The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1884-09-20

in the volume of emigration west
ward, and thousands upon thous-
ands of sturdy men and women
have gone on through a territory
vastly superior to that in which
they finally located, with no more
care or observation en- route than
if in balloons and sailing through
clouds. They have gone on and
on, often far beyond available mar
kets, and out into the wild lands
with no company other than their
own frequently home-sick selves.
Others will follow, and the throng
will not perceptibly lessen for years
to come. Meantime not few of
those already settled are anything
but satished-the rigors of Sc
we're climate, the frequence of ter
rife storms, long hauls to market,
and other disadvantages naturally
creating desires to get back into a
country where these things do not
operate against general prosperity.

appeared in more propitious shape

grafton measures than now, and,

ton has among its principal stock,
holders and officials energetic and
far-seeing men who, realizing the
importance of the situation, have
associated themselves in the organ
ization of an emigration company
with other gentlemen of undoubted
prominence in business circles,
whose success in great commercial
undertakings stands as the strong
est possible guarantee of the future
of the new enterprise. 1t has al

laws Of the State of Maryland, and
