What does the Blue Plague staud

Still Ginning Cotton
The Hunter Gin has been running,
several days this week, ginning the
cotton that has been accumulating in
the ware ouse for the last few weeks.
Much of this cotton has been piled
out of doors In the wind and dust be-
fore. hauled to town. One of the bales
was so full of dust and dirt that it
was necessary o stop t lie machinery
several times and clean the dirt out
of the pipes and stands The gin
room was so full of dust that oue
could scarcely breathe and when the
hale was turned out of the press it
pres nted rather a spotted appear-

were ginned here last year as the

thought I would write you anil ex-
press my opinion of Matagorda Coun-
ty and especially of the lands shown
us by the Colonial Laud Company.
I have never looked over a tract of
land that 1 consldere I the equal of or
superior to those I have visaed. So
far as climate is concerned, while we
have had some chilly days, 1 am con-
vinced that we have seen some of the
worst weather that they have. It is
very pleasant today and is like April
at home.
I expect to investigate the country
about Corpus Christi and Browns
ville before returning, and of course
in doing this will have some oppor-
tumty of making comparisons be-
tween this country and the countries
tnrough which we will travel and the
two points mentioned that we will
visit. , .
If any of my friends think of mak
iug a trip to the Coast Country or
anywhere, I would reccommcnd that
spring season will probably cause a
much larger acreage to be planted this
season.
