ing the required assistance from the

machinery at the county will not do;
cannot In the nature of things take the
matter In hand, aud individuals without
organization cannot bc depended upon.
There h, In word, but one way To- reach

TO place Texas before the world 90,

organizations. one hundred counties,
Trough these auxiliary societies, ought
20 raise 5000 each easily. Let each
county see to its own exhibit, and each
try to give itself the greatest promi-

such representative counties rs nal-
las, Grayson, Tarrant, Travis, McLcn-
nan, BcXar, Harris, Galveston, Navarro
and host of others ought in Justice TO
themselves form big auxiliary societies,
and spend thousands in their eY-
hibits. They ought, too, to have
"a representative at New Orleans
during the whole of the Exposition
talking up their community and ill.,
ducing the immigration of capital and
population.
To all the counties where Exposition
societies have not already been organ
lied we say, "go to work at once. Organic
aud work up an interest in this grandest
of all southern exhibits" No time is to
be lost, for the Exposition will open now
in less than four months.
The Commissioner has arrived at
most satisfactory understanding with
The railways. They will give the very
lowest fares and carry all bona tide
county exhibits free of charge, so that
few hundreds will enable any
county to make even a bril-
liant display. The railway corpora
tons have acted very generously and
nicely. They have manifested the
proper interest in our Texas exhibit and
have kept up with the most advanced
progress and liberality in the premises
and are entitled to the gratitude of the
people. Let the people do as much for
themselves as the roads are willing to
do, and we shall have no cause to com
plain.
The Commissioner is now back in the
State to look after and urge the organ
ization OF these auxiliary county socie-
ties, and ought to have enthusiastic en-
dorsement and encouragement every
where. Let not the good work stop for
Il moment.
