HOME FROM
SOUTH AFRICA


Waxahachie, Ellis Co., Tex.
Aug. 3o.-George S. Wylie
has arrived here from johann
nesburg, Africa, where he has
been for the last two years in
mining business. He has been
on the road since April I, and
says his ticket cost him in the
neighborhood of $500. Wylie
thinks the Transvaal will de
yelope into a splendid farming
country as soon as American
farming implements can be in
troduced. At this time most
of the inhabitants are occupied
in the mines and little attention
is given to farming. What
corn is planted is sown broad
cast and natives are hired to
cultivate it, He says the lane
reminds him of Ellis county,
soil, but that it is much rough
er.
