Cline actually works wonders. All
along the line of the Texas Pacific, Rail
way are evidences of prosperity. New
sugar houses, cotton gins, novel machine
ry for cultivation, everything&convincing
that the planter has awakened from past
methods. The towns and hamlets are
miniature cities, well laid out, and from
the amount of cotton bales and freight
cars at every station and the crowds ut
the stores, the coontry must be on a boom.
SAT Alexandria improvements have
been steadily in order. From the depot
to the heart of the city, i'll lieu of the mo-
rass thdt pedestrians, buggios and wagons
formerly floundered in, is gniticent
plank drive. Elegant homes, surround
ed by luxuriant gardens, are to be found

from the merchants, they raise these ar

leaving the cotton crop-which, by the
way, has this season been excellent-fol
