TEXAS CORRESPONDENCE.
An acquaintance lias liamlod us (he
following letter received from a friend
in Texas which containing informa
tion in regard to a country of which
coraparatiyely little Is known hero we
publish, omitting some portions which
might not be of general interest,
Privilege Creek, Bandera City,
Texas, June 3d, 1873.
There is plenty of land open for
pre-cmlion in this county, both praire
and timber. A friend of mine has
just settled on a 160 acre lot of prime
land (about two miles from my place)
well timbered, with what we call here
"post oak." It is a fine, rich, black
loamy soil, but ho has to go to the
creek, about 300 yards, for water.
There is water to be found almest any
place here by digging from 20 to 50
feet, Addjoing his lot there is some
fine land open for settlement, both
timber and prairie. The prairie land
runs along the creek ; it is a light soil,
very fair farming land, but the 4ira
bered land is much preferable. The
drawback is the want of water on the
spot without digging for it.
There are several other good loca
tions about, but this county is as yet
very sparsely settled, and a man with
a family likes to have neighbors. If
you were here, you could pick out a
dozen good places ; some with water
and some without. Now, to give you
an idea of what you are leaving, and
to what you are coming, I must sup
pose your case : Say at your present
employment you can save $200 a
year, Well I think if you were stall
ed here, with your house built, you
ought to make $300 the first year,
over and above expenses ; the second
year you ought to double this, and
then it will be your own fault if you
do not go ahead. If you had $150 to
start with you ought to do well : if
you have only a quarter of it, you can
succeed, but it is mighty hard work.
You must make up your mind to live
on corn bread, coffee and meat for
the first year ; $50 will buy enough
to last you twelve months ; after that
you will have your own corn, meat
vegetables, milk, Ac, and all you
will want f buy will be coffee and
other little necessaries, such as soap,
candles Ac, &c.
You can build a log house, if you
work at it yourself, for about $10 in a
few days; a frame house will cost
you about $30. I would advise you
to make the log house first, as money
js an object to you, and afterwards
you can build either a stone or a frame
one, and the old log house comes in
as a corn-crib.
The principal disadvantage of this
place is the want of society, but this
state of things will be improving every
day. But the life hero is so extreme
ly rude and primitive that it some
how jars on one accustomed to the
little home comforts of the old coun
try. I have felt this more than any
thing elso,"and from this I judge it
must be very hard for a woman.
One dollar a day is the average wages
paid here for common labor; there
are three east mills in the county
where you might get work and better
pay, but my advice to you is, if you
should come and pre-empt land, stay
and work your own land if you have
only the means to live till you make
a crop ; five aeres of your own land
fenced in and plowed will be worth
inore to you, and give greater zest to
yoiir labor than any money you can
earn by wojkiog for another.
If you come Ln tie fall, you can
easily get your house up, and at least
ten acres fenced by February ; in time
to plant, and then in following Au
gust you would I expect, be on your
feet with a fuir s(art.
J consider $1 a day here is worth
$3 ;'n a city or town. I. enclose an
article clipjiscl from a Texas Almar
uac," which very dearly and truth
fully shows how a poor mnu may get
along.
I want you perfectly to understand
that lifo here is in its rudest
form. Everything is of the utmost
simplicity, and all your surroundings
will be poor and mean until you get
a start, and then it rests with a man
himself to make things comfortable
and cosy. What the people Lore (na
i.Vcs and Old residents) lack, is ener
gy. They all commenced poor, and
now, though some of them are wealthy,
and most well-to-do, they are content
to live on in tho same poor and rather
dirty way they were forced to start in,
Deer, bears nnd turkeys are pretty
plenty here. You can buy horses
from $25 to $35 ; Yoka of oxen, for
plowing $30; Cows (milch) $3 to $10;
Stock cattle $3 ; Blieep $1 ; goats 75
cts, ; corn meal is now $1.25 per
bushel, but is generally only 50 to CO
cts ; fresh beef 2 to 3 cts a pound ;
bacon 12 to 15 cts; hogs $1 each.
The correspondent closes by saying
"A Xsorthern paper would be quite
treat, as we rarely seo one."
We have treated him, and now pro
ceed to give an extract captioned.
"Inducements to Immigrants:"
For immigration from any quar
ter, mere never was such an opening
as i Texas. Two of those induce
ments are, the remarkable cheapness
oi the nest sort or lands, and the prev'
aience ot plenty all over the btnte,
It is tiue that by neglect the wheat
crop was suffered to fail the only
failure ever made in tho State but
corn is abundaut, and may be bad in
many places for twenty-five cents,
cash, or, as the Standard savs. "for
almost any thing the immigrant may
Dnng witn him. jJacon sells, all
over Northern Texas, at twelve and a
half cents a pound. In Clarksville.
the merchants sell it at that price,
Beef abounds at ten to twelve dollars
head. Cows and calves mav be
had by immigrants for almost noth
ing ; lanes are to be bought at a nomi
nal price, and everywhere our land
owners will put the industrious immi
grant in the way of getting a home of
nis own, with plenty ot stock, in a
few years in fact, of laying the foun
dation ot a fortune, without missing
the outlay. A sober, intelligent, in
dustrious man can come to Texas now,
and make his labor and management
more available than it would be any
where elso in the world. He can co
on a piece ot land, cultivate it. cet
an sorts or stock to growing up
around him, and own enouch land
and stock in two years to make him
ndependent, having been helned to
food and implements, and every thing
necessary to a start, by farmers who
own all those things and whose great
est desire is to have them productive
ly useu.
