"A. j. Officer of Bethel is visit

"A. S. Holt paid a short visit to
his son j. f. Holt last week.
j. V. Huff and wife started
last week to that region which is as
trackless as the mighty ocean. Mr..
Phelps (son of Benton Phelps who
has been in Texas over II months
asserts most positively that he has
been unable to make a track in that
lonely region. He says when the
ground is dry he makes none, and
when wet he makes none, from the
fact that he picks them up and
takes them with him-hence the
trackless region.

EDITOR of the Review, Ennis, Ellis
o.. Tex, and brought forth the
joke on sold Giles and
Azyma." We say joke, of course,
rom the fact that what he says Of
I'D Giles is not a reasonable lie;
tut he approximates the very verge
# truth in speaking of Azyma's f.
lances. He doesn't deny single
harge, but heaps. upon US the fol-
owing anathemus: To Messrs.
Bass, Brown, McLaurine and other

efficient means and wisdom to

terile region and better their con

Giles" Bunker Hill monument Ito
"Azyma. Two to one,
f the monument could raise the
Necessary means to buy second
lass ticket for himself and better
lalf and the family's increase, he
would land in Ellis county, bag and
baggage, gun and dog, coon-skin

wo weeks, but the prospect is we
hall be spared the affection, for the
easons stated, and old Giles will
lave to retain her monument
1t is not necessary for us to
prove by Giles countians that our
lillsides are not barren. We can
prove this by Texans themselves.
Mr.. Harrison of Ellis county com
nitted himself to some of our best
citizens while out here last fall. He |
poke in the highest terms of our
ertile hillsides and valleys, etc. We |
will now hear a statement from |
Mr. Harrison in regard to emigra-
ion from Tennessee: "We (said |
Harrison to Esq. j. M. Bass) con
identity thought that the cream of
Tennessee was emigrating west, but

IN i'll wind is blowing the scum to
Texas, AS to Azyma's outfit |
such as "bag and baggage, gun and
log, coon skin cap and red bro

wealth, but were he to procure "the
necessary means" to go to Ellis |
county, equipped with the above
so much above his

and quake in his presence
