The previous f.ill I had heen down and looked over tho country, and was Stirling back witliouL buying, as I whs afraid to rik my Id t It) mst cirg where I feared 1 might lose it. A i'riwiitl took me to the Western Niithu il bank to talk to Mr. Parker, the president. After telling him that I was swraid to bring my family down hero for fear wo could not make a living, hohughod at me, and told mo that poor folks was what the country needed. That f dk'j did not stay poor long in this country; that there were no poor farm-- in the Panhandle, and Mt:it whon the churches would tako up collect iona fir tha poor it was bar J work to ilnd auyoue to take it. That anyon willing to work could mako a living and more too. 1 was only partly ecu vmo.i, hut when Mr. Parker offered o rent me a good section of land with a ood h uso and other improvements, and give mo tho option to buy it at the end of tho year by making a small cash payment and tho balance on longtime, 1 docil 1 to try it.

It is just as good u.s hind that sells for $150 per acre in Indiana, and this land cost me noth ing e ;vpt my agreeing to try tho Panhandle. I think I could sell my laud for F20 an aero but don't want to, as I am making a good liviiii and am well pleased. Poo' people need not fear to come here.
