BAYLOR COUNTY.
Needed Now is the Man With
the Plow.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
SEYMOUR, TEX. April Not only is
the town of Seymour and Baylor county
the most favorably located town and
county in the northwest for railroads and
every other enterprise that it takes to de-
velop it into good and desirable country
to live in, but it seems that the great
giver of all good has decreed that it
shall be one of the most favored parts in
this section of the country There has
not been a time since the rains COM
menced after the great drouth of 1886
that this section of the country has not
had sufficient rains for farming and stock
purposes. There has fallen to-day and
is falling at this writing a fine rain which
makes the small grain crop, of which
there Is large amount planted, GER
tainty. The farmers are about done
planting corn, and the farms are II ex-
cellent condition. There have been many
new farms put in this year.
As for the city of Seymour, it is i'm
proving rapidly. The contract has Just
been let for the building of thirteen stone
business houses on Main street, and
Capt. Britton, president of the First
National bank, is going to build a
twelve thousand dollar stone building on
Washington street, in which the First
national bank OF Seymour will be ope-
rated. Mrs. Morris and others will let
the contract in a few days to build q
magnificent stone hotel, to be also To-
Gated on Washington street. Besides
those mentioned there q number of
houses, both business and residence,
now under course of construction. How
ever, the place will not realize a build
ing boom until the railroad gets here, so
we can get the benefit of freight rates in
lumber. A large furniture store has
been opened by j j. Nance, of Wichita
Falls, which was badly needed
1t might be said that Baylor county is
now realizing a substantial boom, and
when we take into consideration the vast
amount of good land, good water and
everything necessary to make it desir-
able county to live in, with the present
prospect for railroad facilities, together
with sufficient rains to insure a small
grain crop, we do not see why she should
not boom. All we need is plenty of live,
industrious and energetic farmers to fill
our rich and fertile valleys with growing
wheat and corn which have ever been re-
sponsive to the exertions OF the man with |
the plow.

HASKELL, Ten, April 4. = Haskell
county Is getting to be somewhat of a
hummer herself. She was blessed to-
day with a long and heavy rain for abou.
ten hours, refreshing the thousands Of
crops of wheat and oats all over the
county on the new and beautiful farms.
1t is difficult to judge which is growing
faster, our town or our county. You
drive into the country and see the many
new houses and farms, and you think the
lands are being settled faster. Then you
come in town and you hear the
hammerer on every side and think the re-
verse. There are more new houses than
old ones in our town, and still the lum-
Der rolls in for more. Business lots sold
last week at 500 to $1,000 each, and still
they continue to rise and to change
hands, and no one thinks of selling with
out making a handsome profit. We
think our future is brighter than any
other county in the Northwest, for our
wheat crop, which is over thousands of
acres, is an assured fact, for we have
had cloudy and rainy weather for three
or four days, and our prospects are good
for a railroad center with the many
roads pointing this way, viz: The Fort
Worth and Albuquerque, the Wichita
Valley, the Henrietta and Seymour, the
Dallas and Southeastern and the Houston
and Texas Central from Albany, which
gives US direct connection with the
pineries of Southeast Texas as soon as the
Waco and Trinity extension is COM
pleted This road will give us cheaper
timber than any other station in the
Northwest or any other railroad.
Our cattIemen are happy that they
have the finest watered county in the
Northwest and the finest grass. Consid-
cradle trading is going on among them
now.
Prospectors are still numerous and the
hotels are still inadequate.
The Haskell lumber company is great :
convenience to our people now while the
roads are too muddy to haul lumber
from abroad.
We have a flourishing Masonic lodge,
and will organize an Odd Fellows lodge
soon.
Churches, mills, schools, merchants,
etc., are too numerous to mention, and
still there is room for more. -

ATOKA, I. t., April ga suit involv-
ing important coal leases was tried here
yesterday. A contract of the Atoka coal
mining company had expired. There is
now pending in the Muskogee court a
case determining the ownership of mine
No. 6, at Lehigh, and large amount of
royalty is hung up in the company s
hands until the ownership is determined
The Atoka company sought to renew
their contract. The national agent heard
arguments on both sides, and finally de-
termined to renew the company s con-
tracts on all mines they are now working
except No. 6. Able lawyers pleaded on
both sides, Mr.. Kimball, from Parsons,
Mr.. Randel1, from Sherman, and
others.
The Atoka Baptist academy gives an
elaborate entertainment tonight. A
tambourine drill is an important feature
in the programme.
Great interest is felt all over the Ter
ritory in the Oklahoma bill now before
congress. Almost every section is d.
rectIy interested. Although no titles to
land can be given, yet real estate hold
ers in the various towns where United
States courts are proposed in said bin to

booms. Lots and Lands in and around
Muskogee have advanced several hun
dred per cent. in value since the United

thought the same will be true in Atoka,

is growing very rapidly anyway. Over
10 200 bales of cotton were shipped from
there the past. season.
