Friend Allie: Just received your
paper and will write at once. We
have been so busy 1 have had no time
hardly to write. Everything is way
up.
Good board, good attendance, easy
work, no marching and all free street
car service is the way the band is
| treated.
Il promised to write the news, but
have been so busy 1 have had no time
to spare hardly, but will tell you what
I know. Tell the boys at the post
howdy for us all.
"A wreck on the Texas Pacific near
the fair grounds, another on the Texas
Central and boy killed were the sem
sations of Thursday. 1t is hoped that
no more sensations like that will &C.
cur again.
The car service is, excellent, much
better than San Antonio, being double
track all the way. This facilitates
Joe Near, of the band, is threaten
ed with dengue.
The band is receiving high praise
from the Dallas people.
We have nothing but thanks to offer
to the fair management of their kind
and considerate treatment. Every
thing is done for our comfort that is
possible.
The band plays three concerts daily
morning concerts at IL O'clock, af-
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock and night con-
cert at 1880, in the Music hall, which
will seat from 5000 to 10000 people
Thursday and Friday the hall was
crowded to it's fullest capacity to hear
the band render it's choice concert.
Round after round of hearty and pro-
longed applause greeted each piece.
Musician Pentland has captured the
crowd with his fine solo cornet play
ing, while musician Hawkins and his
Xylophone simply throws the crowd in
to frenzy of delight.
The Dallas Fair is not as success
full as could be wished. Nothing that
skillful management or zeal for sue
cess could suggest has been omitted,
but the yellow fever scare undoubtedly
has had all to do with the attendance.
| The 21st and 22d have been the best
days so far and very fair attendance
was registered.
Governor Robert Taylor, of Tennes-
see, better known as Gov. Bob" Tay-
lor, and Governor Culberson and staff
were among the high dignitaries, on
Thursday.
Thursday was Tennessee day and
Gov. Taylor spoke to an immense
crowd in Music hall.
Friday was Dallas day and Dallas
showed her loyalty to the fair by
liberal and generous attendance. At
least 10000 people We're present.
The races were called off Thursday
on account of rain, which began early
| Thursday and kept up with slight in
termissions all day. Some fast time
has been made and some records have
been broken and some Phenomenal
| time is looked for.

increased attendance"

What Past Due accounts Do for the
Merchant

The following are only few OF the
facts why j. d. Fitzgerald asks his
friends to call and pay their ac-
counts:
They take up the most valuable
time of the bookkeeper or financial
member OF the firm.
They create an estralgement be-
tween merchant and customer first,
and separation later.
They take from the merchant and
his employees the profits Other Ia
Dor and industry.
They iniure the merchants when
they appear in their statement when
credit is required.
They are the barnacles under the
ship of commerce that retard it's pro-
gress and ultimate success.
They are germs ofmercantile decay
and failure.
They destroy credit, comfort and
friendship, and cause failure, fraud
and felony. 5Ot4
