EESULTS. 



In conclusion I would say : As a family, we have emerged 

 from our dug-oiit, and are living to-day in a log house, thirty- 

 four by sixteen, with frame ell, ten by fourteen, divided into 

 three rooms, seven feet high ; shingle roof and pine floors. We

 to-day, $2,000 cash. In what other business, with no capital 

 (a family of three children, the oldest but ten years of age), 

 could we have done as well ? I have no axe to grind, no land 

 to sell. But to those who have nothing in the East, as I had, 

 I give my experience, which is also the experience of seven out 

 of ten around me, and will close by saying, Come and do 

 likewise.
