The Grit-AdvOcsts gave . detailed &c
count Of sed9vick and the surround
ing country, the edition was an eiab-
crate prOtrait Of our county, and the
cities in it. To day, we are more firmly
convinced than ever, OF the great ss-
sets that nature gave to our county,
and sedgwick particularly. We believe
that the future Of Sedgwick is now on
its way, partly due to the fact OF the
prOgressiveness of its business houses,
and the stability OF the farmers, who
are really the backbone of an agri-
cultural community. The fact which
impresses the beholder, who for tue
first time sees the grand vast area
spreading out before him, is, that
this indeed is Goods Country"
Nowhere, Ia the history OF advanced
civilization, has state gained the
we'll earned reward AS the state OF
Colorado. And here, right in the
midst of US is the secret OF that sue
cess, with Sedgwick County playing
an important role. Backed by busi-
ness men of keen perception, with
city of marked improvements, and
steadily advancing until she has
reached far beyond the door knocking
period, We stop for moment in our
lsbors, to look about and see what has
been accomplished by mans handi-
work. We find that man has built up
schools. railroads, commercial ware
houses, titled the rich golden land
that rolls form underneath the plow,
in the homes that dot the landsca pc,
far better picture than an artist can
draw or paint, and in fact, on every
hand, we find traces Of the work of
man, who has increased and enchanc-
ed, the value of the choice blessings
that God has bestowed upon Sedgwick
County. And Sedgwick herself has
reaped some of the fruits of these
blessings. Situated an level plateau
where the clear ratified air is unmo-
Tested with cityis dense i'll smelling
smoke, with its banks, business firms,
hotel, lumber yards, paved sidewalks,
it is no wonder that Sedgwick is sure
ly forging ahead that will place new
lsurels upon her infant brow. But
coming back to the county itself.
Here is county that offers invest
ment on safe lines, county with great
opportunities opening up to the trade,
county that is now spoken Of in
Colorado with greater esteem than
ever before The natural resources of
sedgwick County are listed with the
Department at Washington, and for a
good purpose. The municipal condi-
tions governing our various cities in
the county are on par with some of
our larger cities, and in many cases,
we far excel them, due to the earnest
desire Of each citizen TO advance and
protect all interests conferred in his
home town and county. The sugar
beet industry, touched upon elsewhere,
will be leading and important factor
In the future development 10 the great
er industry Of Greater Seds wick
County. To describe more fully the
many features that 60 to make up this
great county on Its agriculture pur
suits, would dll volum 8, 60 suffice it
to say, that each and oil of US, should
see to it, that our county never lacks
home praise. This is big country
where big things are done by big men.
The country is one vast treasure chest
for and to the man who wishes honest
ly to seek home where honest toll will
be productive Of that sort of reward
that makes it doubly agreeable to lab
or. So we say, in conclusion, honor to
a Greater Sedgwick County,
