THE EXODUS - The Truro 'SUN' of Wednesday says: "Two hundred and fifty tickets were sold at the R.R. depot in this town yesterday, to parties going to Boston and other parts in the United States. In most instances they were young men and women who were emigrating to that country for the purpose of obtaining remunerative employment. From other stations along the line, people are also departing in large numbers."
