Texas

By E. B. Hopkins

I HAVE just closed a meeting six miles south of Marietta, where a Sabbath-school with twenty-six members was organized. This is the best place I know of for our isolated brethren who wish to buy a home cheap, where they can send their children to a church school. Land can be bought with cash or on time, and is worth from three dollars to eight dollars an acre, owing to improvements and quality. It is adapted to corn and cotton and to all kinds of vegetables, as well as to fruit, especially berries, plums, peaches, and pears. Apples do fairly well if properly cared for. This is a timbered country, and some places have very fine range for stock. The railroad is from six to fifteen miles distant, but a new one is expected to be put through soon.

We have a good church school at Marietta, and one at Avinger; and these brethren south of Marietta expect to start one, but they need help to run a school. Any one wishing to come to this place may secure further information by addressing D. H. Day, Cusseta, Tex.; or Ed. Hancock, Marietta, Tex.; or Steve Penly, Avinger, Tex.
