and Trying 10 Denotes
of Progress.

year ago, purchased what is now known
as Mistleroe Heights. is in the city and
will remain several days. He said last
night, "My pulse beats firm on Fort
! Worth aud Mistletoe. The city is in fine
condition to be pushed right at tbs time.
| There are many things that can be done

! places where have been. l noticed in
/ Chicago q large crowd constantly about a
| birds-eye view of Fort Worth which hung
! in public place. The people said, Fort
! Worth is a beautiful city II that picture
! 10 correct, and IL is correct. Yes, the
track of the Park street railway is COM
| pleted, and il will not be long until cars
! are running out in the direction of Mis-
tletoe. You have the city here If your
people will only push it. As SAID be-
| fore, my pulse beats firm on Fort
Worth.
While the bad weather has put a
damper on building operations it has not
stopped the preparation of plans for
buildings to go up. 1t is stated that
plans for the Hirshfield- French three
, story building on Houston street are well
under way. One architect reports that he
has prepared plans for the hotel projected
! but 1t is now stated that the proposition
made to the chamber of COM
merce has been Withdrawn. There
are plans in several offices in Fort
Worth for handsome four and five
story buildings. but there is nothing
definite as to when work on them
will begin. Mr.. John Tierney
says he stands ready to put
$50 900 in a building on Houston and
Seventh whenever he can get per cent.
money. He has information that money
for building purposes can be had in Des
Moines, Iowa, for 6 per cent. and thinks
l per cent. more sufficient for Texas.
Several other citizens would build il
loans could be placed at I per cent.
MIR. j. ID. Berge, II prominent attor-
ney of IndiaDola, Neb. was in the city
yesterday. He is looking over the Pam
handle country with q view of locating a
number of farmers, business and profe
sioual men, who are anxious to leave
Nebraska for better country. He
found what be sought, and left this
morning to bring down the first INSTALL
ment of his colony, which he Will locate
in Archer county.
The brewery begins 10 tower above the
houses about it. 1t will soon loom up so
that it can be seen from any quarter of
the city.
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 GEN.
ter of the state, and Fort Worth capital
and men propose to do all that is posi-
bic to aid the men engaged in those
industries. The packery will be worth
millions to Texas and Fort Worth.
The principal streets of Fort Worth
were brilliantly illuminated last night by
the city's electric lights. The people
were loud in their praises or the city
council which gave them the boon of
well lighted streets.
There is good prospects Of getting a
paint factory in Fort Worth in a short
time.
THE FARMERS BARBECUE.
Col. John r. Hoxis aud mis- colleagues
have decided TO wait until December
to give the grand barbecue
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 a sure market
for all the hogs they can raise. Farmers
should remember the date Of the barbe-
cue, December 5.
The Park street railway will be IN
operation some time in December. The
track is all laid.
