Waco Examiner: The San Antonio
Light eaye: 1.-THE four cities OF Texas
now are San Antonio, Houston, Dial.
las and Fort WORTH We pass over
the self Qualification and inaccuracy
of the statement TO observe that "me.

WANT IT RIGHT NOW.
San Antonio Express: Fort Worth
was justified in having O big jubilee
over raising the amount OF money
necessary TO secure the building of the
ax1hachie tap. 1t will add great
wealth to that city, the first year after
completion returning the amount sub
scribed four.fold ut least. The people
OF Fort Worth do not expect TO live
always, and want to make the money
munities are willing to make in years
by waiting and waiting.
EVERY TOWN TO ITS CALLING.
Paris News: Fort Worth builds a
cotton factory, Dallas has a large
brewery. THE GAZETTE and the Her
aid get in their work.
ARE CARVING THAT TRADE.
Sherman Courier: Fort Worth has
raised the necessary money to secure a
railroad connection with WaXahachie,
and Dallas mournB This road will
cut Off large trade that naturally be-
longs to Dallas, and II they do not
meet Fort Worth on the borders of the
coveted city with another road, they
will sigh for what might have been.
HAVE CAUSE TO BLOW.
BRENNAN Banner: Fort Worth crows
Justify over Dallas, and THE GAZETTE
advises Galveston merchants contem-
plating q removal from the dead city
TO investigate Fort Worth before "
eating elsewhere. One thing Ia sure,
the Fort Ia a fine town for horR-blow-
ing; every man there has horn OF
his own and he blows IT..
KNOWS NO SUCH WORD AS FAIL.
Abilene Quill: Fort Worth Is at
work day and night; counclling
through the night and making up pro-
grammes for the following days work
and appointing committees to carry
them out, OF course Fort Worth's
pride, live concert Of action, congrega-
ton of population and aggregation OF
carital are not worth cent to Abb
lene directly, but that city Is the only
wide.awake town that has ever sprung
up In the state. And its example Is
the best In the United States to psf .ern
after. Fort Worth has doubled it's en-
terprise, capital and everything else of
good In the last elk months, notwith-
Fort Worth has gained that
where 1t can accomplish anything. 1t
knows no such thing as failure, and
allows nothing to stand in Its way,
recognition from very
town and the whole state In spite of
everything. Abilene has many ad.
vantages over Fort Worth, age con-
Fort Worth, outside her am
billion, pluck, and forward march to
TIL goal, never had any advantages.
THE GAZETTE Is prime mover In all
her glory and her every good aim,
business move and noble purpose. and
whenever the citizens OF Fort Worth
withhold dollar from that paper IL
justly merits, they heap up to them
selves loss and reduce the money vol
ume flowing into their own pockets.
THE FORTS ENTERPRISE,
Bracket News: The Fort Worth
GAZETTE has been advocating a road
from Fort Worth TO Waxahachie, and
u few evenings since meeting was
held and sufficient money raised to
secure the road. Fort Worth has more
to the square inch than any
other Texas city.
SHE'LL PUT 1T THROUGH.
Temple Times; THE GAZETTE SAYS
Fort Worth has not lost her grip. We
never did believe that. anyway. The
Fort has put up" for the WaxahachIe
railroad and Wen bound she puts it
through.

day.

Dallas Herald: The Waxahachie
OF the Herald SAYS the
trade Of that town amounts to between
S400, 900 and $500, 900, which is entirely
too low an estimate. This trade now
comes to Dallas and helps to swell the
sales in this city. 1t Is believed when
the Central road Is extended from
there TO Fort Worth this trade will ali
pass from Dallas, Then II the road
from the Fort Is completed TO Gran.
