Harrisburg is the county seat of Banner county recently established. It has at present a population of 300 and is rapidly growing. The town site is owned by Schooley & Fisher, who established the place. The nearest railroad station is Kimball on the U. P. Ry., 25 miles distant and connected by daily stages. There are four other stage routes from Harrisburg, two to Gering, one via Banner and via Ashford, distance 25 miles, one to Freeport 18 miles, and one to Clyde nine miles. The Banner stage route to Gering also goes to Hull and Tompson, total distance 68 miles. The town is rapidly being settled by an energetic class of merchants, and bids fair to become a substantial city in the near future. There are two newspaper published here, the Early Day and the Journal, which have a good circulation.
