Professor F. H. Albert Of Houston, an emf
nent educator Of that city, was in KerrviIle last
July during the summer vacation. The pro-
fessor has been a great traveller in his time, and
has seen the greater part of the old world, in
Guiding Switzerland, Spain and other countries
famed for the grandeur and beauty of their nat
ural scenery. He was asked how he liked Kerr
vile and her surroundings.

took drive up the mountain ridge that encir-
Giles the town. After we crossed the Guadalupe
got sight of scenery that reminded me of Swift
zerland. We could see as far as twenty miles at
least, and though it was near noonttde we
scarcely noticed the heat OF the sun. 1t is very
strange, sir, that the people Of Houston, Gal
weston and other Texas cities, viii go and spend
their money in the North and East when they
can get such sights, such bracing air as / find
here in their own state. / am positive if people
knew, or had only an idea OF what Kerrviue and
its surroundings offer them, they would come
here by the hundreds. will add this, that
there is no malaria here. Several guests Of this
hotel who came here for their health told me
that after being here only few days they felt
the beneficial effects of your pure and health
inspiring mountain air. -
Mr.. Harry Hardy, who had Joined the pro-
fessor while he talked. remarked that he en-
dorsed every word the professor had spoken,
and added,

Messrs. Morgan, Baker and A. R. Carter, ] took
q trip over the mountains and win say never
spent more pleasant day. While the sun was
shining brightly, yet the air was pure, and
having a constant breeze the heat was not felt

PRODUCTIONS.

Within the limits of the counties traversed
by the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass Railway
grow luxuriant crops of wheat, oats, barley,
rye, buckwheat, corn, sorghum, millet, alfal-
ia, broom corn, castor beans, peas and beans
of all varieties, peaches, pears, plums, grapes,
figs, and other fruits, tomatoes and all other
vegetables, melons of every variety and great
size and Msciousness, all kinds of grasses, flow
ers and nursery stock. The grains and fruits
of the North as we'll as the Southern staples
are all here, and intelligent cultivation alone
is needed to make of this region the garden
spot of America.
There is not county through which this
road pssses that does not afford thousands of
acres of soil adapted to the growth of what is
above enumerated and much more.

WHAT 1T OFFERS.

It 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

dead to every ennObing sentiment. The
avalicious man can have no feelings in COM

bolts and bars the doors against the outside

disappointment Within his gloomy abode
the voice of affection is never heard. No

and was the most elaborate thing of the
kind ever given in our chapel hall Nearly the
whole company of sixty-three members were pres

the wide platform. The bright sunshine and the
mellow air OF spring poured in through the open
windows making the hall cheerful and pleasant.
All of the boys had been notified before going
to work in the morning that they would be called
into the chapel at 1880 a. m. for an entertain
