STRANGE ik COMPANY, Leaders in Style, Regulators and Controllers oi Low Prices 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. t J.* UV ° een Bore f° ur yeara and out of >s ti me OQe y ear w j leu W 0 on iy ma( j e 1 • ag cotton per acre and corn has come under 20 bnshels per acre and Q P to 45 bnshels. i ‘‘ ave f?iven yon what a common t. / , Cau c ‘° ere au d y°'i can calculate • j suit yourself. Yon know what 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. A. R. Delay. 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. Trial bottles free at Wm lor D.a; Cos WINDER, JACKSON COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1899. Dress Goods!

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 J. B. Lankford, Guanajay, Cuba. M. V. B. L.
