TIE good people Of Decatur and all thai


THE good people Of Decatur and all that
surrounding country are exceedingly anxious
10 obtain close and quick connection with
Dallas. Between Denton, tho present tormi-
nus Of the Dollss u Wichita rallroSd proper
and Decatur, Is some 20 miles, and an exien-
sion OF the d. s. W. In that direction ough!
TO DO constructed ut a cost not exceeding
$4,000 10 Sc, 500 per milo, AS an investment,
Il would seem that such road would paw
well, and as feeder for Dallas, there CA b.
no question about tho interest that our own
merchants should take in Il. The route
could DO surveyed for about 81, 900 10 81 200.
There la roule now being surveyed with
tho chances OF early construction Of a road
from Fort Worth, 10 DO called the Fort
Worth & Denver railroad. This, If built
would make our noighbcr a gtoat railroad
centre, and q growing and formidable rival
Of Dallas. Tho speedy extension of tho d.
h W. line, Nc we have suggested, would 30.
only open up q magnificent. country TO us,
but secure In good advance tho custom In
preference TO any one else. II isa matter
worthy not merely Of serious attention, but
OF prompt action. The board Of. trade
should al once give thought 10 Il, and capt
hlls,s investigate ir compensatory adssn.
