Emigration

We nolico movers passing thro’ our streets almost daily, journeying onward towards the setting sun. The tide is still setting to the far Wost. To those on the shores—oT the Atlantic, Indiana scorns a great distance in tho West, while we point to the groat territories and say, “yonder is thp far West.” Westward is the march of Empire, yet there is still room, even here in Jasper county. We have an abundance of cheap land, a boalthy climate, and pleasuut poople.— Ol)r .farmers arc paid well for their produce; thosoii is fertile, #nd easily cultivated; stock raisers can find no better pastures ofmoadows between tho oceans., and they ns free as air; wo are near the best markets in the world, have good school, and tho moral and religious standard of society equips tho average of that Otrt her East. Wo invite those desiring cheap homes to stop and look among us beforogoing further and faring worse. • X.
