 Those are the sort of emigrants that are coming to Baldwin County. The list might be strung out indefinitely few names are given as samples.
 These immigrants and hundreds of others were brought here without State or County aid of any sort. A State Immigration Bureau and a State Immigration Agent are no doubt good things. If they were not good things Western States. which have secured most immigration would not have them. Bureaus and agents are good things or the big railroads of the North and West would not maintain them in European countries.
 But they are not absolutely neces- sary. Baldwin County secured the best sort of immigration without any agents except those sent out by private corporations.
 The immigrants were brought to Baldwin County by corporations which had land to sell. The corporations in terested the immigrants in the lands here, induced them to come down and look over the field and then sold them at a satisfactory figure. The whole transaction was pleasing and gratify- ing alike to the corporation and to the home-seeker.
 The secret Of the whole thing Is that the corporations are able to deliver the goods. They are able to make good all the gloomy pictures of the climate and of the land that had been painted to the home-seeker in his home in Chicago. in Milwaukee or In Minneap- oils. The prospective land buyer learned that In truth the climate was ideal, the land fertile and those who had come ahead of him told him that life in the pine woods was delightful as we'll as healthful and that there were money returns to be had from industry on the farm.

There Is ike wise no evasion about that answer nor is there any blufing. Corroborative evidence is at hand in any quantity.
