A certificate was received yesterday bv
the officials of the Fort WORT! uatr,,.,
bank from the United States conn .,,r.-
of currency which closes the I.as---.s -

their bank. This institution. now Bsso
paid up capital stock Of $500 COO. an IN,
crease of $3.50 900 as stock since 7..,
The Fort Worth national baak bass
record that indicates its successful rrs,
agement. For ten years rrf7r p,
1854, 1t was a private banking borse
but on the 10th day of March in that Won,
1t was changed to national b7rl,
with capital of Sl25 900, and 3 1rr,f, ~,
$3.50 900. Its success from that date ON
may be appreciated by the inamenss in
crease in capital stock which il found
necessary and advisable to make Tbs
stock was put on the market at ,25 am
every dollar of the increase WIS sr1-
scribed for by the citizens of Fort Worth
and more would have been eagprIv fa,.s,
at that premium. There are ONLY ah,zt
200 shares of the increase place, autsrjs
of Fort Worth, and this Is among nor
sonal friends of the bank The officials
are justly proud of the estimation in
which the merchants and cItizpus of tbi.
city hold the institution, as well IA of tbs
direct evidence 1t furnishes of the growth
or Fort Worth. The bank now has
larger paid up capital stock than the sv-
erage, and it is improbable that another
increase will be rendered necessary. asa
surplus of 500 900 is required 6v law.
and an unlimited surplus can he car.
ried.
FORT WORTH sCBURgS.
A Denver newspaper man who has
been stopping in Fort Worth since the
interstate oattlemen's convention met
here, and whose modesty prevents pub.
LEGATION OF his name, said yesterday:
a stay of several days in Fort Worth
induces the impression that here IS
promising point, having q rich country
directly tributary to it but recently
opened up. 1t may be observed that the
city is situated faverably with regard 10
Its site, geographically speaking, as it
is built upon a hmesteue point.
at considerable elevation above the
surrounding country, being in this re-
spect in marked contrast with the ina
iority of Southwestern cities. The
Trinity river and its branch, the Clear
Fork, encircles the town almost COM
pletely, the business area beng situated.
as it were, upon peninsula, around
which the river flows on all but one side,
and on this narrow neck of land, from
seventy to 100 feet above the river, the
city is now built.
The suburban residences are unsur-
passed IN any city for comfort or els-
gance. The LowTie suburb and the
magnificently planned additions of the
Chamberlin investment company, Por-
ter Raymond & Co. aud others, were
visited repeatedly by leading citizens Of
Denver attending the interstate cattle
convention, and it was con-
oeded without question that Fort
Worth had in its suburbs the
choicest of residence property, fine soil,
and already much growing timber which
can be converted into groves. These
visits TO the great work of opening
roads, avenues, building bridges and
rapid transit lines, determined several
important investments.
In this respect alone Fort Worth will
be largely the gamer by the results of
the recent convention
Several tracts of land have been in
spected, and parties will visit Denver to
form a syndicate to improve them.
