Bee COUNTY AND BEEVILLE.
New Ell Dorado for Homeseekers and
Investors.

Bee county lies midway between the
San Antonio and Nueces rives, less than
100 miles southeast of San Antonio, 100
west of Houston, 60 from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, aud 200 from
the Rio Grande. The county is generally
level or rolling prairie, but well drained
aud entirely free from marshes. Black
sandy loan with clay sub-soil IS the pre-
vailing quality of soil, interspersed in
some portions With Sfry i.Eich black mes
quite land. while the soil is as rich as
any in Texas, there is none but what
contains sand enough to scour on the
pillow. Bee county will average as much
cotton to the acre as any in the state.
Picking begins q month earlier and con-
tinues a month later than in North Texas
Corn and oats grow well, never having
failed entirely. Wheat is but little
sown. The crop of natural mesquite hay
is something immense. Irish and sweet
potatoeS, melons, pumpkins and all
