THE SETTLEMENT OF FORD

settlement here VIII be a valuable acquisi-
ton 70 Our population.
While no particular Inducements have
been held foi the settlement Of Ford cOun-
ty. it is one of the Irresistible DEGREES that
Immigration will find It's way, and ere two
years Ford county will be tolerablv well
settled with a first class population.
There are thousands of people in the
East vino will flood this State the coming
seasons: many OF them will come with
means and be at once prepared to turn the
virgin and productive soil of Kansas; thus
rendering barren waste and wilderness
into rich fields and cultivated groves: and
where now Is heard only the piercing
howl of the coyote will be heard the gen
tie low of the domestic kline.

and of ali lands lying north OF the Arkan-
sas river. in Ford county. eau III nowise

range. Common consent and natural
desire to consider aud protect the rights
of settler and ranger. would regulate and
govern this matter to the satisfaction aud
benefit of all concerned. Dodge City
wGnid in two WAYS derive a source of rev
eDue.
In This connection it is proper TO add
that we found. upon a recent visit to Mis-
souri,, a large number of Intelligent and
hard working citizens preparing for an
early migration TO Kansas. As Ford coun-
ty is special field for enterprise. many of
these Missourians, former residents OF
Eastern States, will seek to make their
homes here. There is a large. disconnected
element in Missouri that will find congeni-
atty. happiness and prosperity in Kansas.
and to each and all within the range and
scope of our acquaintance and influence,
we extend a special inSitation to come to
