The Dallas News runs a 50
years ago column, made up
from files of the Galveston
News, several years before
the birth of the Dallas News,
which was established by the
owners of the Galveston News
and continued under that
management until just a few
years ago.
Many items of interest ap-
pear ni this column, still of in-
terest to old timers. For in-
stance, in a recent issue:
There was an increased at-
tendance at the North Texas
Fair at Dallas yesterday, the
feature of the day being a
military contest consisting of
the Tarrant Rifles, Trinity
Guards, Lamar Rifles and
Stonewall Grays.
The peak daily attendance
at that fair was put at 3003.
Here is another itum that
shows how times ha^e chang-
ed in half a century:
The East Texas University,
at Tyler, was opened today
with much enthusiasm. The
new building, costing about
$25,000, is oi:e of the finest
school buildings In the State.
Here is a political item of
interest to many old timers.

and oays—"Spigotry also en-

Wall street is a very rich

Wall street is no better off

then, they are making some
progress in Philadelphia just
now since making radical
changes in the police force.
The death of a student at
the State University, whlio
being "initiated" into one of
the societies, is causing a lot
of kicks to come in from dif-
ferent parts of the state, and
the result may be the banning
