PROSPECTUS.
THE PORT ARKANSAS COMPANY,
CORPUS CHRISTI. TEXAS.

The Port Alansas Company Las
acquired some $4,000 acres Of lei q,
situated on the Corpus Christi Bay,
(Gulf of Mexico,) Texas. This laad
lies partly within and adjacent to. the
old town of Corpus Christi, aad
commands the entire deep water front
age Of Arkansas Pass. The Bay has
$50 SCARE miles Of water, and is ccm-
pletely land-locked and protecfe ed
from Gulf storms by Harbor and
Mustang islands, the latter island
reaching out from the main land into
the Gulf like an arm, and is from
ten to fifty feet above the high EST
tides ever known This island con-
tains $500 acres, and affords FIVE
miles of twenty-four feet deep wa :er
frontage. The Deep Water TurIni lal
railroad will have its turminus at he
extreme point of this island, tlus
alfording admirable shipping facili-
ties. The San Antonio and Aran; ga 8
Pass railway ard the Mexican Nat
Joni railroad, already in operation,
have terminals at this point, and the
Corpus Christi and Sonth American
railroad, connecting Corpus Chr SIT
with Brownsville, on the Rio Grande,
now under obstruction, is q link il
the great line trversing Mexico an
opening up the Central American
Republics. These roads give cOn-
nection with the vast western terri
tory of the United States and Mexico
In addition to the fine railroad facili-
ties, this company possesses the most
available, the only certain, deep
water harbor on the Gulf of Mexico
south and west of the Mississippi
river, and has a larger extent OF
territory, larger population than
is now tributary to any one sea
port in the world. 1t is, in fact, with
its uneXcelled advantages of railroad
and water transportation the key o.
the commercial South.

County Official Paper
Sunday Reading.

The President of the American
Sabbath Union recommends his
Saturday evening paper for Sunday
reading. But the one objection that
takes precedence of all others against
the Sunday newspaper is that the
reading of it keeps many people from
church, and that those who read it
aud 60 TO church are very much
hindered in their devotions, and their
listening to the sermon while at
church. Now will not the reading of
Mr.. Shepards Saturday evening
paper on Sunday have the same
effect? And if so, will the American
Sabbath Union advocate the abolition
of Mr.. Shepard's Saturday evening
paper? If not, why not2-[American
