COME DOWN NEXT WINTER.

Texas IS Just entering upon a regular ag-
,cl.,ural boom-no doubt of it. Her peo-
"a haze been feeling that way through
s.rarg. ears past, and with each succeed
,-y ear the feeling has been more pro-
,C-r,.a. And now have come the excellent
.-,,, Of the present season to set it off
-,5-5 4 rel-h: so stand from under, We old
,-... who say farming cannot be made to
~. The progressive people of Texas are
mug 10 show up your mistake Tor what
.-sr else one might see fit to call it, by
,~.rti.... demonstration. More land will be
,.5- .1dy for the plow in the course of
he next winter than ever before charac-
.s--.G the same length of time in the his
nv. Of any safe Of the Union. Every indi-
c...aa seems to be plainly pointing in that
erection.
a.r -rea,est trouble for the coming win
,.r,T.' be found in deficiency of good and
s-o reliable farm labor. How are we to Sc
c..r.. lila. necessary adjunct to our proposed
-.5,ressa We have Just thought up plan
s,-re..ef which. in our opinion, would work
...t,. decided advantage of all concerned if
,.al.r. !yospd after. Here in Texas our
r--.r months ara extremely mild. At the
N.,-l -rrr would be regarded as season
n delightful springtime. They are our
b.s- WORKING months Of the year, while the
same months in the upper states are months
ri comparative idleness-nothing in partic-
p.rt,a5 for the reason that the weather is
,s.,,..o o admit of doing much of anything.
Upon ,gesa ~ell-knrwn facts we have
b.ssc orr plal, which is to invite our
Northern friends, especially the young
MI To- come down and spend their winters
nfsratlou" working on our farms during
N. time when their own farms are locked
rpft r., and snow. With the first wild
ra.g,. .f sprlng they could return to their
,..--F- homes, and their farms would
real. not know that they had been absent.
The arrangement would be pleasant
chang. from the monotOny of a Northern
winter Il kind ofrecreation-to say nothing
off,, p-oarableress in dollars and cents TO
taera..-c.
We could not hesitate TO believe that
thousand, would thus spend the winter in
Texas il the matter was properly laid be-
fore them luda few favorable arrangements
made for their transportation. The thing
should BE- a.itated. for there are the best of
reason, for believing that it would prove
We worth he trouble.
For uur own part we can see nothing that
eo.d be- URGED against ii in either section.
What If it I'D render the young men of the
North d little migratory in their habitsl
L woa.d moi hurt any OF them to see more
Of ,ac world than is visible from the tops of
their rus and so far as our side of the
question is concerned, we have no fears
that THEN coming could in any way be any
thing WEaeye against Texas. We want
among us, As long IS they will stay, thOus-
au4s Of such Young men as would have en-
rrgv enough about them to prompt the car
ryiug out q such suggestion as we are
masking lie. Us invite them down for the
winter 70 become acquainted with Us and
make some rooney for themselves. The ac-
cu4utanye would do us all good. If such
al arrangement had been working over the
South generally in the times preceding
thrtr years ago, American history would
toiay exhibit broad blank where some of
rs mos, closely written pages are-the
more we know nf each other the better it
Is for all parties
