Thlocation of Guilford naturally gives it unsurpassed advantages as a business point. It is in the center of a large tract of as fine country as lies witLiu the limits of our State. And all this region is as densely, settled "as any section of Kansas. This cannot be de-n'cd, there being one or more persons on every quarter section of land, except a few far back from the rivers and creeks. 'And situated thus, Guilford draws a heavy trade, and it is rapidly growing more important.

With such a country to support it, Guilford must inevitably make a large town, and one of the best business places in Southeastern Kansas. The truth of the matter is, there is now a pressing demand for more men who will engage in business men who will open stores and shops and satisfy the increasing wants of the people of this section. Grocery and dry goods stores, a drug store, hardware store, furniture. and harness shops, would all do a profitable business from the start. Also a lumber yard is badly needed.

The country is improving and growing so rapklly that the demand for building material is necessarily great; Business men cannot find a better town to locate in than Guilford. Now's the time. ra CcyvGIe Items. Noah Wilson hotel and moved onto Lis farm below Colfax. The flouring and saw mill of.
