DALLAS SEPT. l1.-All Texas is in
terested in the success Of our state fair,
which opens in Dallas on October II and
continues to and including October 30.
While this is what might be termed q
political year, yet we should halt long
enough In our mad rush after politics
| and politicians to work and speak II
good word for the fair in order to as
sist in making it success and credit
to the state. For number Of years
the fair association has been struggling
TO keep the enterprise on its feet, for it
has never been financial success. The
individuals back Of the enterprise have
continually been putting up cash in
order to make the fair Il success, and
so fur they have given to Texas fall en-
tertainments that have national rep
utation, and which exhibitors and Wis
itor5 from nearly every state and ter
rltory in the Union participate in
This year the management of the fair
are doing their best to not only keep
up the former high standard of the in
stitutiOn, but have added many new
attractions that will undoubtedly make
the lair Of 1892 the greatest ever held
in Texas. Tho usual exhibits of the
various counties will be made. only on
n much larger scale, us tho abundant
crop has made this possible. In the
work Of collecting fine display of
county exhibits, the County Exhibitors
association has taken an active part.
and as the result of its work, the ex-
hibit shown this fail at Dallas will be
sent 10
