Do YOU realize what this disfigura-

It is an easy matter to claim to cure
them, but quite another thing to

Because for years they have met

RICHMOND, october 7.-closins quota
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-04-27

attended in many instances by the
loss of all worldly possessions and
made more horrorfying by the addi-
tional loss of the owners life,
The brunt of these terribly deyasta-
ting winds fell upon the pretty and
prosperous little town of Norman, on
the line of the Santa Fe railroad, about
twenty miles distant from Oklahoma
City. AT that point thirty-one per-
sons were killed, and the town almost
completely destroyed. There pail
has overspread the town, business is
suspended and everybody able to rem
der any assistance to the poor untor-
tunates or towards removing the dead
bodies are out searching along the
track of the cyclone.
News of the destruction caused by
another cyclone Is being received
from the northwestern portion of the
Territory. Up to this time orders for
twenty-one collins have been received
in Oklahoma City alone, to be used in
burying the victims of the deadly
storm.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-04-27
Time for Action.
for the LIST.

We see from our exchanges that
preparations are actively being made
in the several cities of the state for
their fall fairs. In each city where q
far is held a meeting Of the directors
has already been held and the custom
airy steps taken to secure a desirable
list Of attractions. We are 10th to see
Texarkana tagging in this matter,
which is conceded to be Of great inn
portance to the progress of every
growing city. We do not intend
this as a spur to our local Association
which from long association and OBJ
servation we know to be composed
Of liberal, progressive and enterpris-
ing men, who need no other incentive
to duty than their devotion to the
welfare of their city and its present
and future prosperity. These men,
we know from experience, have done
all in their power to further the in
terest of the fair Association and
make it permanent, prosperous and
beneficial institution of our city, even
to the extent Of expending large sums
Of their own money in its upbuilding.
Now, at this critical stage Of the As
sociation's existence, when little
generous assistance from the citizens
at large Of Texarkana would make it
perpetual, as a self supporting, and in
every way beneficial, institution, we
do most earnestly hope that Toyar-
kana's people will not be found want
ing. But with that public spirited
liberality which has characterized
them at every important stage of
their city's progress, como promptly
forward and aid the Association in
putting into operation the preliminary
arrangements for great Fall fair
and exposition, which may easily be
made, by reason Of work already
done, to eclipse in extent and excel
lence all former efforts. At this of
all periods in the city's history to al
low the fair Association to die OF
inanitlon, would be not only blot
upon her reputation as n live, pro-
gressive community, but serious
blow to her present and future well
fare as well. This could not, at any
time, be afforded, least Of all now,
when the bud Of promise opens and
expands daily before our eyes. Let
a meeting Of citizens be called to
take steps in rendering the assistance
which all know to be necessary before
the Association can, with justice to
its members, make any decided move
in the premises.

Our Exhibit Will Compare Favorably
With other States--We Are In it.

Prof. j. II. Shinn has takn formal
charge Of the space allotted to Arkan-
sas for her educational exhibit, and
awarded a contract for the partitions,
tables, shelving and other necessaries.
The design of his arrangement will
add effect to the exhibits. After a
study of the work done by the whole
country he expressed himself salts
fed with the work of his State. He
says our exhibit will be as attractive
as any and as meritorious, save the
work of five States, He urges gen.
erous contribution of photographs at
once.
Manager Adair writes from Chica-
go, under date of April 23.
1--WE got our exhibits into the build
ing Saturday afternoon, and have been
very busy ever since getting them uu-
packed. Mr.. Pascoe is here and rend-
ering valuable assistance.

Important Matters Under Consid-
Grafton, at the Ogden Meeting.
The trans-Mississippi congress now
at Ogden, Utah, is dealing with some
very important matters, as the daily
proceedings thereof disclose, Nearly
500 delegates are in attendance, rep
resenting every Western and South
ern State.
The committees on permanent or.
ganization, order of business and res
olutions were appointed by the dele
cation.
A number of well known and dis
tinguished gentlemen who could not
attend, wrote messages.
A letter was read from Congress
man Bryan of Nebraska, in which he
expressed the opinion that the agri-
cultural or wheat growing states have
suffered more from the fall in the
value Of silver than have the mining
States.
A letter was read from Gov. Ponno-
yer of Oregon. Among other things
the Governor said: "The whole his
tory Of the world does not furnish a
crime equal in atrocity to the demon
citation of silver. Against this crime
the trans-Mississippi congress should
make a formal demand for the restor-
alton of silver"
Gov. Stone, of Missouri, in explain
ing his absence, expressed the opinion
that the policy of sectional conven-
