SMALL FARMS WANTED.
run PROBABLE FORMATION OF A
pUxKARD COLONY IN TAR
RANT COUNTY SOON.
A valuable Class of Agrfouiturists
who win Arrive Here From
Missouri Next Month

It Is frequently heard suggested that
one of the most especial needs for this
part OF Texas Is to attract hither n
large numbvr OF agrlculturallsts of
the class generally known as small
farmers" and the consequent division
of large tracts OF land into farms OF an
acreage suitable for their means OF In
vestment and ability OF cultivation. II
is generally conceded that to secure
such n class of valuable residents In
Tarrant county would mean a great
deal for the development OF the county
and would largely contribute to the up
building and prosperity Of Fort Worth.
The real estate men OF the city state
that for some time past there have
been many inquiries from people In
N~"'Norr ~ra wcs'er- s'ptes as to tho
prices OF land. climatic conditions and
general opportunities for the agrlcul-
tunst In tnls part OF eAAs. Many OF
these lnquiiicH come from the class of
farmers above designated. men with
small means, but skilled farmers who
are attracted to Texas from states
which do not afford the same advan-
tage OF coll, climate and o3her condi-
tlons necessary for the successful pur-
ruit Of agriculture.
Already there has been some lmmi-
grafton by this class OF farmers to
Tarrant and contiguous counties. and
II Ii deemed by those Interested In the
substantial development of the county
TO be very desirable to attract here as
many more OF the same kind Of people
ms can be comfortably accommodated
upon our broad acres OF undeveloped
land
few months ago two families of n
sect known as Dunkards or Thinkers
came to this county from Missouri and
bought 1850 acres OF land In the vcln-
ity OF the village OF Saginaw, twelve
miles north OF Fort Worth II seems
that the settlement Of these two faml.
Hes has been an attraction TO num-
Der of their denomination from the
same part OF the country. Between the
18th and 18th OF next month some
thirty or forty families OF Thinkers will
arrive here from Versailles. Morgan
county. Missouri. for the purpose OF
bnyins farms and making n settle
ment.
People here from Virginia. Pcnnsyi-
vnnia and from many OF the Western
sthtcH are well acquainted with the
Tunkers or Dunkarda. In those states
they are quite numerous and they
FORM valuable class OF citizens, AL
most without exception they are an eN.
tremely thrifty and industrious people.
temperate In their habits and excellent
farmers. Wherever they dwell by their
Industry they cause the country 10
blossom like the rose. They have a
FORM OF religious worship peculiar to
themselves. and n church n always To-
be found In every community. II In be-
ncved that many OF these people will
nnd u to their advantage to buy land
IN TINS county and settle here.
