Good sermon in the Okarche Times
people are very apt to be dissatishec

il no exception. We suggest that those
who came here with little or none of thi:
worlds goods would carefully estimate
what they would have been worth had
| thew remained where they were, and com
| pare with their present possessions. We
| take the liberty to cite the case of s. l.
| Lilly as an illustration He came here
! in 1889 with $500 and no other property
| He purchased two cows among the othei
| investments. but had to sell one to pur-
| chase seed wheat During the winter ne
| hauled wood twenty-five miles; worked
II into stove wood and sold it in King
| fisher for $50 a load in exchange FOL
| groceries He now has $50 acres of gooc
| land, average improvements, fifteen cat
tie. six horses, good supply of machinery
wagons harness. etc, is out of debt, anc
| about 500 ahead. In 1896 he got the sell
ing out fever and would have taken les
for his entire outfit than his wheat croT
of 1897 sold for This is only one case II
