about him

IN HIS recent lecture before the Colby
students at waterville, Me-, Mr.. Walter
G. Emerson Of the Portland Advertiser,
said: 1.-THE modern newspaper wants a
plain, unvarnished statement of facts.
The best rhetorical effort on daily is one
that arises to tell all the circumstances
of an event IN the fewest possible words.
1t is in this respect that the college grad
uate finds himself at great disadvantage
when he enters upon newspaper work.
He has to unlearn all the fine elaboration
of his composition. He has learned to
compose from information, not at his
immediate call, from facts in the CYCLIC
pedia, instead of facts in the head, from
what he has read, not from what he has
seen and HEARD

THE SPRING PALACE .

Weatherford Constitution: The Con-
stitution would gladly have given its
columns and its best efforts for Parker
county exhibit at the Spring Palace, but
it was early Informed by the leaders and
prominent factors in such affairs that no
effort would be made to that end and
silence was deemed the best policy. But
Parker's not being there will not be
circumstance to distract from the beauty
of the Palace, the magnifcence of the
display or the success of the enter
prise; and therefore Parker's peo-
pie may be assured that the exhibit will
be marvellous sight to behold and alto
gether worthy of their attention. Per-
lection was not attained by the manage
ment last year, but even that was an
occasion of pride and glory to Texas.
The artistic ornamentatlon of the en-
larged building and the exhibit will far
surpass the initial effort, and it may
fairly be assumed that it will be the
most gorgeous and most fruitful presen-
tation of agricultural products ever wit
messed in the Southwest. It is not
doubted that the Texas and Pacific will
put on coaches enough to accommodate
all the people

THE SPRING PALACE .

Beeville Bee: The Spring Palace will
open at Fort Worth on the 10th of May.
There will be exhibited the growing veg
etable products of Texas. In no section
of the United States is the crops further
advanced than in Southwest Texas-the
California OF the East. Yet not a county
in the southwest has arranged for an ex-
hlbIt at this grand exhibition of growing
crops IN Fort Worth in few weeks. The
advantage in favor of the southwest is
too great for Bee county to allow it to
pass, and we trust the citizens of Bee
vile will take note of it.

He wears a short, light overcoat

To puff in ladies' eyes the smoke

THEY ARE COMING.

Texas is advancing grandly. Every
county, city, town, village and hamlet
within her borders IS moving forward
under an impulse of enterprise and pro-
gress such as has never before been
known in the history of the state. For
her the day of great undertakings and of
grand achievements has arrived. Men
of brains, of energy and of unlimited
capital, foreseeing what the future has in
store for her, and daily making invest
ments that are certain to bring them
profits rarely realized from legitimate
undertakings. 1t is their money that
will aid in the upbuilding of Texas, and
not that of the Spectator who buys great
tracts Of real property only to keep them
idle and unproductive, until those
around him have made them valuable
by their labor and their improvements.
Texas, therefore, welcomes the investor,
the man who comes to add his energy to
his money to improve her prairies, to
build houses, to call into being business
and manufacturing enterprises, and to
become himself valuable factor in the
realization of the glory and the grandeur
that the future has in store for her.
