Editor Butler Rrrald : Feeling
u warm interest in Taylor county,
and its inhabitants, I will write a
short letter for the Herald, hop
iug you will have the kindness to
publish the same, as it may iuter-
est some.
1 will begin with a discretion
of Weather lord and Parker coun-j
tr, M it appears to me. I will ] gleearuestly and courngmg y with
dwell moatly on iU agricultural ‘he evils by which they have been
propensities being a farmer uiyself . encompassed. Each year pro-
and knowing the first questions claims a new victory, aud is but
that always arise on contemplate I ‘he precursor ol greater aud more
ting emigrating to a new country
are, the productions of the soil.
Weatherford is a nice little town,
situated on an elevated tract ot
land. It has twenty-five hundred
inhabitants, being on the line of
the proposed Texas and Pacific
Railroad. It has the prospect ol
becoming a large city in the dim
lutnre, in fact, the star city of the
Weet. Parker county is composed
of three kinds of land. Mouutai us,
valleys, and praraires. The val
ley* are very rich, having a soil
varying from five to ten feet in
depth, and will produce a bale
of cotton to the acre, or from fifty
to seventy-five bushels of corn,and
from twenty to fifty bushels of
wheat. The paraircs are also very
rich, but does not have a soil as
deep as the valleys. It it more
adopted to the growth of wheat
although it will produce corn or
cotton well. The health of this
prat of Tpas is as good as any
where under the tan. Mills, gins,
churches, and schools,are as thick
as they are in Geergia. Wheat
crops are short here on account, ot
the dry spring, and will no( aver
age over twenty bushels to the
acre. Wheat it now worth sixty
cents per bushel, with a prospect
of tl>e new crop 'not being worth
over fitty cents. Corn and cotton
is the best I ever saw for this time
of the year. Corn it in full silk
and tassel. The farmers as a gen
eral thing,are abeut done “laying
by" and are busily engaged iu
thrashing wheat. Horses are very
cheap kere. Tou can buy a good
hetse for twenty-five dollars, Ev
ery thing is as cheap and many
things a great deal cheaper than
in Georgia. We have a good many
Taylor county folks here, Among
whem are William Chew, Bartlet
McCrary, Leonidas McCrary, Wil
liam Jordan, and many others,too
numerous to mention. We learn
that several of our Taylor county
friends anticipate moving West
this tail. We would suggest that
they cannot move to a bettor jilaot
than North-west Texas, For good
laud, plenty ol water aud goon
health.
