! I,1MIGRATIoS.-Mr. Trueb, who has for
some time past been operating for Messrs.
Thomas H. and William T. Atkinson, of
Johnson county, IN procuring emlgrants
for those gentlemen, is in our city. We
learn there is no difficulty in procuring
any number Of Industrious and worthy Ia
borers, if our farmers will but make an ef-
fort. We were shown letter from Mr..
Thomas r. Atkinson, speaking in the
highest terms OF the ones he now has. He
says he intends to cover his land with
them. We learn from Mr.. Trueb that he
has already 200 more selected for Mr.. At
hinson and Mr.. ". L. Dortch, and he in
lends going over for them within a few
weeks. In order to give ali interested an
opportunity OF knowing on what condition
these men can be obtained, Mr.. Trueb
proposes to meet as many farmers, as de
sires to do 50, to-day, at eleven o'clock, at
Mr.. ". r. divers office, where he will
give all necessary information il regard to
It.
There are two plans proposed. One is
to bring the men here, farmers agreeing
to pay them q certain amount per month !;
another is to sell them alternate sections
of land, giving them one, two or three
years to pay for it. We cannot too strongly
urge upon our farmers and land owners to
meet this proposition in the proper spirit.
Let every farmer, who wants reliable labor,
now come forward and make proposition
either to employ SO many at a stipulated
price, or else agree to sell them, at fair
price, alternate sections Of land in 40 or so
acre tracts.
Mr. Trueb can bring over two thousand
as easily as two hundred, and as he has to
go for the two hundred alluded to above,
such another opportunity Of getting them
may not again offer.

WILLIAMSON AND TARBoRO' RAILROAD
4 meeting of the stockholders Of this Road
was held at Jacksonville on Tuesday last,
in which ID large majority Of the stock was
represented.
After considerable discussion in regard
to the merits of the different routes pro-
posed, it was decided by a vote Of 81 to ST.
to locate the terminus of the road at Tar
Landing in IarborOugh, connecting
thence bv road through Town with the
present Depot of the Branch Road.
The advocates of this terminus contend
that by this arrangement large proper
ton of the River and Lower Country
freight will be secured to the ". Il L. Il.
r., which would otherwise be lost or
seek different means of outlet.
Resolutions were passed directing the
President and Chief Engineer to enter into
contracts for the whole route and push the
work to completion as rapidly as possible.
The estimates of the proposed route, as
reported by the Chief Engineer, Including
the bridge over the Tar river and COM
plete rolling stock for the road, amounted
to 1919, 600 in currency. This also embra-
ces the road contemplated from the Tar
Landing to the Depot of the Branch Road.
