SOME CROAKERs.

We have heard few merchants
say-a very few, that the fair as a
trade drawer was failure. They
do not seem to think that the fair
was gotten up for a two fold pur-
pose, one of pleasure and one to ad-
vertise the city as place of enter
prise and one that could put through
successfully an enterprise of such
gigantic proportions. Many stran-
gers were drawn here during the
week, some who had never been
here before, and they were all
pleased with the city, the fair, and
courteous manner in which they
we're treated and they will go home
and talk Texarkana, and it will be
the means of inducing people to
come here and invest, and the
croakers will at last get trade out
of the fair in an indirect manner.
We think the fair has repaid the
liberal citizens every cent back
which they contributed and the
good they did in helping the enter
prise will live long after many are
tucked away in mother earth. We
say in all candor, don't be kicker,
a croaker. Look on the bright side
and join the majority and let us
hope we will have another one in the
sweet subsequently.

Cotton Mill Committee Meet.

Late Friday afternoon the joint
committee, (both sides) selected by
the citizens mass meeting previous
ly, met at the State Bank, to con-
slider the matter of organizing a
cotton factory for Texarkana. Fol-
lowing members of the committee
we're present: NJ. D. Tilson, W. R.
Grim, L. Heilbron and ]. W. Stuart
for the West Side, and E. K. Smith,
P. ]. Ahern. NJ. Kosminsky and }.
W. Gardner for the East Side. Mr.
Grim was asked to act as chairman.
Situation was discussed in its sew
eral phases, and the proper mode
of going about organizing mil
here-all agreed that it was impor'
tant to act cautiously, 1t was the
concensus of all that matter be fully
investigated, personally, by some OF
the committee, in other states, be-
fore going ahead in getting sub
scriptions. Mr.. Gardner stated
that he would leave this morning
for Atlanta, Ca, and he was asked
to investigate cost of operating
mills there, and get other needed
information, which he consented to
do. Mr.. Stuart was asked to visit
the Arkadelphia mill, and consented,
for same purpose.
Every member of the committee
feels the Importance of cotton fac
Ttories, and have no doubt Of get
ting up a good big mill here-Sut
l,they also feel the Importance OF
acting with good judgment and de-
liberation, in order to make a sue
cess of the enterprise, once it is set
ON foot.

that we are to have a successful
