belief that it was regular.

DALLAS EXCHANGE AND COIN.
COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS. December 1.-THE extraordi-
nary growth of Dallas in the past year can
be attributed TO but one cause, its natural
advantages as the commercial center Of
North Texas 1t has not been the result OF
liberality on the part of our capitalists or
real estate owners, who should freely con-
tribute to our growth and prosperity, but it
is alone attributable to natural adj
yantages .and the efforts of
n few-very few merchants who
have made endeavors to extend their bust
ness and bring trade to Dallas. And in this
connection II would not be out of place to
ask what our real estate owners and mon
eyed men have done to advance our city to
its present proud position as the CONNER.
cial metropolis OF North Texas. Echo an
swers what have they done7" Ii Is true
many of them have held on TO their real
estate and grown rich by the liberality and
enterprise Of others, and many have erected
n few houses that would bring them in
large returns on their investments, but who
of them all have felt enough interest in the
good of the city TO expend anything in
Ynblic improvements? We are without
school-houses, churches Of character ex-
pected in city Of our size, theatres, parks
halls, and even our streets and sidewalks
are in almost disgraceful condition,
