—Yes, it is true that a lively,
wide-awake boy can find enough
old iron lying around to buy him
a circus ticket. Most any thing
is old iron at such times.
—A woman is very much like
a kettle, if you come to think of
it. She sings away so pleasant-
ly -then she stops—and, when
•you least expect it, she boils
bvet1.
—^ French philosopher de-
fcl&fes that much more depends
bn how a woman wears her dress
thaft oh what it is made of, and
pn how a man talks than on what
ihe says.

—The Humane Society of Ver-
mont proposes to give a medal
to the horse that kicked a book-
agent to death. Such a horse
should have plenty of oats and
hot me meddled with.
One @f the saddest sights in
the world is to see a proof-reader
wrestling with a foreign dispatch
containing such names as Roust-
chouk, Kastamuni, Adramyti,
Bahr-el Merdj, Jalomitza, Dob
rodja, etc.

A man was rushing down
town the other day with his
hands rigidly extended before
him about a foot apart. A friend
asked him: “Where are you
going so fast f” Said he : “Don’t
stop me ; I have got the measure
of a box.”

The Family Horse.
There are some horses upon
which it is almost impossible to
fix a money value. We do not
allude to the time-smashing class
to which Dexter and Goldsmith
Maid belong, but the gentle
going family horse, which will
do his work in all kinds of
weather, who will permit the
children to fondle him, and who
will not attempt to kick or run, j
no matter what may happen, I
when your wife pulls the lines
over him, is a horse not to be
measured by the gold standard.
He is a daily comfort, a perma
nent joy, and a heter investment
than a life insurance policy. A
few days ago we heard a gen
tleman grow eloquent over a
horse which he formerly owned.
Tom was a bob-tailed bay, not
pretty to look at, hut strongly
muscled, elastic in motion, and
with a grandly expressive head
rising Horn his shoulders. He, ,Tl_ liir L cv v,
could strike a gait on the road ! corner ot Taylor. 3-1

patiently for his master to make ! txtcjtty. a -Km-m * ^ ™
« business call here and there.
No hitching was required for
him. Throw the lines over the
dashboard and tell him to stand
and you were sure to find him,
atter an absence of hours, where
you had left him. One night
his owner dined at the house of
a convivial friend. Over the
wine and cigars the hours slip-
ped away, and when the guest
was ready to depart it was past
mid-night, pitch dark, and rain
ing hard. Moreover the wine
had got the better 6f him. Tom,
wet, chilled and hungry, had
waited the appearance of his
master. The gentleman climbed
into the roomy top-wagon,
shouted “git up,” and then
dropped his bauds, leaned back,
and fell asleep. Without a pi-
without a word of encour
agement or caution, Tom plod-
ded through the rain, the mud
and the darkuess four miles.
He found the gate open aud
dragged the wagon through it
and up the rainbow drive to the
mansion front, where it stopped.
The gentleman was awakened
by the hand of the black ser-
vant, who had received instruc-
tions to sit up and wait for him.
Well may you exclaim, “A
knowing, trusty horse, and
worth a king’s ransom to any
one whose worldly circumstan-
ces make the payment of such
ransom a possibility F’ Tom is
dead, but his portrait hangs
against the library wall, and his
memory is kept green by those
he loved so well.
c TheMain or Salt Fork of Brazos Biver
rosses its West boundary line near the X. W.
corner and passes diagonally through the
county with a frontage of about 100 miles.—
The famous
CLEAR FORK OF BRAZOS RIVER
flows from the Southwest through the South-
west part of the county for a distance of about
20 miles. Its water is pure, clear, abounds
with lish, passing over a rock aud pebble
bed. Its banks lined with Pecan trees, the
valleys generally large, rich and fertile. The
more important of
THEIR TRIBUTARIES
aro Dry, Elm, Spring, California, Camp,
Deep, Pleasant, Rock, Fish and Salt Creeks.
MINERALS, METALS AND COAL.
Here is the true coal lield of Texas, as yet
undeveloped, hut now known to have from 3
to 7 feet depth of stratas, and most of it fro
actual test of superior qualty, of both Bitu-
minous and semi-block, Coal, Iron, Copper,
Lead, Alunm, Salines, Brick and Eire Clays
are extensively deposited and when developed
will surely prove a great source of profit to
owners, and a large benefit to the farming
and other interests.
TIMBER AND SOIL.
Pecan, Elm, Haekberry, Cotton-wood,
Live and Post Oaks and Mesquite constitute
the principal timber, and available for fuel,
fencing and house framing purposes. Pine
lumber at small expense, is obtained from the
nearest Railroad. Quarries of both Lime-
stone and Freestone abound and are so even
ly stratified and cross seamed that all are
suited for fencing, with a large percentage
fitted for house Avails without the use of a
square or stroke of a hammer.
HEALTH AND WATER,
Of au elevation of 1,600 feet above the ocean
and from 500 to 1,000 feet greater than Saint
Louis, Memphis, or the black land belt East
of it. An absence of swamps or marsh ami
great remoteness from them. With pure,
bracing air, is a warranty against malarial
diseases, and of immunity from almost every
ill, which with its springs of healing water,
invite and becoming better known" will at-
tract invalids from other lands for a renewed
lease of life. Most streams supply excellent
fresh water. Well water is generally ob-
tained in abundant supply at from l‘i to 35
feet.
ITS GRASSES—AS A STOCK COUNTRY.
Here, all varieties of the Mesquite grasses
abound and attain perfection—the oat, rve,
curley, mellow, Mire and blue, possess a
marvelous degree of richness, which matur-
ing in the order of their various species, sup-
ply pasturage without intermission. This
| region iu the hot weather months is more ex-
! erupt from stock-11 ies than any other States,
[ therefore the growth of young" and fattening
| of old stock is less retarded, all of which
| with mild winters render it a superior region
j for cattle, horses, sheep, goats and hogs,
j which thrive and reach a marketable age, at
but a fraction of what they would cost raised
I in the Northern States.
! SOIL, PRODUCTS AND SOCIETY,
i The soils of both valley and upland from
| color, are denominated Gray, Chocolate and
I Mahogany and generally rest upon a tine
I tenacious subsoil from red to Vermillion in
color, all are rich, friable, easy tilled and
pleasant to dwell upon, travel over or culti-
vate, even curing long wet spells, and resist
drought to a degree that crops can here be
made with an amount of ruin that would work
litter failure in the Northeastern States. They

from the Mexican border, and entirely free
from Mexicans, Indians; ami desperadoes
and has been for three years, this to any and
all contrary reports.
SUMMARY.
Its arable lands are estimated at nine-tenths,
about three-fifths prairie and two-fifths tim-
ber. The rougher part of the county is the
South and Southeast. Half the county has
been surveyed in 320 acre tracts. It has a
substantial Court House, and good county
officers. It is out of debt having a surplus of
funds, which however, will he required to
build a jail. The elements of society are first
rate, and compare favorably with the best of
any other county. In 1874 live or six families
comprised its population, which in July 1876
were estimated at 3000, and at this time (Jan.
16, 1877,) at nearly twice that number, with a
constant incoming of Immigrants and increas-
ingarea into cultivation. The past two years’
crops have been good with high average of
yield and most excellent quality of every thing
planted.
ITS FUTURE.
In a pleasant, salubrious and recuperating
climate, with an extensive area of farming
lands rapidly being put into cultivation,
which experience anil test thus far prove to
abundantly yield of almost everv grain, fruit
and staple" that have been tried, " and for all
kinds of stock unsurpassed, with deposits of

ITS PROGRESS.
Rapid and large incoming of farmers,
stock raisers, hunters, artisans and capital
gave almost magic impetus to its growth and
thru,—an animated, healthy, substantial ad-
vancement of every branch of industry aud
business, which local aud far-reaching ex-
traneou causes and influences will likely in-
c ea e with certain and enduring force. In
almost the limit of the past eight months (now
•Jan. 1877,) it has attained manv comfortable
and cosey dwellings. Stores of General Mer-
chandise, Family Groce 'ies, one Drug Store,
one Bakery aud Restaurant, two Hotels, two
Shoe Shops, one Saddle and Harness Shop
Blacksmith and Wagon shop, Machine, Gun
and Tin shop, Steam Flouring, Saw anil Cot-
ton Gin Mills, Post Office, District and Coun-
ty Clerk’s and Surveyor’s Offices, Education-

used for church purposes. A season. At this
time 24 houses are in course of building, and
aline opening presents for a Tannery, Pot-
tery, Woolen Mill, Hotel,, implement and
other shops, v'idi an increase of other branch-
es to profit. “Let all that will, come.”
The Movixg World, ntav now come here
with a certainty that by the time they can get
farms and ranches in good working order,
they will have the convenience of some or all
the several railroads that are chartered to
cross this region viz: The Texas & Pacific,
1 rails-Confine ital, Atlantic & Pacific, Waco
and North-Western, Houston & Denver and
Galveston & Sante Fe, and that meantime all
products will find a ready market at high
prices. It is obviously best that Emigrants
to Texas should Settle North of 31 and one
half degrees—the equal of any other section
for all kinds of stock, as good for corn and
cotton and better for fruits and the small grain
which are not troubled with weevil. For
greater convenience and safety and besides
