REALTY AND BUILDING.
Why Fort W0rth's Real Estate Market
VIII Soon be Active.
The Homs-seeksr5 Excursions VIII Afford
This City a Chance to Gain Citizens.
More Street Car Mileage.

That Fort Worth will soon see great
activity in the real estate market is ap-
parent even to the casual observer.
Lately there has been some strin-
gency in the money market,
which affected real estate to
certain extent, but that has gone, the
stringeucy being shortlived. The crops
of Texas have been marketed with the
exception of cotton, which Is now COM
ing in rapidly, and the money drawn
from the East to buy these products
Is lett in the hands OF
our home people. 1t will not be
long until this money will flow naturally
into the channels of trade, and as the
ordinary every day people are prosper
GUS their natural desire to own homes
and property viii make itself manifest
and they will buy. The people of Fort
Worth were never more prosperous. the
wealth per capita is greater than ever
the population of the city is larger than
ever before and these two things not only
give value to real estate, but place 1t il
the power of the people to buy.
HOME SEEKERS COMING.
All the railroads of the North and
East are advertising home-seekers half
rate excursions to Texas, tickets gooi
for thirty days. These tickets are sold
September and % and October If.
The first excur5iOnists who take udvau-
tage of these rates will arrive IN Fort
Worth tonight and from what can be
learned there will be u number OF them.
Would it not be a good idea for the
chamber of commerce and the real estate
If . pTf Tn Valp e
and show them what advantages Fort
Worth aud Tarrant county possess. 1t
is stated by those who know that ma
jority of tickets sold are to Fort Worth,
and when the people reach here they
scatter over the state. BY little effort
q number of investors and citizens cau be
secured out of the many people who will
visit Fort Worth in the near future.

is to be extended to the Union depot

THE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

The constantly growing circulation of
the Weekly GAZETTE is evidence that the
effort TO furnish a flrst-class paper de-
voted TO the interests of the people is be-
ing appreciated.
The Weekly GAZETTE is a tweIve-page
paper, containing a summary OF the news
of the world for each week, and is filled
with choice literature and miscellaneous
reading matter, which must prove in
structive and entertaining to the young
as well as to the old.
The Agricultural Department, edited
by Professor STEELE, recently introduced,
commends the Weekly GAZETTE to all
Texas farmers and contains matter each
issue more than worth the price of the
paper.
AS an advertising medium the Weekly
GAZETTE is incomparably superior to any
published in the Southwest, and offers
unequalled facilities TO all who wish to
reach the people of Texas.

THE Newark On. j. Call, despairing
of any change of law that increased the

this suggestion. elf every county IN

engineer who knew something about the
theory and practice of road making, and
the whole statute labor or road-tax labor
were intelligently employed, even under
the present system, something might be
done to make the roads of America other
than a reproach to the country -

NEW YORK Sun: "For Gov .-to-be-

if it doesn't he was born to the advan-
tage of being q perpetual and delightful

TOLEDO Blade: ''Binding Irvine has

This will enable the farmers to see

cotton bagging for the South on the free

not the South deserve that as much as
