Mr. Editor, If you will allow me to I will give a short sketch of my trip to Texas. I left Anniston Monday, January 14th and after a long ride on the Iron Horse and several changes we reached Dublin on Thursday the 17th at 1:30 o'clock and after enjoying a fine dinner of everything good to eat at the home of one of my relatives, I then went out in the country to one of my uncle's and had a real nice time and on my way out in the country I think I can truthfully say I saw as many cattle in one pen as there are in Cleburne county and they sure were fine; they would weigh any where from 800 to 1200 pounds. I saw the finest land that I ever saw and everybody made fine crops and there is plenty of cotton to pick here now at from $1.25 to $1.50 per hundred. I find people all doing well here and just as friendly and sociable as I ever saw anywhere. All that I have to regret is that my parents did not bring me to Texas when I was a little tot, I think my folks would have been much better off, as well as myself. I find the people can raise anything in Texas that can be raised in Alabama and I find good water and plenty of it and I think this part of Texas is just good enough for anybody. I shall lengthen my trip next week to Brown county and then I will give a more complete history of my trip to Texas. Hoping the Cleburne New Era much success. John Reaves. ______ LECTA News Mr. John F. Fordham, one of our prominent and leading citizens, who is always at his post when either church or school calls him, says the attendance by the first of Feb'y will reach one hundred. __ File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/cleburne/newspapers/gnw244newspape.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 9.3 Kb
