A COON COLONY
Ben Blair is Working to Colo

negroes Of Des Moines, at the instlgatlon
of B. p. Blair, colored man of Suliy

the city lately with the intention
of interesting Iowa negroes i'll the
scheme.
For over twenty years Mr.. Blair, who
acquired 1000 or more acres OF land
from thegovernment, has been the only
negro in Sully county, living on his
large farm there and becoming wealthy
from the sale Of his farming products.
For a number Of years he has been max
ing plain for the colonization OF the
country in the vicinity OF his farm by
| importing thousands OF respectable neg
roes preferably selected from Iowa,
who, by combining their efforts in
community Of interests, will be enabled
/ to prosper more than in an average
American city, Owing to the tact
that Des Moines has more negro pop
ulation than any other city in the neigh
borhood of this territory and he has a
number of friends and relatives here
Mr.. Blair hit upon this city as being the
most favorable community III which TO
agitate his scheme.
W nile iii nes n oines Mr.. Blair was in
with the most prominent negroes in the
state spending three days in going over
his plans, explaining the nature OF the
country, proposing methods for dis
posing of local property by transferring
, it for real estate in Sully county anC
South Dakota. Sully county is bounded
on the east by the Missouri river, large
bend in this stream being selected as ;
site for the proposed town. AT an ap
proximate cost Of from $3.50 upward tn
land in the vicinity, which is as fertil
as any in the state, can be bought.
BY exercising due care in his selec
tions of members of the new commuI
ity, Mr.. Blair believes that in the cours
of "a few years a prosperous town o
several thousand inhabitants can b

selected to make the trip to Sully

Local Items of Interest.

J. w. l.. Zeitlow, of Aberdeen, was
caller at this office Wednesday, and gave
his version of the troubles between the
long distance telephone company he is
manager of and the local exchange.
He wishes to get franchise to put in
a complete system in the city, but there
don't seem to be much show for it at
this time Perhaps there might be ad-
vantages to telephone patrons IN his
proposition, but a good many people
in the city will always have a kindly
feeling for the present local telephone
company as long as Walter Rowe is at
the head of it, for Walter is young
man who is self made and has worked
up from the bottom by sheer merit. Ii
Manager Rowe should ever quit the
local company things might be differ
ent, but people look upon him with
favor, he having grown up with his
system in this city.
