Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 9, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1905 — SAYS ’TAINT SO. [ARTICLE]

SAYS ’TAINT SO.

It has been reported here that Mason Kenton and Charlie Zard, who located near Mitchell, So. Dak., this spring, are dissatisfied, homesick and want to get back to Jasper county. In refutation of this report Jasper Kenton showed The Democrat a letter from Mason written last Thursday, May 25, in which he states that none of them have been homesick or dissatisfied for a moment, but are well pleased with their change. Mason finished planting 150 acres of corn last Friday and has 140 acres of oats, which he says are “all there, none of them drowned out, and will hide a jack-rabbit.” He also has 140 acres of wheat and 40 acres of barley. Charlie Zard has 100 acres of corn planted and William Kenton has 200 acres. Mason ocoopies Jasper Kenton’s section of land near Artesian.
