The country through which
have passed from Bolton shows
evidence Of thrift, energy and
industry; the crops are really
fine and in very fine condition;
cotton and corn are fine. wheat
and oats have come ont since
the recent rain; two weeks ago
half a crop of each was the gen.
eral estimate, and with few ex-
ceptions a full crop is being
made. The sound of the reap
er greets the ear in passing
every neighborhood. Mediter-
ranean wheat is considered the
hardest surest crop and is
mostly grown; spring wheat, !
did not learn what variety or
name they give, is being grown
to some extent in all the neigh
borhoods and is gaining friends.
Waco is considerably excited
over new railway prospects.
Gov. Hubbard has been here in
the interest of the Texas Cen
trial Narrow Gauge road from
Texarkana to Tyler. Corsicana
and thence to Waco, provided
Mcclellan county gives $50, 900
and the right of way. There is
another railroad prospect before
these people, viz: railway to
Palestine and as they are not
able to build both, the usual
fate of such divisions will very
likely end in their failure to get
either. There is some pretty
good reasons for the belief that
the narrow gauge road will be
built as it is backed by St.Louis
capital and. if it does not come
by Waco twill pass some thir-
ty or forty, miles above, in which
event Waco will have missed
the best chance she will ever
have had for direct railroad
communication and must take
a position out in the cold.
