help il can be made an institution
not only of Bryan and Brazos
county but Of all Central Texas as
is intended. There is no other
city within a radius Of 100 miles
except Taylor where like institu.

easily be made the nucleus for an
exhibit Of all the industries of this
fruitful section of our state.
We are not at present informed
ofthe financial condition Of the
fair, but we are satisfied that the
management will not be able to
meet all the outstanding obhga-
tions without assistance. We do
not believe our public spirited and
patriotic citizens, will permit them
to stand alone in this matter, but
will come to their assistance and
aid them in shouldering the re-
sponsibility of perpetuating the

Assistant Passenger Agent Doheriy

sistant General Passenger Agent
William Doherty of the Houston,
East & West Texas returned from
Bryan, Texas, where he attended
the closing Of the Central Texas
Fair, which has been held at Bryan

last night.
Mr.. Doherty is profuse in his
praises Of the fair and the enter
prise Of the people in getting up
such an excellent entertainment.
"There was a large crowd OF
people there" said Mr.. Doherty,
shut not near the crowd the ex'
cellence Of the fair deserved. The
people of Bryan deserve great
credit in giving such an excellent
display Of agricultural and horti'
cultural products as they did at
the Bryan fair.
These exhibits are among the
finest have ever seen in Texas
not even barring San Antonio and
Dallas. The live stock exhibit was
second to none, and every feature
of the occasion was strictly first
class. There was corn displayed
fourteen inches in length, sugar
cane over six feet high and thu
other exhibits were proportionatell

A WORD ABOUT THE FAIR.

The Eagle has said that the
farmers Of Brazos county who con-
,ributed to the success Of the fair
deserves the praise and thanks OF
all tie people Of the town and
county for bringing the wonderful
resources Of the county promi-
nently before the public, and while
We emphasize this feature for lite
full worth, we would by no means
ignore the efforts of others, which
added 30 much to the occasion and
which made the third annual Gen.
trial Texas Fair a decided success;
and II is not saying too much
when we declare that while the at
tendance, owing to circumstances,
was not as large as heretofore, yet
in every essential feature the fair
Just ended was equal to the best,
and il demonstrated TO the satistac'
ton of all that the institution was
the pride Of both city and county.
For this achievement too much
praise can not be bestowed on the
management, which has worked
under adverse circumstances in
season and out Of season; have adj
vocated the enterprise and have
labored for its advancement. To
the animated this may seem an
idle commentary. but to those who
know the character of work it re-
quires to make a success OF The
various industries going to make
an entertaining and instructive ex-
hibit, it means a great deal.
Now, a word in conclusion. Do
our citizens desire to Perpetuate
the fair? Ifso, your duty is plain
