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."
