The hrst day oil the Congress
was pretty much like other first
days Of such meetings. The crowds
were Just gathering, and the affair
taking form for the real work Of
the succeeding days. The attend
ance was about as il was the first
day Of last years session.
The Cotton Growers, the Nur.
serymen, the Cattle Growers and
other associations held sessions in
the forenoon. At the Cotton Grow.
ers meeting speeches were made by
Judge NJ. NJ. Brooks, one Of the
candidates for governor of Texas,
and Ex.Lieut. Governor Jester,
another probable gubernatorial as.

Of the Texas Ginners Association,
and Others.

South Carolina Division Of the
Southern Cotton Association, IL

Do not tell il any more that the
present is an unfavorable year for
getting up an agricultural exhibit
In Brazos county. The display
made by the boys from Steep Hol-
low, Harvey, Millican, Jones
Bridge, Minier Springs, Kurten,
Cottonwood and Providence neigh
borhoods is something wonderful.
There is no year that Brazos coun.
" need be afraid 70 60 up against
any Of them.
Williamson county has very
fine exhibit, and we learn that
others are coming.
In the Agricultural building, and
also in the hall of the Main build
ing are some catalogues and pic
tures intended TO advertise the
Bryan schools. Miss Jessie Irene
Johnson has a table in the passage
way of the Main building, where
she interests all comers in the
Allen Academy and the Texas
Woman's College. The Villa Maria
sisterhood has large pictures neatly
displayed in a frame hung in the
passageway Of the Agricultural
building. and the Eagle has some
pictures of scenes at the Bryan
schools on display. The result Of
these efforts is that Farmers Con-
gress visitors are being strongly
impressed with Bryan as a school
town. This reporter heard a prom
inent Dallas man say that if Bryan
would string a belt line Of railway
around by her various schools and
the A. & NJ. College, the enterprise
would be a paying investment, and
Bryan would soon be recognized
as the educational center Of Texas.
Miss Johnson told an admirine
Listener yesterday that il will soon
be so that to sustain the reputa'
ton of a really well educated per
son, you must be either from Bos
ton or from Bryan.
Three candidates for governor
are on hand already at the Con
gress, and others are expected TO-
day. In fact, there are all kind
of people at the College now, anc
from almost everywhere.
The crowds overran the accom-
modations at College yesterday
and Bryan began filling up rap
idly yesterday evening. Accom-
modations for three hundred haC
fortunately been secured through
the tireless efforts Of the local com

Attached to the south-bounC

day afternoon was the Dublin Tel

decorated and loaded with Eratl
county delegates.
The general session held las
night was notable for the welcom
