The misfortune of Baylor aud adjoin-
ing counties to-day, says the seymour
sun, is that lands cannot be offered In
| small enough tracts. Every thing has TO
be sold IN sections and half sections to
such large extent that as the prices ad-
vance it drives many good farmers out
onto the plains, because they are not
able to carry SO much land. Before
BAYLOR can be what she ought to be her
sections must be divided into quarter
sections aud good farmer on each one.
Divide the sections.

Whnt Cnnsed ana Rate war.

The present war over Texas rates is about as
bad as ever Texas roads experienced, and
it was no doubt brought on by the rivalry be-
tween Galveston, Houston, st. Louis and New
Orleans all of which desire to be the dlstrlbut-
ing points for Texas traffic. The Southern
Pacific and the Morgan lines take their STAND
with New Orleans, while the Missouri PACING
and other Gould lines want ST. Louis; the NAL
Tory line favors Galveston, its main Texas port;
and the Arkansas Pass and The Santa Re look
upon Houston as the natural distributing CEN
ter. Now, if the railroads would stop these
wars, by which they make no money and gener.
ally land right where they started from, iet
and there will be no squabbling about whether
this or that seaport will be the distributing
point.
