more economical, and far better, where
the quantity of freight is large, to ship it
to New Orleans, and thence send it by

as before, with name and destination and
in addition, Care of Z. NJ Daily d Co.,

about the same thence to ST. Louis. In
surance the whole distance, % per cent.
! NoPLEDGE REQUIRED.-Theem emigrants
come under no written obligation OIL
pledge to the Company they leave here
free agents, and it is hoped they will con,
tinue so to be. Still, knowing that the
great object is to secure freedom for all,
it is presumed that no one will be so dis.
honest as to avail himself of the advanta,
ges and privileges that may be secured
through the Company's means, and then
war against its principles.
Neitheris it necessary for an individual
who purposes removing to Kansas, to be-
come a member of the Company, in or.
der to join one of its parties. Unles:
such an one has ample means, instead o.
subscribing for stock, let him husband
his means, in order to make them as avail
able as possible after he arrives at his
new abode.

,. Most articles not owned, had better not
be purchased prior to reaching st. Loui:
or Kansas city. Good clothing, suitet
for service, not show, such as is adapted
for this section of the country also bed
ding, not beds on accountof their bulk,
and perhaps some choice articles of fur
niture, had better be sent along; but mos
of the necessaries for housekeeping, ais
} agricultural implements, DC, can be OBJ
tanned on reasonable terms at the place
