STATE AND GENERAL NEWS.
Washington County is situated in latitude
[ 30s north, and longitude 1)1 i- west. The
| Rrazos river forms its eastern ami the Yegua
1 creek its northern boundary. The county eon-
! tains an urea 1 about WO,000 acres of land,
I well timbered and watered; the soil is of ex-
i cellent quality, well adapted to the cultivation
of cotton, corn, wheat, oats, barley, sweet
and Irish potato**, sugar cane, sorghum, etc.
All kinds of fruits are successfully grown.—
There are in the vicinity of liren liani two large
Nurseries, of established reputation, .supply-
ing a large portion of the State with peach,
plum, pear and apple stocks in all their va-
rieties. The native grasses are excellent)
cattle are kept in tine condition upon pastures
during the entire year; sheep are extensively
__ _ _ 1 raised and require but little corn.
iMORZVIiM (r ,7AFZiA. I The lands bordering upon the streams are
1 heavily timbered, but are easily brought into
cultivation; large bodies of prairie land lie
between the skirts of timber, which supply
fuel and fencing within easy distances.
Wheat, oats, barley and ryearesown In the
fall for winter pasture; corn Is planted from
the lllth of February to the 10th of March, and
can be housed at any time after the first of
September, but it is often permitted to stand
in the Held until November or December.—
Cotton is generally planted between the liOth
of March and the-JOth of April, but iu ordin-
ary seasons may be planted as late as the lurli
of June, and will make a good crop. Cotton
picking commences generally alxiut the llvst
of August and may be continued uutil Christ-
inas, immediately after which preparation is
made for the succeeding crop. The average
yield «f corn, that has been properly cultivat-
ed, is forty Mishels per acre, and its average
value is fifty cents per bushel. Cotton land
will yield one bale per acre, the average price
of which is forty dollars per bale. Dm* baud,
with team and proper tools, can cultivate ten
acres iu corn and eight in cotton.
Farming lands of good quality can be pur-
chased at from two to llfty dollars per acre—
the price being dependent upon locality and
improvements—and can be rented at from
two-and-a-half to live dollars per acre, or
one-fourth of the cotton and one-third of all
other products. Land owners will furnish
tenants with land, houses, teams, farming
utensils, feed for team and seed for planting
for one-half of the crop, and 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 the breezes from the
Gulf, laden with moisture. Germans ami
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-
llsti peas, etc.. are ready for the table bv the
first of April; tomatoes, chcumbers, etc.", are
abundant by the fifteenth of May; roasting
ears, sweet potatoes, watermelons, peaches,
etc., are in market by the first of June; dew-
berries, blackberries and strawberries are
abundant in April and May. A11 ipdiistrlous
farmer can live luxuriously on the products ot
the orchard and garden. with no expense oth-
er than the labor expended in the cultivation
of the soil. The use of manure in tlcld culture
is nnknown and seldom reouired for the gar-
den.

WASHINGTON COUNTY
Occupies a prominent place in the history of
Texas. The first settlement in Austin's colo-
ny was made near independence in 1838. The
con vention which declared the Independence

The town of Washington was the Capital of
the Rebnplic.ot Texas from November 103(1 un-
til l St.'i.
The fertility of its soil and surpassing beau-
ty of Itescenery, attracted to this county im-
"migration from the flrst settlement of the pro-
vince of Texas, and the character of its popu-
lation in intelligence and moral worth, has
not been excelled by that of any part of the
State. A large bodvol'Germans sett led In this
county at au early day, and by thetr industri-
ous thrift aided in'the rapid development of its
rich agricultural resources, and the various
public roads, emerging at the county seat,
are bordered with fields in the highest state
of cultivation. The rapid growth of its cap-
ital town and. numerous villages have kept
pace with the development of the county, and
Is but a fair indication of the entire county.
The population of the county having been
drawn from almost ever)' Stote in the llnlon,
