MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1894.

The natural vineyard of the
American continent lies around
Ethe Gulf Of Mexico and the Texas
coast of that Gulf is destined to
rival the great wine producing re-
gions of the Pacific slope and Of
Europe. The work of wine produc-
ton has hardly begun, but in so
far as it has, it is a success, profit
able and promising great returns
to the intelligent wine maker. AS
to the quantity and quality of the
grapes grown, that matter has al
ready passed its experimental
stage.

All Southwest and South Texas

that faith they expect to see her step
up with her 100000 in aid of that
Gulf road. She will do so as soon
as its promoters show her capital
lists that they have the means to
push construction and meet their
pledges. When that is done the
cry will be, on to Velasco, with a
voice sufficiently clear to call that
100000 together in a very few
days.
