Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-03-06

months ago the vexed question of re-
moving the county seat kept many from
investing, but, thanks to the good judy
ment OF a conservative people, the elec-
ton resulted favorably for Quanah, and
ii is now the capital of Haroeman county
and alU avs will remain so.
The county commissioners have ordered
a bridge TO be built across Pease river
south of town. This will be great
benefit and convenience TO the people
south of the river, who will make this
their trading point.
There is some talk of building bridge
across Red river to accommodate our
Greer county friends.
Quauah will be the terminus Of rail-
road from the Northeast before another
year, and surveyors are now running
preliminary survey and Will reach here
before many days. This is not mere
assertion, but is based upon actual facts
that will bear your investigation.
The new church is completed and will
probably be dedicated next Sabbath.
We have good school with competent
teachers. The society is as good as can
be found anywhere.
An election has been called TO vote
upon the question Of incorporating, as
the growth of our town has made incor-
porating almost a necessity. There il no
doubt but what our town has q bright
future, and with the present manage
ment continued our future is assured.
Last year the farmers were greatly in
convenienced on account of there being no
mill in the county, but stock has been
taken and arrangements made to have
first-class roller mill in full blast by har-
vest time.
One of the best openings in the state
for large hotel is at Quanah, as the
present number cannot accommodate the
large number of people who are constant
~ arTivlng-in fact there Is a good OPEN
ing in Quanah for every line of business;
nothing is overdone here. If you are
looking for a business location come and
see the town, its prospects for the flu
ture, etc. There will be a city in this
portion Of Texas, and Quanah
has the best show of any
town on the Fort Worth and Denver
railroad. The town company is COM
posed of Fort Worth and Denver City Of
ficials, who have always and will con-
tluue to push Quanah to the front.
Talking with a prominent Fort Worth
and Denver City man recently he assured
the writer that ere two more years had
passed Quanah would have street rail-
ways, electric lights, etc., and be the
best town in this portion Of our state.
We especially invite farmers, men who
have toiled so many years without own
ing a home, to come and settle among
us. You can buy a good home here for
So per acre, on good terms and low rate
of interest. Don't procrastlnate any
longer, for procrastination is the thief
of time, - and the opportunities you now
have may not be so favorable next year.
With rich lands, pure water, cheap
homes, wooded streams, ana a happy,
prosperous, honest and intelligent class
Of citizens, Quanah and Rardeman
county extend to all good people cor
dial invitation to locate in our midst and
be one of us. Come and see our rich
valley lands, beautiful streams of run
ming water, shady groves, new school
houses and new churches, and you are
sure to be agreeahly surprised. II you
are fond of fishing, come and try
your luck with the fnny tribe in
the waters of the beautiful Groesbeck,
just two and a half miles from town.
If sou enjoy hunting, there are a few
deer, plenty of antelope, wild turkey
and other game in a days travel from
Quanah. If you have an eye for busi-
ness and wish to make safe investments,
plant a few hundred dollars in Quanah
town lots or Rardeman county farming
lands. We have yet to hear of the per-
son who hasn't realized a handsome
profit from every investment made SO far.
