Clothing and Horses for the Rangers

Mr. Z. L. Nevill, of La Grange, will leave that place on the 1st of October, stopping at Mr. Affleck's in Washington county, and at Navasota, and will take to the Terry & Lubbock Rangers all horses and packages of clothing that may be left at these places for them. He writes us that he already has quite a number of horses, and there is no mistake about his going.

Persons desirous of sending horses must have them on hand at the time and places. They must, also, provide an amount of money necessary to pay the expenses of the horses for the trip of probably 25 or 30 days. Those wishing to send clothing must have it well packed in packages of 30 lbs., and for every two packs, a pack-saddle must be furnished. It is thought that perhaps a contribution of say one dollar per pound for the packs will about pay the expenses of the horses.

We would suggest that horses and packs should be sent to some reliable merchant in Navasota. Mr. Nevill undertakes to go through with the train without charge for his services. Those who desire to avail themselves of this opportunity, should make his trouble as little as possible. We have no doubt the will have a very good caballado by the time he gets to the Trinity.
