County fair push urged by Cheyenne association leaders

The Sidney Telegraph urges Cheyenne county farmers and stockholders to unite for the Cheyenne County Agricultural Association.

Bayard Bridge Proposal Attracts County Support

Bayard leaders Stearns Winters Wisner James and Adamson visited the county seat to seek a new 1800 foot bridge over the North Platte costing 7500 dollars with a request for 2000 from the county. The board offered the existing 1000 dollars and urged a future 1000 extra from the coming year’s estimate. The townsfolk tout Bayard’s growth and irrigation, arguing the bridge will bolster trade with Alliance and sidestep costly fords to Sidney.
