JamcHon , Mo. , May 0 , 1001 Editor Republican : Thinking , per- chanoo , wo might intercut our OUH- ter county fnondn and noighborH , with an article comparing the ad vantages and diBadvantagcH of that country with this. Of courne , thirf will directly iutoront only thoHo that are diHaatinlied and are contemplat ing a oLange of location. Thirty- ( ivo years ago , when Missouri was comparatively new , wo oamo to Baton county without a dollar , and grow up with the country , as well an to help build up thu country. In 1890 we emigrated to Ouster county , Nebraska. VVo then saw the advantages Missouri had over that part of Nebraska ; and in thifi article we propose to show what those advantages tire , and w-ho they are for , At present wo are living at a way station , village of100 popula tion , on the Wabash railroad , in Davis county. With ono exception the businoBS of the town in owned and conducted by men that Bottled hero aa farmorn in thu 'r U'n , or by their aonp , and they scorn to have a firm grip on the business ; although they Hay they are not more thai making u living , they seem con tented. Ono of the loading businesses - nesses of the town that of pack ing and shipping butter and uggs is controlled by a Mr. titovoll whom they say began aH huxtor driving a pony team through the country , and now ho owns his own packing house a brick building 30x00 foot and employes about 15 to 20 handn packing and loading oart * , bouillon the hands and .tdams that haul from country villagoH. Hirt average daily 6gg pack for throe montba iias boon (1,000 dozen biiUer jBJvOut throe ear loads per wcok ; ono to two cart ) of chiokons. J Wo took a drive to the country a , fbw day ? ago , and wo could no help making a comparison , as our mind wont back to CutUer county farinn. Hero it is all fields am latien ; most of the road fences made of largo oak poxtH aud boards am wire. Many of the partition fences are the old worm rail with tin- corners full of blackberries ; and then each farm with UB largo hue housejiud big ri'd barn , aud an orchard or two. Some of the trcon , I am told , were planted before thrro waB a railroad weal of the Minnie. sippi river. Those farms are most ly farmed in tame hay and ( torn. If one wishes to rent any of the plow hud lie can gut it fn throe to four dollars per acre , providing ho can put up good Hoourity for the pay ; or , if you wish to buy ouo of IhcBO farms you can got it lor $50 to $100 per acre , owing to the lountiou or improvement ) * . It IH alHO quito intorcBting to aeo at any gathering of the people the Humor ous groy headed grandmothers and grandfatherH of 70 to 00 years of ago uome together and , greet each other with n hearty hand sh ko , and how are youons all today ? At various limes wheio thuru wore orowdn of people congregated wo tried to see if there was any difl'or- uicc in the looks , manners or styles of the young people to that of the young folks of the west , but they are all voting America ; so much HO , you would take thorn to bu at least full cousins to our westerners , Wo hoard some 3 ouug men the other daj comparing time to BOO who had earned the most this Hpring They were farm hands getting $20 per month , but had to IOOBO the wet days. During the months of March and April they had got pay for one-half Uino , and had to work in the mud most of that time. Wo never hoar a word about in * ducing immigration into the country. These old but rich farms are gradually being divided up among the children that have grown up on them. While the people hero are clever and know Low to ho sooiablo , yet , like everyone else , tuoy are ull try ing to add more to what they Jiavo already got , and that is business and now , dear reader , if an old timers experience is worth any. hing to you , I will give a little of niiio. When I wanted an equal chance with my follows , I wont to where the circumstances of the uajority of thorn was about the amo as my own ; and invariably where land is cheap , as it is in CUN- er and adjoining counties , is the ilaoo ( or young men and those of mall moans to make a homo for homBolveu. Without a doubt , in a very few years , real estate there will double in value. It is quite evident everywhere in these older settled fctalos that the poorer olasaes among the farmers and laborers are jetting too crowded , and are look- tig for lower rents and cheaper lauds , and are gradually moving woHtnurd where tin population is not so dense. As wo uro still inter ested'in Cttster county mid hope to abide there again , I remain as over , Yours truly , A. WALLAOK. Ityno. Ryuo , May lf , 1901. B. F , Empfiold has bought a now L. H.
