A Bureau of Information.
Pilot Point needs some way of
furnishing Information to parties abroad
wbo are desirous o{ learning about our
section with a view of moving bere.
Letters of Inquiry are often received by
private cltzens. There is no little
trouble and some expense attached to
answering such letters, and no one feels
it his special duty to do ao, and thus
many a <1 ini ruble cltsen is lost to Texas
and our vicinity for lack of information
and encouragement. If it is desirable
to have our country more thickly set-
tled, the matter should be taken In band
and eaoh bear bla proportion of tbe ex-
pense and trouble In wbat is for tbe
good of all. Will some one start the
mveatent?
