other is via Hcmpstead II Is BELIEVED; how.
route through Washington county. From
BRENNAN the road can be continued into Bur-
Lesson county to Stone station, and here
junction could be formed with the Hearnc
and Brazos Valley road, and the two could
combine on the river bridge. Brenham Is To-
Gated about the proper distance from Houston
TO have a division point here. with round
honses and shops. and this would be OF vast
benefit to the town. II would In many ways
increase. the population and put more money
In circulation.
