SOUTHWEST TEXAS.
WILSON q DANIEL, THE LIVE, WIDE
AWAKE REAL ESTATE AGENTs
OF SOUTHWEST TEXAs.

Your correspondent. while sitting at
the hotel in Victoria, heard gentle-
man remark: II have spent $l75 look
ing for good place to buy land and
settle with my family. and have
ought in Southwest Texas, in Vic
toria county, and am we'll pleased
with my bargain" Upon further con
versation with this gentleman l re-
solved to find out more about the
lands of Southwest Texas, and was
directed to the office of Messrs. Wilson
g. Daniel, the live, wide awake, pro
gressive real estate agents of Sou TIL
west Texas. Upon entering their
office found Mr. Daniel engaged in
conversation with farmer from
Northern Texas. who was look
ing for land for a large
number of farmers who wanted to
come to Southwest Texas. This gen.
tleman was so fsvorably impressed
with the lands in Victoria county that
he bought for himself and secured an
option in large quantity of land for
his neighbors. He said. in the course
of his conversation to fMr. Daniel that
d number of farmers in his locality
would like to come to Southwest
Texas. but were not able to buy land.
Mr. Daniels reply impressed me forci-
? bly, as to the liberality ard big heart
edness of the people in general of
Southwest Texas and of this firm i'll
PARTICULAR He said: Tell them to
come l will rent them land ON the
most favorable terms till they are able
to buy All I want TO know is. will
they work, and if they are not able to
buy their own teams l will buy for
them" He further said, you can tell
anyone coming here to buy land; that
il they buy as much as $4,000 worth OF
the keenan, $4,000 acre pasture we will
refund their railroad fare.".
He furtherremarked: parties who
come here to buy land and come
direct to our office, or that write or
telegraph us, we will meet and take
them to the best hotels, where we have
. made special rate for prospectors.
We also have teams of our own in
readiness and will take them out any
where they wish to 60, to look at land,
free of charge whether they buy or
not"
Noting the liberality of this enter
prising FIRM and thinking that it
would interest your readers, asked
Mr.. Daniel if he would give me an
idea of what amount of land he had
for sale and if he would cut it up in
lots to suit purchasers. He cheerfully
gave ME a list and said: We will sell
in any size tracts to salt purchasers
and on as long terms as anyone can
ask" The following is a list of land
\ for sale by them:
Seventy-fiNe thousard acres in Vic
ia county. Thirty thousand acres
Jackson county. Fifteen thousand
s+es i'll Goliad county. Thirty
thousand aeresin Bee'county. Thirty
two thousand acres in San Patricio
county. Twenty-six Thousand acres
in Calhoun county.
In these counties are some of as fine
vegetable lands as can be found any
where, and they are situated i'll
the sea breeze country, famed by
cooling zephyrs. Fish, oysters,
game and a productive soil
are a new OI buc IndDy advantages
claimed Sor this section. From exper
iments made in the last four years 1T
has been fully demonstrated that Its
agricultural capabilities are unsur-
passed being especially adapted to the
culture of cotton, corn, sugar cane,
sorghum and vegetables OF every kind
The average cfep OF cotton any where
in Southwest Texas lis from three
fourths to one bale to the acre; cora
from thirty to forty bushels per acre;
and it seems to be the nome OF the po-
tato, both Irish and sweet. In TACT
vegetables of every description grow
here to perfection. There are no flneT
grapes. pears, figs, peaches and piumos
produced anywhere than here, and the
finest melons in the world are produe
edin this section of the state.
Mr.. Daniel showed me a map OF the
town OF Keeran, on the New York,
Texas aud Mexican railway. This
town is situated 40 miles northwest of
Galveston, ninety miles northwest Of
the mouth of the Bragos, 100 miles
north of Arkansas Pass, 12O miles north
of Corpus Christi. Keeran is the right
place to reap the benefits .accruing
from its eentral position and its great

This is grand place for parties hav-
ingenough money to invest, as Messrs.
Wilson 6 Daniel are offering the town
sftKeeran very low. They also have
dining this town 10, 600 acres, which
z TIL y have cut up into nti an
on hundred acre tracts,
and are offering at very reasonable
figures. $780,, .
Parties without homes or those
seeking investments will find that
they are making the mistake OF their
lives in not coming and inspecting
this section of the state and securing
for themselves good home while 1t Is
within their reach. That these lands
are being rapidly bought Will appear
by the following, which l clip from
