Desirable New Citizens.

This community has four new citi-
zens in the persons of one Belgian
and three Holland farmers who ar
rived here this week and have rented
tracts Of land on the Lemann Com
1any's Pegtavin plantation, adjoining
DonaldsonVille. The immigrants, who
are all practical farmers, will raise
potatoes and other truck crops on an
extensive scale, and if they make a
success of their agricultural opera
lions and find the country to their
liking, it is probable they will make
arrangements to purchase farms from
the Lamann Company and locate here
permanently. These are the kind of
citizens Of which this community
stands greatly in need, and our peo-
pie should make it a point to extend
them a cordial welcome and assist
them in getting established. There
IS no doubt they will find the land
as fertile as could be wished for, the
climate favorable ard the living con-
a1tions first class, and If to these
great natural advantages is added a
spirit OF friendship and cooperation
on the part of our people, the new
eohlers viii be brought to a reaIiza-
ton of the fact that they could not
possibly settle. inSa more favored or
promising section, and will doubtless
arrange to cast their lots with US per

cuss the proposition to establish a

number OF the leading business men

Dr. Il. K. Sims, who explained the
object of the conference and pointed
out of the value of a race track to this

that DonaldsonVille is ideally situated
to derive the utmost benefit from
an amusement enterprise of this sort,
and that the project should by all
means be carried out if the proper
degree OF interest and cooperation
IS shown by the business interests
which stand to reap the greatest
amount of profit from the venture.

ter, a committee composed of DR..
=. K. Sims, Alex. BIoomenstiel, John
