DANISH PEOPLE
LEAVE CITY FOR
ALABAMA FARMS

A colony of Perth Amboy Danish
citizens is being established in
Alabama on large agricultural tract
of land near Jasper, about forty
miles northwest of Birmingham.
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
the Memphis Special from New York
to southern points stopped on special
orders at Elizabeth, and five families
and the head of another family OF
this city boarded the train to make
their future homes in the far South
Their furniture was stored in two
freight cars yesterday to be taken to
Jasper, and their friends here bid
them farewell. The emigration will
be followed by the removal of more
families from Perth Amboy to Ala
lbama in the fall, it is believed, II
| the venture proves as successful as
1t appears at present
Those who left this morning were
the following: Anton Skov and
family, of 4S3 Brace avenue; Peter
N. Spangsgaard and family, of Hope
lawn; Hans Struve and family, of
472 Amboy avenue; Greis Hansen
and wife; Fl. c. Hansen, OF Sayre
avenue, and G. Stoier and family.
Mrs Fl. C. Hansen will have charge
of Mr.. Hansens store in Sayre ave-
nue., but If the colonization is sue
cessful will follow him to the South
in the fall.
The emigrants will take possession
of 100 acres of land each, forty acres
of which have been cleared and are
ready for cultivation. Preparations
for their arrival in Jasper have been
fully made by the owner of the land
which they will occupy, and by M. V.
Richards, industrial and agricultural
commissioner, of the Southern rail-
road. 1t will take the emigrants
about thirty-eight hours of travelling
to reach Jasper, near which Is To-
Gated the land which they will cult
vate. Jasper is a thriving little place
OF about 1900. and reported as~grow-
ing every day.
1t was thorugh J. P. Holm, of this
city, that the Danish people were put
in touch with the opportunity to ac-
quire land in Alabama, to cultivate
and earn an Independent livelihood
He learned of about 100000 acres of
land near Jasper owned by wealthy
southerners, through the Industrial
commissioner of the Southern rail-
road, whom he had known for five
years. Mr.. Holm and H. C. Hanson
one of the party leaving this morn
ing, visited the tract the latter part
of January, and were very much
pleased with it, Several weeks ago
one of the owners of the land was
guest of Mr.. Holm In this city. and
seemed deeply interested In the pIan
to get Danish people to cultivate his
land, acres and acres of which have
been lying idle.
The emigrants are allowed to oc-
cupy the land. and are advanced

the property gradually. The first
payment on the land after it is occu-
pied does not fall due for two years.
