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. a ve.ii*p‘ 1.
