The amount of business transacted
during the past year will aggregate, at
a low estimate, $500, 00O and the close
of the present year will show n large
increase. If no, double the amount
done last year. Besides its extensive
brick yards, hay pressing and fruit and
vegetable growing, n canning factory
Is very much needed here. There is
no place in North Texas that oilers
better inducements, as there are large
frlit orchards in this vicinity which
produce annually thousands of bushels
of blackbprries. peaches, tomatoes
etc. which, for the want of q home
market, are allowed needlessly to de
cay in the orchards.
THE pRIpB OF PILOT POINT
is her institutions OF learning No
town or city OF North Texas eau offer
superior educational facilities.
The Pilot Point seminary, though
unpretentious in name, does in reality
offer TO the seeker after knowledge an
opportunity not always afforded by
scho Is bearing the more pretenttous
title OF college.
This institution, under the able
management of DIR. NJ. b. franklin as
principal. aided by corps of thor
oughly competent teachers, secures TO
those who frequent its aisles advan-
tages equal To- any In the state. The
curriculum Is extensive and thorough
in every department, the purpose
always foremost being to educate pu-
pills to reason and think for them
selves, to realize, In a word, that .hey
are individual members of society,
and carve for themselves niche in
its temple, or be tToddeu under foot by
the common herd. The writer cannot
forbear making special mention Of the
music department of this school, I'M
der the management Of its thoroughly
competent and experienced teacher,
Prof. u. A. Barbe, who was pupil of
the conservatory OF Paris. 1t has
grown until il is possibly the most
successful school of music in this part
of the state.
The Brooks high school is another
integral part Of the educational sys-

Prof. S. l.. Straughan, is noted
for the untiriDg energy which has
characterized bis superintendency "A
large and rapidly growing patronage
attests the high estimate that is placed
upon the school 10y the patrons. Flo
cution and mathematics are prominent
features in this institution, and the pu-
pills attain the highest standard of ex-
cellence in these important branches.
From a small beginning, without capt.
tai, the princip pal has year by year
added to the buildings and grounds
till now they are both attractive and
comfortable. The faculty is full in
every department., and affords ample
opportunity to those who would WOO

the Pierian springs.
Prof G.. w. Davidson and lady are
preparing To- open another academy as
soon rs their house, which Is nearing
completion, can be made ready, so that
in the near future Pilot Point is TO be-
come known abroad, as she is already
ut home, as an educational center.
1t is a settled fact aud can be truth
fully said without boasting that Pilot
Point possesses unexceptiOnal school
and church facilities, aud with these
advantages there are Inducements for

The Baptist, Cumberland Presbyter-
ian and Christian denominations each

while the Metilodists have become so
