An Immigrants Experience.

From the Galveston News.
TEMPLE, Tex, May 3, 1883.
Samuel Neel, EsQ.:
Dear Sir-By this time you will have
lost sight of me. promised to give you
an account of my experiences aud how ]
like Texas. l came to Texas four years
ago the 18th Of SEPTEMBER last. Being a
stonecutter by trade, got work at San
Antonio the second day landed. After
being there awhile, three of us called on
you and got through you Mr.. Bells farm
to rent think you will now remember
my name, Thomas Purvies. We did not
do very well on the farm, so left and got
stonecutting at Austin on the state house.
After being there for some time, l went to
Lampasas and remained there seven
months, earning
THREE AND ONE HALF TO FOUR DOLLARS PER
DAY.
From there went to San Saba, a very
nice town, and thought would try farm
ing again, as l like il so we'll.
bought farm with house and seventy
acres, twenty for grazing. 1 paid $3.50
for it. There is great deal of cedar on
it, and also white marble. 1 kept it two
years and sold it for $500, after which l
bought three farms, in all about 400 acres,
which is all paid for. l have now,on hand
5000 and am doing well. At present am
on visit to Temple seeing some friends.
| said | would report to you as to how
am getting on in Texas. 1 know it Is the
BEST PLACE FOR ANY MAN
that wants to get on, providing he is will
ing to work. l know in my own case it
m tn Of
trymen from Scotland come to you at the
home at Seguin let them see what can be
done. Should any want to come here l
will do anything for them. will let them
have farm cheap and on time, and also
help them to start You can write me
when you have any such.
Texas is a beautiful country and the
people are all so very kind. 1t Is indeed
POOR MANS PARADISE,
and he will not be long there before he is
a gentleman, having a comfortable and
beautiful home, which he can seldom reach
in the old country. l only wish 1 could
advise al my old mates 10 come to Telaa,
a land of happiness and plenty compared
to the old country. Wages for expert
enced farm hands is $40 per month, stone
cutters So so TO 81 per day, blacksmiths
$3.50 to $3.50 per day, carpenters aud
painters the same.
Land sells from 81 to Sc per acre, and
even more. would say to all Englishmen
and Scotchmen to come to Texas, aud
that there is plenty of school lands for
sale at 81 per acre.
If you think of it will you send a copy
of this home to Edinburg, your agent
there being Mr.. j. A. Lindsay?
Texas is
NOT VERY WELL KNOWN
in Scotland, or think more would come |
out. can faithfully say Texas is grand
country, and l wish people to know where
they vii not want for liberty comfort |
and plenty of food. Yours truly,
THos. PURvIEs.

Bloody ARRAY

LYNcHBURG, Va, May 28-An Abingdon
special says the engineers of the Ten
nessee Steel and Iron company, while sur
veying in Wise county on the 25th, were
attacked by body of men in the bushes
and two of the party killed. A company
of guards under command of Captain
DotsoD.- employed to protect the en-
gineers, were driven off and routed.
Great trouble is expected and the settlers
of the neighborhoOd warn the engineers
to leave Immediately. The cause of the
trouble is dispute over the possession of
the land, which both settlers and company
claim.

Died, near Red Land, La, October 10, 1883
Mrs MARTHA ADAMS, wife of d. w. Adams.
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord
1t is but natural that the living should mourn
the loss of their departed loved ones The
golden bowl is broken, the lamp of useful
good and Christian life is forever existinged
and the spirit Of Mrs. Adams has winged its
fight to that undiscovered country from
which no traveller returns
One more head is freed from aching,
One more heart has ceased to beat,
One more soul has left its casket--
Gone to Heavens safe retreat.
