A VISIT 10 The FAIR
heetial OF the Vomsa'S Press Ass0CIa-
iieA Vas Z Special Feature.

1t was the writer's good pleasure
TO be at the opening of the Dallas
Fair some two or three weeks ago.
The management of the fair very
kindly gave the press women of the
state, as well as the press in general
composed of the sterner sex, all the
courtesies usually extended TO news
paper people, such as free entrance
to the fair and free access to all the
attractions appertaining thereunto,
for the first three days Of the great
State Fair.
The fair is too we'll and genrally
known by the great mass of Texans
to need an additional description
here. From year to year its fame
grows, and Texans are becoming
justly proud of it. As an example Of
how wide the fame of the Lone Star
States fair is getting to be, the
fair grounds, which held an attrac-
ton in the way of some fire For
mosa lemons n other fine fruits,
and vegetables grown by the aid of
a fertilizer which his company rep
~resents, told us he had had regiStra-
tons. during the fair from nearly
every state in the union, and from
one Russian, a German, a French
man, and other foreigners. This give
one an idea of something of tn
great mass, or cosmopolitan natur
of the visitors.
The Texas Woman's Press assoc
alton has in it some very splendi
women, among these being our y
full and dignified president, Mis-
Katie Daffan, SO well known owe
the state and Miss Fannie Arm

make note OF an interesting 1act told
me by Mrs. Watson, a most beloved

P. A. Some years ago, during the
sovereign days of Marvin College, in
our city, Miss Armstrong, this same
noted T. c. u. worker in the canvass
over the state for a book entitled.
Children of the Bible received a
greater number of subscriptions IN
Waxahachie and Ennis than over
ne rest of the entire state, "hlch

read at the afternoon session of the
y. W. p. A., among them being a
,aGst excellent paper, Primary
