EMIGRATION CONTINUES.

The exodus of Jasper county farmers to the promised land of the Dakotas continues, and each day some family leaves to seek their fortune in the great northwest. Monday morning Henry Shide and family, Mrs. Joe Shide and children, Jake and Henry Wagner all of Carpenter tp., left for Larimore, No. Da. The Wagner boys have purchased a quarter section of good land near that place. Mrs. Nick Wagner accompanied them as far as Chicago. On the same train R. B. Porter and family left for their new home near Mitchell, So. Dak. Last Tuesday evening twenty cars of household goods from the neighborhood of Goodland and Brook left for the Dakotas. From Pulaski county, near Star City, over forty families will leave for Montana and North Dakota this spring.
