SWISS EMIGRANTS In THE SOUTH.
And More Coming.

Messrs. j. 0ttcnheimer, Emigration
Agent for the Canadian Pacific, New
York; Charles I'M Oberstcg, head of the
emigration bureau of the banking house
ofZwilch enbart 4 Co., Basel, Switzerland ;
Col. John Frederick, editor Of the Amer
lean Swiss Gazette, and John N. Spaus, a
New York banker and broker, have been
visiting the Berns!ndt Swiss colony. in
Laurel, and the Ottenhcim colony, in Lin
coin cnunty. They reported to the Stan
ford lnterior-J ournal that they had found
the colonists doing well and were much
vleased with their surroundings, cspeci-
ally those of Ottenheim. In Laurel they
are handicapped with bad reads. "The
gentlemen say that Kentucky is specially
adaptcd to the Swiss. the climate and the
mountains reminding them OF their native
and. Editor Frederick is satisfied thai
the Swiss will make us the best popua-
ton. Their Government and ours is yer.
similar, and they much more easily asslm-
ilute with our people than do those from
monarchical countries. The party decid
I'd to mike some investments here, ane
tell immigrants that athey can find NJ
home equal to Kentucky"
