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.
The Palacios Beacon,
December 22, 1911
