Harland County Business (town) listings Alma Alma, the county seat of Harlan county, is in the Republican Valley division of the B. & M. R. R. and is the western terminus of the Alma branch of the U. P. Ry., system.  The town is situated in the beautiful Republican Valley near the Republican river.  Its growth has been rapid and of the most substantial character. There is a number of fine brick business blocks.  A handsome brick courthouse and an opera house, with a seating capacity of 700, are among the improvements.  The banking business of Alma is conducted by the Bank of Alma, First National and the Valley Bank, with an aggregate capital of $101,000.  The hotel accommodations are provided by the Burr Hotel, Shaffer & Hamlin, proprietors, and the Shaffer House. The Valley Beacon, edited by Mrs. M.R. Morgan, the Harland County Times, W.R. Helvie, proprietor, and the Alma Weekly Tribune, are the literary lights of this section of country.  The religious denominations are well represented--the churches are Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Evangelical and Free Methodist. Population, 2,000... Verbryck J A, millinery...
