BRowNwooD, TEX, June 3.-NotWith-

there. are no less than eight business
houses, OF the most substantial character,

scarcely number the improvements in the
resident portion OF the city. There have
been something near nfty new stone
stores erected in this place since last fall,
ara still the good work goes on.
The extension OF the Cltburne branch
OF the Santa Fe, OF which so much talk
Is being had In Dallas papers, does not
create any great enthusiasm here, rs the
competition afforded by the Fort Worth
& Brentwood road Is what the people
here want Eyownwood feels cheered up
oy the recent letter OF Mr.. Britlou upon
this subject, and is ready to do her pant
towards building II. It is entirely uu-
necessary 10 speak OF the benefits 10 ac-
crue 10 Fort Worth from this road, but
when one casts his eye over its fiue coun.
try and begins 70 think Of the vast trade
which would be poured into the lnp OF

TO see dirt flying upon its construc ton.
