Address of the Trogressivc Corhmlttce
to the farmers stock raisers and la-
dies of Taylor Jones Haskell Stone
wall Nolan Fisher Rinriells Coke
Coleman Callahan Shackelford and
ndjqining counties:'
Wc' beg to remind you that a fair
will' be held in the city of Abilene on
the 1 st ici and 3d of October next.
It is the iAtfc.ntionof the rnanagc-
ment of the fair to o'fTqr art' opportunity
to you and to the citizens of all the
counties of this section of the state to
exhibit your fine stock your agricul-
tural productions and the ladies' handi-
work'. . '
The district fair held at Abilene last
October was so well patronized by
you and the exhibit was so magnificent
in eve"ry detail that the management
have been encouraged to undertake
another fair to be held as stated above.
.Tlia't the material is to be found in
great abundance to make an exhibit'
that will surprise the world there can
be no doubt for you have been favored
witli a glorious season and your fields
and pastures are yielding to nature's
full lirnit. We have cause tobe.thank-
fuf for the bountiful crops of our glo-'
rious country and while eVeryohemay
be contented with the good things that
have fallen to his lot yet it must be the
pleasure .of every one.tp let the outside
wunu Know me superior advantages 01.
U' i-ti i. iJ ' i . w. y f
bur country. 'While" we have nowmuW
tO'b'e thankful fo? yet-we may'expect
rtdre frqrnthe. development and settle
ment of our country. Allow us to sug-
gcslr'a few of the many advantages that
we will enjoy from a speedy develop-
ment of our country which you can
assist in by hearty co-operation in the
fair-movefrient:. b f

boys.andfgij:ls will be .increased' and
we may expect to see a comfortable
schpolhouse on every league of land
in'trie country. The lands now held
stead of being assessed as now at a
the settler rendered like purs at full
yaluefortaxation and then they will
contribute their full share of taxes.
But aTewfiguresiil demonstrate'
yoiuyJi'QwtL'greatlytithe taxable values
would be increased and as the expenses
of government are-fixed you will
feairstcvhlt-all?g9extenfnii?
burdens ofiftaatibnrtt'duld'Sbe taken
from your shoulders if the vacant
places of this country were owned and.
:occypied:Bjcthe ?settler'ia"nd not1held-
as;n6 Jjyon-residents.
' The.settlement of the country means
the building of new-railroads-' to carry
"fo the m'afkets of'fhe fvdrldfyour fsur-
mevt -ip -w.f' ks mJ-KfrJ' ' V
plus crops' and stock. We will then
have rival railroads that will compete
with each other to carry away the pro
ductions of our cpuntry.and with their
completion you may expect to get
your products to market at less than
half of what it now costs.
Then tqo( the settlement of tlie
jcquritry meansltlie. buildings oOlarge
.towns 'and cities' whereybif can find a
iready.sale for the rnafty.thingsthar can-
not be shipped to distant markets.and
which are lost or wasted unless sold at
home. It means the establishment of
ifa.cforjes 5thatQyillcorisurne the raw
material pfoduced by yout the. canning
of your fruits and vegetables etc.
But it is so apparent to every one of
ytpajjkjojour personal and in-
dividual advantage that our country
should rapidly settle up that any fur-
ther statement from us is wholly unnec-
essary. "
To .accomplish ..tjie desired end
should beUherriesf .effort of every
one and we can only expect it through
h&cpmbined efforts of the citizens of
our couniry. ircuiars.ana dooks iuu

Safe in our own. belief that ours is a
desirable cqtmtryijj pvery particular
pride of honvfi ftnd lovo of country
should prompt us to offer evidences of
this statement to the homesecker' frojn
"other lands and in doing this we;scttk
OUr eoilnlry With the best class bf home
seekers and its citizenship will be in fu-
ture centuries to come as it is now as
good as any (to be found on the green
earth In speaking of bur country
now wc may truthfully boast tliat our
citizens arc law-abiding intelligent and
progressive and that their superiors
cannot be found and that a country so
rich in natural advantages as.ourB and
with such a citizenship to start with
must necessarily prosper and grow rich
and strong if we only do" our part.
Give us your hearty support con-
tribute something to the exhibit at; the
' fair next October and aid in producing
an effect upon the outside world that
will result in the development andprps-
perity: of . our common country. 'Our;
country is growing nnd let OUr district
fair next October grow tdo. And
with the hope thatyou will be there
and that the exhibit made l)y you will
be worthy of our country wc.are yours
