The good people of Abilene, well
known for their vim and go-aheadive-
ness, mean "doing 1t brown as the
expression goes, this year, so far as ad-
vertising their particular locality is con-
cerned. They have taken considerable
space for display of maps and advertis-
ing matter of their territory, and it will
not be their fault If any visitor to the
state fair gets away therefrom without
knowing something more of that sulub-
rious and fertile district.
Mr. q. H. Turner, assistant general
freight agent Of the Texas and Pacific,
has in the course OF his travels rendered
considerable assistance to the executive
by talking up the fair on all occasions
with the influential men of the day, and

Thompson, general passenger ana ticket
ggen. of the Santa Fe, writes the execu-
tive that all along his own particular line
ana those tributary thereto visiting crowds
double in density TO those of preceding
years may be expected.
There has been q change made for the
better in the matter of entrance and
exit. Two of the hitherto existing en-
trance points of other years have been
closed SO far as this particular purpose is
concerned, and all, pedestrians and
others, will now enter the grounds from
the end of Exposition avenue, of course
with the option of taking any one of
dozen different turnstiles. A half dollar,
and no other coin whatever, will admit
an adult, and the exact quarter must be
forthcoming from the children. Numer-
Gus money changers are located close by
so no Inconvenience is expected on this
8 ore, but on the contrary, the rule has
been framed, as is the case with all the
rules of the association, for the best COM
fort and convenience of the public gsn-
orally, and on this account alone will
without doubt be properly appreciated
and abided By.
Intending visitors must make note OF
two exhibits which are on hand from the
St. Louis exposition, where they at
tracted much attention and commenda-
ton from the mastery manner IN which
they carried out the working of their
particular trades. The exhibits alluded
TO are those of the glass blowers and pot
terry mixers, always popular and ever
new wherever they go, the artistic and
doll inn n nj n Of <.l,o
is certainly deserving particular atten-
ton.
Among recent additions Of importance
have been fine display of artistic pho
Biography from Mckinney, great show
of oriental goods from ST. Louis, a hair
bride made in the Utah state prison and
costing $3.50, patent hay press from
Tulip, Tex, oats from Santa Anna.
Coleman county, horse nail exhibit of
two or three tons from Chicago, bale of |
very fine staple cotton from Copeville,
Tex. and cattle IN large numbers from |
all parts.
The last few days has also been prolific |
in bringing to hand many OF the more
extensive side attractions with regard to |
the attendance of which there had been |
some little doubt, every part of the ex-
tensive grounds is literally crowded with |
the different shows of merit which the |
executive have selected from those |
throughout the country as being most |
likely to prove attractive to the Texan |
and his family.
Children and their wants have not |
been by any means neglected; merry-go-
rounds; fruit, candy and peanut stands,
and ell The various adjuncts that go to
make up happy day for children being
TO the fore all along the line.
The monster concert of the Choral |
union is TO be rendered on the night of
Thursday, the 23d inst. AT q recent
practice more then 200 local singers took
part, so il is confidently expected that
the total number who will follow the
conductors baton at the concert will
fully come up to previously expressed
expectations, and the already extensive |
stage has been enlarged in consequence.
Let none who can ID any way avoid it,
abstain from visiting the Texas state fair
and Dallas exposition of 1880, for IL
should be well borne in mind that there
is nothing local or insular bout the great
exposition, everything pertaining thereto
being in the best interests of the Lone
Star state at large. Let, then, all who
have at heart the progress OF our great
territory, aud desire to see what has
been. and is being accomplished, come
with their friends aud kindred, meet the
i'm portant men of the country, aud ac-
cept the assurances of the association
that they shall not depart without having
