Arrival of New Colonists

Advance Guard of Dr. Van Eeden's Co-operative Colony in Pender County - New 
Comers in Other Counties

Wilmington Star - The advance party of the co-operative colony to be started 
in Pender County by Dr. Frederick Van Eeden, a noted Holland physician, has 
arrived and the immigrants are temporarily residing in colonies of the 
Carolina Trucking Development Company. A number of other Hollanders are now en 
route to this section of the State and within a short time the new colony will 
be peopled.

The first to arrive were Messrs. A. Dekker and N.J. Beverson, Dutchmen, who 
are temporarily located at Castle Haynes. Mr. Dekker is an expert in the dairy 
business while Mr. Beverson has had wide and valuable experience in the 
cultivation of tobacco, having raised the weed in Sumatra. With them was Mr. 
P.I. Rond, a Dutch farmer, who is temporarily at New Berlin. Four other 
Holland families are now en route to Wilmington.

A few weeks ago a Mr. Vogels arrived and purchased a small fuit farm at Castle 
Haynes. He is not only an expert Dutch farmer but has had in Holland a great 
deal of experience with the co-operative marketing of farm produce and with 
the management of farmer's organizations. He resigned the management of one of 
the most important farm organizations to come to this country. His farm at 
Castle Haynes will really be only a side line as his most important work will 
be in taking charge of and organizing the business of the settlers who locate 
in the new colony. He will take on this work as soon as a sufficient number of 
Dutch families have arrived and other arrangments have been pushed far enough 
along to make it possible for the new colony to start.

During the past few days a number of other homeseekers have been here on a 
visit of inspection and among those who decided definitely to locate in this 
section are three Hungarian families who have made ample means and experience 
for making a success in eastern Carolina. They are Mr. J. Kosh and Mr. J. 
Saunders, who have secured 20 acres of land each, and Mr. Benedek Barta, who 
has secured 30 acres. Mr. Andrew Laslo, the purchaser of 20 acres is expected 
to arrive with his family next week.

The Carolina Trucking Development Company has also recently had a visit from a 
group of three wealthy and successful North Italian families who have made a 
success in the north. They expect to dispose of their property in the north 
and cast their lot with their countrymen at St. Helena.
