RvMU*'rtiii& STandvmd: I reached tbi place throe week* ag', anil thinking that t rri*ariptloh of th#* connty, ko far an I hare Been it, might iuterefft J<nr Hiany rendera, 1 will atotc thut Weatbcrlord Ik Hiluatcd in North T*>t Texag, sixty nnlett Went of Dalhwi, en the Texas A Pacific Railroad. It hn a population ol four thousand inhabitanU, and 1h the lnrg‘Bt city west on the T Sr. P R It The court hos*e und stores arc built of brick and stone, and are large and flu*’. The dwelling houses arc new and small, built la Gothic style with three rooms. The merchant* carry large stocks and do a large business. The counties adjoining do their trading here. I find the people very s vctable and kind and advanced in the arts of civilized Ills. I have cot seen a fight, or heard of a murder since I ur rived. Tins city boasts of nine white or ganized churches, three Presbyterians, two Methodist, one Baptist, one Camp oelite, one Catholic, one Episcopal and two colored churches, one Baptist und one Methodist. It seems this is enough to civilize any town. •Since my arrival I have traveled all over this and portions of other countiea. The lands are fine and very productive. A tew days ago I saw four thousand acres of Lind in onu body on the Brazos river, that ww planted in cotton the past year which made one bale of cotton per acre. The stalks were six an 1 seven feet high. One difficulty hero is the scarcity ot la bor. First class field hands command tw*nv dollars per month, the supply not being equal to the demand at that It this State had the labor that Georgia ha**, farmers would make more than they know what to do with. Forty and fifty bushoU of corn grow per acre. 1 have not seen a single crib of corn with a cover on it. Corn cribs are built out of black jck poles to hold from three to five hundred bushels of corn each. Af ter the trib is tilled dry hay or sorghum stalks nro thrown over the top for cover ing. The smoke busses are covered, but the endh are not nailed up. Youc insee meat hanging in smoke houses ns you ride along the public road. The door is proped with a pole, to keep dogs out. Such a thing as land deeds, mortgages, bill ot sale, Ac. as security, is never heard of, but those who stand well can get all the money they want on their own paper. Some dry goods nre sold on thirty days time,and one who fails to pay promptly is hardly respected. Corn is worth here thirty five to forty cents per bushel, wheat ninety cents to one dollar. There are three merchant milts in this place all doing well. The stoe< trad j seems to be the big gest tiring in this state. Nearly every one who comes here to Hfttle goes into the took business Large herds ol horses, cuttle and sheep pass through the streets daily on their way to the ranches to be fattened for tnnrki't. The prairie is now grevn, and the stock arc beginning to look fine, especially milk cows. They never take up a cow here that gives less than three gallons of milk, and a great many give as much as five gallons daily. Most of the population hero nr© natives of Georgia and Tennessee, ami all I have talked with say this is n better state than where they emigrated from. But with all th advantages 1 have enutnern ted in referenc* to this ferine land, 1 find s ru© dejection*, the chief of them being th© water. This is what is known as lime water, it tastes like water after you have dissolved soda in it, yet I am told one will become use to it niter drinking it nwhilo and will like it. Great many here use cistern water, which I prefer, and “don't yon forget it.“ An other objection I find here is, it does not rain enough. It has been two months sinen any rain has fallen, but I am told by the citizens that if they can get ram by the nundlo ol May they will make as much as they can gather, Anbther objection is, what they term * 'northers, *• and it you were here tosany you would realize tho full meaning of the term. Two days go everybody was wearing linen, but to day they have on thtir overcoats, while out doors it is bitter cold. The wind blows ii early all the time. It lies Down every day since 1 arrived, and the dust is fearful. liow ever, with all the objections one may find to this State, 1 think more money can be made here than in Georgia. It is anew country and devclopes openings that a live energetic man can make money at, and, that rapidly, if he will just stick to business.
