SETTLING IN GRAHAM COUNTY - SAM GARLAND

Sam Garland, an Osborne county negro who was a cloak room guard during the session of the legislature, is now trying to get a colony of negroes to settle out in Graham county. There are a number of negro farmers out there now, and Nicodemus has been known for a long time as a negro settlement. Sam tells his colored friends that a farm in Graham county beats staying in Topeka and Kansas City and depending on getting jobs from day to day. (Sedan Lance, March 23, 1899, page 2)
