FORT WORMS NEw CITY DIRECTORY
GIVES Us 10000 rKopLE.
The new directory Of the city OF Fort
Worth is out at last. II is purely home
product, and reflects credit not only on
the Fort Worth Printing house, the en-.
terprising members OF which are the pub
fishers, but II does credit TO the city. In
every point OF view Il win compare IA
uorably with similar works gstten up by
professionals aud printed in larger cities.
The most interesting thing about new
directory Is the number OF names that II
contains. Morrison 4 Journeys Of a
year ago had, 30 tho Publishers
state, $500 names. This multiplied by
"a, the usual basis Of computation gave 4
total population OF n ,9l5. The new d.
rectoIy has, outside OF firms and bust.
ness places, 1919 names, which, oddly
enough, lacks only one OF 1000 increase.
This taken 81 times will give 2G,slb PEG.
pie az the total population OF Fort Worth,
or gain OF 1871 In years. time.
IL would be a difficult matter 70 fnd a
man In Fort Worth who would think this
an over-esiimate. But even II such one
could be found, the figures are against
him, and figures don'tlis. The estimate,
Indeed, is rather under than over the
true aggregate OF our population. An in
crease Of 1871 people, however, IN twelve
months Is the most striking feature OF the
subject At this rate Fort Worth viii
have doubled her population OF 1885 In
four years time.
What does II all indicator
II means simply this That the Queen
City, despite guarantees, railroad strikes
and droughts, ali OF which reYerses she
has encountered la the pact twelve
months, marches steadily along 10 her
predeBtlned place at the head OF the pro.
cession. The last year has brought as an

road boom OF uncommon dimensions
mot yet ended and building boom as a

Fort Worth, few men who have not faith
IN the ultimate greatness Of the city.
The great ma ority are hopeful, confident,
enthusiastic. To all such the figures
given above should be most re assuring.
II should strengthen their faith In the
