A newly established post office in Sheridan County.
One of the most picturesque, prosperous and progressive communities in the western part of Sheridan County, 12 miles west of Rushville, the county seat, has a population of 700 inhabitants on the F E & M V R R. It is a town where a man of limited means can embark in business on a moderate scale without the fear of monopolistic power crowding him to bankruptcy, where real estate values steadily increase, without the interference of a speculative fever, where the rich and poor are alike, industrious, and equally reverence the nobility of labor. Hay Springs, although only five years old, is incorporated, and her streets are fringed with all the finery of the forest, the work of mans planting and of natures nourishing. The farmers are thrifty and intelligent, this doing much to enhance the commercial value of the town. Business men are wide awake and fully alive to every interest of the place, and by these means a mutuality is established and the place grows. The Bank of Hay Springs is an institution which by common consent exerts a more vital influence upon the trade reputation and prosperity of Hay Springs than any other single agency within its borders. It has made marches to success and has the good will of the community at large. G. H. Rhodes the cashier, is an expert in all the departments of banking, becomingly conservative, always accomodating and popular with all who know him. The Farmers and Merchants Bank is a solid institution and does a good business. A large flouring mill, brick and lumber yards, elevator, good hotels, schools and churches, and almost every line of business is represented here, mostly occupying fine store houses. The press is represented by the Review and the Northwest News, which are alert with the times and enjoying a large patronage; also several secret societies having a long list of members. The future of Hay Springs is as well assured as any town between New York and Chadron.
