In great many respects there is
NO better place this side OF the tor
rrstial Kingdom ia which 40 live
than in good old Ellis county When
We moved here We bought a block Of
land three blocks back from the bay
front away out on southblun and
| built nice little cottage. Not a new
house in sight and not many houses
of any Kind close 60 us then, but so
rapidly has the city developed dur
ing the past two and half years
| that | can now stand on my back
gallery and count more than one
| hundred houses, and this improve
ment is only Just in the extreme
south end of the city At least $500
! houses have been built since we
moved here and from a population
OF $500 when the last census was
taken this city now numbers 11,A50
souls A census was recently taken
by our city authorities, so you see
We are not lonesome down here.
There is not vacant house In the
! town. You may ask why this rush TO
| this particular place. My answer Is,
thousands have found out what |

most healthful and delightful eli
mate in which TO live Many come
here TO recuperate and SO beneficial
| is the climate to them that they buy
land become permanent settlers.
Corpus Christi bay is one of the
prettlest bodies Of water in the Uni

| let's into the Gulf OF Mexico. 1t Is
about 1--WE miles across It either way
II and averages about fifteen feet deep
and abounds In FISH oysters used to
be plentiful but now since the great
rush We have TO 30 TO adjoining bays
to supply our needs. When we moved
! here we could buy oysters from Mex
I leans who waded out In the shallow
reefs close by the city for % cents
per hundred Now we pay so cents
! per hundred, but the fish supply
seems inexhaustible and they bite

the bay There are numbers who

bath houses here heat the sea water
and q hot salt bath is most delight
ful and refreshing.
see from the papers you nave
had fine rains In Ellis county. That
blessing has not been extended to
4
this section as yet, though n great
many have stands OF cotton up and
worked out. Some sections OF this
country have been quite dry all WIN
ter and vegetable crops In these To-
cnlities have been cut short, while
other sections have sold their cab
bage In the field for 500 per acre,
one farmer sold for $40 per acre In
the field,
There are many aged and infirm
people In Ellis county who would
be greatly benefited by spending
their winters here. We have had no
Ice here for several winters until
this winter. Two northers swooped
down upon us and gave us day or
wo of winter.
