JENNINGS COUNTY LETTER.

North Vernon, Ind., Jan. 28, 1903, Ed. Democrat: Having got my affairs about straightened up and having a little time to spare, I will try to write a few lines for the benefit of my friends and acquaintencrs and the readers of your valuable paper. To be brief, will say that we are weH pleased with this country, which is potting it lightly. We are better satisfied than I thought we would be. Everything is flourishing here, the farmers have their barns and bins well filled,and why not be hippy? I want to reach the renter and the man with small means, who wants to get a home. I can say to him there is no place better than here. The average yield on timothy hivy as taken from reports from all over the country, is tons per acre; clover bay 1%; Wheat 20 bushels; oats 35 bushels; corn 40 busheli: and this is a good stock country. Swine are at hefne here; there is plenty of beach and oak mast here and with a little com you can make as good meat as in Jasper or Benton. This count) is near good markets being 65 miles from Cincinnati and 60 miles from Indianapolis;, and situated in the very center is North-Vernon, a thriving little city of 4,000 people. Il has three rid roads and seven factories —with two more ill sight good roads and schools. I will sav to my friends that they .ire welcome to my home and 1 will do all I can to show them the country, should they come. They will be at no expense to go about alter they are here. i My object in writing this letter is to get northern men to settle here. I do not want to boast, but in my time I have been able to visit 17 different states, at various times, and I believe this to be the cheapest land at the price in America to-day, improvements and everything considered. I will conclude by saying that The Democrat seems like an old friend had come when it arrives. Let the good work go on. I remain, Respectfully

yours,
