LUBBOCK, Dec. 1O.-The liberal policy
adopted by Messrs. Weelock and Lotion is
building up the town north of the canyon
with that rapiditv characteristic of West
ern towns. Having secured the post
office and quite number of the best
tiZens from their rival on the south
side, their prospects for ultimately gain
ing the county seat is of the brightest.
The large and commodious hotel recently
completed IS being run by MIR. q. NJ.
Hunt. late of Estacsdo.
COLORADO, Dec. 1.-THE chamber of
commerce which was organized here last
week has gone actively to work in the
interest CT the town and country. The
organization numbers every business
man and progressive citizen of the town,
aud il is their intention to make things
hum. A fund of $1,000 has already been
raised for advertising purposes, and Will
be used in letting the people of other
states know of the many advantages of
the grand "Colorado Country, - where
the best of agricultural land can he had
at lowest prices, where the climate is
almost perfect, and where there are
abundant opportunities offered everyone
to make money rapidly. J. W. Hill,
one of our dry goods merchants, IS build
ing q handsome seven-rootn residence.
A. IL. II. Tolar, the new editor of the
Clipper, is erecting a neat dwelling, and
will move his family here from Abilene
IS soon as it is completed. A. Pruit,
cashier of the Citizens national bank, is
making Grea. additions TO his residence
property.
SUNSET, Dec. l1.-For several months
Il has been given out that our justly
celebrated mineral wells were to be con-
trolled by a strong syndicate, which
would develop them by erecting a S50,-
600 hotel, putting in motor line and
ornamentng the grounds with lakes and
parks. Now, the hotel, with all Its adj
juncts in the way of motor line, park,
lakes, suburban depot, ETC.. is an as
sured fact. The amount necessary to
carry out these improvements has been
raised, and this week at a meeting OF the
stock holders it was decided to begin work
ct once. March has been fixed
ss the date on which the cornerstone of
the elegant hotel shall be laid. A big
barbecue will be one Of the features of
the occasion to which excursions from
Galveston, Houston, Dallas and Fort
Worth will be run. 1t is now thought
that an effort to secure the presence OF
Hon. d. W. voorhees, of Indiana
will be successful. Other prominent
speakers will also be present. The
Union Pacific system, through q number
of its prominent officials, has indicated
its readiness TO give strong support to the
enterprise. and if this Is done, as it I'M
doubtedlv will be, Sunset will soon be
recognized rs one of the most important
health and winter resorts IN the United
States. At the reorganization this week
of the Texas wells company Gen. r. A.
Cameron, commissioner of immigration
OF the Fort Worth and Denver railway,
was chosen vice-president. He is be-
lever in the medicinal virtues of the
waters here, and confidently predicts
population of 5000 for Sunset within
the next five years. The Texas
Wells company, in its reorganzed form.
evidently means business, as it starts out
by buying the Maud and Grace addition
of 33l acres, thus combining the two in
terests and increasing their real estate |
holdings Immediately around the wells |
to 1888 acres.
