has added to his original purchase until he now
has inciosed in his farm l l,Oos acres of that ex.
cellent Texas Prairie land. upon which he has
built every necessary building. But his enereies
are now DEVOTED more particularly to stock
raising, of which he now has q considerable
amount. consisting of horses, mules, cattle and
sheep. He has herd Of twelve head of cattle of
the finest Durham bloods that he could get. and
is lalsing calves Of fine bloods which he in

started last Monday with this herd for the
Brownsville fair and will attend the fairs to be
held at Hlgginsviile, Marshall, st. Louis and
