COMMUNITY FAIRS.

Hon. Clarence E. Gilmore of the
Wills Point Chronicle is a progressive
chap, and one of the real builders of
Texas. "A number of communities in
East Texas last year held community
fairs, among them Troup and Mabank
being the most conspicuous for the
success of the events held" says Mr..
Gilmore. at strikes the Chronicle as
a good thing for this county. 1t would
be better to have county fair, but
community fair would arouse inter
est and eventually lead to an exhibit
of the products of the county on a
larger scale, The community fair, at
which the various products of the
farm are brought together, gives a
general holiday in each year that may
be looked forward to with pleasure by
both old and young and the interest
and rivalry will inspire all to better
efforts for the Improvement of their
products, incidentally causing the de-
velopment of the county. There is
more in emulation than some people
are willing to concede and the COM
munity fair inspires emulation for the
best. There will be better fusing of
interests among the tillers of the SOIL
an exchange of instruction and seed
and arrangements may be made to
market their products to better advan-
tage. AS result of community or
county fair very creditable exhibit
could be gotten together to enter at
the Dallas Fair. and it would be
worth much to the county" There is
room at the Fair for the Van Zandt
exhibit and all other exhibits. East

The idea of organizing an East
Texas Industrial Congress is being
propagated by Editor Yantis of the
Athens Review, who is president of
the East Texas Press Association.
He proposes that it be formed at Mac
ogdoches during the meeting of the
Press Association in April. East
Texas has been decidedly backward in
such movements. It's people can or
ganize political movement with more
vim and alacrity than any other peo-
pie in Texas. Perhaps it is because
of this relative Indifference to indus.
trial organization that East Texas has
been developed much less rapidly
than other sections far inferior to it
in the way of natural resources. 1t is
estimated that only 25 per cent of the
land in East Texas is in cultivation
Perhaps that proportion is not less
than it is for the state as a whole
But East Texas offers better than the
average opportunity; so that if it is
as well developed as is the state as a
whole, that fact evidences a deficien-
cy somewhere. We think it is in re-
spect to organized effort; that it is
due to its failure to call the attention
of a busy world to the fact that for
diversified farming 1t offers opportu-
mites equal to the very best, in or
out of Texas.-Dallas News.

BABE FORCED ON COMPANY

The traction company of Wilkes
barre, Pa, caused William Gordon to
be sent to Jail for throwing stone
through car window. His wife plead
ed for his release, but in vain. Then
she went to the traction offices and
placed her baby on the counter. We'll.
you'll have to support the child" she
said. 81 cannot"
Then she left SO quickly they could
not catch her.
The embarrassed officials placed the
child with the United Charities and
had Gordon released.

Texas is fertile, East Texas has the
resources, East Texas has the timber
and water and fuel and East Texas
has cheap land. Its builders should
get together and push things. A
splendid exhibit at the State Fair of
1910. Push it along.-Dallas Times
Herald.
The above question is one that An.
derson county should get hold of be.
fore the next big state fair. This
county could show up with an exhibit
that would reflect great credit on its
and resources. The
Board of Trade members are the peo-
pie to head this movement, and it is
work well worth while.

MONUMENT TO DOG HERO

For saving the life of his ten-year
old son gentleman of Trenton, N. j.,
had dog buried with all ceremony
recently in casket covered with
flowers, and has erected monument

he would not go alone. Wednesday
night about the time for retiring, it
appears that he was seized with one
OF these fits, SO called, and his actions
were so threatening that Mrs. Spald-

band. Finding all efforts to induce
bis wife to return, unavailing, Mr..
Spalding arranged his financial affairs,
made plans for his funeral and burial,
and going to the store of True &
Blanchard purchased a revolver and
took his life. Reports in circulation
that he was drinking and under the
influence of liquor at the time are er
