Aside from its business prosperity |
Harper contains a class of people that |
have the social and business traits well |
developed and nicely balanced, many |
OF them coming fran the far eastern |
and not few from the southern |
states. Kentucky furnishing the larg-
est number from the south. Pretty |
women are Il leading feature here,
and there are lots of them, and we
know of no town in the state of this |
same size that has half as many This
is accounted for quite easily; because
of the many people from the south
and east having settled here, pretty
women being the rule aud not the ex-
ception in those states.
Harper has a population OF nearly
1000, and . surrounding country with
the richest soil and some of
the finest farms in southwest
| Kansas. The citizens have also shown
much taste and neatness in the ar
| engagements and surrounding of their
homes. Many trees have been planted
and other evidences of good taste can
be seen on every hand. \ direct rail-
road connection with Wichita is very
much needed and desired. and the peo-
| pie are ready 10 subscribe very libcr-
| ally towards building such Il line
The road they want through Wichita
would shorten by from thirty TO sixty
miles the distance from Harper to
Kansas CITY or St. Louis, besides ell
abiing them TO buy their goods in
Wichita without being subject to Il
transfer, aS they are now, a very i'm
portant consideration for Wichita
merchants, who should see that this
road is constructed.
