Hoslly prairie, requiring no clearing sud
hence mach easier bransh, under a high
state Of cultivation Ih.n where tho lsad
has To 10 cleared. And NC viii be borne
out By ell farmers Who have lived here
that there Is scarcely known crop that
cannot be successfully cultivated here. So
Ear ss the quality and capacity Of our
lands are concerned, therefore, our section
possesses all the advantages that might he
required or eau be found In any part Of
the country.
In regard to Railroads, Dallas l., per-
haps, the most dssirably located point In
Central Texas. Its natural advantages I
Its active, enierprising and growing pop.
uia,iOn, and iis central position have com.
nanded and always will command atten.
ton and attract railroads. The Texas
Central Railroad Is now located, We sup.
plee, clear through 10 Red River, passing
through our eligible only old settled town,
by tho way, that the road has touched
since Il left Houston land We have assu-
RANGES that II will be built to this place
within twelve months. The Southern Pa
cihc Railroai-the road recen tly chartered
by Congress, aud which 10 destined to be
tho principal artery Of commerce and travel
bet wceu the Atlantic and PaciGc-it is
confidently beloved will cross the Central
Road here; our citizens will make every
effort to accomplish this end, and as it is
the natural and always-talked of crossing
of these two roads, there is hardly doubt
that they will succeed.
Dallas, also, is the acknowledged head
of navigation of the Trinity river. Boats
have already come up to this point, and
IN effort is now being made in the Legis-
lature Of our State to incorporate a Com
pauy which proposes to place the river in
complete navigable order to Dallas, and to
run boats Of good fi1c here from six to
eight months in the year.
Lands, aud good lands, 1--WE have no
other) can be bought in this and the ad.
.jaccnt counties at, We suppose, from 81
to So or IS per acre, for unimproved and
at from So TO $40 or $50, for improved
places.
We have plenty of fencing and fire wood
along all tho rivers and creeks, sufficient
for the uses of generations yet unborn, and
large timber for building purposes; but
our principa building lumber is brought
from East Texas, distance Of from 100 to
$50 milea,-at which distance can be found
the best of hard pine, and Steam Mills in
abundance. Pine lumber is generally de-
livered here at from 81 to 81! per hundred
in the summer, but in the winter when the
roads arc bad, it comes up higher. For
the past twelve months, owing to the in
creased demand, and bad roads caused by
wet weather it has run up to nearly dou
BILE these figures.
The Wheat ofthis region is acknowledged
to be equal if not superior to most any
grown in the United States and we have
abundance of first class steam gri.t mills
to do all our grinding.
In conclusion, we would say to our cor
respondent, that the class Of citizens com
prised in his county is just the kind o.
people we want TO see came among US
men of means, and others of energy and
enterprise, and who are willing to work
We don't want any dronss.
