Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1885-09-23
THE SANTA nv EXTENSION.

THE GAZETrE reprints the following
from the Abilene Reporter, to show that
excellent journal that neither Fort Worth
nor TIE GAZETTE would throw one straw
in the way OF Abilcnc's development and
prosperity, THE GAzETrE printed the
report of the cessation Of work on the
Santa Fe extension as a piece
OF news, just as TnE GAZETTE
would print anything of public in
terest. Because THE GAZETTE prints
the news of a murder is no proof that
THE GAzETrE takes pleasure in nian-kill-
ing. So with the matter of which the
Reporter makes mountain in its eager
ness TO show its own fidelity to Abilene.
Fort Worth has a future of its own,
worked out and to be worked out by the
pluck and enterprise Of its people This
city does not expect to grow by reason of
the decadence of other towns. Fort
Worth wants the West oiled with people,
with cities and with railroads, and is not
SO silly as to hope that the West
will remain without additional rail
road facilities. We beg the Reporter
TO believe that in working for
Abilene, it is not necessary to imagine
Fort Worth viii oppose anything that can
benefit that town, or that Fort Worth is
at all troubled with fears of rivalry. THE
GAZETTE prints the news without regard
to the feelings of its management, and
both THE GAZETTE and Fort Worth will
rejoice at Abilene's growth into a great
it, frha"a l. rnnm In this oroat etato
