WANTED IN THE "PANHANDLE"

September 12, 1887-The Cherokee Advocate-

The northwest corner of Texas is called "The Panhandle," and there is a 
town there with the same name, and in the town a newspaper in which appears 
this notice:  
"Wanted, immediately, 100 single young women who are prepared to rough it 
for a time, to come to the Panhandle and marry our thrifty young men who 
have located on 620 acres of land and are now living in dugouts, tents and 
cabins.  We can speak a good word for every one of the boys; they are of 
noble American citizens except one, and he is a little unfortunate in being 
the son of an English lord.    Girls this is a good chance.  Besides this,
 married life will beat single blessedness every time.  In a few months 
time the dugouts will be turned into cellars and comfortable houses erected 
when the railroads bring in lumber."
