(Submitters note: The penultimate page of the paper this week printed an article on the Atlantic Northern & Southern Railroad, summarizing its first year of operations and characterizing them as having been profitable. It further reported that there was a stock subscription drive under way to extend the railroad at both its northern and southern termini, from Kimballton in the north to the town of Manning and from Atlantic in the south to the town of Villisca. The article concludes as follows:)

"The Danes never do things by halves. They not only build big barns and fine houses, but they stock their farms with the best of animals and when other transportation fails to give them satisfactory service, they build their own railroads. Three cheers for the Danes."
