We had beeu told ot this central Texas laud by your wurkeia and thought w 6 had a fair idea of what we would see when we got to the laud, but many of ns were favor ably disappointed and all of us thoroly pleased with the land, believing it is well adapted to diver-a-fied farming such as we are accustomed to in Illinois and Indiana. We are satisfied that a man wbh the energy manifested in the northern farmer, exerted in this country, very profitable results can be obtained.

Some oil' ns have purchased land, others must complete arrangements for the purchase, before we are able to buy, but we all recommend this -territory to all intending purchasers for we find a -delightful climate, splendid wafer at a shallow depth pentyofraiu fall, building urarer ial much cheaper than where we now live, fuel very reasonable, cTm. ing $2.12 tor the best ot coal pei ton, school facilities are good, tural mail delivery and telephone services at your command. Yonr Pullman Palace private car enables the “homesee en’lrofray*l in perfect ease, without, being josiled and crowded as is comunrtrorr regular excursions, and to all intending purchasers, we want to ilenimneio that they go with the Booth at«. West Laud Company, and see as »*»- believe the best land tube obtained in the great State of Texas. Again thanking you we are
