Occupying a central position in the great State

few veara ago aa the favorite hunting grounds of
the Comanrhe Indians but which is now known
far and wide for the healthfulnesa of Its climate.
the productiveness or its sou ana tne energy
! and intelligence of its people
The far-famed valley or the City of Mexico
1 contains no richer lands than tho Abilene Coun-
try . opening out for nearly a hundmd andttTty
I miles to our south and for an equal distance to
! the north and from forty to titty miles to the
east and to the west of the city oi Abilene The
! lands are rich and the soil deep aud productive.
1 It is from this scope of country that the rich
1 lands of the Brazos and Colorado in Southern
I Texas draw their fertility from tht annual rise
of the Brazos and Colorado rivers which flow
through this district. But unlike southern Tex-
I aa the" Abilene Country is absolutely free of nia-
I laria. An empire or itself might-be rounded and
' prosper on this magnificent domain which is
much larger than manj or the states .
JjOLIETY IN TIIK ABILENE COINTUY .

dian reigned supreme master or this entire eon-

gine nine years ago the Indians departed Tor

of our ouuntr are intelligent law-abiding lib-
eral minded and progressive. Selioola and
churches are well attended ami public improve-
ments ami enterprises receie hearty encourage-
ment The benevolent societies of every kind
and among them the Masons the Odd Fellows

world in intelligence integrity and all th- vir-
tues that constitute the true man
We observe with pleasure tbe iminof all
good people to our community and wiUYtrue
western hospitality we extend to all suoh a hear-
tv welcome. .
"CLIMATE OF THE ABILENE COUNTRY.
The normal atmospheric pressure for this sec-
tion (about l.feUO feet above ea-levell Is etal to
the weight or about -3.1 incites of mercury or tl
pressure or about thirteen pounds to the square
inch. SoaUierly winds ure ail wUJi an average
velocity or about nine miles per hour ami such
a thing as a calm seldom occurs and uterine and
cyclones are not known in this section.
Our atmosphere is pure and free from all the
germs of disease which infrct the atmosphere oi
bo creat a nart of the United States from the fact
! that in reaching this section the air passes oer
! an luullcL: nT Gtaeriiant nml fenm-ntim? water
Trom which to gather the ihmsobs so readily ab--orbel
but passes over running streams or pure
fresh water from which its moisture is obtained.

throughout the year is delightful with neither
extreme of heat or cold The thermometer rare-
lv indicates a temperature below twenty degrees
aliove zero seldom above loo decrees Fahren-
heit; tlie evaioratioii on account ol the contin-
uous motion of the air in this altitude is so great
that Kki degrees is not as oppressive in this cli-
mate as H degrees or heat in other altitudes.
The nights succeeding the warmest das we have
are always cool and refreshing: tliwse who have
lived here longest are moat enthusiastic In their
praises Here evainiratiou performs tlie iart of
a great hygienic factor; that is the elimination
