Dear Mr. Editor: I bave been very busy for the last lew days, and 1 am afraid this letter will arrive loo late for your next lusae. As I told you1,1 arrived In Meridian a very tired man, bat Bob and my sisterln-law made It exceeedlngly pleasant during my short stay of twelve days. I devoted most of my lime 10 Quoting pecuu-iaueu iojt uquirrom, catching channel cats In the Bosque, which Is famous for Its channel cats,?and gathering pecans. The crop of, pecane this year Is simply out of sight and the flavor Is exquisite. The result of this program Is a train of one pound per day, and I feel now like a school boy home on bis vacation, as full of life as Ben Tillman Is of demagoguery. About twelve or fifteen years aeo there was a large gathering of bloated bondholders and capitalists from the East looking Into the capabilities of the West and Southwest. A keen, shrewd unscrupulous, capitalist, Jay Gould by name, rose in the meeting remarking: i "I learn from a friend that Mr Thomas Davis, who is authority upon Texas, is present If so, will Mr. Hill stand up. If agreeable to Mr. Bill I would like to ask him a few questions in regard to the Lone Star State." An old gentleman rose to his feet 'remark* lot: "Mr. Gould, I am'the man and, will take pleasure in giving you any information in my power In regard to the Lone Star-State." "Mr. Davis, bow long have you resided in Texas?" . "Forty years,, air." "Mr. Davis, In yonr Judgment what county or ?ection has the best water and the moBt of it?" ? Booque county, sir." "What county Is best adapted to the raising of vegetables, poultry, hogs and fruits?" "Bopque county, sir." 'What county, Mr. Davis, do yon think sheep, &a?'' 'Boeque county, sir." 1 "What oounty do yon think the healthiest ?" "Bosqne county, sir." It may Bbund strange that a county In the so called dry State of Texas should grow such a LumerouB variety oMblnge needed by the human family, but I find upon a close ancl patient Investigation of the claims of Mr. Davis for his favorite county, of Bosque, which Is the Identical opinion now of Bob, Is not far wide of the mark. Bosque county, central Texas, is, in my Judgment, for the farmer, planter and cattle man combined, as near a paradise as Texas can afford. The county has six towns, each large enough to sustain its own newBoaper, and one town with two?Meridian. The Bosque Valley running nearly east and west Is fifty-two miles long, and from one to five miles wide, and the crops on It this year are simply immense and overwhelming. As an Illustration I will give you the result of one interview out of a 6core that I had with farmers In this beautiful and magnificent Bosque valley.

It Is true the seasons have been the best for twenty years, yet the crop suffered both on account ot too much rain atone time and not sufficient later on during the growing season. This Is a fine showing for 19C acres of land: a magninceni snowing compared wlib crops grown in the Gulf and Atlantic Slates east of the Mississippi. Mr. B'e balance sheet would have shown up some seven or eluht hundred dollars better bad he planted wheat, but this crop be neglected laHt fall. Land in this beautiful valley Is out of sight, These Itaw-Hlders know a good thing when they see it, and I advise no one without at least five thousand dollars in capital to come out here.
