POLITICS IGNORED IN THE INTEREST on
FORT WORTH.
1t has come to the knowledge OF TIE
GAzETTE that the Republicans Of Fort
Worth, who are more interested in the
up-building of the city than the defeat Of
the Democracy, intend to vote the Demo-
cratic local ticket straight through. These
gentlemen are impressed with the fact
that this Is not mere pattizan contest,
but that in its result is involved the vel
fare OF the city; they are more concerned
for the advancement of Fort Worth than
for any individual success at the polls I;
they recognize that the Democratic local
ticket stands not so much for political
worth and principle as for all that tends
TO the progress and prosperity OF the en-
tire community, and, so impressed, they
will vote the Democratic local ticket.
The GAZETTE does not conceal its
qualification at this information, not that
1t conduces to the success OF the Demo.
cratic ticket, but that II is an earnest OF
the unity that has made Fort Worth what
1t is, and will accomplish yet greater re-
suits, despite the efforts OF those who
would promote class antagonlsms and
disintergrate the forces that have made
this city reputation as wide as the
notion. THE GAZETTE is moved by no
partisan impulse in its welcome 10 Re-
publicans. 1t happens that Democracy
In this contest stands for Fort Worth and
its future, for unity and confidence, and
from that broad platform invitation Is ex-
tended TO all, whose interest and welfare
are identical with those OF the city

1t is the intention OF the gentlemen to
bring the land to the highest standard OF
cultivation. The Yazoo valley Is recog-
nized as the finest cotton district In the
South. TIE syndicate will cultivate prin-
cipally cotton, using the latest improved
machinery where practicable. Most OF
the land has been hitherto incapacltated

would be for ever Quilted. The society own
ing their own grounds they could provide
all needed conveniences and at small ex-
penses. He moved that a committee be ap-
pointed by the chair, with power to confer

that the city and the old settlers, each con
tributing half the cost, purchase Hoes grove

81 900 to be paid HIM in cash at my decease:
and having and reposing implicit confidence
in my dear wife, | rely upon her to make

Mrs Chapman in her lifetime never made
any provision for Sylvester but by her will
provided that he should receive the income
on s. 600 which was to be invested so as to
produce not less than per cent interest.
Sylvester, who Is abont 70 years old, claimed
that he was entitled to support under Henry
B. Chapman's will and because lie received
nothing from Mrs Chapman for the period
of nearly years which elapsed between her
husband death and her own, and because
he considered the provisions of her will in
adequate to support him, filed bill in chan

B's estate for his support. Messrs. j. W
