MONEY DOES THE TALKING

Coleman Voice: On May 10 the Texas
Spring Palace ct Fort Worth, the grand
est karporama the world ever saw. will
open to advertise Texas and her re-
sources,
Last years Palace was pronounced by
men, not only from every state in this
Union, but from every country in Eu-
rope. to be the most extraordinary dis
play of the sort ever beheld. But last
year was only the beginning; it was sim
ply an experiment. The management
learned great deal, and this year will
be able to avoid every mistake. In an
tioipation of much larger display, the
Palace is greatly enlagred, and space for
special county displays will he allotted
to many counties that could not secure
it last year. The counties wishing to Sc
cure space are invited to engage the same
at once, and since all the counties wish
ing to exhibit cannot receive a special
space, the rule is adopted first come
first served.''
1t is acknowledged everywhere that
Coleman's little display last year was
worth more 10 tue county tnan all the
writes-up. Yet Coleman had no special
space or exhibit in the Palace She had
nothing to attract attention there except
ing her flag floating over one of the tow
ers. Men would read Coleman on
that flag and inquire where Coleman was
aud where her exhibit. Some of our
own citizens visiting there and viewing
the magnificent decorations and special
displays OF other counties we're
ashamed of their own. But CoIem an had
no special display, her exhibits were
amongst the general collection; thev
werc not one fourth Of what they could
have been had the very few who worked
to secure an exhibit been backed up by
any considerable number of the people /,
nevertheless these few samples did not
escape the scrutiny of the home-seeker.
and when the committees of award
gentlemen from other states, came along
this comparatively handful of Coleman
county's agricultural display won for
her the second award for AGRICULTURAL
excellence OF all the counties of the state
Of Texas.
Yes, Coleman, but recently the border
county on the Indian frontier, occupied
by few stookmen only, was award ed

TIE COUNTY EXHIBITS.

Fort Worth liberality has provided q
means by which counties in Texas may
| advertise themselves to the very best
possible advantage, and now 1t devolVes
upon each county to say whether 1t will
avail itself of the opportunity. THE GA
zETTE now, as last year, urges upon all
the counties to exhibit their products and
advertise their advantages to the world.
Seeing is believing, and the people of
other states will be here to see what
Texas is, as shown by the products OF
Texas fields, mines and forests. The
railroads in and out of the state have
made rate to the Texas Spring Palace
that will induce people TO come to this
grand and rare exhibit of Texas and THE
GAZETTE, speaking for Fort Worth, would
have every county participate in the BEN
efits. In addition to the attractions OF
the Palace and the rates announced Dy
the railroads, the Southern Baptist con-
vention meets IN this city on the day of
the opening of the Karporama and thous-
ands of that denomination from all over
the South will be here to see what Texas
really is. In this connection, THE GA
TO the counties of Texas than those pre-
sented by the Ballinger Banner TO the
people of Runnels county:
AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
The Fort Worth Spring Palace which opens
in May next, is intended to be strictly and
truly state affair. The man of means and
the prospector will be in attendance. The Pan
handle-the Wichita Falls country and the
section Immediately tributary to Fort Worth
have arranged with the railroad companies to
transmit passengers from the Spring Palace to
the different towns and localities along the
zine at a one-fare rate. The reason for this is
obvious. That part OF Texas, aided and ASST stei
by Fort Worth, aims to be materi
ally benefited By the Karporama. The
thousands of prospectors who will visit
the Palace during the summer, viii be favor
ably impressed with the arrangement which the
Panhandle country has made with the railroads;
and importuned and pressed by those who will
be On hand to boom that particular part of Texas,
the rush of prospectors and investors will be to-
wards that section. The Banner desires to i'm
press upon our citizens the importance of this
matter. Runnels, in conjunction with her sister
counties, should by all means have a creditable
exhibit at the Palace. Our citizens should see
to it trat the railroads accord to US the
same privileges and advantages which given
to the country Immediately tributary to Fort
Worth. When once the inspector is brought in
to our midst, we have nothing to fear. The
stranger will be struck with the intelligence, the
enterprise and the prosperity of our people; he
will be most favorably impressed with the
salubritY of our climate, and the richness and
beauty of our country. He will look around and
See on every hand. evidences OF thrift, honesty
and industry-and with such fattering induce
ments. he will most assuredly invest. Let US
take time by the forelock-get ourselves together
upon this important question, and obtain for
our favored section the consideration to which
it is justly entitled.

favor of the holders of 500 lots in Ar
kansas City, valued at $500, 900. An in

gave the property to the then acting
mayor and his successors, to be disposed
of bv these officials in the interest of the
town. This was done, and now that the
lots have become valuable, the original
company claims the land, hence the suit.
It was proven that q wise disposition had
been made, and the judge decided that
the grantee could not be dispossessed.
