aud II is time for everybody who is
Interested In the movement or In the
welfare OF the town and county 10
Join In with those who have the
active management aud help make
IL a. great success as possible.
That the fair has been Of great bene-
fit 20 the town and county Is not
questioned by those who have taken
the trouble 10 consider the matter a
little The improvement already
noticeable IN live stock alone will
amply repay the labor and pains that
have been expended on the enter
prise. In addition 20 this IL has
greatly stimulated interest Ia the
diversifioation Of crops; and having
secured the hearty and active coop.
GRAFTON Of the Brazos county farmers
institute, II will be able 10 accom-
plish much more along this line In
the future. IL Is also a fine adver-
tisement for Bryan aud this section
of the state. aud is means OF getting
the resources Of our country promi-
nently before the people Of the state
through the press and through visit
ors who come here and go abroad
and tell what they have seen and
what we are doing along legitimate
lines to develop the country and at
tract desirable immigration.
II matters not whether you are a
stakeholder or not, II you live In the
town or country and get your living
among these people In any way what
soever, it Is 20 your interest TO build
up the fair and TO speak a good word
for il whenever you have an oppor-
tuuity. The merchant and clerk In
the store, the professional man Ia
his office. the man on the street OF
train. or almost anywhere can find
opportunity TO help the fair along by
keeping {. in mind and saying word
about IL.
Another way to help the fair along
is by making exhibits and inducing
Others 10 do so. The friendly rivalry
thus engendered is what stimulates
improvement in stock and In the
products OF the farm. orchard and
garden.
The eyes Of the people Of this sec
ton are fixed upon Bryan at this
time and they are waiting TO see
whether we will go forward and con-
tinue 20 lead or lag behind and dis
qualify ourselves FOR leadership.
Any lack Of interest or activity In
this fair movement will be counted
against Us as an index Of waning en-
terprise and loss Of vantage ground
The fair Is well equipped In the
matter OF grounds and buildings and
such heavy expenditures a. were re-
quired last year are not now neces
sary. The directors are at work
through the various committees Ia
making preparations, aud they ask
the hearty support Of the people OF
the town and county in the work
The catalogue 20 be issued IN a few
days, contains an attractive premium
list aud will be- given a more careful
aud systematic distribution than
ever before. IL will be put into th'
hands Of people who are alive q
their own interests aud 10 the inter
est OF their communities and recog
nize in the fair opportunities for ad
vancement.
The fair is not designed as a money
making enterprise. It's purpose is
not 20 declare direct dividends
but rather 10 help insure TO every
man the greater dividends Of i'm
proved conditions and more general
prosperity.
