Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-09-29

News is here for Dallas and for business.

owes the News, and by contract agrees

is all right? Not if the court knows

service and carried out its contract, and
why release the other party? But the
| News did not sue the fair association.
The association owed the News and paid
by installments and was allowed its time,
| any time, to cover the amount These
are the facts, and all other statements
are vile ISLANDERS on the News, and this

if the News knew the name of the per-
son who concocted the ISLANDERS as it does
under the present condition of not being
| able so far to place the responsibility
The patience of tins paper is fatigued when
such a story as this marine yarn is
told about "a suit against the fair associa-
ton. The purpose of the falsifier IS to
select some popular pet measure IN which
all Dallas and Texas is wrapped up and
then show that the News stands apart
from the people in its cOld-bloOded,
squeezing attitude to the popular idol.
Does this plotter know that the News
had in its news columns. in the estate

held something about the fair, some
mention in a favorable way, so as to
keep the great event before the people?
Does he know Nhat the News, in both
papers, in that branch at Galveston and
in the little giant here in Dallas, kept
the interest in the fair stirred up to such
point that every paper in Texas and
all the people talked fair day in and out
and bet their money it would draw full
hand when it opened? And for this con-
genial, delightful labor in behalf of the
fair the News got not cent and did not
ask cent, and the fair people did not
know that the News would do as it did
till they saw it with their own. eyes il the
daily issues of the paper. Ask j. B.

paid the News cent for this
systematic work. They will say
that when the life of the fair hung in |
the balance and its continuation de- /
pended on renewing its credit by some
means, the News was advised with and |
its columns opened in behalf of public |
meetings to impress our people with the |
emergency. They were impressed and |
came forward with the stock and bonds. |
This is part of the history of all the |
fairs held here, and the News is at your
service for your fair for all time to come.
There was no bargain with the fair for so
much advertising if the News doomed |
the project. The fair people, when
they got ready, sent their ad. around
and made their contract, and when the
contract was up and the money due they
paid what they could and was not sued
for the balance, which was deferred. No
man in Dallas dare deny the above state
ment of the case. This whole business
would not be noticed in this paper, but
there is such a thing as being abused and
having the abuse rubbed in. Just lit
exception is made in this case, and no
of things 1t is not an exhibit
bitIon of resentment, even if the News
would take time out of its
business to go into the resenting
business. This paper is too much amused
the resentment racket rife in
great shape right now hereabouts. It is
no splutter of excitement no coup 'etat
for effect, no strategem to divert. 1t is
the intention to brand the abuse of the
News in this fair matter a lie and to show
that the best friend of the fair by record

parrots and parrots and times ahead.
Do you know now who the monkey
is? And there is one thing to be remem-
Dered in all the subsequent proceedings,
and that is, the News is here TO stay and
to attend to its business strictly on bust
ness principles as heretofore, and to tell
people that it knows It's own business and
ian size up that sweet parsonage who
knows how to tell it to run its business.
