The special car Rice, Of the
American Rice Cereal company,
left yesterday with its load of thir-
ty-fve northern prospectors who
were down to take note OF the
superior advantages offered by this
section. The car was attached TO
the regular train and was in charge
of Messrs. Herbert and Jno. Hurd
of the Rice Cereal company land
department. This department IS
devoted to the development and
settling of desirable localities and
has recently turned its attention to
the Brownsville country, where de-
velopment is so much needed. The
success attained in other less favor
ed sections leads US to hope they
will meet phenomenal success in
this region. The company makes
bi-monthly trips to this section,
bringing each time from 20 to IS
prospectors from the north, who
are on the lookout for desirable
land, and are prompted by a de-
sires to escape the rigorous north
ern winters. They find soil here
as productive as the far famed
valley of the Nile, and climate
which makes unnecessary the foun-
tain of youth for which Ponce
de Leon searched in vain. We in
vite you to come, buy tract OF
land and receive free all the climate
you can use in your business.
