hOyemrDts- Notes.

1t Fort Worth is not on the eve Of
great activity in real estate circles, then
ali signs fail. Agents have an unusually
large number of inquiries from outside
parties, the actual transfers are heavy
and number of sales are in course OF
negotiation. Fort Worth people only
have to go TO work and bring TO sue
cessful issue the several projects on foot
to make things hum.
THE SHOE FACTORY.
To-day the shoe and leather company
will be organized. The stock has been
taken with the exception Of $500, and il
Is believed that will be placed in Il few
DAYS. Such mrn as Col. John r. Hoxie,
Col. J. z. Smith. G. Il. Silliman, John
c. RYAN, w. f. Lake, james Ryan,
Thorp Andrews, G. b. Hendricks and S.
/ d. Rainey are stockholders in the COM
pany. The factory buildings are COM
pleted and It will only take u few weeks
to begin work.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
There was special meeting of the
member of the chamber of commerce
Yesterday. The paper mill project was
brought up aud referred to the commit
tee on manufactures to report at u spe-
oal meeting to be held Saturday morn
ing at 10 CLOCK. The matter of the
erection of r building at the Union depot
for the exhibits from the sections
of the state tributary to Fort Worth was
also called up and decisive measures
will be taken at once. The Albuquerque
committee reported that they would go
to work to-day on the subscription to the
stock of the road, aud by the time
the Saturday meeting is held they will
have something to report.
THE PACKERY.
All is activity at the great packerv on
the North Side, and it will be but few
DAYS until the work of packing hogs will
begin. Not only will hogs be manipu-
lated, but $50 head of beeves
will be slaughtered every day.
President Ellis. Col. Hoxie and
their colleagues are all determined to
show the farmers and stock raisers of
Texas that Fort Worth is the stock CEN
ter of the state, and Fort Worth capital
and men propose to do oil that is possi-
BILE to aid the men engaged in those
industries. The packery will be worth
millions to Texas and Fort Worth +
THE GRAND HOTEL.
There is no time like the present for
Fort Worth to secure the fine hotel which
strong Eastern syndicate proposes to
build here if the citizens give the
site. The general opinion is that
all can unite on the Ninth street
site between Main and Houston.
The thing to do is TO raise the SllO. 600
and close the deal. The hotel proposed
will be worth many times $40 600 to the
people of Fort Worth. Not man who
1f he
Fort Worth but will be benefited. The
committee, 1t is understood, will try
again to raise the money.
