The l.. n n. Railroad, through the
General Passenger and Ticket Agent,

services of Rev. f., l.. Braun, of the
Lutheran Mission here, on and after

that will settle OH the line of that
road. lie has TO look after the tenn.
poral and spiritual welfare of the i'm
migrants, has to preach to them, adj
wise and assist them in the choice and
purchase of land, lest they might fall
in the hands of landsharks and be-
come victims of inscriptions men.
The position of Rev. Mr.. Braun will
be responsible, but also very bencf-

try. The railroad did a very wise
step to provide for the immigrants,
for the better the immigrants are
protected against swindle, the larger
the infuX of immigrants will become,
and the more the tide of immigration
will turn to tins country, and aid to
develop lis great natural resources.

was thoughtful production and was
delivered in mastery style. 1t
