Colony of 1000 Old Soldiers at
tGeraldine, Texas.
Located Near the Rock Islands
Eft. Worth Line.
40 900 ACRES OE LAND
10000 ACRES OF LAND.
Will Be known as American
Tribune Colony.
Rock Island Expecting a Rush
Rush OF Travel.

During the latter part of this month
the Rock Island will haul a share of
1000 people to Geraldine, Tex, a colony
being formed near Wichita Falls.
1t will be known as the American
Tribune colony, and the promoter of the
colonization scheme is Publisher Fitz-
gerald of the American Tribune, of in
dianapolis, Ind, which has a large cir
culation among G. A. R. circles, and
who was the founder of the Fitzgerald
colony at Fitzgerald, Ca
The colony will be located in the
north tier of counties in Texas just
west of the Fort Worth line of the Rock
Island railway. The Rock Island is
making preparations to carry about
1000 people to Holiday, Tex, during
the latter part of this month, from
which point they will make their way
to the colony property
The colony company is in possession
of about 900 acres of land that Is
valued a from So to SO per acre The
land has heretofore been used almost
exclusively for grazing purposes, and is
not in cultivated condition.
The settlers who come to the colony,
1t is planned, will all be old soldiers.
The plan is primarily to give old SOL
dierS an opportunity to get a home
cheaply. The land is divided into
quarter sections. Every alternate piece
stock company that is formed to handle
the business of the colony, while the
other quarter sections will be sold to
the settlers at the low rate of 81 per
acre The land will in this manner be
divided half in half. every alternate
quarter section still remaining unoc-
cupied The mere fact that the sur
rounding land is being settled makes the
land that is held in trust by the stock
company more valuable, consequently
when it is sold it helps balance up for
what the company lacks in selling the
first land to the old soldiers al the low
price of 81 per acre.
Every one who secures land under
these circumstances must remain on
the land and improve it People VINO
want to go in for speculation are shut
out, and only bona fide settlers will be
allowed to buy the land.
Geraldine will be made the principal
city of the colony, and it will be on
the line of the Fort Worth & Denver
City railway The project is attracting
considerable attention throughout the
United States.

and the publication of political life
What use to plead for suffrage with
those whose apathy about their own
suffrage has become a byword and a re-

'Of course he is with us The brain
that conceived the idea of the regiment

first to recognize magnificent war ma

to perceive another waiting host,a great
