INDUCEMENTS TO IMMIGRANTS.
Lafayette Gazette: AS far as Lafay-
cite is concerned it would not be
much OF task to induce many of
those solid business men of the north
and west, to come and see us: by sim
ply stating the facts, and nothing but
the plain facts in regard to cur coun-
try-its soft and beautiful climate.
the fertility of its soil, the opportuni-
ties for the establishment of manufac-
tories and the certain profit following
Its operation, the kindness and hospi-
tallty of its people, school and church
iacl lfties, and there cannot be anv
doubt that many would be glad to
leave their cold, bleak and cyclonic
country and come and make their per-
manent home in this favored land of
perpetual spring and sunshine.
IN REGARD TO IMMIGRATION.
Morgan City Advocate: Fortunately
the condition of things in this section
OF Louisiana precludes ire possibility
of any undesirable settlers making
their homes among us. Land capa-
ble Of being cultivated is, as rule,
only within the reach of farmers who
possess some quantity'of ready money,
and who are seeking permanent homes.
To these people Louisiana affords
every inducement. The soil is capa-
bio of the highest cultivation, and the
product depends entirely upon the
energy and discrimination of the far
NOR and to the capable tilier and prac.
tical husbandman the yield, no matter
WHIST the crop may be, is sufficiently
abundant to insure him a magnificent
reward for his labor. In connection
with the convention, it were well to
make the cost Of the land an impor-
tant item, to be considered we'll, in
order that wOuld-be settlers labor un-
der no misapprehension, and when
they do come, come fully prepared to
purchase the land needed, which we
tceI bound to remark will, in st. Mary
Sssfount to Considerable.
THE IMMIGRATION NEEDED.
Farmerville Gazette: We need a de-
sirable kind Of immigration to help in
the development of the resources of
the parish, but they cannot be obtain
ed through the instrumentalities of
speech convention. A more
practical method should he adopted.
The nature and character of the soil.
the price Of lands, the healtllfulness.
of the climate, the varieties and abun-
dance of timber, different kinds of
crops that can be raised here and the
excellent fruit that grows in the Or
chards, should be advertised in the.
sections where people live who are
anxious to find new homes. Circulars
and newspapers containing accounts,
Of our parish and it's manifold resouu-
ces, scattered among the farming peo-
pie Of Alabama, Georgia, South and
North Carolina, will add to its wealth.
Such a plan will not be expensive,
but will result in much practical good
to our favored section.
