The Shreveport U.a.) Ne,cs OF July Q, says:-
Several gentlemen from the State OF New York
are in Rome, Ga. investigating the agricultural
and mineral resources, with the intention OF
purchasing property. They are said to be solid men
and would be highly creditable addition to any
community. We want ''mOre OF the same sort" Of
Northern men to visit the South.
Ten wagon loads of immigrants from Iowa passed
through the city Topeka) says local paper, yester
day, for Shawnee county. Still they come.
The question is sometimes asked by un-
thinking persons. what becomes OF all the
emigrants who flood here in such immense
numbersa The following from the Topeka (Kansas
Real Estate Advertiser concerning the settlement
upon the bank OF che WaKarusa, about twelve miles
south Of Topeka and directly on the line of the
Atchllson Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad furnishes
some Information on this subject and also how the
growth OF the great West and the multiplication Of
large cities there accomplished. The writer says:
This Is no mere paper town, but Is In situation
which is destined to be OF great Importance to the
valley of the Wakarusa, as it is located on the rail-
road and also on the great travelled road to and
through Usage county at the point where they cross
That stream, and Will certainly pc the depot Tor all
the produce OF that region. Ii will be point of much
Importance to the neighboring farmers, as 1t Will
save them vast expense and delay In marketing
their produce. The situation or the town Is most
lovely; nestled in the edge OF the woods, upon the
banks of beautiful stream Astounding IN fish OF
every kind, with abundance of natural shade trees
thus saving years of preparation identifying the
homestead. 1t Is the beau Ideal OF place to make q
home all that can be desired. The railroad company
intend to put up fine passenger and freight house
at the town. Arrangements are about being
made to erect a first class hotel at the town
pany advertise for, and offer superior induce
mentS to- any person who VIII start o good
Elements the
OF the material interests OF the place. Preparations
being made for the erection OF neat METHODIST
church building and the brick are now IN process OF
manufacture for that purpose Negotiations are
also pending to have an iron bridge OF 100 feet span
thrown across the Wakarusa at the crossing OF the
public highway thus making 1t one OF the most i'm
portant points on that railroad. Mr.. King, gentle
man from Ohio, who has purchased considerable
property in and around Topeka, but who Is in
wise pecunary Interested In the town spoken or
has generously. agreed to donate 5000 toward the
The Commonwealth. OF the same city, says
There are certain facts which indicate conclusveiy
what the future of Topeka Is to be. 1t Is subject
OF everyday inquiry, win this city continue its
growth rapidly In the future as in the pastS Our
that the country in the region round about Is filling
up as rapidly and improving as last as the city.
That fact alone shows that the onward strides which
the city Is now making cannot be the result Of a
forced growth. The same paper sustains this
position by the following . statistics, -, given
Number BE- ' OF wagons sold 2i5. No fact could have
q more significant bearing upon the question of
material development. 1t represents at least 500
new farms opened in the county. 1t shows
clusvely that the growth Of the city is not fictitious,
not of a mushroom character, but reliable and sup
ported by the rapid advancement and cultivation
