THE first-to our knowledge title

The first-to our knowledge-title
- guaranty company to be formed in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley has been
organized at Edinburg, and application
for charter has been made.
The company will be known as the
Hidalgo Title Guaranty Abstract Com
pany, and it will have a capital stock
of S50,000
Representative w. R. Montgomery of
Edinburg is president of the concern.
M. S. Montgomery is secretary treasurer

new company will take over the business

Real estate, its buying and selling,
development of it's resources, etc, is
really the great industry of the Lower
Rio Crane Valley.
The buying and selling of real estate
is gradually emerging from the colon
ization system that was so much scored
in the earlier days of development. and
is rapidly advancing to the stable basis
that surrounds land values in counties
like Grayson, Denton. Hill, Dallas, Nc
Lehman. Ellis and other counties of the
long settled black land district of Texas.
There has heretofore been little op-
portunity for the development of purely
local real estate dealing in the towns
of the Valley.
Here and there, however. real estate
firms are being established and their
activities are slowly but surely enlarg-
ing. The day is not far distant when
the exchange and barter of real estate
strictly among our "homefolks . will be
the rule rather than the colonization
system.
With this change in the handling o.
the basic source of our wealth. Mother
Earth will come sterilization. title qua
ranty companies, trust companies for
financing real estate, etc.
The fire fighters of the Valley. in
cluding the volunteers and the paid fire
departments, are busily engaged in plan

association, to meet in Harlingen next
June.
Texas railroads provide free trans
portation to the volunteer firemen. and
if the Cisco convention of this summer
can be taken as a basis for what may
be expected there will be 5000 of them
in the Valley.
It's going to be a big job for the
Harlingen boys, but as usual the Valley
will put its shoulders to the wheels
and help stage great meeting.

ceaes has its application under consider
alton, and Mission is also to have free
delivery. McAllen already has carrier
delivery. as has Brownsville
The Brownsville. Herald has had free
delivery in all these cities for many
moons.
Willacy County has called an election
to be held October II, on the proposition
to vote a bond issue of 100000 for
the purpose of constructing a first class
highway across the county, north and
south.
The road would connect with the
Cameron county highway near Combe
station. and with a proposed road
through Kennedy county, on the north
side of Willacy county.

wav would give Willacy County q first.
