LETTER TOT ® EDITOR
Brantley Enterprise
Nahunta, Georgia
Dear Editor:
We returned from a visit with Mr. and Mrs. John H. Travis
of Houston, Texas, and we want to share our experiences with
your readers.
The trip served a double purpose, a delightfv’ vacation, also
a geographical and historical refresher course!
Texas is truly a land of contrasts. The super highways with
four tier exits stacked as a layer cake, lead to landscapes of
scenic grandeur, adventure and colorful legend.
The state gets it’s name from an Indian word ( tejas)
meaning friendly — The State motto is Friendship. Visitors
are aware of th's warm hospitality as they experience a gen
uine Texas, “ Howdy ” welcome !
Our gracious host and hostess gave us a tour of the following
places of outstanding interest. Texas City, in the heart of
oil wells and refining industries. Countless pumps continue
to pump the “ Jed clampett ” Texas Tea as we watched the
shaft going down 16,000 feet into the earth.
Next came Galveston, the much romanticized " Island City ”
of the song writers. Here we saw authentic Palaces along
side structures of modern times I
Then Goliad the third oldest town of the State, and site of
significant battles, etc. !
On to “ Laredo ,” the oldest independent city and the port
of entry into Mexico. Laredo offers fascinating exhibits of the
greatest variety. The drive from Houston to Laredo treats the
visitor to an amazing view of the wide open spaces. Literally
thousands of acres of wasteland covered only by cactus, ( cacti),
Sagebrush, Mesquite and the drifting tumble weed. This spars
ley populated area would occasionally iiave a typical longhorn
cattle ranch, complete with the bunk houses, loading ramps,
wind mill etc. Seemed as though the Ben Cartwright family
could be the occupants ! CONT. NEXT WEEK
In 1930 the electricity to run
a vacuum cleaner half an hour
cost three cents. Now it’s only
a penny . You could clean up
with a value like that.
♦Based on Georgia Power’s average price per residential
kilowatt-hour. It's 20 percent below the national average.
