One thing that strikes all newcomers
is the bigness Of the country-the long
distance to the horizon. A boy would
hardly undertake to 60 to the end Of .
rainbow here to find the historic bag Of
money. But the sky does not seem
any higher nor the moon any smaller
and [ see the big dipper every night,
just as Idid at home, and I suppose
that Texas is just as near to heaven as
it is in Georgia. Indeed, it; may be
nearer, for ] have not seen but one
intoxicated man in the. state and he
was Georgian. Politics is pretty hot,
but nobody gets mad bat the editors.

he Secs Success In Waiting for the
Harvest.

This is 8 grand country and it i'm
presses you with awe and wonder. The
boundless extent Of it as you 60 miles
and miles ard see the vast area Of beau
tiful and fertile plains and not tenth
OF it occupied. by q, ybcdy. It is only
around the.towns that it is settled up.
There are millions of acres here that
can be had from s3 to 81 that will pro-
duce more grain and cotton than the
best valley land in Georgia and with
less labor Of cultivation. I saw one
farm Of 1000 acres near Brownwood
that was all in cultivation and had
1900 pecan trees on it. They are
three years old and are forty feet apart
and will be in full bearing ten years
from now. They showed their tops
just above the cotton all over the vast
area. OF course it was not an Amerl-
can who owned this farm and planted
these trees. It was an Epglishman.
An American won't wait ten years for
anything. But the Englishman plants
for posterity. He figures now for his
children that in ten years he will have
1000 trees that will average st lesst
five bushels to the tree, and as the pc
cans are Of the best variety, they will
bring 81 bushel. There is an income.
Just think oft; 100000 year and no
work to do. Oh, if I had only come
out here fifteen years ago and planted
even 200 acres in pecans; do you think
that would now be travelling thou
sand miles from home to sell my talk
for more than it is worth. No, sir, nary
time.
