We are informed that il is the intention
of the town site company to bring an eN-
cursion 10 Texas in the near future, per

time public sale of lots in the new town
Of Garden City will be held. Low rates of

railroad company, or from private
individuals. Already the ball has
opened and eleven families have located
on lands near the town, and others are
coming. The town enterprise will be a sue
cess:
First, because it will be the county seat
Second, because it is located in the heart
of an exceptionally fertile and healthy coun-
try, capable Of supporting a very large pop
ulatiOn.
4 Third. because it is SO located geographic
Cally that il will command the trade of a
large scope of country, extending south and
west a hundred miles OF more, and east for
ty or more miles.
Fourth, il promises to be at no distant day
in communication with the seabOard by di-
rect lines of railroad, a large portion of which
are already built and in operation; and il
only requires the northwestern extension up
through the ConchO Valley TO connect il
with deep water navigation. Ii must not be
forgotten, however, that it is now within
few hours drive Of the Texas n Pacific

delivered on ShipbOard at Galveston at from
five to eight cents per bushel less than il
can be shipped from Iowa and the north
west: and. as the ocean freight from Gal
weston toLiverpoOl is just the same that it is
from New York to Baltimore, the grain
growers of this section will possess de
Cided advantage over those of the north
west That this end will be reached there
is little doubt. for it is fact within the
writer's personal knowledge, that eastern
capitalists are now en- route for Texas for
the purpose of securing the opportunity of
pushing the CunchO Valley railroad enter
prise to success.
And last but not least the Garden City
enterprise will be a success because il Is
backed by abundant means. there being i'll
the aggregate no less than three millions of
dollars represented by the members of the
syndicate: and while, aS before stated. the
stock is largely held and controlled by
Springfield people, there are number of
persons in eastern Ohio, Pennsylvania. In
diana and Texas who hold stock and expect
Ia settle here, and all unite in saying the
enterprise will be a success; and we be
lieve it.
The people who are here now are intelli-
gent and hOsptable. Those who are com
ing are mostly from the East and north and
are o. that class who know how to achieve
success.
To those who may have had dread of
the terrible cowboy" we would say. you
are mistaken; let your fears be dispeiled.
No man on the plains will 90 farther or sac
rinCe more Ia do you kindness than theTeXa>
cowboy of the present, and life and prop
erty are as safe in West Texas as in any
part of the Union. To satisfy you of this
fact We can only say. come and see.

garding the quality Of soil. climate, and
other natural advantages OF the country.
