Summerville, Ga., Dec 30, 1896
Entared at Summerville P. O. as a«<
>s<l class matter.
ANGLETON, TEXAS.
Dear Editor:—l will try to
write a few lines to my old county
paper. When I find a copy of the
News I feel like I had found an
old Georgia friend. There is not
a letter, ad, or anything in its
bright columns that is left over.
If any one wants tc appreciate his
home paper just let him get off
about 2,000 miles from home.
I tl ink this is the garden spot
of the world. Angleton is a new
town, county site of Brazora coun
ty. Angleton is 10 miles from the
coast, 2 miles from Bastrop Biyou
situated on the I. & G. N. railroad.
The county is to build a new court
house, commencing next month.
There are thirty new houses going
up and more to be built right a
way. It has a groat future ; I lived
in north Texas this year. It is a
beautiful country, but land is too
high; it runs from $35 tos6o per
acre; you can get land in this
county from $3 to $lO per acre,
just as good as Grayson county
land. This year it made from f
to 2 bales per acre. I have just
been down on Mr. Johnson’s farm ;
he raises Sea island cotton and
had 40 acres in this year and has
done gathered 35 bales and sold it
for 14 cents per pound.
They are shipping strawberries
every day. I had green English
peas for dinner. Beautiful flowers
are in full bloom; what a delicious
country to live in where you can
have fresh vegetables every day in
the year. I believe land here will
bring not less than S6O in eight
years time. People from all points
are coming to this country and it
is strange to me why it has been
neglected this long.
This is a healthy country. They
will have to kill somebody to start
a grave yard. We have the sea
breezes here and the doctors have
all left to keep from starving to
death ; they said there was enough
salt in the sea breeze to keep off
sickness.
I took a pleasure trip to the
beautiful city of Galveston last
week, went out sailing on the deep;
what grand scenery it was to me.
I would like for some of the
good people of north Georgia to
come out here and get good homes
while the land is cheap; if any out
there wish to know any more snout
the country write to me and I will
take pleasure in giving them any
information that I can. My post
office is Angleton, Brazoria county,
Texas, box no. 54.
You will find enclosed SI.OO for
which send me the Summerville
News. T. H. Scogin.
We know of but one community
in the world where dyspepsia is
practically unknown, and that is
the Shakers of Mount Lebanon,
N. Y. These good people have
been studying the su 1 ~’v,t of diges
tion for more than hundred
years, and that they understand it
pretty thoroughly, is evidenced by
the foregoing fact. Their Diges
tive Cordial is the safest and best
remedy in cases of indigestion that
we know of. A trial bottle can be
had through your druggists for the
trifling sum of 10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial
supplies the system with food al
ready digested, and at the same
time aids the digestion of other .
foods. It will almost instantly
relieve the ordinary symptoms of
indigestion, apd no sufferer need
be told what these are.
Laxol is the best medicine for
children. Doctors recommend it
in place of Castor Oil.
TELOGA, GA,
A large amount of cord wood i
and cross ties are being hauled to
this place. The switch yard is
completely blockaded so nothing
mere can be put near the track.
Messrs Henry and Lee Neal
made a eusiness trip to Rome last
week.
Captain C. C. Ham, the popular
drummer f or Trigg, Dobbs and
Compai y, of Chattanooga, was
here last week.
A. M. Street of Summerville,
was here last week on business.
Master Dod McConnell went to
Chattanooga last week on business.
W. W. Hanson of Dry Valley,
moved to his farm near here last
week.
Willie Layton went up the way
to see his best girl Sunday.
Our people did not seem to take
any interest in the election here
last Wednesday; only four votes
was polled.
J. W. Layton had cccasion to be
away from home recently after the
rest of the family had retired and
while he was thought to be yet ab
sent Mrs. Layton raised the alarm
that burglars were trying to get
in her room. Willie soon respond
ed to her call and having no weap
ons convenient, he was determined
to drive the burglar away and
grabbed a large heavy trunk and
made for a window and found it
to be his father who had returned
and knowing Mrs. Layton was eas
ily frightened decided to have
some fun at her expense.
Success to the News.

Thin, Pale
Children
One satisfaction in giving
Scott's Emulsion to children is
they never object to it. The
fact is, they soon become fond
cf it. Another satisfaction is
because it will make them
plump, and give them growth
and prosperity. It should be
given to all children who are
too thin, or too pale. It does
not make them over-fat, but
plump.
It strengthens the digestive
organs and the nerves, and fur
nishes material for rich blood.
We have a book telling you more on
the subject. Sett free for the asking.

VIfONDERFUL are the cures by
WW Hood's Sarsaparilla, and yet they
are simple and natural. Hood’s Sarsa
parilia makes PURE BLOOD.
Sales
With Hood’s Sarsapa- B£3SI g p
rilla, “ Sales Talk,” and M €3 I
show that this medi- “ 3st
cine has enjoyed public confidence and
patronage to a greater extent than accord
ed any other proprietary medicine. This
is simply because it possesses greater
merit and produces greater cures than
any other. It is net what we say, but
what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does, that tells
the story. All advertisements of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, like Hood’s Sarsaparilla it
self, are honest. W T e have never deceived
the public, and this with its superlative
medicinal merit, is why the people have
abiding confidence in it, and buy
Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Almost to the exclusion of all others. Try it.
Prepared only by C. I. Hood & Co.. Lowell, Mass.
, , ~ are the only pills to tike
