K. L. Knight, president of the
Fair of Texas, announces that
■Mat extensive and complete ar-
nts have been made with a
ef Making the 1916 State Kair
0, which open* October 14,
■tinues to and through Octo-
2t. the largest, most interesting
nd
it valuable agricultural an
nal exposition ever held,
the year ju t passed, the
Management has conducted vast
ent enterprises at Fair Park
ically every department has
influence of the earnest de-
to bring all details connected
the Fair right up to the min-
ind, as a consequence, when the
Pair opens next fall, every nec-
equi[ ment and facility for an
i-making exposition will have
provided.
Miiai Largely Increased.
State Fair of Texas is, esaen-
an agricultural exposition; its
ia to gather togetner and dia-
annually a rrpresentative show-
of the wonderful resources and
•ilities of the great Southwest,
this in order that the peoples of
aectiona may have an in-
appreeiation of the marve-
fertility of Southwestern soils,
the incomparable advantages of
Matchless Southwestern climate,
i obvious that this purpose ran be
achieved by inducing and influ-
sg a large majority of farmers of
■action to bring displays of their
cts to Dallas, and with this end
the directors of the Fair
this year, voted large increases
liums for practically all classei
ftfricultural and live stock exhibit'
Tm premiums offered by the Fair
irear are undoubtedly the mo«t
able ever appropriated by any
Aasociation; and, likewise, the
number of premiums will be
greater than in th« past,
lav Ne Classiflcatione \dded
almost every division, and par
in the sections devoted to
agriculture and live stock, there will
be found this year a number of inter-
esting new classifications. In the
poultry section, a classification for all
kinds of pigeons has been devised,
and a special building is now being
constructed to house the large num-
ber of pigeon exhibits expected. The
raising of pigeons for the market is
becoming an important industry in
the Southwest—of sufficient import-
ance, in fact, to justify a good rep
resentation at the State Fair of
Texas.
Premium Mat for 1916 Now Keady.
W. H. Stratton, secretary of the
Fair Association, announces that the
premium list for 1916 has just been
issued and is now ready for general
distribution This is a book of 14-
pages, handsomely printed on good
paper, and is fittingly illustrated with
photographi'" reproductions of por-
traits of the officers and directors of
the Fair, and with scenes in Fair
Park
While the title of this work is sim
ply "Premium List," the publication
is, in fact, much more—as it con
tains a great deal of interesting and
valuable information relative to the
rules and regulations governing the
different classes and, in fact, all nee
eaaary daa relative to the aims and
purposes of the Fair.
A feature of this book which will
interest practically all Tynans will
be found in the front of the publica-
tion in the nature of a large folder,
40 inches long by 8 inches wide, upon
whic his illustrated a splendid pano-
ramic view of a portion of the lair
Grounds. This is I late photograph
and shows the grounds just as th«*y
are today. The reverse side of this
folder presents a fine panoramic view
of the present skyline of the city of
Dallas. This is likewise a very re-
cent photograph and glowingly lo
picts the wonderful growth which
; Dallas has attained in recent yean
' In the hack of the 191H I'reni ti"i
List will be found a similar lar :•
folder presenting many of the am i •••
ments which arc to be at the I i -
this fall The amusement pre,;,,mi.
as outlined by Secretary Stratton. ii
by far the largest and most expen-
sive ever ra'ered by the Fair man-
agement. ai'l while both odes of th.
large folder have been .tilize I
the purpose, it has bfen found to b>'
entirely impossible to prment a lar~o
portion of the acts which have al-
ready been secured.
Mr. Stratton states that a sufficient
number of Premium Lists have b. <-n
published to tuk<> care of all de-
mands, and that a copy will be ma I
to any address upon receipt of r ■
quoat. The't- is no charge for thM
publication. Those who wuh only th
various folders can for the askn,
secure copies beautifully bound
j i tally for free distribution to the pr >
pie of Texas and thr .Southwest
From the nature and exten' o*'
] preparatory work already conclude I,
it u easy to deduce that thr
State Fair of Texas, to t>. held ri
Dallas October li to .'9, wMI be tiu
largest in the hiotofy of Texas.

The older citizen* of Memphis
will remember the town of Napoleon,
that one time waa said to be the
wickedest town on earth. Many
years ago it waa wiped out of exist-
ence and has long been a memory,
nd not a very pleasant memory, at
that. Pious people have always
claimed that the sinfulness of this
early river town brought down upon
its head the obliterating wrath of
Providence, and they may have be«*n
right about that. Sodom aad Go-
morrah and the cities of the plains
arc said to have sinned away their
lay of grace and brought upon the in-
pelves destruction. Nevertheless
sometime* the good suffer as well as
the bad Indianola, Tex , furnishes
one authentic instance Indianola
was a flourishing and a prosperous
coast town that took great pride in
its schools and its churches It had
been settled for a long time, and
people felt secure and were happy.
In 18?6 a great tropical storm came
up out of the «ea and overwhelmed
and sadly injured this beautiful
place. Manv buildings were destroyed
and swept awav, and even the trees
that furnished shade were uprooted.
Some people moved away never to
return, hut the courage .if the major-
ity was undaunted, and they began
building up the waste places, and
soon the town was restored and even
enlarged. In 18H6 another tropical
tidal wave rolled over the little city
anil carri'il awav everything, leaving
the coast naked and unmarked by
anvthing save a few bricks to show
that it had ever been inhabited.
After the second disaster no one ever
dared return, and the site is fast
rvmrriing to a primeval wilderness.
