Brewster, the county seat of Blaine county, is beautifully situated in the North Loup valley and near the center of the county. A stage line connects the town with Dunning, about 12 miles southwest on the B. & M. R. R., the nearest railway point at present. However, a branch of the B. & M. R. R. is projected from Arcadia. Although but a new town, Brewster has made considerable progress. There are a Baptist and a Methodist church, two good printing offices and newspapers -- the Blaine County News and the Blaine County Democrat -- two banks, a hotel, a feed mill, a nursery and various other business concerns, etc., which have laid a good foundation for the future prosperity of the town. The population is 200.
