Rensselaer Republican, Volume 27, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 August 1896 — The Garden South. [ARTICLE]

The Garden South.

The South is destined to be, and is rapidly becoming, the garden ot the United States. ' Hero life is easier to live, the rigorous winters do not eat up the fruits of the toil of summer, nor are the summers so trying as many northern people have supposed. “I used to live only half the year,” said a northern farmer recently settled in the south, “and I used to work all the time then. Now I work half ,the time and live all the year through.” § Home seekers’ excursion tickets will be sold over the Monon Route to nearly all the points in the south at the rate of one first class fare (one way); tickets good returning on any Tuesday or Friday within 31 days from date of sale. Liberal stop-overs are allowed. These excursions start (and tickets are sold) August 17, 18 and 31; September 1, 11, 15; October' 5, 6, 19 and 20. Call on W. 11. Beam, agent of the Monon Route for further information.
