sumption, and a campaign along
these lines will be pushed through-
out the county! After looking to
the production of foodstuffs and
discussing business preparedness
and the sort, the meeting decided

- The following in the Democrat-
Voice at Colenuuk, was handed aa
by. a friend, Sid Andernon. The
writer ia son of Kd Anderson of
this coutnyand grand eon of Unele
Mow Anderson. It will be of in-
terest to the readers.
Mt. Dora. If M . March 12.
To The Democrat-Voice:
* The Democrat-Voice is a wel-
come visitor to our fire Aide every
Saturday night. An a number of
your readers have written us in
regard to, this country I would like
to reply to them through your pa
fpar.
Mt. Dora is 28 miles from the
Texas line and 31 miles from the
Colorado line. The town ia 6,500
feet above sea level. The town has
three stores, two hotels, two gar-
ages, blacksmith shop, lumber
yard, modern school building,
church house and a dance hall. The
Colorado and Southern Railway
and the Colorado and Gulf High-
way passes through here. During
the summer months there is an av-
erage of fifty tourists automobiles
daily. .
Union county is 110 miles long
and 100 miles wide. Part of the
county is mountaineous and rough,
part as level as the plains of Tex-
as, hut the greater portion is Hol-
ing, treeless* prairie. It does not
rain much dnring winter but there
is quite a lot of snow. The winter
and spring is very disagreeable,
but the summers are cool add plea-
sant. T
Comhig to this country in the
hope of having land given to you
is like going snipe hunting—there
is nothing to it. Some relinquish
ments can be bought comparative-
ly cheap. However, the cheapest
land is perhaps state land which
can be,bought in large or small
tracts. It is advertised and sold
at auction, the lowest bid consid-
ered being $5.00 an acre, one-tenth
down and balance thirty years at
oil Want Ice Cream
When the weather is warm and the greatest difficulty in
U. .w ,
the way is the buying in small quantities and the getting it to
your home—we have solved both questions.
WE DELIVER IT
| to yotor very door and you can buy just the quantity you want
Gall Stones, Cancer and Ulcers of 4 per cent. Deeded land sells at
* *"•'*v ^ - * * $5.00 to $20.00. Leased land may
be had at 5 cehts per acre. The
small ranchman and stock fanner
is taking the place of the open
rAnge ranchman. Stock are in
flesh here now and grass is
good, because the range is not ov-
erstocked as is usually the case in
Texas. There is very little loco
weed here. Sheep, cattle and hor-
ses are raised throughout this sec-
tion and goats in the mountainous
part of the country. Cattle grow
large—there are no ticks, and a
baby beef club would thrive here.
We could exhibit at Fort Worth
or Deliver.
On the farms they raise beans,
broom corn, cane. Vegetables, in
iact everything that, can be raised
in Texas except cotton. Crops last
year were comparatively short but
the price good. Beans made from
100 to 10(H) pounds to the acre and
brought 8 cents; corn made an av-
erage of 20 bushels. Broom com
makes a ton to five acres and Bells
for $200 per ton. Good wells may
be seeured over the county at a
depth of 40 to 200 feet.
Of course. I like old Coleman
county and may have to come back
this year to pick cotton, but I think
the country here offers more op-
portunities for a boy or young
man. 1 inend to buy a small tract
of land and raise pure bred Here-
for cattle.
The laws of Texas are far better
ter that here and are better enforc-
ed. Since coming here I have at-
tended church and various kinds
of entertainment, but by far the
most interesting thing was an old-
faahioned counry dance given 20
miles south* of Mt. Dora. They
seemed to have trouble getting
someone to cATl the sets, so about
10 o’clock Silas Jones, an old-time
cowboy, said he could call,
this is what he said;
“Face to thy center and backs to
f Phone us your wants and the Ice Cream will be delivered at
