KANSAS THE ONLY PLACE
Letter From Tennessee Shows Bad Conditions There
"Mr. R. P. Dodds of this city, yesterday received a letter from his brother, William Dodds, a prominent merchant at Coffee Landing, Tenn., which serves to illustrate that Kansas is blessed of heaven this year. Mr. Dodds writes that everything down there is drowned out. The wheat stand was beautiful, but farmers could not save it. The corn looks fine, but the Tennessee river will take it. It has been raining for forty days. Rivers and tributaries are out of their banks. These has not been a chance to get ten days work in the field in the last two months. Mr. Dodds says that It is the gloomiest prospect he has ever seen in that section."
