The movement in Fort Worth IN OPP

lows.
We the undersigned business men OF

the passage OF bill introduced In the
house OF representatives OF the state
OF Texas by MIR. Chambers OF Montague
county looking to the amendment of
article 1888. chapter 4, title rs, of the
Revised Statutes. being an act regu-
lating the venue or civll cases in dis
trlct and county courts; In so far as
said amendment feils to provide for
contractual venue and fails TO permit
suit on obligations In writing (promls-
Ing performance IN particular place.
In the county whore defendant has con-
tracted to perform such obligation.
This paper was carried around yes
terday by Mr.. Armstrong and in two
hours time the names OF nearly fifty
prominent business men OF the city
We're signed TO II. Among these are u
number OF bankers and Wholesale mer-
chants. As estimated by Mr.. ARM

The business men are almost unnni-
nous In their opposition to the pro-
posed amendment. and one Wholesale
merchant OF Fort Worth Is quoted US
saying that the passage OF the bill
would be equivalent to driving his firm
out OF business. as the amendment
would render the collecting OF bills
and notes In fNr-oft counties 30 diif-
cult and costly that It would almost
destroy the profits Of business.

Guthrie. o. T.. Feb, s,--snow began
to fan last Sunday and fell to a depth
OF inches. The weather Is very cold
and no prospect OF sunshine today.
The ground has been covered with
snow for the past week. We have
had a very mild winter up to this
snow storm. The snow will greatly
benefit the farmers and stoclxmen, as
water was getting scarce and no sea-
son in the ground.
Fire broke out In the Lynn & Potter
saloon building. but the flames were
soon extlnguished and but little dam
age was done.
Guthrie still enjoys a small building
boom. Two new residences built within
the past week.
