Rensselaer Republican, Volume 25, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 July 1893 — LETTER FROM KANSAS. [ARTICLE]

LETTER FROM KANSAS.

Editor Republican, your paper which finds us every week, and to a family of five persons, who read the paper and are living over 600 miles away from old friends and acquaintances it is a pleasure to bear from home through a paper printed and edited and mailed promptly §ncl weekly by those who know the wants and pleasure of the people. If you have space to spare please tell through your paper to our friends that R. B. Wilson and family are safe in Kansas, near the northwest center of the state, in good health and thankful that the country is blessed with plenty of rain since June 25th. Wheat is almost a failure in this section, oats a total failure, though the rains may help the oats some yet. Corn is clean, much of it planted late up to June 25th, yet nearly one half looks well. Grass has hardly been equal to the needs of stock, now it will be plenty. Yes, Kansas people can live yet. There is more old corn and wheat in cribs in Osborne Co. to-day than I eversaw in old Jasper at this season of the year, yet men hold a grip on it, at 27 to 32 cents per bushel, fearing drouth and hot winds. Times here have become dull on account of the long drouth, since June in 1892, when it was too wet.

Thia country is healthy and productive. It needs people to come here to stay, and to live; people who do not go about grumbling and complaining and hunting easy places and meddling with other people’s business, to get some unjust advantages. We need people who will put much of the valleys and draws, where the land is moist, in mapel, ash and gray willow and other timber. Bnt too many think more of church and politics and how to live in some imaginary way, trying to live in lieaven here, where God pnt us, only to try us to see if we were capable of improvement, to see if we would strive to better our own condition and beautify his land, so his coming generation would see the benefit of his people who had lived before them. How slow civilization, morality, industry and temperance do seem to develop in mankind. It seems that money and financiers hold nations by lirja.iieial transactions for speculations principally, and people seek lieaven through imagination And ignorance, and lhe leadership of men as low as the lowest darkness in hell, men who wear ping hats and broad cloth and smoke tobacco and deceive poor women. Yours Respectfully,

R B. WILSON.

Osborne, Kans.
