THE FIRST GREAT REASON
Why you should be a regular reader of The
G-azette is that it has an established reputa-
tion for truth, and discrimination against
everything that will tend to lower the stand-
ard of good morals, refinement and culture.
YOU SHOULD BE GAREFUL
As to the kind of paper that is admitted into
your homes as well as the kind of people you
admit there. The newspaper is a regular
visitor, and is more persistent in exercising
its influence than are the visitors whom you
might exclude. The value of a newspaper
that does not turn aside from a standard
that is guarded at all times to keep it on a
high plane morally, cannot be over estimated.
THE GAZETTE WAS FOUNDED
And has been built up with a high ideal as
to the influence it should exert in the homes
of its subscribers, and the possession of these
qualities, with its large and increasing space
devoted to Home News should incline you
to it, and cause you to become a regular
subscriber. Let it have your consideration.
All these attractions in tne Coliseum
are FREE, morning and afternoon,
and only the nominal charge of
twenty-five cents in the evening.
The attractions on the Midway
will be in the capable hands of Her-
bert A. Kline, with his great aggre-
gation of high-class shows. In a’l,
there will be fifty shows and amuse-

people have been pouring in all day
on special trains. The Texas Spec-

from Dallas came in at 7 a. m.,
bringing several hundred Baptists
from centrafl north and east Texas.
It is estimated by the convention
officials that this is by far the larg-
immoral exhibitions of any character es^ tendance that has ever been
here. Every cottage on the large
grounds has been engaged , about
250 tents have been put up and are
all taken and the messengers are
allowed on the grounds.

wonderful and unlimited resources,
and anyone interested or seeking in-

cure every detail of information re-
garding the Lone Star State and its
innumerable resources.
The State Fair of 1911, October
14th to 29th (16 days), will be larg-
er and greater than ever. While it
embraces an area of 135 acres and
has 28 4,78 5 square feet of exhibit
floor space in its permanent build-
ings, every foot of space in the fix-
ers, Textile and Fine Arts, Imple-
ment and Vehicle buildings, as well
as on the Implement Plaza, has been
contracted for and only a very lim-
ited amount of out door space re-
mains untaken. This, four months
in advance of the opening, furnishes
food for thought, as there 1b a rea-

exhibitors have constructed on the
grounds at an aggregate cost of
$28,000, permanent and individual
buildings for their exhibits; among
the number being: John Deere Plow
Co.. Ohio Cultivator Co., The Texas
Co., The Texas Portland Cement
Co., American Steo- and Wire Co.,
J. I. Case Plow Co., J*xas Moline

the permanent improvements for
1911 the new Live Stock Building,
constructed of steel and concrete
and thoroughly modern in every re-
spect, will be thrown open to exhib-
itors and visitors on Opening Day,
(Cctober 14th). This building is
168x100 feet, with an arena of 136x
65 feet and has a seating capacity of
2050. A visit to the State Fair of
Texas is worth the while.
