There
has been no fatal malady prevalent in this section during the past year.
The only diseases
|
|
|
|
which
have prevailed to any extent being simple cases of remittant and intermittant fever and
|
|
|
|
|
chills,
caused during the last summer and fall, by an over
abundance of rain during the
|
|
|
|
|
spring months. Suceeded by
a very day and an unusually sultry summer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
the
Character of the mater is varied,
perhaps as much so as of any other section of
|
|
|
|
|
|
county of the same extent. Immediately on the colorado River in the valley proper it seems to
|
|
|
|
|
passes no marked indications of the existence of any
specific mineral. Though a small portion
|
|
|
|
|
of lime and allow may be detected in water from the
wells. Some of the springs contain a
|
|
|
|
|
large fortor of line. And
in the rocky hills there is a strong infusion of copperos,
so
|
|
|
|
|
|
much so that the water obtained from the springs in
those sections is commonly denominated.
|
|
|
|
|
copperas waters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
soil is of various kinds, the river runs through a valley of Prairie
country
|
|
|
|
|
|
extending
on an average of from three quarters, to a mile on either side of the
stream
|
|
|
|
|
the soil of the valley is generally a mixrure of Lime and sand. The lime predominating
and
|
|
|
|
|
is
well adapted to agriculture of all kinds, and being in past cultivated in
corn and cotton
|
|
|
|
|
is
found to yield abundently, being capable of
enduring severe drouth, these are on the
|
|
|
|
|
Prairie
Lands, large quantities of what is commonly called Lime Rock and in the
Post Oak and Piney
|
|
|
|
?.
There is a great deal of flint rock and sand stone, exhibiting large
deposits of iron and
|
|
|
|
|
and in some places, Spring glass abounds. These hove been years past. Experiments made in
|
|
|
|
|
mining for silver but with what success is not now known.
Large quantities of Iron ore
|
|
|
|
|
are
found in various sections there is also found a species of coal but as
experiments have
|
|
|
|
|
only
been made on small quatities taken from
the surface which were injured by exposure
|
|
|
|
|
to
the atmosphere and seen, I cannot give any just description of its quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
timber of the country is principally a speciews of
Port Cap Pak, the Pecan and the Pine which
|
|
|
|
inhabits the rocky hills.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
seasons are generally regular, except in the approach of spring when the
weather
|
|
|
|
|
is
fickle the summers are generally sabulicos notwithstance the culture post of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
sun, for there is a constant cooling breeze prevaling sevalesing ?
