THE COMING CONVENTION.

| IHE CpMlNt CONNENllONs
AS Hon. Barnett Gibbs says, the man
ufacturers and business mems oonveu-
ton TO be held here on Septem Der "a is
the greatest move ever inaugurated for
Texas, and from all present indications
the convention will be a success. The
cities, towns and trade organizations
continue to be heard from in the selee-
ton of delegates. Tyler, Dallas, Dub
lin and number of other places hav5
elected delegates in the past few days
| Negotiations are now pending with
the railroad companies for rates TO the
delegates. Secretary Biden is doing con-
siderable work in the East bringing tbs
convention TO the notice of maGufactur-
ers there. The great object of the con-
vention is to take such steps as will show
the great manufacturers who desire to
come to this state what can be done aut
what may be expected. II is also tho
intention to show that large wholesale
houses will find Texas a profitable field.
The cities which have not taken action
should select delegates at once.
FALL PROSPECTS.
The real estate market is now in first
class condition. Inquiries from abroad
are frequent. and a number of good
sales are made daily. Prices are inn
proving all the time. The city is al
vancing in every branch of en-
terprise. There are more people here
to-day than ever before, and the demand
for houses is greater by far than ever be-
fore. The industrial masses are this
greatest buyers of property, be
cause they far outuumber all other
classes. Real estate must get
its value from the men who
buy 5OxIOO feet on which to build home.
Increase the number of these household
ers and you increase the value of your
city lots, for the latter will then pay o
handsome revenue, provided they are
not permitted to remain vacant, or have
a $500 frame structure erected on
SIS 600 lot. The residence portion of
Fort Worth are far ahead of the princl-
pal business streets. Fifty fine store
houses are needed and could be rented
on the main business streets. Property
will be higher in sixty days and cousid-
siderably higher in the Spring. Now is the
time to buy, but above all now is the
time to build. OF what avail will in
creased business in the country be il
Fort Worth lacks stores in which TO do
business. Before January l, 1891,
county, city and individuals should have
work under way on s. 900 200 of build
ings. Fort Worth has now within her
grasp an oppOrtunity-that opportunity
is to put or foot measures that Will make
her the city Of Texas.
