Your correspondent Is most iiLreen
bly di?uppolnted in the general nj
peaninco and busluCHH make-up of
this charming little village Ho imd
heard that Weathcrford wits a "dead
town" nnd altogether mot undesira
ble as u place to live a, and unpromis
ing us a place for business.
lie finds tlio facts just tho reverse.
Wcatherrord is not dead, but a living,
thriving, prosperous, beautiful town
ono of tho prettiest and most inviting
lu Texas, fairly built up and enjoying
a trade that assures lta permanent
prosperity and gradual incrcabo in
population and wealth. Nestled here
among tho picturesque hills, it has
neat buildings', clean streets,
linndsome residences, good water
mid plenty of fuol. Tlio
corporate limits of Weathcrford are
somewhat circumscribed, being a
squaro of l.liOO yards. The taxable
property within thc-e limits is returned
tills year at $750,000, while the sub
urban property, which is properly
couutcw in as city property, i9 esti
mated at about the game amount, thus
making a total valuation of $l,fiQ0,000.
The population, including the stib
uronn inhabitants, is estimated by the
city officers and others equally well
informed, at a minimum of .1,000.
Judging from a birds-eye view of the
city, taken Irom Oyster Heights, (n
lofty peak, formed of ocean shells,
overlooking the city,) the wiitcr
doubts not tho estimate is rather be
low than above the mink.
There are about one hundred and
tlrty business liout-es in the city in
cluding shops and offices three fiour
ing mills, two grist mills, three cotton
gins, two national banks, four hotels,
to-wit: The Carson ifc LowW House,
ono of the best in North Texas, and
very far superior in cleanliness, neat
ness, service and accommodations to
anything in Fort Worth; the Sykcs,
tho Weathcrford and the MeFall.
There are nine churches, and the peo
ple attend them, several private
schools, a female academy mid tho
Wcitlierfurd free graded school.
Tho latter is conducted in tho
Majonle Institute a large, hnndi-onie
brick structure that accommodates 000
pupils, which is about the number of
legiateietl white children. A school
tax of J per cent, is iovitd and ap
plied aa in othur elites that have taken
charge of their own educational ailUlrs.
Tlio other publi" buildings consist of a
beautiful new court house nnd a com
modious lull, both blltlt of tifnUimn
h-ock of variegated colors, Thp taxa
ble values or the county are given in
nt$a,irl,S04, which is believed to be
less than one-half tho actual value.
ihe.ie Is ono jifcwsnaper here

Your correspondent has met many
of the lending citizens of Weathcrford
and is pleased to refer to them n In.
( telllgent, courteous ami companion
able gentlemen. They have, without
exception, given your fcnreseniatlvo
a generous greeting, and spoken well
ol tho Qazkitk. The Hon. 8, W. T.
rmnhani, congressman-elect irom the
Eleventh District, resides hero, and it
was a source of infinite pleasure to
your correspondent to find in him a
native of his own heath, n gentleman
of tho highest social ami hospitable
qualities, rcmarkablo intelligence and
powers of intellect equal to the exalted
Million to which nn appreciative people
has elevated him. IIo is a gentleman
lu every i-enso of that term, gifted with
high manhood, and will make his
mark in the councils of tlio nation.
"Selr-mado," albeit, lie Is moro in tho
