Farmers Branch, on the Dallas County Ridge, was ready for the visitors. Major R. J. Jett, for many years a business man of Dallas, was chairman of the reception committee.  He was a wholesale grocer in 1870, and built the first brick store on Elm street, on the east side of Lamar, from Elm to Pacific.  He was from Arkansas, a schoolmate of the father of County Judge John L. Young, and often visited watermelon patches with him, operating in three States - Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.  Farmers Branch wants an interurban from Dallas to Denton, and announces ready to take stock. W. L. Good, Mrs. D. R. Bird, T. F. Taliaferro, Mrs. E. W. Asbury and George N. Dennis were in the receiving line. All are merchants of Farmers Branch.
