Travelling Correspondence Of the Gazette.
QUASAH. Ten, April 1.-two years ago
Quanah was an insignificant little hamlet
of dirty, implanted Lighthouses. To-day she
is well-developed little city of $500 enter
prising, thrifty people, doing business in
substantial stone and pressed brick houses
and living IN neat cottages and elegant resi-
dences. Two years ago pedestrians waded
IN the black, sticky mud, for it rains here,
going from house to house. To-day they
go about comfortably on concrete side
walks. Two years ago the trav-
cling public was huddled to-
gether in sheds called hotels To-day the
traveller is comfortably quartered in one Of
the most elegant hotels west OF Fort
Worth. Two years ago farming il Harde-
man county was an experiment. To-day
100000 acres of waving wheat and growing
corn and oats prove the experiment great
success. If the present wheat crop of Har-
deman county makes the average yield and
were II all shipped at one time, ii would
require lbs trains of eighteen cars each
with 400 bushels to the car to handle it. In
other words, it would require a train
twenty miles long to handle the Hardeman
county wheat crop, and the proceeds, at 81
per bushel, viii amount to 800 for every
man, woman and child in the county.
There Will be surplus feed enough raised
in this county this year 10 fatten 100000
the circulating medium of Hardeman
county TO 500 per capita.
We have said nothing of the stock in
terest in this county, which is something
immense, and we will mention no figures
for they are as startling as true. Yet in
the face of these facts some people will
say, Il would go to that country if thought
il would rain there"
Hardeman county doesn't want your sort
to come, SO you need borrow no trouble
over that. The county is already settled
and there is not to exceed L half million
acres of unoccupied land i'll the county, and
if you come you Will have to pay from $50
to SO an acre for the best land in the
county. You can't raise anything on this
land but grain, vegetables, fruit and stock. I
Wheat hardly ever yields over forty bushels
TO the acre or oats 100 bushels, and it's
very disagreeable getting around in the
mud looking after your stock. Now, after
reading this plain statement of facts you
come at your own risk and can't hold
