
mail between
this point and
the river
towns.
This
want, already
a pressing
one, is
growing more
so every day,
and the
increased
amount of
business which
will be
transacted
here in the
spring, and
the rapid
growth of this
country will
render it a
demand of such
a nature as
not to be much
longer
resisted.
The
question of
having it is
only a
question of
time, how soon
we shall have
it is one
which our
citizens can
in the main
determine for
themselves.
Petitions
should be
gotten up and
circulated
along the
route, and we,
who are most
interested,
should be
first to move
it.
Brownville
and Nebraska
City have
already shown
a willingness
to assist in
having it
established,
for they well
know the
importance of
having close
connections
with this
country and
will not be
wanting in
efforts
to accomplish
it. The
matter should
be attended to
at once.
The
roads are
being good,
the days
longer and the
trip can be
easily made in
a day.
Let us
for once lay
aside old
fogyism and
inhale enough
of the spirit
of the age in
which we live
to show some
energy in so
important a
matter.

Editors

Sirs,
You will be
somewhat
surprised to
receive a
letter from
this part
of the world,
especially
from
a person
yon do not
know. Through
the kindness
of one of your
patrons I have
been reading
your paper and
am very much
pleased with
it, Barkey is
not much of a
place—only a
post office.
It is 13 miles
north of
Beatrice, the
county
seat of
Gage county.
It is the
"boss" city in
southeastern
Nebraska. It
has over 4,000
inhabitants,
three
railroads and
a fair
prospect for
two more; has
five
elevators, six
hotels, dry
goods and
grocery houses
in proportion,
one opera
hall, quite
a number
of churches,
and one of the
finest
flouring mills
in the state
run
by water
power. Gage
county is well
watered, There
are ponds in
the "Draws"
from two to
five feet deep
that hold
water the
entire season.
Gage county is
filling pretty
fast with
emigrants from
all parts of
the east.
Most of
the people in
this vicinity
are from
Illinois, your
Humble servant
included. I
like this part
of the state
real well.
It is
some broken,
but not too
much to drain
well. Farmers
are about done
sowing oats,
while a great
many
are plowing
for corn. The
weather is
nice as one
could ask
for. As to the
roads they are
excellent—the
nicest I ever
saw for this
time of the
year.
If you
think this
letter will
not take too
much room in
the columns of
your valuable
paper, I would
like for yon
to publish it.
As this
is my first,
your readers
will probably
excuse
mistakes.
