The Columbus journal., 1881-05-04

The Lincoln Journal has the fol-
lowing interesting statement:
In conversing yesterday with a
very intelligent gentleman from
Allegheny county, Pa, who is west
for the first time, he remarked that
he had no conception of the mag
nificence of this country. That he
had read and heard much concern
ing Nebraska, and especially that
portion contiguous to Lincoln; but
he had no idea the half he had read
about it was true; but now, after
spending two days in and about the
city, he was prepared to believe al
most anything that might be said of
the country. He left home sick, and
grew much worse on the road, but
two days spent in Lincoln riding
and walking about the city, put new
life into him, and he now felt better
than he had for years. He is the
father of three boys and two girls,
and has written them to prepare to
pull up stakes and come to Nebras-
ka. His farm OF forty-two acres i'm
Pennsylvania, can be cashed for
about $4,000, and with this amount
he can purchase and stock q good
farm for each of the boys and have
a thousand or two dollars left for
the girls. He says that if his neigh
boys back in the Keystone State
could see what he had seen in the
past few days, the county would
soon be !depopulated.
