DUBLIN TEXAS
By the request of friends I will write
you a short letter from this sect'on of
Texas. This country is settled up by
Georgians, Alabamians, and from Mis
sissippi and Tennessee mostly.
We have good society, pood schools
and good churches and we have preach
ing and singing every Sunday. The
land is very fertile—some of it cheap—
ranging three to twenty dollars p r
acre,owing to how close to town and
how well improved. Asa general this.g
we farmers have as good dwellings here
as you havo around Winder. Of course
lumber is higher but we make more to
hny it. Some have good barns and
most of the people are out of debt, ex
cept some few who bought homes in the
last few years are still owing some.
I know you Georgians cry “water
"ater.” So did I before I came here,
hut with the exception of four week I
absolutely say I would not turn around
ft>r the difference in the water here and
in Georgia. We turn land with two to
1 ree mules or horses You may say one
° rse farmers would have no show here,
am a one horse farmer, and plow two
°rses. one comes here and can’t buy
'nt one horse he can get another for its
et ‘d, so yon see he is all right and can
*urn his land. How much land oan one
and prepare and cultivate around Win
er - Now lam a very common hand
and can prepare and cultivate 35 acres
r c iu corn and cotton. I will plow
!! ery foot of it and plant it in 25 days.
°w long would it take yon there? I
Djw y° u ca Q gather it, but I have not
| to that yet. Now count all your
.'muling fertilizers, putting it in
- c We are just as apt to have seasons
48 y° u are > and more so of late
years.

q. “ luon Baud can do in Georgia,
your first bag goes for guauo;
It is Impossible for us to mention ail the good things we have in store for you, but will mention a few:
here I have none of that damnable stuff
to pay for. I also find it healthier here
than there. We have northeners, but not
as much cold weather as yon, and we
have a much pleasanter summer. We
have a fiue fruit country and for melons
it can’t be beat. We raised a large
number of calves for sale, which bring
ns a lot of money to the farmers, A
calf three days old brings $10.05- one
year old sl2 50. There is a large amount
of produce sold from this section to help
us farmers. I could write of a great
many more advantages here as well as
disadvantage, but. to my mind the ad
vantages far exceed the disadvantages
This country certainly suits me and I
have a lots of company in the same na
tiou. It you were here and were to go
to town on Saturdays you would be
lieve what I write. We have quite a
number from your section here. Three
of Messrs Jones, Mr. House, whose cir
cumstances are g >od, also Mr,
A. S. Wise, who has done well. I do
not advise any one to come to Texas.
Yon might not like. It suits some and
some it does not suit. Nine out of ten
stick when they come. These that try
can make a good living here and some
over. I have not written this to influ
ence you to stay where you are or to
come here, but I want to die on Texas
soil.

DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN
Another great discovery has been
made and that too. by a lady in this
country. “Diseased fastened its clutch
es upon her and for several years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital orgaus were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed inoassautly and
could not sleep. She fiually discovered
a way to recovery by purchasing of us
a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery,
for consumption, and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night and with two bottles has
been absolutely cured. Her name is
Mrs. Lu-hur Lutz ” Thus writes W.
C. Hamrnick & Cos., of Shelby, N. C.

News From Cuba.
As news from this lately freed island
is eagerly sought after; and a- my son,
Jao. B Lankford, has been in Cuba
since February last, 1 wrote asking him
questions in regard to that country.
His answers, perhaps, will be inter
esting to the readers of your paper.
What do you think of the climate of
and healthfulness of the island?
I have not been over a great deal of
Cuba, but will say for Suanajay and
surrounding country, which is about
forty miles from Havana, that the
climate is perfect, naver extremely hot
nor cold. The thermometer never rises
above 80 in the shade and blankets are'
always comfortable at night, and the
health of this section is very good.
With proper sanitary observance there
would be very little sickness here. I
have been here during the entire sum
mer and never had better health in my
life.
Is the country level?
The land for most partis nearly level.
There is a ridge of hills running through
this section and land is rolling along
the hills, but it is all very fertile.
What is the mode of farming?
There is no improved methods of
farming; they use a kind of wooden
plow. I was at Mariel a few days ago
and saw six plows in one field, two
yokes of oxen to eaeh plow—a boy lead
ing the front yoke and a man driving
the other and another man holding the
plow. So yon see it takes three to ran
one plow.
They can raise anything here that
grows in a tropical region. At this
time, they are making great prepara
tions for a large tobacco crop, I saw
the other day a train loaded of tobacco
plants, about a million and they were
grown in the mountains and shipped
here and sell for four dollars per thous
and. After the first cutting, they cut
a crop every forty days. They make
abeut five crops of corn every year.
They set out potato slips in one patch
j and gather oht of anotner. They just
' plant and gather all the year around.
The fruit grown here are the orarge.
Now wo do not claim to he giving goods away or soiling them
without a profit, but our buying facilities are such that enables us
to buy direct and at prices much Lower than our would be com
petitors, so if you consult your own interest, which wo bolievo yon
will, investigate our prices before making your fall purchases, as
wo can and will unquestionably, save yon money.
lemon, pine apple, rocoanut. mangoes,
manna zuaoo and alcota. We have uo
apples or peaches.
In many respects this is the host
country in the world, or will ba if Un
cle Sam continues to control it.
Are the people social and clever?
We have several classes of people here-
The Spaniards are the bast class; they
are very hospitable and clever. The
white Cubans are also a very good peo
ple. The Negroes are aDout like those
of the Southern statos. There is no i o
cial equality here except among a low
down class of white people, The moat
hideous looking aud degraded creatures
here are the Chinese and Negro mix
ed.
Do yon have much drunkenness?
I have not seen a drunk Cuban since
I have been here. Almost every store
sells some kind of drink but you never
see any of the Cubans drunk or in a
row. This is one of the good traits of
these people
There is no other religion hero except
the Roman Catholic, but the people
have been priest ridden until they
don’t seem to care much for religion.
There are four churches here in a ra
dius of fifteen miles. Without the
gospel no people will be morally good.
I think to send the gospel here would
be seed sown in good ground. We have
a Baptist preacher here by the name of
Stater who is a self appointed mission
ary. He has a great many friends and
I think will do much good. There is
no other missionary here and all he
receives as pay is from the Baptist
church at Albany, Ga., which sends
him six or seven dollars per month. If
our Baptist ohurches in your section
would help this brother, it would be
bread cast upon the waters that wonld,
as the good sister said, come back by
and be buttered. He is acquainted
with Bro. Joe Bennett and I mean to
write Bro Bennett setting forth his
claims. If any one wants more infor
mation on the subject let him write to

CHAMBERLAIN’S PAIN BALM
CURES OTHERS, WHY NOT YOU?
My wife has been using Chamber
lain’s Pain Balm, with good results, for
a lame sholder that has pained her con
tinually for nine years. We have tried
all kinds of medicines and doctors with
out receiving any bmefit from any of
them. One day we saw an advertise
ment of this medicine and thought of
trying it, which we did with the best of
satisfaction. She has used only one
bottle and her sholder is almost well. —
