the new Fort Worth division of the Inter
national and Great Northern--the Texas
rallroad--they do not quite take a new
town along with the construction train and

with which towns, and good ones at that,
spring into being causes establishment not

reasons for the rapid growth OF these new

which the town OF Mart, McLennan county,
Is q notable example; which, from farm
house, store and cotton gin less than year
ago, has become q busting little city Of

vious reasons doubtless are found In the
fact that the cci-atry traversed IL one Of
the richest In the world, as well as one OF
the heaviest freight producing sections In
the state hence these new towns do good
business from the start.
