Letter from an Old Resident
Mr. Allen Addy an old Pike countain, send the following letter, telling of his visit with a couple of other Pike Countains out in Kansas:
Jan 23, 1908.
Meriden, Kansas
To: Editor Democrat:,
Please find enclosed one dollar for a year's subscription to your paper. My home was formerly in Ohio and I have just returned from a visit with Wilson Andserson and George Gardner, old residents of Pike County. Mr. Gardner sold his farm and is going to Arkansas to locate. He received $1.73 per acre for his farm here. Nancy Gardner, his sister, is very poorly.
George will start his goods at once, but he will not go at present on account of his sister's illness. I thought this would be interesting to many of you Pike County readers as Mr. Gardner and Mr. Anderson are well known in there.
Res'py,
Allen Addy
