Francitas Celebration

Francitas Celebration
The young but growing and enterprising town of
Francitas , just across the
border in Jackson
county, celebrated the first anniversary of its founding on the four
days from the 9th to the 12th, the exact anniversary day being the
10th. Beside a throng of visitors from neighboring towns, there were
some two hundred or more from Nebraska
, who came to participate in the celebration of building a
Nebraska town on
Texas soil. In town building
and developing the country our Francitas neighbors are setting a
pace which others will have to hustle to keep up with. They are
demonstrating what can be done to
Texas , and further that it
doesn't have a life-time to do it.
