Accordingly, the parish of Kotitz now has 90 homes and the number of houses increased by 50 in the last 60 years. The newly-arrived population is a mixture of Wends and Germans and very diversified, since the builders of the new houses, or the purchasers, come from various regions and family backgrounds. Nevertheless, conditions in the parish, in spite of everything, are beginning to get better all the time. A person now usually still finds the disorganized [dislocated??] among the inhabitants who do not own any land; being so many they certainly are a great hindrance to the general welfare. But the landowners, from whose mouths one perceives grateful joy over the abolition from compulsory labor are for the most part orderly and industrious. In the meantime, may they remain loyal in their hearts to the saving faith on the Son of God apart from which all progress in material well-being will, sooner or later, prove itself as brilliant misery.
