Fort Worth ENTERPRISE.

The vim and enterprise of Fort
Worth are being generally recognized
by the press of Texas, and many are
the good words being said for the place
where the panther laid down. The
Colorado Clipper pays this hand
some compliment to the wide
awake people of the Fort :
"At the late municipal election
at Fort Worth and Dallas the vote
stands as follows: Fort Worth, 3l95 /;
Dallas, 1900. According to the rule of
estimating population, Fort Worth has
population of l475 more than Dallas
at the present time. Two years ago
Dallas was much the larger city.
Vim and enterprise did it, and we
predict that in 1890 Fort Worth will
be the largest city in the state The
people of Fort Worth do not wait for
things to turn up, but put their shoul-
ders together and turn them up. Think
of 1t, ten years ago Fort Worth was q
small, dull village five years ago it
had one railroad and WAS beginning to
boom just a little. Two years ago it
was the ninth city In size in the state,
and to-day ranks second in size and is
a grand railroad center.n

MARSHALL.
A Grain Dealer Declares for Honest
Trade.

Special
MARSHALL, TEX, April 1S.--There
appeared a card in yesterdays Messen-
ger over the signature of M. Lothop,
one of our largest grocers and grain
dealers, in which he makes the start.
ling announcement that it has been
the habit and general custom among
dealers to mark each and every sack
of grain and feed stuff several pounds
more than their actual weight. This
was done, as he alleges, in order to sell
goods cheap and at the same time
make larger profit, and that he in
self-defense was compelled to do like.
wise. His eyes have been open to the
enormity OF this wrong and he
has determined to abandon the
practice. He throws himself on the
mercy of the people, and asks a con-
tinuance OF their patronage. The APP
pearance of this card has created quite
a sensation, particularly in business
circles and especially among those of a
smaller trade, who, we are informed, are
preparing q general denial to all the
charges and allegations therein con-
tanned, except in so far as they may
apply to the author of the notice. 1t
is, to say the least of 1t, very remark
able production, and is so considered
by the public generally.

Spring Wheat in Dakota.

Reports from several hundred points, in
Dakota, have just been gathered. From a
summaryit appears that the acreage in na.
kota is very little less than last year. The
shortage does not exceed 5 per cent. and
may not reach that figure. The decrease is
widely distributed. In the Northern portion
Of the territory farmers were discouraged
by the low prices prevailing last fall, and
many allowed their land to lie idle in
order to rid it OF foul seeds. In
the southern portion, particularly in the
older communities, farmers turned therat-
tention more to stock raising and to flax
and coarse grain. The war scare during
seeding time induced great many to in
crease the acreage, but the season was too
