From observation
while in Merit and
the statements b>
the business men
and the people in
general, everything
indicates that this
little city of north
cast Hunt is fast be
coming a place of
note from different
viewpoints. Tin4 111u<
Ridge and Green-
ville interurban will
' operate through the
town, there being a great amount of
the stock in this transportation pro-
ject owned by Merit citizens. As a
marketing point it is uuthorltlvely es-
tablished that llils place is the best
grain market anywhere on the Santa
Fe system from Dallas to I'al'ls, a dis-
tance of over one hundred miles. This
feature In itself serves as conclusive
proof of the activness and spirit of
Merit's commercial enterprise. Social-
ly and morally this community is un-
excelled, there being a lawful, quiet,
and peaceful management of their
several affairs without strife or fric-
tion. Educationally and religiously
tlie town ts well eared for, having a
few years ago erected a school build-
ing that Is nice and serviceable, and
its faculty is made up of " indent and
attentivi teachers. The Baptist and
Methodist churches are both religious
Institutions that are well attended. All
uf these enumerated attributes make
the town of Merit a desirable place to
live. Good clever people with open
hearts of welcome, with town and
country propt rty comparatively cheap
with good schools and Sunday Schools
and societies coupled with the new
fusion of enterprise from commer-
cial and Industrial standpoints which
seem to lie more determined than ever
Just now, makes tills point one tluit
should enter into the consideration of
the homeseeker, who wants to reside
where society Is congenial; where
moral worth Is esteemed: and where
honesty and thrift are solvent factors
for ones success and general well be-
ing.
The firm of c,.ki r and ('ox, who are
among the leading blacksmiths and
woodworkers of this place, have re-
cently completed the installation of a
complete electric lighting plant and
are furnishing lights of a large candle
power to the cltv. This feature Is also
one that marks the cityward stride
beyond the ordinary place of like pop-
ulation. This firm has a gt neral re-
pair shop, a grist mill and have In
their operation a plow roller, trip
hammer, and all the necessary access
sories that are found In any black-
I smith shop or wood-working estab-
lishment In the larger cities. They
I have and are doing the proratij of
business that comes to this town in
their respective avocation.
