Th fUfgr of Abilene.
The young pity of Abilene is
situated on the Texas & Pacific
railroad 160 mile west of Fort
Worth. It is the county seat of
Taylor county and is the metropo-
lis of the Abilene Country. It has
a trading area of seventy-five
miles 'wide by about one hundred
and fifty in length. It is well sup-
plied with almost every class of
business and most of these busi-
ness houses are as well stocked
with goods and sell at as low a
rate of profit as one will find any-
where. The main thing still need-
ed here is more manufacturing en-
terprises. There is no richer field
in Texas for manufactories than
at Abilene. The country tributa-
ry to it and from which such in-
dustries would derive a support is
as large as many of the states and
will be as rich a section when fully
developed as can be found in the
entire southwest. Churches of
most of the religious denomina-
tions of the day are established
and a good system of free schools
is conducted most of the year.
Besides the free schools there is a
geographical center of the state
than any other town of any size in
t the state. Its i?eo?ninhical nosi-
"
liou a(Ida still more to itsthauce
of becoming a great commercial
and manufacturing center. It is
so distant from any other town or
city of any importance that their
inteiests will not conflict in the
least with itsgiowth and develop
ment
Mid the rich section of
country of which it is almost cen-
tral is sure to be traversed sooner
or later by important lines of rail-
road and these great developers
will not only have a tendency to
fill up the now sparsely settled
county and most of them have
been surveyed. That they will be
built is only a question of time.
The Santa Fe road promises to be
the first to reach us. After that
we shall look for either the Kock
island or the M. K. : T. road to
bllild tO US from the northeast eX-
' tending the line to a connection
with one of the Mexican roads to
the southwest. The Austin and
Abilene road is chartered and
built as far as Llano and will
i iii . i
eventually ue compieieu io .oi-
lene. The Sail Antonio and Aran-
sas Fuss road is chartered through
this county and if these other
roads come it will. Looking at it
in this light then it is no far-fetched
conclusion that this place will
eventually become a railroad cen -
ter and an important commercial
and manufacturing point. It is
not only one of the possibilities
but one of the probabilities.
