SALINE COUNTY, KANSAS.
is at this time beautiful beyond
comparison. She has now don
ned the habiliaments Of spring.
Her groves, her orchards, her
rolling Prairies are made grand
with natures covering. The
thousands Of farms dotting her
valleys and slopes exhibit the
prosperity Of the people to reple-
ton. The many herds Of cattle
which daily gather in her wales
attest a solidity Of her future per-
manence. Her numberless we'll
tiled acres and finely cultivated
fields manifest in meaning terms
the progress that has been attained
through well-diTected efforts Of
her intelligent People-an exem-
pli6cation Of a love Of the beauti-
full, Of home, and that the purpose
Of those who have made Saline
county what she is has been
crowned in gaining for themselves
a competence. How well they
have succeeded, the scene Of con-
lentment and prosperity spreading
itself in panoramic view IS proof
convincing.
Saline county embraces one OF
the handsomest bodies Of land to
be seen anywhere. In size, she IS
"a bP 80 miles, and for agrieultur-
al ane stock-raising purposes is
not to be excelled. Three main
streams 1.-THE Smoky Hill. Saline
and Solomon riversl, as well as
several creeks, course through her
territory in either part. furnishing
a plenty Of good and living water.
The valleys along these water
courses are broad, exceeding in
some instances ten miles in width.
The uplands rise gently to a mod
crate eminence back from the
streams and both the uplands and
low lands furnish an area Of great
fertility. Scarcely a foot Of waste
land exists in the county. The
soil is rich, deep and enduring.
The muni6cent school system Of
Kansas has been taken advantage
Of by the whole people % the
county, and we have to-day
eighty-Odd organized school dis
tricts, in all Of which, with per-
haps a half-dozen exceptions,
school buildings Of a superior
class have been constructed. Il
has been a Characteristic trait Of
our people to attend primarily to
the educational interests Of the
community and thus leave to their
children legacy far grandeE than
dollars and cents.
For a trade mart the county IS
'ery fortunately provided. She
has several towns Of greater or
less note, but her main town is
