raised several times, Chief Examiner Lyman to

ED. EAGLE: | remained at
|Bonham eight days, prospected
|out to Red river, twelve miles
north. Saw magnificent coun-
try lards seemingly all that
could be desired, said to raise
% bale per acre. Improved
lands can be bought from ten
dollars up. Two days ago l ran
up to this place and am stop
|ping with my old friend, III. G.
Holcombe. Sherman is a nice
county town claiming a popula-
ton of eight thousand, having
decreased two thousand since
the passage of the railroad west.
The Texas Central and the Tex.
as Pacific cross here. This por'
tion of Texas ic very beautiful,
lands rich and lie well, many
fine orchards. A man who wish
es to farm in Texas, and car
pay from FIVE to ten dollars al
acre for land, need not go any
further west or south. Water
good here at present. l expec'
to leave for Waco this evening
whence / will dot again.
