wENoSA.-An Eastern Emigrant Association
DESTROYS of securing homes for themselves and
families, have located on the head waters Of Ce-
dar creek, on the California road from Palermo
AMI s.. Joseph to MarysVille, seven miles from
Iowa Point, in eoantry Of unsurpassed fertility,
Handy University and the town Of Wenona.
The agents OF the Association, assisted By
those most familiar with the Territory, have Sc
lccted the present site, az the proposed crossing
Of the ST. Joseph, Palermo and Marysvilie, and
st. Joseph and Nebraska City Railroads, as pos
Ssssing the especial advantages required by the
Association for which they are acting.
1leSC were IN AQulLlOu W tut CHIEF FeQuislto
of dry, healthy climate, rolling prairie coun-
try, abundance OF fuel, nearness to markets, ex-
ceIlence of soil, eheapness Of lands, railroad
connections, &C.
The soil and climate Of Northern Kansas need
no words.of eommendation. Indications Of coal
have been found adjoining the town site, where
there is also an excellent quarry Of stone, and
the supply at the coal bank within three miles
IS not only ample, but apparently inexhszstible
Considerable bodies Of timber are found on &C.
dar creek and Wolfe river, three ai.es on either
side, while there are abundant supplies Of tim
/ Der on the Missouri river within seven miles.
With the ST. Joseph, Palermo and MarySville
Railroad chartered and all the stock taken, the
ST. Joseph and Nebraska City Railroad surveyed,
the rapid completion Of the Hannibal and St.
Joseph Railroad, and the great highway Of the
Missouri, a distance Of only seven miles, we
confidently recommend to our neighbors and
friends this point as possessing all the Ndyanta-
ges that can be reasonably expected in new
country, with many Of the eonveniences Of the
cider States.
Churches and schools, the indispensable re-
quisites of intelligent emigration have not been
neglected, Liberal provisions have been made
for the former, whilst in addition to ten acres
set Iside for the use and location Of HANDY
University, sufficient amount has beea appropri.
ated for the construction Of suitable buildings.
Contracts are already made for enclosing and
ornamenting with evergreens and shrubbery,
whist temporary but comfortable buildings will
be erected the present season, until the Univer-
sity can be incorporated and endowed with
permanent fund.
Though the especial object Of our Association
is to surround OURSELVES With cur ueighbors and
friends, kindred in tastes anil afiRities, We do
not propose TO exclude any moral well disposed
citizen who would enjoy the advantages Of our
locality. To all such Of our felow-citizens lib
eral Inducements in the way Of lots will be Of
fered, whilst to the farmer or agriculturist faciI
tiles win be offered by the resident proprietors
to secure presumption claims, many Of which
are still vacant in the neighborhood.
That Northern Kansas offers the only aTaila-
bic inducement to "pre-emption settlers" IS
evident from the fact that the tide Of emigration
following the Missouri River, has sought the
country south Of the Kansas river, and the coun-
try in the immediate vicinity Of Wenona COM
prises tire finest bodies of pre-emptable lands in
the Territory.
That We shall make New York or Chicago,
we do not pretend, nor do we aim at a transient
speculation By the sale Of lots, but whilst we ex
pect a remuneration for our investment of CAPT.
tai and labor, VIC look for it more in the en-
HANGED value Of our farms and improvements
than in any temporary scheme Of personal profit.
