IL ever the people OF this country had
reason 10 be thankful on account of good
crops and general improvement in business
they surely have reason to this year.
The people have but to look around them
and they will see Improvement on every
side, on every hand there are signs of in
creasing prosperity, trade fiourishes, labor
Is employed, farmers have a market for
their products and confidence Is again re-
stored. The people of Kansas have much
to be thankful for. the value of our prod
ucts for this year, 1897, will amount 10 over
s200, 100000 most OF our citizens will be able
to pay off their small debts, and there will
be over SO. COZ, 600 Of mortgage Indebtedness
paid of. many new homes are being built
and other improvements will be made.
According TO the report of the bank COM
missioner for Kansas. the total deposits in
all banks of this state for the list of Octo-
Der. 1887. amount TO $40 $50 2s7 and 1t is per-
fectly safe TO say that there is today in this
state over $40 per capita In circulation.
The gentlemen who few years ago said
that our farms would not sell for enough
10 pay off the mortgages are now declaring
they never said II.
The people of Kansas are thankful for
the splendid yield OF her fertile SOIL the
good prices they have received for their
products, the improved condition of all
kinds of business, and the bright outlook
for the future.
