Forty-two booth have been taken

A number of these booths have been
taken by jobbers for the display of
their goods. The program committee

for these three days, and as every-
thing will be free it hi expected that
large crowds will be in atendance. A
great many things will be seen at this
Show which the general public doc*
not know is handled here.
A contract has been made with Mr.
G. A. Buie, by the Fair Association,
to put up the building. He and his
men are waiting for plans from th-
architect, and will likely slake off
ground for the foundation Saturday
morning. This building will be 70 x
100 feet and will be erected at the
entrance to the Fair grounds. There
will be an ornamental stucco front,
with columns on each side. The cen-
ter will be ent in for the entrance,
with ticket windows on each side.
The building will be used for exhib-
its this fall, and the booths that are
to be constructed are only temporary.
The building will go back to the grand-
stand, apd one door will lead into the
center of the exhibit space under the
grandstand. Another door in the north-
east corner will lead to entrance of
the grandstand. The building will add
Immeasureably to the appearance and
the serviceability of the Fair grounds,
and the Association felt grateful to
the co-operation of those who have
made it possible to put up this struct-
ure.
Another Appreciated Visit.
at the regu-
lar meeting the band boys were hon j
orod by a visit from Mr. and Mt*. C. j
L. Downing and Misses Gladys Waller i
and Nona Blevins. These good people
surprised the boys by saying that they
had gone to sleep many time* listen- j
Ing to the good music of the band, i
That 'a easy understood of course,
but the boys suy they just can't keep
from playing so well. But the best
surprise was the nice refreshment*
served byvthe visitors. Something an
usual for visitors, which consisted o
sandwiches, lemon pie, hot choeolat
and divinity candy, all of which wn
of a quality that would satisfy th
taste of the most exacting person. It
was also very nice and so much ap
predated that the boys are determined
tp do better and improve to the point
that, they can render some music that
will keep these, and maybe other good
people awake.

Dray Line is Sold.
Starkey & Son, Draymen, have sold
their business to Messrs. W. G. Cline
and Hugh Shipley, and Messrs. A. and
E. E. Starkey expect to leave, with
their families, in a short time for
Anadnrko. It is a distinct regret to
lose these good people, after their
residence with u# so long. We hope
that their move will prove to
their benefit, and yet if in the future
it should seem best for them to come
back here, we would be mighty glad.
The new proprietors have taken
charge of their business like they had
been doing that sort of thing all their
lives, and we hope for them much
success.
Our stock is fresh and complete, so
we can give you satisfaction if
you buy from us.

Around this gram plot will he placed
a driveway, connecting np with the

Thanks from Parrish Committee.
W. D. Smith, campaign manager for
Hon. Lucian W, Parrish, tends out a
letter from Fort, Worth, expressing in
the strongest terms the appreciation
felt by the committee for support of
Mr. Parrish in his race for the Sen-
ate. Mr. Smith stnted that, the can-
didate was gaining ground very rapid
ly and there was no doubt In his mind
of his election.
Mr. Smith voices a sentiment that
has been expressed by many others,
thomnn who was taken from us at tho
nge of forty-four years was just at
tho beginning of a very useful eareer
for his country, and the loss of this
young man, of sturdy principles and
clear thinking is a loss beyond calcu-
lation. He hnd pulled himself up from
poverty and obseurity, and the world
always admires a man who can make
hia way in spite of every obstacle.

Mr, W, T. Britton made his friends
glad today by coming down town. He
is walking on his crutch and is taking
good care of his game foot, but the
fact that he is able to be out is a
great encouragement. Just what has
been wrong with the foot has been a
little bit of a problem, but Mr. Brit-
ton doesn’t care so much about That
was wrong with it if it will only go
on and get well.
Last Monday morning early Baylor
county got about nil Inch nnd a half
<rf rain. Tlint afternoon aaothe- half
inch fell, and Tuesday afternoon tho
south part of tho county got some
more. About, nn inch fell that day
at Bomnrton, though none foil at Sey-
mour. Tho rain came slowly nnd the
most went into the ground, though o-
nougli stnyed on top to make plenty
of stock water.
A lot could be said about this rain,
though wo are ashamed to come out
and say just how much it was ap-
preciated. The state papers, in com-
menting on the general rain over the
state, said It was the first general
good rain since last June, and this
applies to this section. Showers had
fallen along, but the ground was bad-
ly In need of a soaking. The season
is not deep enough yet, hut the pre
sumption is that more will come.
The wheat crop will be light this
year, but what was still alive and
growing will eomo right along. Oats
and all spring crops will be given an
impetus in the nick of timo. Grass
will soon be fine pasture, and non
there will be plenty of stock water,
the worrisome water hauling Job is
over for awhile.
Following tho rain the weather has
turned quite warm. Ground for the
most part is prepared and planting
will go forward In earnest. Cora will
be the first thing, and then cotton
will follow.
Heavy washing rains are reported
over the state. At Dallas 5.80 inches
fell in 24 hours. Roads are washed
in many places, crops damaged, and
at Waco some inhabitants east of the
river moved out on account of threat-
ened overflow.
