Massachusetts, families sprung from the same
stock and bearing the same patronymic, are
more numerous than In any other part Of the
republic Such families abound In Fall River
more than, probably, in any other city or town
In the section. Fall River has population OF
about $4,000, but out OF this $1,000 are opera
tives, and some 10000 more are either foreign
ers Or OF foreign extraction. Not more than
10000 ere what we call Anglo-Sax0ns for lack
OF better term. They are, at least, 80 far as
may be, OF pure American strain. Or the 90
