From 1880 to 1890 the State of Kan.
sas enjoyed continuous boom. Its
population increased at a great rate
and it was confidently predicted that
Kansas would soon become one of the
wealthiest and most populous States
OF the West. The history of Kansas
for the past five years presents sad
commentary on these high expecta.
tions. 1t is estimated that the popu-
lation is fully 100. 200 less now than it
was when the census of 1890 was taken,
and the exodus continues. A large
part of the State is a semi arid region
and utterly unreliable for agricultural
purposes. Crops there have been al
most total failure in two of the last
five years. Thousands of Kansas far
mers moved last year to more favorable
regions and thousands more are pre-
pairing to leave. The Atlanta Journal
looks for a very large movement Of
farmers from Kansas and other parts
of the Northwest to Georgia. Good
lands can be had in this State at low
prices and the Seasons" never fail.
There is always a sure return for in.
telligent and industrious effort. 1t is
a great thing for people who have en-.
dured the hardships of the Northwest
to find themselves in land where ex.
tremes CT heat and cold are unknown,
where neither blizzards nor droughts
do come and where all the conditions
cf life are pleasant

An indispensable feature of all these
exercises was the music, under the di-
rectiou of the peerless music teacher,
Mrs. Rosa X. Jones. At no time has
the music been surpassed in excellence.
The Hartshorn Chorus consists of some
fine voices and they sang with a degree
of harmony, accuracy and spirit that
was most pleasing. A Medley, arrang-
ed by Mrs. Jones, was highly appreci-

plause, with which it was greeted.
Too much praise cannot be given to

doing for young women, and cOnse-
