all the objects of the proposed immigra-
ton work, and shall cordially assist in
every way We expect a large immigTa-
ton this fall, and a little work viii make
it sure.
j. c. Bernay, president Citizens ex-
| change-The plan suggested meets my
| full approval. 1t is a good idea al
together. The convention al Fort Worth
will give 4 good opportunity to discuss
| methods and ought TO lead to some
| thorough and successful immigratioR
work. -
J. L. Harris, editor Bauner-The pfan
Is greatly to be commended. The CO.
operation of whole district VIII be bet
! ter than any local effort. The amount of
money expended Will bring larger re-
I turns to district than to a locality
! The benefit is general.
Hurlbert, wholesale hardware-We
need 4 class of people that viii settle and
20 to work. Germans for Instance. l
favor any plan to reach this end. The
| plan suggested may be good, it surely
viii help Fort Worth, but L believe
local bureau would do more actual work
for Brown county. s.
W. W. Mccullough, wholesale gro
GER There is merit in THE GAZETTE S
proposition, but I think Fort Worth
will receive the lions share. I favor
advertising our country, but am not GER
tain that this IS the best way. A con-
ventiOu would bring out some good ideas
and would be productive Of some good
! fruit at least.
Brooke Smith, banker-I favor the
plan suggested by THE GAZETTE. Any
thing that viii advertise the facts regard
ing BOrwn county will be received with
favor by our people. An immigration
can be readily started from the effects of
the Spring Palace. The convention will
be a good place for the exchange of
ideas.
c. H. Jenkins, attoTney-NOrthwest
Texas is the choice portion of the state.
1t is wholly devoted to agricultural and
stock pursuits, and consequently the in
terests of the whole section are Identical.
The plan proposed is eminently practical
and must yield great fruit if carefully
worked. The convention at Fort Worth
Will be a grand way to initiate the work.
a. +. Noel, land agent favor any
and all advertising Of Brown county and
her resources. We have 4 good country,
and when people find what we have they
will come to US. The convention at Fort
Worth will be a stepping stone in the
right direction. The work, il pushed,
viii yield astonishing results. 1 believe
the whole plan to be 4 good one.
s. G. SpanE, editor of the Appeal
believe i'll all honest advertising and i'm
migration work. If this will do US any
good | will favor it, though | think other
sections would be favored rather than
this part of the state.
FROM WICHITA FALLS.
Correspondence OF the Gazette
WICHITA FALLS, Ten, July FL
have talked with 4 number of our citi-
Gems about THE GAzETTE's plan for the
organization of an immigration bureau
for Northwest Texas, and for q conven-
ton to be held at Fort Worth, and find
them all favorable to the idea. and you
can count on their cooperation.
FROM COLEMAN.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
CoLEMAN, TEX. July 2G-Your cores
pOndent had 4 talk with the citizens of
this town to-day, and the following is the
result of the talk about the contemplated
convention to formulate plans to induce
immigration to Northwest and West
Texas.
Col. J. E. McCord said-T am heartily
in favor of the plan and hope each county
will have a representative at the con-
yentIon. l believe a convention of these
counties and q union of them in an effort
to induce Immigration, far preferable to
the state movement. l am III favor of
early action in the matter, and would
suggest that the convention be held at
Fort Worth, as early in August as pTac-
ticable. This movement win get the CO.
operation of the counties most vitaly
interested in it, and they will act with
more promptness and yigOr.
r. S. Bower said think the project
q good one and that the movement should
be held at an early day to devise means
to induce immigration to Northwest and
West Texas. My idea is to get up de-
scriptive pamphlet with map of the differ
ent counties and employ a canvasser or
drummer to visit the different states that
we want the immigration to come from
and solicit excursions to this state, his
expenses to be paid by all the counties
I also think that we ought to have fine
displays in the different state fairs.
J. c. Dibrell said think the idea a
good one and hope that it will succeed. /.
am in favor of it, but I have not given
the matter sufficient thought to say what
think is the best plan.
Judge J G. Randolph said hope the
movement will succeed. I can not now
suggest any scheme, but think that i'm
migration is the great need of this coun-
try; but I don t want any Cinnamon in
mine.
w. C. Hodges said-I think the con-
ventiou a good idea. l believe it would,
be best TO form auxiliary committees n
the different counties, all to work under |
the central committee at Fort Worth. LNI
would be good idea to have descriBsFTe
pamphlets to distribute among tlleFeo-
pie who we expect to immigra teftesthis
country. I think it would be aRgod idea
to send to the county clerk of the differ
ent counties where we desire immigrants
from and get list of names and send
them these pamphlets; l think /. would
do a world of good
J. j. Callan editor of the Voice said
I am in favor OF the meeting of delegates
from the different counties of the north
west and west, as Indicated in a recent
editorial of THE GAZETTE. If each
county will contribute u small amount to
advertise our resources it would be of
great benefit. / think q fine display of
orr OrOdUptS of the different fairs IF tho
