TEXAS PROGRESS.

TEXAS PRO iRSSS.
Work has been resumed on the bank
building at Amarillo. which was abau-
doued by the contractors some weeks
ago. The bank directors have taken the
work in hand and will push il rapidly to
| com pletiou.
A new hotel OF metropolitan proper
tons, says the Post, Is one of the new
enterprises Arlington has the promise Of
getting in the near future.
Mr.. Gus Warnecke was met by n
Houston Herald man to-day and inform ID
him. says that sheet, that he hal just
finished an 80 600 gallon we'll, daily
capacity, on the ranch of Mr.. G. C.
Street, near Harrisburg. At depth
of 200 feet with three-inch pipe Mr.
Warnecke struck an aTtesiau stratum
with the capacity as above inIicatei.
A new hotel has just been completed q,
Mullins. Mills county.
About all the preliminary arrangements
have been completed for establishing q
bank in Arlington in the early part o {
January. 1t will have an abundant cap
ital, and will BE- prepared 10 do Il general
banking business from the start. Ar
lington has long needed such an institu-
lion, and its success Is an assured fact.

capital of $3.50 900, Is being organized at

Vernon is now prepared for fires. She
has IL fine system of wairrwOrks and an
organized fire company With a fine hose
truck and 1000 feet OF hose.
The Norris hotel on WASN'T g:on street,
three stories, j5xi20 feet, is almost COM
pietrd, SAWS the Seymour sun, aud will
soon be ready for Capt. Williams 20 open
IN grand style. 1t is fine piece OF
work.
There is great demand for money In
Wilhar@er county, snys the Vernon
Texan. This is CAUSED by the inability
of the banks to supply the demand.
Their surplus capital is tied up. This
causes ;he farmers to procure loans on
their farms, when il should be. supplied
by local banks. Whether the demand is
greater than usual is not known, but We
think not, aud III. trouble is the banks
are not equal to the occasion.
During the next two months $780,
600 could be loaned here on the best Sc
cnritv. and at u cool rate OF interest.
Another bank with sufficient capital TO
n.eet the demands of the public should
be encouraged aud secured If possible.
The business of the city demands it. and
II should be forthcoming. Farmers who
desire to hold their wheut for better
market should not bs force! to sell be-
cause they cannot borrow money with
proper security. We need bank .ng
house with u capital OF Sl5) 900, aui it
could do good safe looming business
from the outset.
Fifteen new houses are in process Of
construction ut Palestine and several
mere under contract.
