Fort Worth has gone into the
business of advertising Northwest
Texas and she will fill the Panhandle
with settlers that will enrich North-
west Texas in ten years and pay
tribute a million a year to Fort Worth
trade. There is no monkey business
about the Fort. The newspapers will
not be expected to do the work gratis.
When the Fort gets down to business
a perpectual fountain of printers ink
will flow until its streams shall fer-
tilize all lands. Cash must be forth-
coming and Fort Worth will Dot
move until she has the sinnews of
war. That Panhandle can be made
the granary of Texas and it will not
be the fault of Fort Worth and Den-
ver if it is not so made.
BEEVILLE BOOMLETS.
Beeville Texas Aug 6 1889.
It was announced that passenger
trains would run over the Gulf West
Texas and Pacific by the 10th inst.
but the time will be further deferred.
The Southern Pacific company is de-
termined to place the track in first
class order before making a bid for
public patronage and.basa large force
employed doing surfacing work.
The movement to erect a college on
the ten acre campus donated by Capt.
Jones in an elevated part of the city
is growing rapidly in popular favor.
The desire is to* bond the city and
township for $25000 to erect the nec-
essary structure. The building can
be readily leased to an influential
educator for enough to pay the law
rate of interest to the bond-holders.
A big delegation of farmers from
Hays county took in the Beeville
region in the last few days. They
are greatly pleased with the outlook
and give assurance that many will
dispose of high price lands at home
and move this why in the fall.
