PROSPECTIVE HI1fZGRA-
TON FROM MISSISSIPPI.

While it is true that the greater
portion of the immigration to the
Lower Rio Grande Valley hitherto
has been principally from the northern
or western states. yet a great many
homeseekers from various southern
states have also located here, and
with the growing demand for litera-
ture relative to this section from
southern states. it appears probable
that the South viii soon be as numer-
ousIy. represented here as the North
and West. One of BrownsvilIe's prom
inent real estate agents states that he
is in receipt of a letter from an in
fiuential citizen of Mississippi. saying
that, if the proper location can be Sc
cured he viii move half of the peo-
pie of his county to the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. Though a broad claim
for one man to make. that he will
move half OF the population of one
county to this section, yet it may not
be an impossible thing. Conditions
are often such in certain localities
that the major part of the population
viii be anxious to go to other places,
with a view to lettering themselves.
The glowing reports of the prospects
and possibilities in this newly dis
covered agricultural pradise might
naturally induce theimmigration hith-
er of such a proportion Of the people
of any section. where perhaps unfor-
tunate crop conditions may have pre-
vailed or other undesirable conditions
may have arisen to make the people
long for a better location
The foregoing instance is only
one of the many in which southern
farmers are seeking information re-
garding this Valley. and as soon as
the literature requested has had time
to reach these inquirersand give them
the facts, there is no doubt that an
enormous influx of homeseekers from
the southern states will be added to
that already in progress from the
North and West.

Victoria Advocate: The sad in
telligence was received here today of
the death of Jesse o. Wheeler. edi-
tor of the Brownsville Herald, which
occurred in that city this morning at
8 o'clock. Mr.. Wheeler was one Of the
best known newspaper men of this
section and a most estimable gentle
man. and the news of his untimely
death viii be a source of great sor-
row to his numerous friends and ac-
quaintances.
Mr.. Wheeler was a son of the late
Jesse o. Wheeler, of this city, and
was born here in 1864. He was a
member of one fthe leading families
of Victoria, and his grandfather was
for years recognized as our foremost
citizen. to whom more than any one
else Victoria owed her progress in the
early days. He was the father of
Guadalupe navigation and it was due
to him that Victoria secured her first
railroad.
In 1894 Mr. Wheeler married Miss
Il annie January daughter of the late
DR.. January, and who survives him.
He is also survived by a sister and
brother: Mrs Lee Glenn, of Cleve-
land. o., and Thomas Craig of Dallas.
The funeral will take place here
tomorrow afternoon from the depot
upon the arrival of the train from
Plaeedo bearing the remains. and will
be conducted by the Btasons. Inter
ment will be made in the Evergreen
Cemetery.

Corpus Christi Herald: When
Jesse o. Wheeler wrote his last word,
put his o. K. on the proof and go"
was sent in to the Supreme Foreman,
there was removed from public life
in Southwest Texas a man whose
place will be hard to fill. Jesse o.
Wheeler was a staunch friend of this
section, and through the medium of
his valuable journal has done much
to bring about the great development
work which is now in progress in the
Rio Grande Country He was a pot
ent factor in this work because he
realized that much more good could
be accomplished in telling the truth
regarding the wonderful latent re-
sources of his country than by exag-
geration. for when the newcomer
came and found facts as represented
he was satisfied. Conservatism was
one of his strongest characteristics,
hence what he said through the col
umns of his paper counted. De-
ceased was a native Texan, and the
writer, then a typo. first met him Is
years ago at his old home in Victoria.
As said before. Jesse - Wheeler
