whole days sunlight. Today is about
the best of the lot and nothing to brag
Onseither. Four of us droYe to town
this morning in wagon with two large
fine horses and we had TO let them rest
several times and the distance is less
than three miles. would like for some
of the Kansas people TO be here just to
see what the people mere have to go
through about once year. The hills
look higher, the creeks deeper and the
mud sitter than they were % years
ago. l find great many who are want
ing to try our country aud think can
see where they are right. 1 know Of
renters here who pay as high as 81 per
acre rent and have had farms pointed
out to me, where the entire crop Of a
season failed to pay the rent. The
cases mentioned are extremes. Seven
dollars is not the average rent. Meth
er is it the average tor the crops to fail
to pay the rent. Yet both have their
victims and hold onto them. I have
had to talk Kansas a great deal and
don't have to hunt for men to talk to
me since 1t has become generally known
that l am here. They hunt me up and
am satisfied that the coming season
will see good many people from this
part Of Illinois looking for homes in
Kansas. They all admit that Kansas
is coming to the front and is not going
to follow the older and weather
states much longer but Will get seat
right up in the front of the procession,
and let the older states follow Kansas.
Politically l find the republicans
scrapping and pulling hair and the
