MADISON COUNTY.
A METEOR AND EAGLE REP.
REsENTATIvE MIXING
WITH THETHRIFTY
FARMERS WHO
MAKE BRYAN THEIR MARKET
Notes by the Way OF Places,
People, Crops, Churches
and Schools.

To The Eagle:
| arrived in jacksonville. the
capital Of the Free State, on the
18th ult., it being the first OF my
many stops on a missionary tour
through Madison county in the
interest Of The Meteor and Eagle.
After spending a couple Of DAYS at
Madisonvills decided to begin
my work in the eastern portion Of
the county. First going to Con-
nor, thence to Midway, Elwood,
Deans Store, Hennessy, Mt.
Tabor and back 10 Madisonville to
begin anew. In these rounds |
passed over some fine farming
lands and met with many social
people who are proud Of the
county and have great faith in its
future development. The farmers
are shrewd and as a rule out-class
those who have better advantages
and facilities for marketing, and |
find them in very good shape, the
best they tell me for years. They
went sloS on credit last year and
will ask for less Of it this year, be.
lieving that the cash system is the
only means by which they can
make cheap cotton meet the needs
OF the farmer. | find also that they
have an abundant supply Of corn
and feedstuffs and nearly enough
meat to run the county. And
right here it will be in place 10
say that the farmers of Madison
county as general thing have
fine work stock and they take
great pride in good grades of all
kind. Of stock.
The county certainly surpassed
all expectations, and when it Sc.
cures a line Of railroad will rapidly
go to the front as the banner agri.
cultural county OF eastern Texas. |
Ii Is well wateIed and timbered |
its lands cheap and sold on easy
terms, and there is no reason why
it should not be settled up by a !
good class Of immigration. II has |
a fine public school system and |
the schools are 80 arranged that
they can be easily reached by the
Of each community, and |
are taught by competent and up.
to-date teachers.
/ find the people great readers,
and that The Meteor Is read by 30
per cent Of the white families oil
