REALTY AND BUILDING.
The Good Weather Has a Stimulating
Effect on heal Estate Dealings.
Work Resumed on the Rrewary-Tha Riverside
Street Car Line The Farmers Barbecue
at the stockva:ds.

The first ray OF sunshine since the rain
began eight days ago gladdened Fort
Worth yesterday, and had generally
inspiring effect. 1t caused real estate
dealing to be heavier than for snveral
days past, and put numbe Of men at
work again on the fue buildings
going up in this city. A large force re-
sumed work on the great brewery build
ing and to-day work will again be under
way on the Hendricks block. The River
side street railway company took advan-
tage of The good weather and had large
force of men and teams at work on
Jones street and on Seventh
street. The work on Jones street is very
/ heavy, but the force at work is so large
that it will take but few days 10 finish
it. Track has been laid on Seventh
street from Main to point be-
tween Calhoun aud Jones, and on
the latter street is completed TO
Sixth street. 1t Is now only a matter OF
q few DAYS until the track will be down.
Poles for the electric wires are being dis
tributed along the line
THE FARMERS BARBECUE.
Col. John Il. Hoxie aud his colleagues
, have decided to wait until December
, y " give MS SIdLu DaI UCtbG
to the farmers of this section
of Texas. This is done because
the weather has been so bad. When the
day comes the huge packery will be in
full operation and the farmers
will be- able to see for them
selves what Fort Worth has
done for them in providing q sure market
for all the hogs they can raise. Farmers
should remember the date OF the barDe-
cue, December ).
CITY HAIL.
Something Will probably be done al the
meeting of the city council Tonight in
regard TO the erection of Il city
hall. The people of Fort Worth
will be greatly disappointed If the recon-
meuiation OF Mayor Smith is not
acted on. Mayor Smith has investi-
gated the matter, and finds that
the city can obtain the funds
with which TO build the hall, and he
recommends that IL hali to cost SIPS, 900
be built. Fort Worth needs this build
ing very much, aud will need it
much more before it can be
built. A city hill, auditorium and
library would help Fort Worth very ma
terially in her growth as city, and
would especially help the lnborers OF
Fort Worth and retail merchants at this
time. The taxpayers are waiting to
hear from the city council.
