state exhibit at the Worlds fair. II

county in the state should be represented
there. If Morris county is not ashamed
of what she has, let her send some one 10

The Columbian exposition convention
which meets in Fort Worth May u, should
have representations from every county in
the state and measures be taken to have an
exhibit that Will be a credit TO our Lone
Star State. - Bolton Reporter.
Texas must be well represented at the
Chicago Columbian exposition, and to that
end every city and town in the state that
makes any pretensionS should be well rep
resented BY a solid delegation of its citizens
at the Fort Worth meeting. What has the
Austin board of trade done in the matter.

1t was mostly individual enterprise and
pluck that drove the Mexican invader back
from the soil and gave to Texas her independ-
ence. That line of policy was crystallized
in the constitution of 1876 and will continue
to shape the destiny of the state until a
new constitution supersedes the present in
strument 1t is in order now for the
Boards of Trade of Dallas, San Antonio,
Galveston, Fort Worth and other cities to
formulate plan by which Texas can main
tain her true position at the Worlds fair
in Chicago as the big, warm-hearted sister
among the states of the great American re-
public Hamilton Herald.
This circular explains itself, and appeals
to the pride of every citizen and the interest
of every community and organization in
Texas 1t may be assumed that Erath
county, her towns and cities, and her or
ganiZed industrial boards, will act promptly
and send up full delegations. 1t is an i'm
portant movement, and no county can well
afford to ignore it Stephenyille Empire.
The legislature of the state of Texas has
refused to make an appropriation in aid of
the Columbian exposition, and unless i'm
mediate steps are taken our great state will
have no way of showing to the world its
greatness and vast undeveloped resources.
With a view to overcoming the difficulty,
the Chamber of Commerce of Fort Worth
asks that the various cities of the state, the
Chambers of Commerce and Boards of
Trade, commercial organizations, progress
i've associations and county immigration So
held at Fort Worth on May u, at ~ H.. to
discuss plans and, if possible, organize for
the purpose of having the state efficiently
represented at the Columbian exposition.
1t is, therefore, requested that each COM
mercial organization appoint two delegates
for every ten members; each immigration
and progressive association two delegates
for every twenty members; each city and
county two delegates for every 1000 inhabi-
tantS; one-half of each delegation to be
composed of ladies'. Here is matter that
commands the immediate attention of the
Board of Trade of this city, progressive as
sociation and the people in general. VIII
they act in the natter FL Paso Tribune.
AS the legislature refused to make an ap-
for the purpose of making
proper exhibit at the Worlds fair of the
vast resources of Texas, the Chamber OF
Commerce of Fort Worth asks that delegates
be sent from all the cities of the state,
Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade,
commercial organizations and county immi-
grafton societies to convention to be held
in Fort Worth, May u, to discuss plans and
for the purpose of properly repre-
senting the state. The opportunity to so
widely advertise the wonderful resources of
this state that the Worlds fair offers should
not be neglected. II is advisable to take
immediate steps so that ample time be al
lowed. Texas does not want an exhibit
that is incomplete. 1t will take time and
money to perfect an exhibit of this, the
largest state in the Union, and Texas does
not want to be behind her sister states in
or enterprise. The convention
in Fort Worth should be composed of dele
gates from every district. San Antonio
WILL doubtless, be represented.-ISan An
tonic Times.
