    Sabine Station is located near the western boundary of the State. It is a
very pretty and pleasant location, with timber and prairie interspersed. Why it
has not a good school and  church facilities, with all other necessary
business houses, seems to be an unanswerable question. Near by is a church house
about thirty by forty feet, well ventilated and partially seated with very good,
substantial, homespun benches. Near half a mile east from the station, but on
the railway line, is the neighborhood post-office, kept by M. Fairchilds, where
is also kept a small stock of dry goods, groceries and many other needed
articles. The ancient village of Niblett's Bluff, of thirty or more years ago,
as a landing and business point, is now a wreck and ruin, the Southern Pacific
Railroad and its stations having taken away its business and its life.
