The friends of o. G. Nash, G. j. Hibler,
Lee Slaughter and some others who left
this county for the Pacific slope last fall,
are looking for them to come
in every day. Some of them have
tried California, and others Washington
Territory, and after all have decided that
Texas is the best country. When they see
the fine crop prospects, wheat oats and
corn already made, and the chance of q
tiue co tton season, they will, no doubt
wish they had given the soil of Texas
another trial and the California bonn a
more thorough examination before cut
ting loose from Burnet county.
