eyes, you are right, it is something new
in Texas to sell farm lands at auction sale,
but we are going to do it just the same, -
said John Howard to a GAZETTE repre-
sentative yesterday, in speaking of the
public auction sale of farm lands to be held
at Santa Anna Tex, on June 2 and 3.
''What's the prospect for SUGGEST" was
asked
''Well.'' replied John. Judging from the
interest being taken in the sale by the peo-
pie generally, success is assured. We are
going to have good attendance at the sale
without doubt
Yes, sir. A great many people will
take advantage of the low rates made by
the Rio Grande and Santa F'e railways to
visit that section, and as we have something
good to offer them in the way of good and
cheap land, those in search of location or
an investment will make the best of it"
Corner lots, did you say?''
''No, sir. This is no town lot sale; it is
farm lands. cut up in tracts Of from eighty
acres to 800 acres, and as fine land as lays
out of doors, in or out ofTeXaS. The near
est we come 10 having town lots is some
500 acres which adjoins the town of Santa
Anna that we have sub-divided into blocks
of from five acres to forty. These blocks
are well located. and will suit those who
wish to be convenient to town"
How many acres are included in the
auction sale2" was asked.
There are about 10000 acres of the
Mahoney pasture which will be offered at

in tracts to suit farmers.
Yes, sir; we also have tract of 10000
acres which has been subdivided in tracts
of 100 acres which can be had at private
sale and on very easy terms.
You are right sir. The large land
owners and business men of the Brown

ments to actual settlers and they are adding
to their population every day
Eyes, sir, those who wish to do so can
attend the public land sale at Santa Anna
and visit Brentwood on the return trip.
This Will give an opportunity to inspect the
oil mills at that place, which, as you know,
are attracting the attention of capitalists
and experts on oil from other States.'
THE railroads have been liberal in max
ing low rates to this sale and it is but right
and proper they should Those who are
willing to cut up their large pastures in
small tracts for actual settlers and spend
money TO advertise this land, should be as
sisted and encouraged in the good work.
1T may be said and truthfully so that we
have strong combination working for the
upbuilding of the Brownwood country.
The land owners, business men and rail-
roads together are bound to succeed in
securing population and capital for that
section"
