MARVELOUS DEVELOPMENTS OF A FORTUNATE AND
PLUCKY TOWN.
Many New Entcrpr
provemcntc
Greenville la a fortunate city. It will
soon be the metropolis of North Texas.
IU relative geographical position; the
.nut.ftf Biirpnimdincr country and
rich quality of soil: it proximity to
forests of excellent timber and mount
ains of the best iron ana coat in im
world, together with its superior rail
way facliit'ea gives to Greenville pre-
.nonlttr in thn crreat State
of Texas. CJouplod with this I wish to
add Greonvillo is fortunately situated
in the immediate path of all the pro-

jected snort lines oi rauwaj, uol,l;''u
on the south and Kansas City and SU
Louis to the north, and is designated
the division and distributing point of
all those roads. It is at present the
most important shipping point on the
great M,. K. &T. railway syBtem, which
company have consummated arrange
diouts centering all their car and ma
ihlne shops here and making this the
antral city .of their system of railways.
. The M., K.& T. railway Bhops, to
cost not loss than seventy-five thonsand
dollars, i.ave been located here, and
when voiupletod will give employment
to eight hundred men. In addition to
this expenditure the company will also
build a now passenger depot to cost
twentv thousand dollars and a railroad
hospital to cost at least twenty-five
thousand dollars: build new yards and
switches to coe forty thousand dollars
and make other substantial and costly
improvements to accommodate the ex
tensive business of their several lines
entering this city.
The above named improvements, to
gether with the business of the general
offices of the JL,K.&T. railway com
pony, to be moved here in a few months,
will add about four thousand people to
the population of the city and will give
employment to at least one thousand
men. The pay roll of the men who will
receive their pay at this place will
amount to aver one-half a million dol
lars per annum.
A new short line of railway will be
built during the present year from
Greenville to Galveston, giving; th'
city a more direct connection and bring
ing it 100 miles nearer deep water than
ills by the lines La operation at pres
ent. The Texas Central hare buflt to with

will finish their line to this city la a few
weeks, where they wUl build extensive

yards and switches, and erect elegant
passenger and freight depots.
The Mineola branch will also be ex
tended south and east through the
great forest of timber and mountains of
the beet iron in the world. This exten
sion will be of great importance to the
manufacturers at Greenville, also to the
railway company, as it will provide su
perior facilities for procuring lumber
andiron for the factories, car and ma
chine shops, and for other purposes, at
a low price. A thirteen-foot vein of
coal recently discovered, Ilea a few miles
south of Greenville, on the line of the
M., K. & T. railway; several carloads of
which have boen shipped to the city,
and those who have used it pronounce
it an excellent quality of coal. It can be
delivered here in small lots at two dol
lars per ton, and to manufacturers at a
much lower price.
A company of eastern capitalists have
been testing the iron of eastern Texas
with satisfactory results and now con
template locating a large oar wheel
foundry in this city to manufacture car
wheels and other castings for several
extensive systems of railway. The mas
ter mechanic of the M., K. it T. at Par
sons has given severe testa to wheels
made from iron procured in east Texas
and pronounoes them "the beet of any
malcein use." i o me oateei nis re
port a trial set of these wheels had run
98,000 miles without a single evidence
of a break. He says 60,000 miles is a
good run for any other make of wheel.
These wheels have also been tried on
the Texas Padfio with the same good
results, and Superintendent Elliott says
"they are the best wheel made." Twenty-five
hundred of these wheels are also
in use on the L & G. N- and not one
has yet broken, and their work is con
sidered inarvelous. The plant to be
built here will employ from SOO to 00
men.
Another oompany of capitalists have
had a representative here for several
weeks contemplating arrangements to
bulla a plant in wnicn to manuiacture
all kinds of woodwork, including pas
senger coach, sleeping ear and street
car oodles, also a newly patented, much
improved dining car. It is said the
last named company will co-operate
with the car wheel concern and the two
will fill special contracts for all kinds of
cars oomplete. The two conn pan las will
employ seven hundred to one thousand
men.
The large furniture factory and other
concerns are now in full operation, and
prosperity smiles on every face.
A 150,000 opera house and at23,CC9
ward school house are now under pro
cess of construction. The contract far
building the magnificent state normal
college will be let in a few days, and a
large number of business blocks and
residences will be built during the year.
Greenville, the capital of Bunt
county, is situated in the richest belt of
land in the world. During the year 1890
this county produced agricultural pro
ducts to the amount of over 13,000.000,
The several products consisted of f&,
000 bales of cotton, bringing 12,000,000;
1,500.000 bushels of corn, never failing
to bring 50 cents January 1st, 1750,000;
80,000 bushels of sweet potatoes at aa
average price of 75 cents per bushel,
160,000; cotton seed. 1200,000; all other
crops, such as Irish potatoes, wheat,
millet hay, fruits, etc., 1800,000; beeves,
mules and horses, 1250,000. tasking a
grand total of over 13,000,000.
Hunt county consists of 8C9.000 acres
of land, of which only 139,000 are in cul
tivation and only 21,000 acres of
waste land in the entire county. At the
present rate of progress among the new
settlers there will be 500,000 acres .la
cultivation in five years, and the pro
duct will bring at least seven mHJoa
dollars per annum. To-day, with 273,
000 acres in cultivation, Greenville
the county seat, flourishes with a pop
ulation of over 6,000 people. WitfctU
increase of acreage of cultivated lasii,
the city will sustain at least ;0,CC0 p

source alone. To this add the xoary
