soANDINAvIANs IN THE SOUTH.

sCANDINAvIANs IN THE SOUTH. Southern Field. .Yir .a.
 The~opnlon of many that it is too hot down south is decidedly erroneous. All we ask is, Come and see; give the coun- try 2 thorough test, and you will be sat- isiied that the climate of the country along the Southern railway is unsur- passed.
 Years ago the people emigrating to the United States from the Scandinavian countries of Europe. as a general rule, lo- cated in the north and northwest The forerunners, or first settlers, happened to go there and the others followed. Now, this has been changed and the future will see thousands of that frugal people finding homes in the south During the past eighteen months over 1000 Scandi- navans have purchased farms on the southern railway in-the state of Alabama and we expect that fully 5000 more will follow their example during the next eighteen months. ,
 Recently we interviewed several of those who have located, and found to a man they are pleased with the climate. They find that the thermometer ranges higher during the summer in Wisconsin, Minnesota. Nebraska, Iowa. Illinois and the Dakotas, than in Alabama, where they have located i,.
 When people urge that otis too hot down south,' it can be safely state that they are not posted-haye been misin- fOrmed-and the only suggestion we make Is, Visit the south in the summer, test it thoroughly and be convinced that it is the most favorable climate in the United States .. 4

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There Is no let-up to the mental suffering day or night Sleep is almost impossible and under such strain men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness, until it was question whether he had not better take dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medt- cines that not only completely rsetored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when 1 say free, I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rience
 am not philanthropist, nor dc pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures or weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how l can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the information, but send for it and learn that there are a few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to get they are worth a fortune to some men, and mean a lifetime of happiness to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 1S1, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the informa- tion will be mailed in plain sealed en- velope. S30-Su&Wed-tf

Many years ago one could have gone out within a few miles of such cities as Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, Winnipeg and see acres of prairie land unoccupied, and we'll asked twill these lands ever be taken up, improved and furnish homes for peop1e?" Today we find these sec tions improved and the habitation of large population. That land is now be- yond the reach of the man with limited means; that country is taken up," fully occupied and there is few, if any. eligible locations for the new settler. The place for the .ao i,ad 4 v5
 HOME SEEKER
 Is in the south. Go through the southern states this year, 1896, and we find a vast territory awaiting occupancy and devel- opment. We study it's advantages and are convinced that these lands of the south will be taken up. The south is such an extensive territory, and so much can be accomplished upon small area of this southern soil, it will take many years to fill up the country to it's proper capacity; hence there is abundant room for the great tide of immigration headed southward. ;,
 THE LAND OWNERS OF THE SOUTH are very largely interested in this move ment Their land is what these people coming south will buy. They are to re- ceive the greatest direct benefits there- from by reason of having the first ar tlcle required and necessary for the im- migrant upon his arrival The land own CTS are the people who should not hesi- tate to encourage this movement. How can they best serve the purpose? By placing the lands they desire to dispose of, and have no use for upon the mar ket and at reasonable prices. They should ascertain the commercial value of the property, then price it according ly. The same rule applies to realty as it does to other property, The merchant places upon his counters articles for sale. If the figure thereon is higher than the neighbor merchant asks for the same goods, the former merchant will not suc- ceed in selling. ~
 DON'T DRIVE IMMIGRATION AWAY.
 Not taking active steps to secure im- migration practically means driving it from 8 section. H1tt
 Coming south recently, I sat in the same seat with a very intelligent home seeker, who remarked, when the name of a certain place of over 5000 population was called out, That is a new place to me; never heard of it before. It is

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.

Southern Field.
 Notwithstanding the general depres- sion, in many portions of the country for the past three or four years, there has been a marked advance and healthy growth in the south Many new set tiers, attracted by the superior advant- ages of the south, have found their way there, and are succeeding well in their new homes. Capital has been rapidly flowing in and many investments have been made, which the not distant fu- ture will show were safe and judicious. A large number of new manufacturing enterprises nave been established, and few or no failures have been reported among this class. The expansion of trade and commerce has been extensive, and business of all kinds has been rela- lively much better in the south than in any other section of the country New lines of railroad have been built and old oItas greatly extended and improved. New steamship and steamboat lines have been established, companies have been organized in the line of improve ment and development in many direc- tions, and in the entire south there has been and continues to be great activity in business and commercial circles. The south seems to be entering upon 8 career of great prosperity by the development of her immense resources and the utiliza-
 ton of her manifold advantages. In the iron industry she is rapidly forging to the front and is proving a valorous competitor of Pennsylvania. In the line of cotton manufacturing she Is making such progress as to awaken the interest of New England and doing successfully in this direction what it had been said she could not do at all. She Is also en- larGlng her woodworking industries, and proving that she can make wagons, railway cars, furniture and all desorip- tions of wood working handicraft equal ly well With the most favored regions of the north and west Other lines of manufacture are already in successful operation and many new enterprises are in contemplation which will soon pass into the realm of established fact.
 With the new impetus to business now observable in all directions will come en- hanced advancement to the south. She has all the natural resources for a great and permanent prosperity, and under proper conditions can easily become the leading section of the union, and there is much encouragement in the history of the past few years to favor this concu- sion, - = ST..

arrangements MADE
For the Coming Visit Of the River
and HarbOr Committee
Of Congress-Win be in Wheel
ing on the 14th Inst, and Will be
Entertained With a Banquet.
Movements ofthe Packets-Local
River News and Notes.

A speial telegram from Washington
published in another column, gives in
formation of a rather disouraging ma
ture to the gentlemen who have inter
ested themselves in the movement to
secure a Congressional appropriation
for the permanent improvement OF the
upper Ohio. Notwithstanding it APP
pears that nothing may be expected
from the present session OF Congress,
the Pittsburg and Wheeling river men
hone to interest the members of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee to such
an extent as to secure their support Of
such a measure as has been contem-
plated. if introduced at a more favorable
time.
Mr.. c. B. Hart, representing the local
committee, was in Washington last
week. returning Saturday. He confer
red with Capt. Dovener and other mem
bers of the River and Harbor Com
mittee. relative to the proposed visit.
As a matter of course, there is some
apprehension that something may oc-
cur to cause change Of programme,
but a definite plan has already been
outlined.
The committee will leave Washing
ton on the evening Of March 18th, COM
ing to Fairmont over the B. & o., thence
proceeding over the Pittsburg branch
10 Morgantown. Al this point, the
party Will board a steamer for Pitts
burg. where the distinguished party
will be handsomely entertained.
On the morning of the 14th the Con-
gressional party will board the ele-
CANT Cincinnati and Pittsburg packet
Virginia" and proceed down the river
to this city, arriving on the evening
OF the same day. Their entertainment
here will be under the auspices Of the
Chamber of Commerce, and will take
the form of d banquet at one OF the
principal hotels.
The party will number probably thlr-
ty-fve persons. several members being
accompanied by their wives or daugh-
ters. The ladies will also be invited to
the banquet 1t has been definitely set
tied that most of the addresses will be
made by the visitors. although the OPP
portunity of enlightening the Congress
men upon the condition of affairs in
this immediate section will not be lost.
Every business man in Wheeling will
be invited TO attend the banquet, pro-
vided he is a member of the Chamber
of Commerce. However, in order that
all may participate. an invitation to
join the Chamber is extended The
dues are SO annually and names
should be sent to Secretary Howard
Hazlett The Bellaire Board of Trade
will be invited to be represented by a
committee and Martins Ferry and
Bridgeport will also be asked to send
representatives
1t is the expectation that the Con-
gressional party will go down the river
as far as Parkersburg and return TO
Washington via the B. & o. 1t is the
desire, however, that they proceed as
far as Cincinnati.
