lures snch as making OF frames, etc. All the

ladies' residir q at Dallas.
The above is taken from the Dallas
department ofTHE GAZETTE of ester
day, and by this we are reminded that
the ladies of this city and county have
not yet effected an organization to
provide for proper representation a;
New Orleans; indeed The GAZETTE is
not apprised of any effort to secure
representation there. To the ladies of
Tarrant county and Fort Worth The
GAZETTE appeals. AT New Orleans
will be gathered people from all parts
of the world, and these will carry
back to their homes descriptions of
what they have seen. Every exhibit
will be an advertisement of the section
and community from whence it comes.
Home'seekers and investors will be in-
iluenced by what they see and by the
reports carried back to them by those
who attend the Worlds exposition.
Let the ladies of our county and city
take the lead in this matter. Tarraut
county has room for many more farm
ers-the city aspires to grow. In no
better way can the products of our
frms-in no better way can the evi.
dences OF our civilization be carried to
the world than by an exhibition at
New Orleans, TO be seen 10y hundreds
of thousands of people from all parts
of the world.
In the public estimation Fort Worth
and Tarrant county are away out on
the frontier; many people really be-
lieve that this is the home of n federal
garrison which protects the country
from Indians. An exhibit Of our
farm products will disabuse the public
mind of this impression aud show the
, wonderful fertility of our soil and It's
, advantages to home-seekers; an eXhi
Z bition by the ladies will prove the ex
istence of refinement in our midst
r which could not be If this were
1 frontier" town and country. Let tn,
ladies inaugurate the movement, FOL
in all good works they lead. Let eact
!, of them become missionary in tn,
a cause and the men will listen. Tar
4 rant county and Fort Worth should
, have special exhibition-one that
l. would attract especial attention. AL
% Texas will be represented to this gu
n county and town will contribute-bu
d Tarrant and Fort Worth have repti
It tation for enterprise, and nowher
r could 1t be demonstrated to create
ar practical benefit than at New Orleans
rs VIII the ladies not move in thi
q. matter? Let them call meeting an,
N organize, Nothing is ever accom-
or plished without organization. LIE
a there be general committee and sub
10 committees, that each and every pre-
If cinct In the county and town may b
g. aroused to action. The ladies can d
is 1t If any body can, and The GAzErr
h, shall be their organ in the good work
ne Our columns are free to them, au
On shall be until the work is accomplished
The first thing to do is to organic,
and the ladies' all over the count
should begin the good work. Loo,
,,a organizations can meet and effect
~ county organization, and II once til
"a ladies interest themselves the men wi
T, follow. What say THE GAZETTE
