GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
“TREK”. – We (Somerset Courant) are informed on respectable authority that is is the intention of many of our Dutch farmers to remove from this district to the Free State. Several whose names have transpired are extensive landowners, and it is said express their determination either to sell or let out their farms on lease, alleging as a reason for their contemplated movement the oppressive and increasing rate of colonial taxation which to them seems to be growing intolerable.
