rived at Plainview and visited
the several leading institutions
of the city, and had the pleasure
to meet some of the new comers
thatiraraddea so" WaterialTy to
the rapid developments in that
part of the country. We called
on the newspaper men and found
them all busy and with a smile
that is t sure sign of prosperity.
Tuesday morning we made our
.way over to Hale Center, arriv-
ing early, and here we found the
livest Uujric'h of uo-to-date busi-
ness mer. that we found on the
eh tire' trip, from' our"- way of
thinking. We spent about an
hour in the town, visiting the
-different business institutions,"
and in our rounds we called at
the newspaper office and found
an old printer friend over there,
who will add materially to the
developments. ~ The newspaper
will be known as Hale Center
Live Wire. - .
The Santa Fe has just passed
through the town and it will
only be a few days until the
town will have railrosd facilities.
Truly there are great things in
the future for such a pushing,
lot of men as Hale Center can
boast of.
We then made our way to the
noted city of Lubbock, where we
had a yood dinner and met many
of her leading citizens.
general good time we left Wed-
nesday morning for home, com-
ing by the way of Lubbock, we
arriaved at Lubbock early and.
spent several hours looking over
the city, viewing the various im-
provements, and gaining infor-
mation as to the prices of lands
and city property. We return-
ed home in the afternoon, bring-
with us that live real estate deal-
er Mr. Andy Wilson, who suc-
ceeded in selling Mr. Bassett a
slice of Luhbuck dirt. All in all
we had a pleasant and profitable
trip. • — -'■■■-
