Fast nearing our homes and our waning
wintrv fire-hearths is beautiful, charming,
and ever welcomed springtime, the hap
piest season of the year
For talk Of your mound. and 3our vallsya
The salubrious bent OF the air;
There + nothing in stock or IN trade Ike
The health giving breee7e from our vale.
Yes, lovely spring will soon be upon us
with its charms and it's graces to give new
life to the honest and industrious tiller Of
the soil, who is 90 soon to ruff.e with his
plow the long lain and placid bosom OF
mother earth. The bountifnl harvest OF
the past year has renewed his energy and
gives him an impetus that amounts to =
realization of the happiest result OF his
efforts for the year '93.
From every home comes the rejoicing
sentiment expressed, of cOntentment and
buoyant hopes for the future in south
western Kansas, which amounts to an Ell
couraging solace to every soul; repeating
with the poet, There is no place on earth
that I love more sincerely"
On our way here, few days since, and
in company with bevy of friends, one
was heard to remark, who had come her.
in quest of health: 'abOve all things IL
this wide world, give Inc the free. pure
and bracing air of southwest Kansas.
Said he: 81 have been east, not, however,
outside of her own boundaries, still can
safely say, that the atmosphere is not so
whoIesomely grand as it is here with us"
To enjoy health properly, and what far
more, to possess 1t, one must breathe Al
pure air, free from all defilement; ani
this we have here. OF all the elimination
and recriminatiOn cast upon Kansas, o.
whatever kind, or from whichever source.
no one has ever yet attempted to inclct
our climate for not being vigorously
healthful. The meridian center OF our
grand realm, Kansas also holds the me-
ridian of temperature, it going to neitfe.
