VIGIEE's D1sINcnusTANT FOR STEAM BOILERS
We call especial attention to the card OF Mr.
Hugh ". MONTGOMERY published in another
column. Mr.. Montgomery is the sole agen. for
the Southwest for this celebrated French COM
pound for DISTINGUISHING boilers. When this
process was first introduced here engineers
we're naturally suspicious OF Il, but the high
character of the gentleman who is introducing
the process here has utterly disarmed them of
that suspicion. and those who have used 1t have
raaped Incaieulable benefit. and all with one
accord pronounce it the best compound for re-
moving scales from boilers. Mr.. Montgomery
has reduced the prics to twenty cents per
pound. and at that rate 1t ID great economy to

Mr.. r NJ. WHITE:
Dear Sr-You will confer a lasting
obligation on me by sending your val
liable paper to my address at this
place. / have been here nearly two
weeks and / find mankind in this part
Of the country very much like the
people of Audrain county-kind and
obliging.
find also that they can raise as
good corn, wheat, oats and all kinds
of vegetables as easily as you can in
Audrain. The only thing hat Mis-
sour can beat this part of Texas in is
apples all other small fruit this
try, with proper cultivation, can raise
successfully. Cotton does we'll here.
THIS county is considered, by men
well infoi med, to be one of the poor
est counties for farimm.ng IN Northwest
ern Texas.
This place is 65 miles due west
from Dallas 35 miles south of Jacks
borough, and so miles last Of Palo
Pinto. 1t is, or win be soon, the
terminus of the Texas & Pacific r. r
and will be for some time. This
place will then be the great trading
point for two hundred miles west and
north to the Pan Handle and south to
Coleman county. l think this the fu-
ture great of Texas.
l want you to send me your three
last papers when YOU send and 1 will
send you a county paper now and
then, We all miss the LEDGER very
much. Direct your paper to-
