TEXAS LETTER.

HAMILTON, TEXAS, sept. III. 1913.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-lt has been a long
time since l wrote to you in regard to how our
country was getting along. We have as healthy
country rs is in the world, very good society for
u new country, and very rich land, but there is
one serious drawback to farming interests in
Texas, and that Is the drouths which frequently
occur. In order to succeed here a man must
combine stock with his farming, and then if his
crop fails he has the stock to fall back on. This
is said to be by the oldest settlers the dryest
year since 1910. There is almost an entire fail
ure OF crops in this part of the state no cotton
or whea, and very little corn. The creeks and
rivers are nearly all dried up. My advice to my
friends and others wishing advice is this: If
they have good homes and are doing well, let
well enough alone, but men who have to rent
and pay heavy cash rents Can get farms here
very cheap, at from one to two dollars per acre,
good rich land. There is a church and school
house in a half-mile of my house. Society very
good. all orderly. law-abidins citizens. We are
always glad to get the Intelligencer. 1t is like
getting u letter from home every week. We all
look forward to its arrival with pleasures; l hope
to be able to always take 1t. 1t always carries
me back to other days, those halcion days of
childhood and early manhood, where the most
pleasant hours of my life have been spent; and
brings to mind those friends with whom 1 have
spent so many pleasant moments in days gone
by. But, alas, relentless fate has severed those
fond associations, and we are doomed to wan
