WHAT 1T OFFERS.

1t is along the lines of this road that South
west Texas offers such inducements to settlers
as would, if fully understood, rapidly fill this
whole region with corn and cotton farms, fruit
orchards and vineyards, vegetable gardens
and root crops of all kinds. The lands through
which this road runs are very fertile, well
watered and timbered. The climate is unsur-
passed and there is not any section of the
country through which it passes in which
farming operations cannot be successfully
carried on. Fruits, grapes, vegetables and
melons ripen and are marketed weeks in adj
vance of other sections. Write to
