National bank to talk to Mr. Parker, tho president. After tct.tng him that I
was nfriiid to bring my family down hero for foar wo could not make a living,
ho laughed at me, and told mo that poor folks was what the country needed.

willing to work could nuiko a living and more too. I was only partly con

Kood luu.se and other improvements, and givo me the option to buy it at tho

I decided to try it.
I oulvituted only 80 acres of land, having to do all the work myself. 1 made
the rent and a living, and beforo my time was up I had tradod my contract to
Mr. J. i Jowoll for '200 acres and HQQ in money.
Tho ulvnuce in tho selling prico of laud was just what I made by this trade.
I inn now living on my '2(0 acre farm, which I own clear of debt. It is just as
good as land that soils for $lf0 per acre in Indiana, and this laud cost me noth
