coming fair will he the laFe..st and most /
important IN many respects. which has
ever Sc, been acid IN the state Our |
people are fn;ly aroused to the great inn
por.ance OF building ap here the lead |
ing agricultural, mechanical and stock

spsct this is the mos; fitting point, being

and also The very centre and core OF
the agricultural operations Of the state
Here our people are fully alive 10 their
peerless advantages of soil, climate and
transportation, and here they are dis
posed TO concentrate the Interest in
these exhibitions. Il is ali toby to
think Of exciting general interest in
mere county fairs. While they are use
iul ard even necessary as a sort OF local
aunusl exchange which ought to be
iaslered and encouraged in every way,
/ yet the history of such enterprises re-
Yaais the truth, that, rs rule, not more
than one fair OF commanding interest
can be built up and sustained in one
state. After a varied and trying expe-
rienee in 2 csustic rivalry generally. PEG

proud, and which is of vast utility t.

experience Of all the Older states, and
! will prove to be the case finally in
Texas.
