R., is located nearly in the geographical center of the county on Elk Creek.  The city is situated in a bend of the creek, which is skirted by a thick growth of heavy timber, which in summer lends a surpassing beauty to the scenery.  The diversified surface gives the place a perfect, natural drainage system, and the water is pure and clear.  Among some of the prominent features of the place are the Nelson Brick Works, with a capacity to turn out 300,000 brick at one time, a fence factory, two banks, the First National, with a capital of $75,000, and the Commercial, capital $25,000, a creamery, etc.  A two story brick block has been erected within the past year, at a cost of $25,000, and a new court house is being built to cost $35,000.  The public schools are well graded, and have a well selected course of studies.  The present population is 1,400.  There are six church organizations, Presbyterian, Baptist, Christian, Methodist Episcopal Evangelical and Catholic.  The news papers are the Nelson Gazette and the Nuckolls County Herald.

Superior is an important railway town with a population of 1,600, located in the southern part of Nuckolls county, near the Kansas line, and 14 miles from Nelson, the county seat.  The Republican Valley and Superior & Edgar branches of the B. & M. R. R., the Superior & Seward branch
of the F. E. & M. V. R. R., and the Republican Valley branch of the M. P. Ry. center here.  It is situated in a healthful position on a fine plateau which slopes gradually southward to, and fronting upon, the great Republican valley.  Excellent drainage and a good water works system contribute to the desirableness of the city as a place of residence. Good brick business blocks give the town a substantial appearance.  Three banks, two hotels, a flour mill, a grain elevator, an opera house, a lumber yard, implement houses, a good number of stores and workshops and two newspapers, the Superior Times and the Journal.  All do their share to attract business from the surrounding rich agricultural and stock raising region.
