TEXAS LETTER.
Rayner, Texas, July 25th 1899.
Editor Weekly;— My last
letter was written to you from
Hillsboro. After Luther ro
turned from his trip to Italy,
we got a team drove out ten
miles to Mr. Ivey
Mr. Buchanan at. once boarded
with Mr. McCalla in
tauglit school at
married a Miss Lester, cousin
J. K. P. Lester while at Mr.
Calla.s. He remembered, and
especially about many
the old settles that have long
since gone, and made
inquiry about lhe boy s andgii
who went to scool to him. Mrs
Ham Ain -nd. Mrs. Na ! e
A. 0. McCalla and many cfl
"How they both questioned
nbout ihe friends of long
I once boarded with them
in Texas myself in what
to me to be the long ago. 1
a fine opportunity of
Luther a little of Texas
merit. I pointed out to him
farm I bought joining Mr.
anan for $4 00 and sold it
$5.00 and it is now worth
I was one of the pioneer
of Hill Co. I gave a de^d
the land and helped to build
first Methodist church in
section, nice church, still stand
ing the people have never
gotten me for that, I really
pround to point it out to
I started the Johnson grass
that section, and am held
reraemberaoce for that,
have been cussed by many
never saw me. On our way
stopped to see an old man
memory I will evei cherish,
account of his friendship for
when a boy, (Uncle Bob Petty)
he had grown quite old,
had lost his sight. I told
howdy, when he
up and said, that ain’t Charly
Taylor, is it? he remembered my
voice, and was glad ro see me.
We crossed the county over
Aquilla. The entire country
seemed to be solid farm
that ranged from 75cts to $4
per acre when I was there
worth now from 40 to 50 dollars
per acre, We took, the cars
Aquilla bound for Cisco. After
we crossed the Brazos river
ran aloDg up Bosque and Wal
nut creeks, amid the breaks in
a very poor section of
and yet it is better than lhe best
iu Ga. I refer you to L J for his
op i n ion. The’pecan trees we
saw were wonderful, no wonder
they are cheap. Cisco is at the
motion of tho Houston jukI
Texas Contrail with the Texas
Pacific. In 93 it, was then
about the size of Walnut
perhaps a little larger, now I
would guess it is nearly as large
as Conyers and Covington “ both,
Wf |eft ci(CO for Ab l|in0 lhe
ra j] ro . J( j traveling the poorest
section following along the
breaks, climbing higher and
higher until it reaches the top
of t he plains. The lands on eith
er side of the road off a few
miles is level, and rich.
From Abaline we drove over
to Anson Jones Co., through a
very pretty fertil section of conn
try, then we spent the remain
der of the night and next morn
ing came on to Rayner. Luth
er 7 got acquainted 1 with several
of the people here. Every one,
since . they , , heard , he , was out
^.“specung seen, to be anxious
for him to return. I have nad
many to ask about him who
failed to meet him. Come back,
Lutliei! these people want you
to locate here,
We are right in the midst of
of a big railroad boom, the H.
and T. 0, railroad is being ex
tended from Albany to within
12 or 14 miles of my land, that
will be the terminus for a time
Another road has just complet
?d a survey from Abaline to
Haskell, crossing the other road
a t its terminus. At that cross
ing will be the new town of
Stanford. Thar new town to
! d ty is nothing but Prairie cov
m mesquite grass, listen,
in 5 years it. will bo as large as
Conyers and Covington combin
ed. While there is not a single
inhabitant there today, get the
census, 6 years from now,any-
1 bod v in Georgia who has a little
1 n. nev. try Stanford. Here is
something I know whereof I
speak; There is a man in this
county who has sold $5000 worth
of Beef steers since I came, he
lias a League and Labou of land
level and rich he offers to sol
for $15000 dollars can’s some
man in Ga. with means calcu
late; Now if there is a man in
Ga. that would asx my advice,
I would say to him come- If
there is any poor among you to
him I would say come, and who
soever will I verily believe it
would pay him to come.
These lands are v ry rich, and
in a few years will certainly be
very high. I wish the people of
old Rockdale well, and for that
reason I say to them come. If
you wont hear me, others will
soon occupy the places that to
day are open for you.
C. M. Taylor.
A Boy With a Budge.
No. my son, he replied, as he
j put on his hat, you can’t goto
j the cirucs.
j But why father?
Well in lhe first place I can’t
i fool away my money on such
1 things.
[ Yes but I have enough of my
own.
And in the next place it is a
rough crowd, the sentiment is
unheabhj , and no respectable
DcrsoD can countenance such
things,
But f .th—,
That’s euough, sit! You can t
K"! 1 w ant you to enjoy your
eelf but you must seek some
more raspectable amuseu mt.
An hour later a curisus thing
happened at the circus tent, A
boy climed to the top lli^lit of
seats and eatdown beside a man
who had just finished a glass of
lemonade and was lighting a ci*
gar. He had ilis plug baton
the back of his head and seem
ed to be enjoying himself huge
, y . It was father and Bon- The
father had gene straight to
grounds from dinner, the boys
had run away. They
at each other for half a minute
and then then the boy got in
the first blow bv whispering:
say dad if you wou.t lick me I
won,t tell ma where you was
here!
The father nodded his head to
the agreement and tho groat
spectacular parade in the ring
began.
