Our little town is located on the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fee R. R.,
16 miles north of Matigorda Bay, fac.
ing the east by the broad acres of
prairie with its nice green grass and
its beautiful wild flowers. 1t is
bounded on the north by a long track
of woods all covered with moss hang
ing to the ground, and inhabited by
birds, squirrels, ducks, and turkeys,
making good hunting place for sport
in winter, also nice place in sum-
mer 20 visit on Sunday for refresh
ment after week of toll, listening to
the gay singing of the birds, making
their sweet melodies, and enjoying the
sweet perfumes of the many kinds of
wild flowers, and to breathe the nice
cool breeze from the south just off the
big waters. Sometimes looking far
north just as the sun rises, showing it's
beautiful rays of gold, we can see the
sparkling windows of Elcampo, a nice
town ID miles off. Nice farms of cot
ton and rice land are here, on which
our farmers are busy as bees, thickly
settled by good, industrious people,
from all parts of the world, enjoy
ing the society that our vicinity
affords. Looking west on the ranches
thousands of cattle..an horses are seen
grazing on the green grass. Some
times looking over the ranches we can
see new house and farm of 40 acres
to a section, fenced in and men busy,
blowing and gardening, making It look
quite interesting for people prospect
ing in our country. All are interested
the upbuilding of our country, and the
future of it. We are about ready to
make a big show of our country by it's
green rice fields and large crops of cot
ton, and so many new fences, houses
and barns and good roads.
