OtttIe' MY stay here has been but
short time, hut l think this is a
fine country Tor a man that wants
TO farm. 1t is a broken country
here, but healthy. There is but
little sickness here. We had some.

and rented me farm. | have
good land to cultivate, but poor
accommodations about the house.
| have bought me farm now,
and will have to make another
move soon. Good improved land
is high here. 1t is all the way
from ten dollars to twenty dollars
per ace. The farm l bought is on
what is called Mallard Creek, one
mile from q little country town
called Malard, town Of two stores.

have a drug store soon. / have
bought as good farm as there is in
Montague county. 1t cost me $14
per acre with good Improvements,
a good six-room house that is we'll
finished up outside and inside, with
a good well of water III the yard.
The nearest railroad town ls 13
miles. The town is st Joe OH the

est railroad town is Is miles. a
good town on tie Fort Worth and
Denver road. The town is named
Sunset, and Bowie is on the samo
road, about Is miles. Bowie is a
good trading place; tho best cotton
market in the county.
[ have received several letters
from South Carolina inqulring
about this country, say they would
like to come here. All that | can
say to them is to come and look
for themselves; what would suit
me might not suit them. like it
alright and well enough to make it
my home. I will tell you about
how much land we cultivate. This
year we have - acres in corn and
III the chintz bugs had not struck
il we would have got fifty 0r Sixty
bushels to the acre, we viii get
forty if not more. Have got elgh-
ty-fivo or ninety acres OF cotton;
can't tell how the cotton will turn
out, but it looks well now. | got
on horse this morning and rode
down IN the cotton. The horse is
sixteen hands high and some of
the cotton came up to the top of
horses back. That is IN the val
ley; on the up land 1t is from knee
high to waist high and is as full as
it can be. There isn't any boil
weeviIs here. The boil worm may
come later on, but don't see any
now. 1t is owing TO the weather
about tho boil worm. Ii it rains
much and the cotton grows rank,
the boil worm will work on il, but
if it don't rain much, they wont
bother it much. 1 will tell YOU
later abont the cotton.
