TAYLOR FAIR ASSOCIATION.
ARRANGEMENTS Made for Eighteenth
Annual Eaposiffou

Taylor, Texas, April 16.-After several
weeks OF effort on the part OF those who
are DESTROYS for the best interests of Tay-
Tor to perpetuate the organization OF the
Taylor Fair association, the prelimlnarleg
have been completed for holding the eigh.
ieenth annual meeting this spring, and the
date has been agreed upon as Wednesday
Thursday and Friday, juno to o, inclu-
sive, and q meeting of the directors will
be held this week to elect a president
secretary and other officers. and to prepare
catalogue, premium list, race programme
etc. The association has been reorganlzed
and whereas ten men constituted the mem
bership thirty-two stockholders are nov
embraced in the organization, and they
constitute among them mostly our leading
capitalists and business men.
This gives the association stronger
financial backing than 1t ever before en-
! joyed, and insures a continuation of oar
annual meetings indefinitely. This is a
source of great satisfaction TO those who
! recognize the fair as an influence OF q
great deal OF benefit TO Taylor in many
ways.
This section has for several years been
| recognized as a fine stock locality, and
much profit TO our sroekmen has resulted
from this reputation The high grade OF
perfection TO which our breeders have
advanced their herds In cattle, horses
sheep and hogs has been due to a very
large extent to the influence eGerted by
the annual competitions engaged In ~
these annual exhibitions, and this applies
especially to horses and cattle. The fast
est young trolling horse on the turf to-
day that Texas has ever produced is d
Taylor hS--s. and some OF the cattle from
tho pastures near Taylor have had the
honor OF taking the blue ribbon in the
State competition at Dallas At the Cattle
mems convention at Fort Worth this spring
| II was a car Of fat hogs from a ranch six
miles from Taylor that took first premium
in competition representing the products
from various sections OF the State.
The Improvement OF stock, while rec
ognzed as a great enterprise and suificien;
to recommend the fair, is not the only
benefits this institution has guaranteed to
Taylor. At every annual meeting large
crowds OF people assemble here, and for
three or four days all lines OF business en-
JOY that briskness that is brought about
by the congregation of people In any town.
1t also furnishes an annual reunion OF the
people from the country with those o.
the town, in a friendly and social way.
which is beneficial at all times, aud brings
the different sections In closer touch and
establishes a desirable sympathy between
the people that is healthy and commenda-
Bile.
The reorganization gives renewed HE
10 the enterprise and encourages the pro-
motors not only to new confidence bat 10
determination TO take advantage OF the
improved conditions and exert double
effort TO have this springs meeting and all
succeeding fairs enlarged and improved
over all former efforts.

Insurance Mon Profess Alarm at the
Prospect of the Passage of an
Antt-Trust Law.

Galveston. Texas. April 1T.--In the clos
Ing hours OF the life OF the First Texas
regiment. 1t is but fair to repeat what
has already been said and refer again to
the good conduct OF the men both before
and after their muster out.
When the first four companies were
mustered out Saturday afternoon, predic-
lions were freely made that the boys would
make tho old town pretty lively tina,
night. the argument being that the re.
straint of military authority having been
removed they would feel like turnin,
themselves loose. But the soldiers die
nothing OF the kind, behaved themselves
as good citizens should and took the hrst
train out that would bear them home
Only one soldier fell Into the hands OF the
police He had acquired pretty good
package but was not at all noisy or
turbulent. When taken to the station and
searched s14760 was found on him. This
roll the police officers carefully held in
trust for him until this morning Re-
corder keetch let the erring soldier &C
without fine and he was happy,
This afternoon companies q. |, X ani
L. better known as the Emmett Rifles OF
Houston, the Tom Campbell Rifles OF MI
lano, the Marble Falls Guards and the
Governors Guards of Austin were paid
of and mustered out OF the service
something like $780, 900 was used In making
the payment. Tomorrow the remaining
four companies known on the army records
as companies A, Il, d and II will be paid
OF and mustered out, and then the regl-
ment Will be finally dissolved,
Paymasters Holloway and Vandergrift
received fresh from the United States
treasury at Washington this morning $780,
goo, all but Sli00 of which was IN crisp new
bills, The money came by the Pacific Elk
press company ard arrived at CHS o'clock
this morning. II fell into the hands OF
Cashier Joe Wiggin, who Mt o'clock by
previous agreement with the paymastcrs.
stepped across the street and deposited
the money with the Galveston National
bank. Tho latter institution advanced the
money needed Saturday TO pay of the four
companies that were mustered out, putting
up $4,000 for that purpose.
The ticket agents and the travelling pas
eenger agents of the different railroads
have been reasonably busy making the
acquaintance OF the soldiers and finding
out Just what road the boys want TO take
for homo, but there has been no unsee,nly
scramble The city ticket agents have re
spected their agreement not TO go out 20
