FROM ile WssslssAis Argus
la this time uf rmi. ration, Wo
know ONO place in al! our broad aUd
beautiful Texas, Offering better la
luecmcnts TO the movers from the
older States moth and oast of as.
than this immediate region, And
in answer 20 many inquiries, comlug
to us from strangers far AWAY, We
would say TO all at once, and thus
save time that Texas i grd'
.Sidtr-dccldclly great State
Reaching fran the Gulf 10 Red l'iv-
or, and from the Sabine 10 tie RIO
Grabdc, Il possesses greater vurl-
ETY. of climate than any other State
ofour Union, IL is adapted al.sc -
the production Of sugar cane, equal
20 the finest OF Louisiana; to tho
growth Of cotton, cqualing in yield
per acre aud qunli,y the. lar lrmod
cotton regions around aud tributary
to Mobile; - tho raising Of corn and
wheat aud oihorsmGll grains, scarce,
ly surpassed by the valleys Of the
Wabash, tho Stioto or the GcnCsscc.
Our county of Ellis, lying as it
does, near what will in II iow years
be the half way station between Gal
weston Pay aud Red Rivcr-thc
great ,horOughGarc ortravol, linking
the Guilty. with the Indian Territory
ard Kansas and NcbraSkahand the
head waters of tho Mississippi. and
the rich mineral regions of Montana
and ldaho-is fur enough north 10
be beyond fear Of the cpidcmics
which visit our coasts, and is so Gle,
waited that its purity of climate is be
coming almcst provorbial. Its soil
is deep, rich, black-contaimihg
enough limo to feed most richly
wheat and other kindred grains.
And the labors Of our farmers have
proved, since the war, that by the
proper care, it will yield u bulc Of
cotton TO the acre.
A few days since, wo heard orc Of
our farmers say that he weighed his
wheat us it came from the thrcshCr,
and it averaged G3 pounds TO the
bushcl. We believe that with the
same care bestowed on the culture
of wheat ters that it receives in New
York, Ellis county cannot be sur
passed. ......
A few years since, il was believed
abroad, and even here, that garden
vegetables could NOT be successfully
raised in Texas. We now know that
the black lands around WaXahachic
are producing vegetables in rich
abundance. Scarcely family but
what enjoys tho Irish potato from
May until the sweet potato crop
takes its place, aud supplies the table
through the fall and winter. A few
days ago one Of our stores had Oh its
counter beet weighing, about five
pounds. This is good coUnirytorgdr-
dcns, when even intelligence and mas
Gle are brought to bear on the soil;
and without these, no country is good.
The nursery Of Mr.. Dillon, two
miles north of WaXahachie is begin
ming to convince the most incrcdu
lous that black lands are well adapt
ed to the growth of the apple, pegr,
various grapes, strawberry, black
berry, gooscberry, and other berries
too tedious to mention, while his
one hundred and fifty varieties Of
roses, and his hundreds Of other or
namcntal shrubs, arc equal to those
Of the nurseries ofthc oder States.
OUR TOWN
is thrifty, neat little place beyond
al doubt one Of the hca|th;cSt PLACES |
we have ever seen. We lave IN |
abundant supply Of good water
spring, well and cistorn. We lave,
t is true, at present, no officers, by |
.hc grace of Gen Reynolds, except
county Judge and Sheriff. In spite
If this, there is no lawcssness in our
