The following letter was received |
today:
Monte Christie, Texas, May % 10
Mr.. Geo. Kellogg,
Friend George:-Your letter of some
time ago received and was glad to hear
that you and Hayes arrived home al
right Sam and are we'll, weather is
fine down here in Texas now, not so
very warm but pleasant and breezy;
had two good rains down here lately,
had one on the 18th, rained half a day
and also heavy rain on the 23rd, so
you see we are feeling good down here
ground wet over three feet down
where we have plowed. This Is not
fiction, It's q fact have bored down to
see: cane knee high and some of our
first planted cotton showing bulbs
nearly ready to bloom. We have
plowed it three times, and some of the
people near Mission have gathered one
crop of vegetables and have another
one up, man shouldn't get discour-
aged here should he? And the word
discouraged now brings to mind what
[ want to write you more particularly.
Through letter received the other
day from you by Mr.. Copeland, you
stated there was a report, or should
rather say hear-say around Audubon
that Sam and | were discouraged
down here and were coming home.
Now George / think that | am in my
right mind this morning lam up a lit
tie early for [ want to go to Mission
today and that thu report you have
heard is, to make it plain. q lie and if
you hunt up from whence it came you
will find it so. [ have liked the coun-
try here from the beginning and have
not changed my mind. Without lrri-
cation we can raise two crops, 1 say
two and [ mean it, when planted in
time. Copeland's cane is now heading
out, and what is to hinder it from
making another crop of hay and will
surely make 21a tons per acre if not
more, and will sell as readily as corn
Hay is only $25 90 a ton now and am
sure hay of any kind will be good
price; this that | speak of is dry farm
ing. Then what can be done with irri-
cation; you can raise any and every
thing you want to and l will say in
closing | firmly believe during the
12months of year that we can raise
three crops. Should then a man get
discouraged in country like this and
climate unsurpassed and will say
again the report is false, absolutely
false.
| Sam and / are coming home some
time next month as told you when
you we're here. You can read this to
anyone. Am improving my land as
fast as can and am going to buy
some more land Monday for my boys
who are in Canada, so good bye,

A Woman's Great Idea

is how to make herself attractive. But,
without health, it is hard for her to be
lovely in face, form or temper. A weak,
sickly woman will be nervous and irrit-
able. Constipation and Kidney poisons
show in pimples, blotches, skin erup-
tioas and wretched complexion. But
Electric Bitters always prove godsend
to women who want health, beauty and
friends. They regulate stomach, liver
and kidneys, purify the blood; give
strong nerves, bright ey es, pure breath,
smooth velvety skin, lovely complexion,
good health. Try them. SOC at Winfrey
