Notes and Personals.

The ladies of the floral department have done
noble work in assisting to make the Palace
beautiful and attractive with their display oil

name kept out of print) for bouquet of beauti-
full flowers sent in by the children of Abilene.
Mr. Kirkwood of the Kirkwood Manufacturing
company of Arkansas City, KAN, is in the city
looking at the Palace. He thinks that Texas is
going to have wonderful development in the
near future and is around making friends with
Fort Worth business men.
President Paddock has his gate-keepsrs in ex-
cellent training, it would seem, from the honest
when it was ascertained that the aeronaut had
dropped inside the Palace grounds, from his
trip among the clouds, thus getting in without
depositing his ticket in the box.
Col. W. J. Mcdonald of Quanah is in the city
in charge OF the Hardeman county exhibit at the
Spring Palace. The colonel is a deputy United
States marshal for this district. He is the gem
tleman who was sent for to assist in holding
down the lawless element inoklshoma during the

shals failed. Col. Mcdonald speaks good
best small grain country on earth, Wichita coun-
ty and the blue ribbon to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Mr.. j. F. Cain of Clarendon, who is on his
way home from the Hot Springs, Ark, is in the

THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS.

Carthage Banner: On Saturday evening we
visited the Spring Palace and found it one of the
finest pieces of art that we ever saw. 1t don't
seem reasonable, but We venture the assertion
that there is enough of shucked ear corn split
open and nailed on the outside Of the building
IN all kinds of ornamental shapeskto runuany ff7
teen farmers in Pamela county one yeafs Gro.
Geddy says there is more on the building than
there is in Pamela county, Besides the corn,
amounts used TO decorate the building on the
outside. The fountain on the inside under the
dome, was magnificent. There was metal
foundation on which was dome shaped mass of
rock very beautiful; around the circumference of
the base pipe is laid from about every four
inches of which fine spray OF water shoots up
the rock into basin. The selection of produce.
and every other advantage of the different
counties, the selection Of dinerent species Q!
the smallest, gathered from all parts of the
state were immense, while the art work fur
nished by the ladies OF Fort Worth besgars de-
scription.
All in ell the Spring Palace and Southern
Baptist convention is tine biggest" advertise
ment Fort Worth and the state has ever had.
There were large numbers of people there from
every state in the South and great many from
Northern states. Everybody was delighted with
Fort Worth and the ''Great State of Texas, " as
they called it, They seemed to look on Texas
with reverence-as 4 sort of paradise, and truly
they may.
around the grand loupe (round trip eight miles,
whsch carried us out OF the city limits, out
thsfhtgh rolling prairie, where We could get .
splendid view Of the city and surrounding
country, and in every direction as far as the eye
could reach, the country was high and rolling,
givfnx, the city all the room necessary to spread
out, aid from the way she is building she will
soon cover all the country adjoining her. For
enterprise, city pride and state pride, Fort
Worth is next in the South to Birmingham,
Alabama.
While there we met the following friends and
former Panolaites:
Rev. W. I. Feizen and wife. Hon. A. NJ. Car
ter, Mr.. Charlie Baker, Rev. John Holland,
Rev. ]. Il. Buckner and Willie C. Biggs.
We left the city at p. m on special and run
down to Dallas where We spent four hours
looking over the city. From what we could see
Dallas outstrips Fort Worth in two ways, viz:
Size and capital but for vim and enterprise tde
Fort is in the lead too far to talk about. Dallas
has population of $1,000, and the quagmires
round about furnish a Thousand mosquitoes TO
every inhabitant in the city, while Fort WORTH
has IS coo inhabitants and no mosquitoes. ,slNN'
We rejoined part OF our crowd on the $40
east bound Texas and Pacific and reached Long
view at las, and reached home safe and sound
on Monday, the 18th inst, well pleased with
what we had seen.
Those who have never seen any OF our state
should, by all means, visit Fort Worth during
the Spring Palace.

SPRING PALACE BALL.
The Brilliant Affair That win Close the
Month of Festivities.

The Brilliant Affair That win Close the
Month of Festivities.
The ball which is arraigned for the evening OF
May Both at the Spring Palace promises to be
one of the most brilliant affairs of social
nature which has ever taken place in the city.
There will be everything on hand to make sue
cess. No more charming or romantic ballroom
than the Spring Palace can be imagined. The
famous Elgin band are engaged to furnish the
music. and no one who has ever heard the soul
inspiring strains which that aggregation OF mu-
steal talent is capable OF producing VIII
doubt the elegance of that part of the
programme. Only one thing more is nee
essay TO make the ball a success and that
will be on hand in abundance-that is peo-
pie. Not only Fort Worth's fairest women will
be there to grace the waltz and beautiIy the
York, but ladies will be in attendance from all
over this state, which can honestly boast OF ex-
cellence in that line as well as in
dozen others. Dancing will commence after
the regular evening concert has been
rendered SO that none of the pleas
ure of the people in attendance on the Spring
Palace exclusively need be curtailed. Every
arrangement will be perfected SO that the ball
will be the unqualified success 1t aims to be.
The management of it is in the hands of the
Cotillion club and the following are appointed
as an executive committee: j. A. Thomas, W.
B. Ford, W. II. hampton, K. NJ. VanZandt, Jr.,
and W. B. Elliott. The ball will be fitting close
to the month of pleasure that the exhibition has
afforded, and there is no doubt that the ball
room scenes on that night will be its brightest
when the floor of the Palace will be graced by
the states finest exhibit-her strong sons and
lovely daughters.

THEY Talk.
What Some of the Visitors Say of the
Marvel.

What Some of the Visitors Say of the
Marvel.
There was quite sprinkling of Dallas people
among the visitors at the Spring Palace
yesterday. In fact, it required eight
coaches to haul them all over, but
so great was the general mass that eight coach
loads cut but small figure in the crowd. One of
the Dallas delegation was singled out for
talk. That was Mr.. Frank Doremus, managing
editor of the Dallas News. He was asked
what ne thought OF the Spring Palace. why,
this is the grestest thing Texas has ever known.
This Spring Palace will do more for the state
than anything that has been perpetrated. This
thing is bigger than Fort Worth; it is as
big this immense state, came here this
afternoon and saw corn and grain oc the inside
and corn and grain on the outside, and the
whole magnificent scene one voluptious adTer-
tsement OF the agricultural and industrial adj
vancement and possibilities of all Texas. 1t is
the greatest refutation of the hip pocket and
shot gun idea with regard to Texas that could
be set on foot
Mr.. John Hoeny. Jr., of Abilene is taking in
the Palace and talking Taylor county and the
Abilene country. He has been wearing co nta-
gious smile since yesterday.
Mr.. s. n. Wood, prominent attorney Of
Topeka, Kan. who has been attending court at
Paris came over to see the Palace yesterday.
He says that he was in Fort Worth twenty years
ago, when there was only a few houses here and
no railroads, and thought then that it would
some day be prominent among Texas cities. He
thinks the progress of Fort Worth will be
undiminished in the future, and that the Spring
Palace is great institution. BE remarked upon
the fact that Wichita and Abilene countries,
both comparatively new and unknown 70 the
farmer 2 few years since, now lead the state in
their products. and predicts an immense tide of
immigration and capital to those sections of
Texas within the next five years.

Alyarado Bullet

Alvarado Bulletin: Have you been to the
Spring Palace YETI If you haven't, you shSEAd
go by all means. A Bulletin epresentatife 49ad
the pleasure of being there last Saturday, and
was glad to see that it was really, in many re-
spects, if possible, an improvement on last year.
The building is larger and the decorations in
much better taste. The Panhandle and western
counties are well represented by their large AND
varied exhibits. Several East Texas counties
are also well represented. notably Cherokee
county. The Bulletin man remembered the pas
SADLY fair exhibit made by johnson county last
spring, and grieved the shortsightedness of the
people in not having even SO good one this year.
He searched in vain for anything to re-
mind him of such county as johnson except
miniature steamship sent from Alvarado by
Tom Blair and few kershaw seed used to cover
the space occupied by johnson county a
map of Texas, which occupies prominent place
on the wall. The people of johnson county. it
would appear, are making the fatal mistake of
depending altogether upon the natural ad-
vantages of the county, and so are being left by
their poorer but more energetic neighbors.
But go TO the Palace, and when you do don't
fail to see the temple of Jupiter, which is the
work OF an artist and by ODDS the preltiest room
in the building. The celebrated Elgin band is
there again discoursing, if possible, sweeter
music thsn before.
The Phlace is Texas in miniature, and the
plucky city of Fort Worth is to be congratulated
on the splendid success they are making of it.

BvArs THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

Bosque Citizen: The people of Bosque doubt
less would like to know what is going on at the
Spring Palace. 1 will say some fifty to 100
ladies and 100 men have been working rapidly to
finish up, and for two days working day and
night was at the Worlds fair in New Orleans,
and as q show and for interest and display, it
far excels anything saw there. OF course it is
not as large, but will say to all who come, you
can't see all in less than two days and nights,
and can only then take general look. None
can see but will feel 'GreaJ is Texas" or, rs
the queen of Sheba said, ''The half can't be
told.''
The best time to see will be about the 18th to
the 25th, and 1 would advise every one who can
to come and see what Texas can do.
Bosque county won't be disgraced, even il
Had the county given the means would have
swept the deck and carried of the solid gold
medal. But it can't be helped. hope at least
