MANY NEW FEATURES
FOR NO-TSU-OH
Houston's Big Carnival More Elabo.
rate this Year Than ANY Previous
Event of the Kind.

Houston, Texas, July 5.-The 1912
No-Tsu-Oh-Nov 11-16-wiIl be a
thoroughly distinctive affair; in fact
With the many new features pro-
'osed by the directors the carnival
viii be entirely different and more
elaborate than any previous event Oh
he kind.
Back of the undertaking there are
'eyeral big ideas. In the first place
he management has realized the ne
,essity of making the carnival more
preventative of The various com
nercial and industrial interests Of
Texas, particularly, South Texas;
and with this end in view it it pro-
hosed 20 gradually enlarge the car
nival until it will in time result in
a great state exposition second TO
none in America. In addition to this
the No-Tsu-Oh will retain its not
able social features making Ii an
attraction of statewide Importance
and an event that will draw support
from all the larger cities OF Texas as
we'll as of the South. Even now the
social functions of the No-Tsu-Oh
are widely known features that at
tract attention throughout the
State.
Probably the most important idea
evolved i'll connection with making
the carnival more of a state enter
prise is that of adding a land EXPOSE
ton that will show to advantage all
the soil and farm products of Texas.
There - no similar affair in Texas
now or IN the South for that matter;
that, is, no annual event. With the
variety of products that can be as
semoled-eyn:hits Of live stock. cit
rls, mineral and dairy products,
fruits and flowers it is thought TIL t
y { advantages and fertility of South
Texas soils can be shown as in no
other manner. AS a site for the per-
manent bIildinsF o. the land show.
a large tract of land almost on the
heart of 14ouston will be purchased
and the necessary improvements
made. The improvements will consist
of a large machinery hall. band
stand, music hall, agricultural
building, poultry and livestock build
ing, administration building, art
building and main exhibit building
of fire-proof construction. The plans
of thes buildings are being prepar-
ed and will take definite shape in the
near future.

t h New Features.

More than ever before the carni-
val promoters will go i IN this year
for entertainment along high-class
educational lines. To do this arran-
gements have been made for vaude-
vile performances in the new Audi
torium to run during the entire Pc
Rod Of the carnival. Many attractions
direct from the New York Hippo
drome have been engaged and this
feature will considerably augment
the general attractions of the ex-
position.
Another good idea in arranging
the carnival attractions for the con-
v%enience Of the patrons Is the plan TO
concentrate the shows by using the
City Auditorium and all the available
space near this structure. Here will
be found the land exposition, the ex-
hibits of all kinds, the midway, the
vaudeville shows and other attrac-
lions.
BY way of contributing to the
merriment of the occasion and to fos-
ter the Carnival Spirit, it has been
decided to celebrate No-Tsu-Oh day.
Mayor Rice has agreed Ito whive
the usual restrictions and formalities
in order that a MASK parade may be
added as a part of the closing days
of the carnival. This affair, however,
is to be strictly a daylight celebra-
tion.
That the carnival this year will be
more elaborate than ever before is
Ievidenced by the fact that the direc-
tors have been at work planning the
program almost since the celebration
Of rhe last carnival. The various
committees headed by some Of the
most enterprising citizens of Hous-
ton are actively at work completing
the details for their respective de-
partments.
Another indication of the scope
and success of the carnival this year
is the deep interest the business and
commercial interests Of Harris coun-
ty are showing in the enterprise. As
every line of business will be re-
| presented in the exhibits and in the
parade, all local interests are aiding
the promoters in every possible way.

MYR|ADS OF FISH.
SEEN BY JUDGE Benton
Winchester's Other Noted Fishermen
Are Made to Look Like Thirty
Cents by Marvellous Story.

Since Judge Bentcn returned from
Barboursville Wednesday afternoon.
where he had been acting as Special
Judge, he has been RECALLING Oscar
Johnson. Jim Furniture Vim. Squire
Hunter, Henry Bush and other
fishing cronies with IA remarkable fish
story.
The Cumberland river runs
through Baiboursville and the heavy
rains lasting from Sunday at noon
till Monday night had made biz
tide in the river. and by noon Tues
day the river was a sure enough
stream and was very muddy.
The town branch empties into the
river. and at noon Tuesday IA
Judge Benton went to the depot t,
send IN important telegram 10 Judge
Evans-what it was about we don'i
know-possibly it related to the new
ill-he saw that the river had back
up the clear water of the tow
branch, and he imagined that thi>
bayou must be full of fish that had
come into this clear wafer to escape
the mud of the river.
Fishing tackle was procuhed "a
the hotel to give this water a try
cut. On the first east the bait was
taken not simply with a nibble, but
with a hnge, and something tina:
vas sure heavy had taken it, but
when an effort was made to draw il
the victim escaped.
While rebaiting the hook Judge
Benton happened to look intently
into the water, and found it just
teeming with fish, all sorts of fish.
big fish, little fish, medium sized fish.
pike. bass. new lights, Dream, cats.
kittens and every conceivable fish:
some of them as large as a haE
grown boy.
There were enough fish fiOundering in
that bayou to supply Prewitt Harris
for year, and they were larger
than the ones he gets from Reelfort
Lake. Jim Poynter and Cliff Owens
never caught as many fish on one OF
their best days at Muddy Creek.
The catfish were larger and more
plentiful than the ones that Malcolm
Royce and Uncle Bill Harris catch
ut the reservoir by moonlight. There
were more fish there than Jim VIM
and Doctor Stubbleiield ever saw OF
dreamed of in Alabama.
The flSh stores and pictures tnai
Henry Phillips and Dwight Pendle-
ton bring hcme from Florida look
like thirty cents when compared with
that mass of squirming monsters,
big and little. in that town branch
# Barboursvile last Tuesday.
The second bait that was thrown
in was grabbed as soon as it Int the
water and a Dream as large as a
ginger snap was successfully landed.
This scared all the other fish away.
This is a true account of what
Judge Benton did, and the vision
that he saw in a dream Tuesday
night.
