Cypress Station Texas. December l6.-
| notice in your paper that the merchants
OF Houston are making great efforts TO
draw trade to Buffalo bayou and Galveston
bay, but this will be Il big undertaking
and require lots of money. 1t seems as If the
citizens of Houston are trying to catch big

of them from Washington. Waller, Grimes

some trains return from Houston and
found nearly all OF them loaded with

from one-half to two-thirds of the money
received for cotton for such articles
But how about the road on Washington

and they say II they had known such was
its condition they would have Transported
their cotton by rail- Now. II said farmers
had shipped cotton they would not have
gone to Houston TO buy what dry goods
and other articles they needed. These pea
