STATE rRrss REVIEW.

Az 10 have fair, srd the idea is good one,
Every county in the state ought really TO
have fair association with syearly exhibi-
ton. Nothing tends more to advertise a
county, show up its good qualities and make
known its resources, facilities and advantages.
WHY Dallas county, with its large populs-
tion, its accessibility, its splendid and varied
products and its inuumerable advantages,
does not have an annual fair is something
beyopi our comprehension. The Msgnet
says:
Tbe suggestion submitted by a citizsn in
our last issue thst 20 organize fair sssocia-
tion Ia Camps worthy OF consideration, and
should be acted upon. Such organizations
eyist in many counties OF smaller prelensions
than Camp and are found TO be very prohts-
he ia inducing sgricultutsts and stock rails
ers to seek higher plane ia tnelr respective
industries. There is nothing thit would be
a greater ADVERTISEMENT OF The county and its
material resources than such an orgsnizs-
zion and its successful operation would be
felt throughout the county. A little eater
nri.e and concentrated action would soon
IL,
be perpetusted with pleasure rs we'll as
nro6t 1t would cause hundreds of dollars
10 flow into the county, ifhbersl inducements
were offered our neghboring. counties 10 join

The Jelfersoa Democrat abiding to the
malicious remarks of some of the northern
republican papers, and unfair ones of some
of the southern journals concerning ex-Pres-
iient Jefferson Davis aud his speech at the
upyellipg of the "Stone Wall" Jackson statue
at New Orleans, says:
There is no man moro misunderstood. we
feel aa' ured, than Mr.. Jefferson Davis, and
his brief uttersnces have given
his enemies, at various times, opportunities
to misrepresent and malign him. Some men
talk too much, but it has been the misfortune
OF this distinguished statesman that nc has
talked too little. We regret very much,
as ons of his admirers and friends, that he
has not long since sought an occasion to sci
himself right before the world, and especially
before the people Of this country. Ii his
views were properly understood, he would be
as highly esteemed in the north as he is ven
Grated and loved 10 the south But in such
speech ho must con6ne himself mainly
to the living present. and to prospective
view of the great future in which higher
agency than msn is shaping the destinies OF
this continent. The expression that imam
proposes but God disposes," was never more
evident in human affairs than is with US, and
we nave 10 doubt it is as manifest TO Mr..
Dsyis rs to any living man. Mr.. Davis has
been criticised go oflen Snd go unkindly that
hehas grown over cautious. Heis misuuderN
stood snd h. Dug to embrace the tirstoppor
tunity that eff rs to SGT himself night before
the people, not as 4, concession to those that
hate him, but in Justice TO himself, and as a
mark of spect to his frienda.
Mr.. Davis is far above and beyond the
reach of the lbels of the mendscious stall
w4rt press of the north and the senstle
gbber of those southern papers that presume
to critcise him. Tine will vindicate him and
the principles he served so faithfully, yet,
and like the moon that moves msjestically
on despite the snsrliDgs and beyings that
nightly greet it, he pursucs the even tenor Of
his way undisLurbed.
We clip the following from the Navssota
Tablet, which explains itself There have
been men who run two papers, "botf
daily" and we know our confrere of the
Tablet can run two, both weekly. We shall
look out for the Abilene Reporter:
The editor oftho Tablet spent last week q,
Abilene, the new town on the L. " L. rail-
way in Taylor county, and was SO favorably
impressed with the wonderful growth of the
town, the rapid development Of the county
and the thrift and enterprise of tho people
that be is too busy preparing to go there and
establish the Abilene Reporter, to make q
report Of the trip and his observations this
week. 1t was not his intention TO assume The
control of two newspapers, as one is big
enough elephant for one man; but circum.
stances beyond his control (the simple
backing out ofthe purchaser of the Tablet
after his oblis cations at AbileHe) not only
places him in an awkward position, but will
cause him some loss. However, we will
guarantee Navasota and Grimes county q
newspaper fully commensurate with the
patronage it may receive, until half interest
can be sold TO some good man who will make
the usual improvement.
Westherford has railroad problem, which
the times is trying to solve. lLtells the goot
people of that thriving young city how to dc
i!and if they will heed the advice given
they will surely profit by it. After speaking
of the immensely Of rsirosd enterprise al
over the state, the Times asks its people
what they ought to do in their own behalf
and then answers thus wise:
Certainly not to lie down o"c ro7mit ou
neighbors TO override strip hs in tht
race for the coming gtoadclr in Texas, Il:

her prominent localities. While Fort Worth
Is fortunate in having Jay Gould to will

circumstances and to center within the limit
Of that wide awake city several lines Of rail

avenues of trade and commercial prosperity
