Farming lands of good quality can be pur-

the price being dependent upon locality and
improvements—and can be rented at'from

other products. Land owners will furnish
tenants with land, houses, teams, farming
utensils, feed for team and seed for planting
tor one-half of the crop, ami will advance
provisions to be paid for out of the crop.
The health of this county is exceptionally
good; no where in the county are there any
local causes for sickness; the heat of the sum-
mer.sun is tempered by ihe breezes from the
Gulf, laden with moisture. Germans and
immigrants from the Northern States can and
do labor in the field without suffering from the
heat. A case of sunstroke has never been
"known; while the knights are uniformly cool
and pleasant.
Many varieties of garden vegetables grow
during the entire year; Irish potatoes, Eng-
lish peas, etc.. are ready for the table by the
first of April; tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., are
abundant by the fifteenth of May; roasting
ears, sweet potatoes, watermelons, peaches,
etc., are in market by the ftrst of June; dew-
berries, blackberries and strawberries are
abundant in April and May. An industrious
farmer can live luxuriously 011 the products of
the orchard and garden, with no expense Oth-
er than the labor expended in the cultivation
of the soil, 'fiie use of manure in field culture
is nnknown and seldom reouired for the gar-
den.

The county seat, with a population of 5000 In-
habitant, is situated upon tlie Western Branch
of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad,
9(> milos east of Austin, the capital of the .State,
70 miles north-west from Houston, 120 miles
from Galveston, the principal sea-port of the
State, and 800 miles South from st. Louis,
having communication by rail with each ot
the piaces named by two daily trains. The
railroad facilities will soon be increased by
the completion to this place of the Gulf, Colo-
rado and Santa Ke Railroad, which will con-
nect the Pacific Railroad with Galveston.—
The Methodist, Baptist, Episcopalian, Pres-
byterian, Christian, Catholic and German
Mtehodist, have places of worship. A Public
Free School, with graded classes, a corps ot
teachers and an average daily attendance ol
800 scholars, is in successful operation. A
commodious school building, with all the lat-
est educational improvements, is soon to be
erected. Several accomplished musicians in-
struct classes at private rooms. A literary
society meets weekly for reading, music and
conversation, and extends a cordial invita-

migration from the I'./st settlement of the pro-

not been excelled by that of my part of the

rich agricultural resources, and the various

ital town and numerous villages have kept
pace with the development of the countv, and
is but a fair indication of the entire countv.
The population of the countv having been
drawn from almost e\ery Stote" in the Union,
and evory county in Europe the immigrant
will find friends and a hearty welcome in ev-
