PULLING FOR THE MAIFEST.
•
Commendable spirit is being shown by the merchants of the
city to make this year's Maifest the one big social achievement in
the last twenty years. Notwithstanding the fact that a considera-
ble drain has been made upon the generosity of the merchants they
are responding in a manner that is a full guaranty of the success
of 'he big spring festival.
Committees, each member of whom is a responsible business
man, are devoting time and time means money in an effort to
create one Immense show. These business men have a habit of suc-
ceeding In all efforts and the task they now have in hand will be
no exception. Business men are calling upon other business men
and discussing contribution*! and other expensive subjects with a
■/.eal that is astonishing because of the peculiar situation it pro-
duces.
Brenham firms will have at least fifty floats in the grand pa-
rade. This is reasonably surti because of the encouragement al-
ready received. Many are now preparing the floats. The other
attractions will be better than ever before and prospects four weeks
before the date of the show promise to surpass all former exhibitions*
