EDWARDS COUNTY, KANSAS. JANUARY II 1896

never was a howllng success as a
farmer, but il my observation goes for
anything there are as many prosperous
farmers in Edwards county as you
will find in anv county of the same
population, from the Missouri river to
the Pacific coast, and I venture to say
that the farmers of your county who
failed to take my advice SIX years ago
regret it to-day; and rs for the old
soldiers, my old comrades without
money, l would say, that it is not
good to transplant old trees in new
country.
God help the war-worn veteran,
Who's toiling for his bread;
The refugees CT other nations,
They all come in ahead
He is told he marched with sherman
From Atlanta to the sea;
Too old to do hard days work,
He is dismissed accordingly.
At my old tricks again, Mr.. Ed.)
But the people of Kansas are more
loyal to the old veteran than they are
in any other state or territory i'm the
Union. So to you, my old veteran
comrades, say if you are not hope
lessly in debt, and have home of
your own, stay there. That is what !
propose to do.
Mr.. Editor, wishing you and all my
old friends i'll Edwards county Il
Happy New Year, I remain
Yours truly.

CANNOT DELIVER TIE GOODS.

When the Republican party of Kan
sas went before the people in the
campaign of 1894, its appeals were
such as to touch the heart of store.
Its reasoning was peculiar. y Dem
ocratic national administration had
placed the country hors-de-combat, a
state populist administration had
..ruined the credit of the state" and
it was presumed that everywhere

lican party and exclaimed Il know

7he Sailor Boy sad gaaSee Giea.

Upon rOcH DeS{uo t00 sea
Where wild waves dash against the lee.
One morn were seated side by side
A sailor boy and his promised bride,
A brave and manly youth was he
And Just returned from OF the sea.
And she a flower of woman kind,
That's hard to equal OF to fnd.
No fairer maiden on the earth,
Than this sweet girl of Yankee birth.
The Sailor Boy to her did tell
How he ha loved her long and well.
And that he'd left the oceans tide
To come and claim his promised brides
Then looking IN her hazel eyes,
He listened to her low replies,
MINNIE:
They tell me, Harry, when You leave
Your native lend and me.
You soon fina many Rlrls as dear.
Far o'er the deep blue sea.
That when you're on the Spanish coast.
Beyond the rolling main.
You court and love as dearly then
The dark-eyed MAIDS of Spain.
And that you're just as gay and fond.
When leading in the dance.
The tall and queen y English girls.
Or merry maids of France.
That lovely girls of Eriu's Isle,
With eyes of ocean blue.
And Scottish bonnie lassies fair.
Or. make your heart untrue.
And that wherever you may land,
Upon foreign shore,
You find fair girls, to court and love,
Aud think Of me no more.
HARRY:
Ny darling girl. these tales are false.
Ny heart is tried and true;
And ev'ry dear iond wish and thought
Is anchored fast with you.
Tho ugh many foreign maids are fair,
No lass from Ger the sea,
Has ever charmed your Sailor Boy,
Or made Kim false to thee.
The English girls, are bright as pearls,
And 50 are Eiin's daughters;
With hearts SO trne, and eyes so blue.
Beyond the dark blue waters.
But none of these fair foreign maids,
With their black eyes or blue,
Nor Scottish bonnie lassies can
Match Yankee girls like you.
nd though I sometimes dance and srisilc,
When with the fair and gay,
But. oh. my heart more sadly pines
For Ou then far away.
r n,.l, bar,,s tb., took of thnf Won voyo
When on our native shore,
left you fOl Il foreign land
Perhaps 10 meet no more.
And here you see the tiny curl,
OF rich and soft brown hair;
Oh. have kept these precious gifts
With rond and miser care.
And when our gallant ship went down,
And wild waves swept her deck.
These were the only things saved
From off the sinking wreck.
And 90 you think that am false,
Dear Minnie, tell me true
Do you believe ever could
I love any girl but you2''
7 MINNIE:
No, Harry, DO not believe
The tales these landsmen tell:
Nor ever for u moment thought,
You did not love ME well.
| HARRY:
Then, let our marriage bells ring out
Sweet chimes Ger sea and land;
! And let to- rlorrow evening tiud
| Us joined i'll heart and hund.
