Newsy Notes from Kansas.
Great Bend, Kan., Aug. 22, 1908.
Mr. Isaac T. Brown, Columbus, Ind.:
Dear Sir:
We thought a few lines from the Sunflower state might interest our relatives and friends In Bartholomew county. We have had from one to four inches of rainfall per week since the first of May. Crops are fine. All we know of the panic is reading about it in the newspapers and magazines. Everybody seems prosperous and happy out here. Kansas is coming to the front.
William Ward says to tell those Hoosiers we will have to throw our corn in the wagon lengthwise this year. We are putting out 400 acres of wheat this year and have sixty acres of fine corn.
I just returned home from the St. Rose hospital last Saturday after undergoing an operation for acute appendicitis.
Mrs. Daniel Keller Is in poor health.
Chris E. Truex, of Prescott, Ariz. sails from Montreal September 26 for Liverpool, via London, to Paris.
Colonel Ward and family and H.J. Ward and family reached Great Bend recently to make this their future home. All parties mentioned were former Bartholomew county residents.
