OUU RAILROAD SYSTEM.
Port Worth the Railroad Center of Hortli
Texas.
Roada Constructed and Projected.
A i
A glance at the railroad map on
this page, which we assure the
reader is impartial and correct,
will demonstrate beyond contro-
versy that Fort Worth is destined
to be the railroad center of North
Texas. Other cities may lay claim
to as great a number of railroads
as our own city, but the claim can-
not be substantiated by the facts.
Another and very material point
is that 'the roads radiating from
.Fort Worth penetrate every section
of the state. The Texas and Pa-
cific, from Texarkana to El Paso,
crosses the entire state from east
to west, with the Trans-continen-
tal branch from Texarkana to Fort
Worth, traversing the northern
tier of counties, among the richest
and most productive in the state.
The Missouri Pacific, extend-
ing from Denison, on the northern
border, passes through the rich
counties lying west of the Cross
Timbers, and connecting with the
International forms a continuous
line from the northern boundary
to the extreme southwestern bor-
der of the state. The
GULF, COLORADO AND SANTA FE, j
extends from the Gulf, to this i
point, and preparations are now
pending for the extension of the
T ; to the north and west, thus
irnishing a line diagonally across
the state from the Bed Eiver to
the Gulf. The
FORT WORTH AND DENVER.
When the map was ordered from
the foundry this was put down as
a projected line. By the time this
reaches our readers, work will
have been inaugurated on this
line. Steel rails have a’ready
been purchased, and one thousand
cars have been contracted for.
This line extends in a northwest-
wardly d rection through the Pan
Handle to Denver, Colorado. By
its connection with the Texas and
Pacinc at this point it lias direct
connection with New Orleans. A
projected road to the southeast
will certainly be constructed.
Negotiations are pending to ac-
complish this.
THE NARROW GAUGE SYSTEM.
The Texas and St. Louis Narrow
Gunge, the East Line, and the
Fori Worth and Eio Grande are
indicated on the map as projected
lines. In the spirit of fairness and
accuracy, inasmuch as no iron is
actually laid on these roads, but
these lines are as certam to he
.constructed as anything human is
certain. We have assurances
from the former road that it will
be- extbiidbd heFe in the near1 fu-
ture. The engineers are now en-
gaged in making the profile and
estimates of the Fort Worth and
Bio Grande, which will extend to
the southwest. Thus it will be
seen that each and every portion
of the entire state is and soon will
be connected with Fort Worth by
rail.
The effect of this upon the com-
merce of the place can easily be
conjectured. It is easily dis-
cernable that this system must
make this* the great distributing
point of North Tex .s, and here
will, in a comparatively short time,
be located factories of all kinds,
because of the easy means of
transporting the products and
fabrics of mills and shops to all
parts of the state.
We commend a careful study of
this system to the capitalists who
proposes an investment, or the
tradesman seeking a location to
engage in business.
.SOMETHING NEH
THE SUN.
UNDER
An Old Theory Exploded.
The old theory that there is nothing
new under the sun has been exploded this
year. There has been so many new and
startling events that the reader of cur-
rent news is not surprised at almost any
announcement that is made, and prepared
to accept as true almost any assertion, no
nutter how extraordinary it may appear
at iirst sight. The readers of the Demo-
crat are advised that there is something
new to be seen in Fort Worth, anil it in-
vites them to make the inspection. This
is nothing more nor less than the new
and sparkling invoice ot
JEWELRY IN NEW DESIGNS,
just received by the leading jeweler of the
city, Howard Tuily. borne of the. patterns
o', his new goods are as unique in style
as finish. New styles of chains, neck-
laces, bracelets and setts lor the ladies;
watches and vest chains of new patterns
for the gentlemen; new styles ol plated
and silverware for every body. Verily,
there are a great many things new under
the sun at Tally’s. Go and see them,
d&wtf.

The public are hereby notified that 1
have purchased what is known as the Ma-
rine Dairies, together with the cows, farm
houses, wagons, etc., etc., and tiie custom
and good will of Milt C. B >wlt s & Bro.,
