Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. With the unerring instinct of the savage the Wacos had another and greater reason for their choice of an abiding place. The lay of the land is such that no cyclone, no death-dealing storm ever approached them. We have had zero weather to the' north of us, cyclones to the west of us, hail storms on the east of us, and cloudbursts on the south of us, but we still cherish the Big Spring in the midst of us and bear a charmed life.
