THE COUNTY OF YUMA
 Al THE TfXAS FAIR
Its Exhibit Attracted the Most Favor.
 able Attention.

| The couny of Yuma made a hit at
 the Texas state fair and in conse-
 quence a heavy immigration to the country along the Colorado is looked for. The exhibit of Yuma county was in charge of w. R. Lynch.
 He was so late in reaching the fair that he was unable in the limited time at his disposal and with no help in caring for the exhibit, to arrange the products so that they could have the proper protection, and he was obliged to stay by it from early morning until late in the evening to prevent his speci- mems from being carried away. This being the only exhibit of citrus fruits at the fair, it attracted wide spread in terest and flattering commendation. One man remarked with emphasis, Well. I'll be d. if this don't look like | enterprise to me to send an exhibit that far"
 The big lemons and the dates at 1 tracted great deal of attention. MT. Lynch had prudently posted himself about the culture of dates from the l government reports and had a copy with him to prove his statements. The samples of honey distributed proved a good advertiser, and will no doubt re = | HNAN III AiilOillS iildI hSlS IOi lIllS anu other products of Yuma county. MT. Lynch was asked to take orders for honey, and could have sold out his entire exhibit of fruits and honey at fancy prices, but he informed all would be purchasers that he had nothing for | sale. The attendance at the State fair at Dallas was very large. On no single day was the attendance less than fifty thousand, and on several days the turn stiles registered over seventy thousand.
 MT. Lynch is of the opinion that Yuma county should begin early next year to gather a large exhibit, and | should send at least two persons to ar range it attractively and properly care for it.
 He had more calls for literature than he could supply. He learned from ob- servation and experience that a good exhibit creates a demand for infoltla- tion, and is the most effective adver- Using. The indiscriminate distribution of literature is wasteful and ineffective He gave out literature only as it was called for after the exhibit had been seen and discussed.
 The following are some of the press notices and comments upon the Yuma county exhibit at the fair:
