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, so from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, and 200 from
the Rio Grande. The county is generally
level or rolling prairie, but we'll drained
and entirely free from marshes. Black

vailing quality of soil, interpreted in
some portions with very, rich black mes

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 q 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
kinds of vegetables grow to great pertso-
ton. Pears, peaches, plums, aprioots,
figs, oranges, bananas, strawberries,
raspberries and all kinds OF small fruits
grow remarkably well, as demonstrated
upon the market fruit farms that are
being opened around Beeville. Bee
county has plenty of timber for fuel aud
fencing About three-fourths OF the coun-
ty is susceptible of cultivation, though
less than 10 per cent. is now cultivated.
Raising of cattle, horses aud mules has
been the chief occupation OF the people
until 1890, when the farm average has
been tenfold increased. Much attention
is given TO improving the breeds, and
stock farming is destined to be the lead
ing industry. The billiards. chilling

Professor F. a. Albert Of Houston, an emf

July during the summer vacation. The pro-
lessor 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.

scarcely noticed the heat of the sun. It is very

1t is along the lines of this road that South
west Texas offers such inducements to settlers
as would, if fully understood, rapidly Eli this

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-

country through which it passes in which
farming operations cannot be successfully
carried on. Fruits, grapes, vegetables and

sites for new houses in order 10 obtain the
benefit Of the high rents which have fol-
lowed from the restriction of the corporate
limits. and the resulting restriction Of all

The policy of Richmond should now be TO

would have considerable influence in
