About It.

On Friday evening OF this week the
merchants aud bankers of Kansas City +,
who are making short trip through
Texas, will arrive here.
They will spend all of Saturday in this
city.
They come at their own expense and
in their own private cars. The citizens
of Fort Worth ought to do something 10
entertain these gentlemen who pay US
the pliment of this visit. Thomas
j. Hurley went out to solicit help yes
terday in getting up some appropriate
entertainment, but received very slight
acknowledgement. These gentlemen are
TO be entertained IN Dallas, ana the rep
utation Of Fort Worth is ut stake. They
represent large loan and banking COM
panies, and will form i'm pressions, either
favorable or unfsvornble, Us they pass
along. Cannot something be done by
the bankers to entertain their brother
bankers from Il friendly city? The CHAM
Der of commerce has fund for this
purpose. Cannot that organization be
got together md take some action? Only
a little time remains.
