The country is well watered and there is
abundance of timber for fuel and fencing;
there is also coal without limit within
thirty miles OF Dublin, and the prospects
for railroad from Dublin to the coal mines
are excellent. The road has been located
and the grade stakes driven. This road,
when built, will give Dublin coal at not
! over s.. 80 per ton, and perhaps $500.
The citizens of Dublin have fund of
100000 to offer as a bonus for factories.
This OF its self speaks well for the enter
prise and public spirit of the people-the
prospects are good to secure a cotton fac
tory in the near future.
In regard to health, there is no visible
cause for sickness. The elevation is about
400 feet above .tide-water This with nat
ural drainage insures good health.
A great variety of crops are grown. Corn
and cot,Sh are the principal Or money
crops. This is what can be truthfully
callesH good all-rOund country. 1t is fine
hoxtountry, and as corn does well, and we
n e good home market for hogs, there is
sGoney in raising Hog and Hominy"
Wheat, oats, fruit and vegetables, all
grow side by side with corn and cotton,
hence we are not compelled to carry our
legs all in one basket" The country is
well adapted to stock farming, and the
GARNER who raises a variety of crops, with
sdNesgood stock, is pretty apt to succeed
in thfssstiOn of Texas.
