1t has been intimated by at least one or
two of our most prominent citizens that
We as county should take some steps
which would lead to the erection of an
emigration house, to be used temporarily
by incoming emigrants who are accom-.
panied by their families. and who are not
able to pay local rates at our excellent
hotels. We regard the scheme as very
feasible one, indeed, and give it as our
opinion that structure Of some kind for
their benefit should be erected at once.
Such building would have an attractive
tendency, and without doubt, pay tho
county large percentage on the invest

shall be delighted to hear from any one
who may feel an interest in the matter.
