! DECATUR, TEX. July 23.-Our repre-
! sentative men given below were seen to-
! day, and in answer to questions asked
/ them as to their views OF calling a con-
ventiOn to meet in Fort Worth at some
early day TO be composed Of citizens of
! North Texas who are interested in the
! prosperity of the state and effect organ
! ization, their ideas were given as follows:
| I. J. McMurray, county attorney-A
/ scheme was gotten up to benefit the
! whole state which seems to have gone
under, and now / am in favor of North
! Texas meeting, organizing and advertfs-
| ing itself. l would suggest that a con-
ventiOn be called as early as possible and
! get ready for fall work. We have a
magnificent country and why not let it
/ be known. Hold the convention at the
! convention center, the Fort.
W. J Maun, ex-sheriff-I think what
we need is to let the people know what
/ North Texas has and we will get plenty
! Of emigration. I know of no better way
! than to hold a convention of representa-
! tive men from each county and form an
organization in which all will assist and
! by which all viii be benefited.
! c. j. Crabb, county clerk say hold
! Northwest Texas convention at the con-
! ventiOn center and get i'll shape to let the
! outside world know something about the
granduer of our great state. Give us the
! means 10 scatter the truth and the har-
vest will be great. Nothing can beat an
organization composed of representative
/ men from the several counties.
}. r. Galloway, deputy sheriff. have
observed that all the Western states that
have been settled with progressive class
of people have done so through
organization of their people to advertise
the country. | think North Texas would
reap great benefits from such OrganIza-
ton, and l would suggest that a conven-
ton be called at some advisable place.
W. d. GOse, lawyer-The sooner the
North Texas counties organize and ad-
vertise themselves the better. By work.
ing together they can help each other,
and the advertisement will be equally
valuable to all the counties Hold the
convention immediately and get in some
work before fail.
W. 5. Gilbert, sheriff-We have Il
great country, and it needs advertising,
and | think that an organization COM
posed of energetic men from the several
counties would bU the best possible
scheme to accomplish the desired end,
and a convention should be called soon.
W. II. Bullock, county judge-I
have gwen the matter no thought. l
suppose it would be well to organize
What we need N this county is capital to
develop it, and ! am in for anything to
accomplish that end.
r. E. CarsweII, lawyer think we
need more country and fewer people. l
am a deCipIe of OX-Cart John. Grass is
getting too scarce.
VIII II. PRICE, county surveyOr-Our
state should be advertised more thor
oughly than it Is, as it Is the finest in the
Union, and when the people find it out
they viii come. The best way to make
these things known is for all the coun-
ties to work to the same end, and they
can do so by organizing and working to-
gether better than by themselves. Hold
a convention soon and get to work in the
manner then advised is my idea.

SAN ANGELO, Ten, July 22.-
Frank LEIGH, land agent-This section
Of the state is fully alive TO the necessity
Of action in behalf of Immigration to the
C0ncho country; and inasmuch as the
interests of the section west of Fort
Worth are il a measure identical, I
think 1t altogether necessary that this
Worth in the effort to secure
immigration. It seems to me, how
ever, that it would be best to have the
convention before the time mentioned,
August Is or 20. This would be of great
advantage in as much as the railroads
have put on their usual harvest excur-
siOns, which Will take place August
and 20, September 10 and a, and De-
tobeT s; and it would be well for us 10
avail ourselves of even this advantage,
meager though it may be. I will leave
nothing undoue to further this move
ment.

in doing a vast amount of good for all

Northwest Texas TO act independently |
