SAN SABA COUNTY.


to say, the county was organized
in the past and so it remains OF
gained today If it has ever beer
disorganized since it was first OF
ganized in the past we cannot fine
any record of the fact. Oar opin
ion is that since it was first organ
lied which fact according to tn,
best authority we can obtain tool
place in the past, it has kept righr
along organizing all the time. But
be all that as it may we want il
distinctly understood before we
proceed with this article, that the
COUNTY WAS ORGANIZED
in the past and remains organized
yet. Then with this fact estab-
lished as a starter we can proceed.
But dear reader when it is said that
a county is organized it we're well
that you stop and reflect a bit on
what is embodied in that one word
Organized. 1t does not mean
that a few men prescribe bounda-
ries about a large tract of wild,
wasted lands and have it declared
an organized county, then after
wards have our Legislators wrestl-
ing with a bill to disorganize such
organized county. According to
our idea an organized county takes
in much. There must be
GOOD LANDS
for agricultural purposes; not one
little spot, but many acres of broad
rich, fertile, productive soil. In
this respect our county is doubly
blessed. Our rich lands, our large
valley farmes, our broad and ex-
tensive up land fields, our beauti-
full grassy prairies, mountain lands
all combine to establish the fact
that our county has as
MUCH LAND
to its size as any county in the
State. Now that may seem strange
bat when we say land we don't
mean marshes, boys, swamps, hills
rocks nor wastes; but we mean
genuine, first class, rich, fertile,
productive lands with all the es-
sential requisites necessary to
make this the leading agricultur-
al county in the State. Now ON a
question of land San Saba stands
PRE- EMINENTLY
in the lead. If any one doubts this
or thinks we are exagerating he
can write to or call on any of our
land agents. We refer to our land
agents because they generally
know more about the land than the
owners themselves do. But then
acounty with fine lands would not
do to organize unless there was
PLENTY OF WATER.
In that respect San Saba county
stands second to none, except ht-
tie Hawaii. In fact it do seem
that in the formation of this couh-
ty Dame old Nature tried her hand
at irrigation, or as most commonly
supposed she used this county as
summer watering resort while
she finished up these other counties
in this portion of Texas. We can
very truthfully say that this county
has almost a natural
SYSTEM OF WATERWORKs:
with our beautiful valleys as drain
age sewers, with our hundreds Of
bold never failing springs of pure
fresh water as orifces and nature
herself as the inexhaustible reser-
voir. The sport of fishing is a
failure where there is no water,
but San Saba county has won
reputation, on account of her nu-
merous and beautiful streams a
live with the various species Of
fishes noted as good biters,
THE WORLD OVER
as fishing resort. In proof Of
the above pAople have come here
from every state in the union,
from England, Ireland Germany
and Sweden and fshed in our
stream ms. as for what luck they had
we won't say; some people say a
plegged sight too much anyway.
So on the question of land and
water our county is o K and don't
you forget it. These two facts es-
tablished as the basis upon which
the county was organized, we can
proceed. But we will proceed
back wards first. Many years ago
when th is portion of the world was
known as the wild and woolly
west" ald bespeckled with Indians
and wild cats, some good honest
pioneers started out from their
homes we don't know where their
homes were nor are we right certain
that they hed any lint thew started
