A New Orleans man has a chart
disclosing the hiding place OF buried
treasure amounting to $4,000, 600 In
Brazos County, and he is going 10
hunt for II. Our idea, however, is that
he will be surer In connecting with
bacon and cornfield peas II he will
stick to his jOb-Houston Post.
Our idea is that the chart referred
TO as being in the possession OF the
New Orleans citizen. is a map OF Tex
as showing the rich county OF Brazos.
That the hidden treasure mentioned
Is the ~frultfulness OF Brazos County
soils, and the excavatlng refers to the
blowing and c~ultivating he intends ia
do to convert this fruitfulness into
concrete form.
