Correspondence in Hico Courier: FORT woRTH,
Tex, May The Texas Spring Palace threw
open its gates for 1880 to-day. Thousands of
strangers were in the city in spite of the an
nouncement that this would be Fort Worth day
Business was suspended at noon and the open
ing exercises took mp the afternoon. Ex-Gov-
ernor Alva Adams, OF Colorado, was the orator
of the occasion. He delivered an address of
great merit, dwelling on the growth and grand
eur Of Texas and the obstacles that have
been overcome. The Palace presents a picture
of surprising beauty both within and without.
It is designed to show by this work what Tex as
really is, and there are gathered within its walls
fair samples Of the fruits OF the earth, the wealth
of the mines. streams and forests of the state
no less than multitude Of first class specimens
of manhood and womanhood who will try to
make things pleasant to the stranger within the
gates. One Of the features OF this exhibition Of
Texas that will be informing to the outside
world is the splendid showing that Is made
of the mineral resources OF the state.
The impression prevails almost universally
abroad that Texas is good place for long-horn
cattle and Democratic candidates, that tough
beef and tougher majorities constitute our chief
claim to excellence, but the object lessons that
will be impaired by the Karporzma will teach
new view and win for Texas ulster appreciation
Of her re-eminerce as the future empire state
Of the Union and the storehouse OF the South
west. The attendance to-day was between 5000
and 1000. Over fifty counties are represented in
the Palsce exhibits. The Elgin band gives two
concerts daily during the Palace

WHAT THEY SAY.

Mr.. s. Moore, who owns farm eight miles
from this city, was seen at the Palace yesterday
by GAZETTE man, and in reply to questions he
said: 81 moved to this county eight years
ago from Louisville, Clay county, Ill. Ipaid

I have been well treated by the Texans. They
are the most hospitable people and easier to get
along with than any people, as . class, ever
saw. They do not care what ticket you vote,
they are trying to build up their country.
peUp. Of the North for whether
or Republican, that you neeo have no fear about
coming to Texas on account of your politics.
and you will not find in any state of the
Union as quiet and we'll disposed class Of peo-
pie as these much maligned Texans are.
Mr.. J. l.. Gray, county surveyor OF Carson
county, is in the city visiting the Palace, and
when asked how the Panhandle was prospecting
he said: The country up there. to use com.
and other small grains look as well as any I saw
coming down the road yesterday, and lcrops of
all kinds are doing nicely.
Are you having much immigration into your
county,
Yes, Carson county is receiving her share of
the immigration, think.
1t is the grandest advertisement for the state
Of Texas that could be devised, and it is a
great wonder to- me. that more coun-
a benefit it would be TO them at a slight
cost. Here are people from all over the United
States, who visit Texas for the first time and
have no idea of the extent of her undeveloped
resources.
The Palace is monument to the enterprise of
Fort Worth, and is the grandest advertisement
the state ever had
Mr.. s. L. Ralph OF Abilene, who is in charge
of the Taylor county exhibit, when questioned
by reporter last night as to whether the Palace
was of any benefit to his county as an advertise
nient, said:
Eyes, think It away ahead of the Dallas
fair. 1 attended the fair at Dallas last year and
the year before, and / consider the Palace of
this year. as well as that of last year,
has done as much good. Twenty Thousand
dollars were invested in Abilene last Saturday
by man whom met at the Palace and induced
to go out there. have met aud talked with
men from Maine and California who have conc

ace. have just sent party Of New York men

believe this Palace is the biggest thing, in
the way OF an advertisement, the state ever
had. feel that next year, II the Palace is
opened again, excursion trains will run from
the North here, as they did during the Cali
fornia excitement.

THE FATE OF THE FAIRY BAND


SPRING PALACE
dreamed that went to Fairy land,
And wandered amid its bowers,
But its glories seemed sadly faded, and dimi
And withered and dropping its flowers;
Alanguorous calm pervaded the air,
And no sound the silence broke,
Till caught my dress on trailing vine,
When slumbering Fay awoke;
So sudden his movement, started in fear,
Then rSllylng spoke, ''You' re lonely heref'
Eyes, I m almost alone, - he signing said,
you may search each dowery chalice.
No vastige Of fairy. or elf you will find;
They re gone to the TexaH Spring Palace
At Paddock's bidding they flew to his aid,
And now that their work is done,
They've fallen in love with the wonders they
made, -
And are staying to see the fun"
"Why didn't you go 9'' II did, he said,
And his cords came sharp and quick,
''But m coInetist of the fairy band,
And jealousy made me sick.''
"Come see a sad sightp' / followed him then
Till we stood by q murmuring stream, ~
With hillocks of palm leaves or every side,
And beneath them faint, silvery gleEm;
These are the hospital tents he said, :.
All my brothsrfnusicians are here,
Outdone by the Elgin band they fed,
Our conductor was borne on his bier;
When Seherzando he heard, but once he spoke,
'By Hecker eclipsed!'' then-his proud heart
broke. E. II. ELLIS.

Troy Enterprise: Every one of our Sunday
school that intends going to the Spring Palace
should by or on next Sunday leave their names
with the secretary or superintendent. This is
absolutely necessary in order that we secure
sufficient accommodations.
The date on which the Sunday school will 60
has not yet been decided upon, but the manage
ment Of the Palace win honor the Sunday school
with a special day and give US sufficient notlf-
cation of the date.
We hope the parents and children will take an
interest in the matter and all prepare to go who
can. We are assured of the lowest rates, prob
ably as low as 81 for the trip, and by carrying g
basket dinner all expenses will be dispensed
with. 1t Is something grand to see. One who
has not seen it can form no conception OF its
beauties. Parents prepare to go and take your
children. 1t will rival visit to wonderland
with them and not only benefit you but astonish
you with its marvellous beauty and grandeur,

Alvord Budget: The Spring Palace has thrown
open her doorsto the world again showing the
wonderful resources OF the great state of Texas.
This is the best possible advertisement for US
and one that will attract immigration from all
over the world, It is certainly o great enter
prise and one that every citizen should help. to
upbuild, es we will all be benefited by it. IT
Is with regret however that we must acknowl-
edge that our own county has 30 far failed to
assist in this work and to place an exhibit
there We have one of the best counties in
the state, next door to the Palace and if we
expect to get any benefit from it we will have
to hustle. In other words we will have to JON
the procession or sit on the fence
and see our more enterprising neighbors
go by.
