A GRANDJUBILEE.
LIN Cincinnati, Beginning. July 4.

An event of national Importance
begins in Cincinnati on the
nations birthday DULY 4th) and
will continue uninterruptedly for
|one hundred days and nights, or
until October 9th. This is the
Centennial Exposition of the Ohio
Valley and Central States, design
ed to commemorate the one hun
dredth anniversary of the first
white settlement of the great
Northwest territory.
The business element of the
Queen City having raised guaran
teed fund of over one million dol
lars to defray the expenses of the
enterprise, the Board of Commits
sloners have been enabled to make
preparations On magnificent
scale, and having erected colossal
structures, which, in addition to
the permanent ones used for many
years for like purpose, gives to
the affair better facilities than ever
enjoyed by an Exposition in the
country.
The cooperation of eleven States
immediately surrounding Ohio,
from all of which separate displays
will be sent, and the reinforce
ment of the General Government,
which promises an exhibit of rare
value, places the Cincinnati Cen
tennial Exposition on national
plane, and will attract attention
from all over the world.

Who'll Kill Cincinnati.

4 The saloon-keepers are as mad as
ornets over the parody on 'Cock
,obin,' which has been posted on
be walls and fences all over the
fty. These gentlemen CT the sa-
bon fraternity are indignant at any
ELECTION upon their business. A
bmmittee has been appointed to
ecertain it's authorship. This is
be felicitous travesty of which
hey so grievously complain:
WHO'LL KILL CINCINNATI
/, said the saloon
I'll kill her soon,
I'll kill Cincinnati.
Who'll break the law?
I'll monkey with that saw
I, the saloon;
I of the "privlleged class"
I'll not let it pass
l, the saloon.
Who'll control the Judge?
I'll not let him bulge
/, the saloon.
Who owns Cincinnati
l that sell beer,
I own it here
I, the saloon.
NoTIoE-Shall this "privileged
class" Gefy the law, manipulate our
Courts and kill Cincinnati?
A prominent saloon-keeper, Mr..
D. R. Wolff, thus expressed himself
relative to this poster:
"We propose to sift this thing to
the bottom. The saloon business
Is a legitimate business under the
laws of Ohio, and should be protec-
FED from such scurrilous attacks as
This. If the guilty parties are dis
lowered, we propose to see that they
pre- prosecuted for conspiring to in
: ure lawful business. We are in
Earnest, and do not propose to let
up until we have unearthed the fell
lows who did it. Some Of US sus.
pect the Law and Order League"
This poetry seems to have hit the
bulPs-eye in the accuracy of its aim,
for there is general following
with pain all along the saloonatic
line,-Neao Era.

Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1888-01-29
AULBLANG SYNE.

A gentleman from Nashville, Tenn,
sends THE GAZETTE copy of the Fort
Worth Democrat, dated December IA,
1879. 1t recalls old times, when every
man in Fort Worth had two pair of boots,
one for fsir weather and one for the black
waxY when its courage had been screwed
to the sticking point by heavy rains, for
there were no gravel and sidewalks in
those days.
December IA, 1879, only eight and a
half years SGD, and the Democrats time
table reported only the schedule OF the
old reliable, the Texas and Pacific,
while now THE GAZETTE (the lineal
descendant OF the Democracy reports the
schedules of more railroads than center
at any place south of St. Louis.
Captain Paddock was editor Of the
Democrat in those days, and yet, strange
to say, there was not a single allusion to
Dallas in the issue before ue, but there
was q vigorous discussion of the bell
punch law.
Many of the names of the advertisers
in the Democrat of 1879 may yet be seen
above the doors of Fort Worth business
houses, but many mole are gone; some
to Ell Paso, some to heaven, but none to
Dallas.
This old Democrat is full of suggestions
of the rapid growth of Fort Worth, and it
is a pleasure to know that its editor is
still with us, working now, ss in 1879, tc
push the proud young city along.
