COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS.
In order that great good may be accom-
plisned in this immigration movement,
and 10 the end that every section Of the
state of Texas may be fully aud fairly
repre- sented, we recommend thai every
county in the state OF Texas
at once organize an immigration
society or committee, and in our
judgment it will be better for each pre-
cinct, town or city organizatio also to
constitute, should it see flt, a part of the
county organization. We suggest that
the precinct, town, city and county when
organized commence actively at once
the work Of inducing emigrants to come
to our state.
