have been successful, and relate actual experience. Every person who can read
and understand will profit by reading it regularly.

Mendoza, April loth, 11)02.
I\d. Ai yi;hti i r:
Thinking that some of your
readers rniuht like to hear from]
this part of the country, I will
send a few items.
This is a prairie country, and
very little timber is to be seen.
The land is black and very rich,
producing over a halo of cotton
per acre when seasonable.
This has been a very distress-
ing year on account of the dry
weather. There had been no rain
in this part of tho country since
duly 1!M >, until the 12th and 13th
uf tho present month; this rain
put every body in better spirits,
and all of the farmers are busy
planting their corn.
Water was very scarce until
this rain, everybody hauling
water from three to ten miles for
themselves and their stock.
At the closing of the school at
Clark's School House, a few
days ago many from this
vicinity attended the concert
given thnt night. The program
consisted of songs, recitations,
dialogues and select readings.
The music was fine and every-
one who attended enjoyed them-
selves immensely.
The young people have been
taking advantage of tho dry
weather and have been having
"big" times. Sociables, singings
and dances being all tho rage.
I will close by saying that tho
A DVbKTiHKK comes every week
as ii very welcome visitor and I
wish for it a long life and pros-
perity.
