Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1875-02-19

The people Of Texas have long been
anxious 10 secure an extensive lmm-
grafton of white laborers, as negro la
Dor, since the colorcl men have
taken to politics, has yearly become
less and less satisfactory; but many OF
this class who would gladly try their
fortune in that State are unable to bear
the expense of the journey. The peo-
pie along the line Of the International
anc. Great Northern Railroad, aided
bv the railroad company, have under
taken the work Of promoting such i'm
migration. The different counties have
each appointed q delegate to visit the
Southeastern States, where they may
reasonably expect to find people who
are not only desirous of migrating but
are likewise familiar with the cultiva-
ton Of Southern crops and accustomed
to Southern habits of living. 1t is pro-
posed to make contracts with these
people, supplying them with advances
Of money when necessary, and by this
means it is expected that thousands OF
good white laborers will be introduced
into the richest cotton-growiny region
Of Texas in time to begin the work Of
putting in the crop in January.

of was a soldier Of Stonewall jackson,
who saw somewhere how valuable are
sheep for renoyating worn out land,
and after the cruel war was ever, he
went home 10 his poor farm, and
bought thirteen ewes - all that
fortunately, he was able to buy. lie
nut them in small field of br!ars and
weeds, which they destroyed. Then
he fed them on bran and meal IN the
winter, and in the spring he had thlr-
teen fine lambs. Saving the manure,
lie planted the old briar patch with
corn and harvested 4 fine crop. All
his spare time was devoted to caring
for the sheep, The next spring he
mad more lambs; lie WAS able to plant
more corn; then came more lambs,
then he sowel clover and grew turnips;
aud now, to-day, as result OF such
small beginnings, he has several
hundred fine young sheep, free from
disease, bringing him = ool a year,

fertile. and lie is a rich mau. We
