great value, and you can in no way make
your paper more valuable than by the diff
fusion of such knowledge, as il is calculated
to aid the people of Texas in an intelligent
adaptation Of themselves to the altered
condition of the country.

aour mil, and AM now seeking information
from every available source in reference to
the cost of machinery for spinning cotton.
You say the cost will be $l2 per spindle.
The transportation and putting up of the
house will be So additional. Did you in

We can assure him that it is our chief aim
