all dealers reporting good inquiry and
considerable trading. The bulk Of the
sales are to homs- seekers, or home
makers rather; that is, buyers want
the lots either to build residence
of their own or to improve with
neat cottages aud rent the same.
One firm yesterday sold four lots, on
which four houses will be built at once.
It is this feature of the real estate deal
ing in Fort Worth at this time which
makes it so satisfactory. Among the
sales yesterday was that of l60 acres sew
en- miles south of town for $40 per acre

board, met at the parsonage of the First
Methodist CHURCH, with Bishop Key pre-
siding, and negotiations were entered
into with Mr.. H. W. Tallant
of the Chamberlin investment
company, which resulted most sat-
isfactorily. A charter was adopted
which will be recorded at Austin in a
few days. The college receives a dona-
ton in fee simple of twenty-five acres of
ground on Arlington Heights, fifteen
minutes ride from the board of trade
building by electric cars, and near
magnificent thoroughfare which Will
enable people TO dr. We to the college
from the city in u few minutes. In the
center of this twenty five acres, a grand
site for the college the building will be
located, the total improvements to cost
at least 500, 600. In addition to
this gift of twenty five acres the college
gets an undivided one half interest in
fifty blocks of ground containing forty
lots each. Only at the end of ten years
will the unsoId lots revert to the
donors and it is more than proba-
BILE that long before that time
all the lots will be sold, for more de-
sirable place of residence than near such
a magnificent institution of learning
cannot be found. In honor of this proud
and beautiful city the name be-
slowed upon this institution is
Fort Worth College and the
liberal people of this city will doubtless
recognize this action by generous con-
trlbutiou to the endowment fund of the
college, which should not be less than
500, 900. The board of trustees Is COM
posed of the best men of our
city and state and headed by
the eloquent and godly Bishop
Key they will see that all possible things
are done for the good of this institution
and the consequent benefit of this Chris
tian community. At least 200 pupils
will be in attendance short time after
the college is opened and here yearly
will cause the relatives and friends of
these pupils TO see them graduate and
to the closing exercises at the college.
The moral influence of this college for
Fort Worth will be inestimable and the
fact that it is here will attract the GLASS
of people desirable above all
others as residents. It was
Inc 6ApT6SS6u OF
to begin work on the buildings just as
