There will be an excursion from Omah to Neligh, Antelope
county, Neb., on the 4th of August (next Wednesday).
Neligh is the western terminus of the S. C. & P.R.R.,
and it will remain so for some years. The excursion
train will leave Omaha & Northwestern depot at 6 a.m.,
and will arrive at Neligh by 1:30 p.m., returning the
same evening. Parties wishing to stop over can leave
Neligh the following day. Fare for the round trip is
$5.15 -- about one-fourth the regular rate. There
will be an auction sale of lots in the town of Neligh
on that day. This will afford our business men a good
opportunity to look up the advantages of Antelope
county. The census gives it a population of 4000 souls,
most of whom have emigrated there within the past year.
Neligh is the principal town in that section, and is
the starting point of the government freigh lines to 
the northwest. The whole Niobrara cattle region is
tributary to Neligh, and the S.C. & P. railroad
comtemplates opening stockyards there this fall.
The crops in Antelope county are better this year
than they ever have been before. From the outlook
of Neligh we can safely say that there is no better
opening for investment now offered in this state,
nor ever has been.
