THE STATE FAIR.
1t Is in Full Progress With Good
Crowds in Attendance.

Today is Merchants Day at the
Fair. There reached Shreveport
this forenoon by special trains thou
sands of visitors from every section
of this State and the territory ad-
jacent to this city. To secure a COM
plete success of the day there were
issued special invitations by the
Chamber of Commerce to over three
thousand men engaged in business
pursuits within the commercial ter
ritory of Shreveport. Probably half
Of this number with their wives and
some with all their families are at
the State Fair today taking in the
sights.
In this great gathering of people
there prevails the spirit of cordial
ty engendered through the welcome
rendered the visitors. 1t is as an ef-
fervescence of enthusiasm irrepres-
sible which is infection, and without
which the best of fairs would seem
to be dull and mOnOtOnOus. Mer-
chants Day is not only feature bu)
it will always be recalled pleasantly

Civil War Pensioners,

New Orleans picayune Nov. 5: The
report of the United States Commits
+sioner of Pensions, made up to July
1 of this year, shows there were
then alive 462,379 civil war pen

There were 2,772,4 enlistments
in the United States Army for the
civil war, and reduced to- a three
year basis the number was put down
at 2,320,272, and it appears that after
nearly half century one-fifth OF
them are alive and receiving PEN
sions. The Confederate force which
fought them was not more than
650,OOO, and they fought at odds o.
about four to one. Some OF theif
survivors receive small pensions
from their respective States. 1t Is
not known how many of the Goa
federate Veterans are yet alive, bu'
ldoubtless as large numbers OF then
as receive pensions support them.
