DALLAS GOOD FELLOWSHIP
 TRIP e

The Dallas Trade Extension party of 15O business men who will be in Prescott on Thursday, May 10th, have established as one of their strict est rules that no member is to solicit business for his house. The purpose of this visit is solely to become better acquainted with the people of this section and to cultivate good will be- tween the men of affairs of this com. munity and of Dallas.
 Incidentally, but equally important the Dallasites will take back to Dallas a fund of information that will be of value to investors generally. In the promotion of good fellowship good music is counted on to play its part, a brass band of thirty pieces providing patriotic and popular airs in every town on the schedule.
 Some of the most popular orators of the State of Texas will be members of the excursion party. Judge Will liam H. Atwell always punctuates his logic with fund of appropriate anec- dotes and wit. Dr. s. H. c. Burgin, one of the leading pulpit orators of the Southwest, will this year for the first time accompany the Dallas busi- ness men. Then there is Hon. R. E.. L. Knight, president of the State Fair of Texas and whom every audience wishes to hear again and again-he makes a host of friends on every Dallas trade trip. Others of equal prominence and popularity will in various towns be seen and heard. An evening program will be provided in a suitable hall in towns where the special train will be parked for night stops. At other places the program will probably be given in the open air.
 We also learn that most of the firms represented on this trip are now having some most attractive souve- nirs provided for general distribution to the public or for special distribu- tion to business friends met en route.
