ABubject that should be of para- m unt interest to the business men of Paducah is the holding of a fair here this fall. The facts of the case are that the fair association has lost money during the past few years, and the directors are unwilling to hold a fair bere this ycar unless they are guaranteed against loss. The plan has been suggested by some ot our merchants that tickets be puj chased at the rate of 25 cents each to the number of 4,000, thus guaran- teeing gate receipts of one thousand dollars. By this means it is believed that the association can make the “Joss falling upon the individual di- rectors ; also that that guorantee will enable the association to do the large amount of acdvertisiog that will be necessary to get the people here from neighboring counties, and that feat. ures can be furnished at the fair that will make it vastly more attractive than in the past. Thus far, however,the responses of the merchants to the plan have not been of a very assuring character. Some have subscribed liberally, but many have not responded at all, Some have not yet been seen by the committee in charge, and doubtless will subscribe when given the oppor- tunity. We publish below a list of those business men who have agreed to take tickets. It will be seen that the list is not as long as it should be by any means. It is to be hoped that those business men who have not yet subscribed for tickets will do so at once, and not let Paducah go without a fair this year. No merchant business man should refuse to aid in this plan, be- vause he is afraid his neighbor will reap more benefit from the fair than he does, We want all to understand that first of all we must work for the Paducah, Trade must first be brought to Paducah be- fore any merchant can get it. any merchant feels thac he has not gotten his share of the business this Su or best interests of time, he knows that the next time he may be able to lo better. But every dollar left in Paducah eventually ben- efits the whole city. We must re- member the old saying that in union there The Sew has great fiith in tLe future of Paducah, But it lizes that our merchants and busioess: “petty jealousies and work for Pas “Pa. last and all the time,’” is strength r men must lay aside their ducab, Our motto must be, ducab first, Everything must be made secondary to the advancement of Padueah’s in terests. The ferred to is as follows: We, the undersigned, hereby agree to purchase and be responsible for the number of admission tickets op- posite our names respectively, at the rute of twenty five cents each, for the October 1898 fair, said tickets tobe used for free distrihation to our friends and custumerr. This method is adopted to secure a large attend- ance of visitors to the city, and to in- sure a “guarantee fund’’ without which the fair directors cannot go alead with the fair.

Paducah’s Remarkable Situation, and What Her Business Men Should Do to Make Her a Great Manufac- turing and Commercial City. The Manufacturers’ Record, that led exponen! of the New South, has adopted as its motto “Busiaess Before Politivs.”” When the S+otiment ’ f that motto finds a p in the minds of all southern leaders, wuethe i+ political or commercial circles, the south will have entero| upon 4 period of prosperity that will find no counterpart in the history of the world, Probably no man in America can give a more vivid picture of tle yrosperity in store for this section than President Fish of the great Illinois Central railroad system. In a recent article in the Times-Democrat of New Orleans, Mr. Kish gives some facts bearing upon the great commercial pos- sibilities of the Mississippi Valley. ‘Tue peculiar situation of Paducah, it being both in the fvalley of the Mississippi and upon the Illinois Central system, and also richly endowed by nature in numberless ways, makes the words of President Fish of vital interest. He said in part: “The valley of the Mississippi,”’ says Mr. Fish, ‘extending from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexivo, ani from the Allegbanies to the Rockies today supplies the food of the Jarger part of the civilized world. Apart from its dominant position in the control of the food products, it stands unrivaled in its ability to take a leading part in manufactures. “Chicago, the chief distributor, is so located as to be able to force both the food products and the maaufactures of the valley either east or Toward the south, following the lines of the least resistance, is the uor' . south, natural outlet. “This valley, divided by broad and deep rivers, the natural highways |; o’ commerce, and intersected, east and west, north and south, by gigantic systems of railway, possesses all the elements necessary to make it the man- ufacturing center of this country; in fact, of the world. “Among the essential elements rendering this achievement possible are unlimited areas of fertile soil, an abundance of raw material—iron ore, coal, timber, cotton and wool—cheap food, and, above all, industrious inhabi- tants enjoying the cheapest and best of inland transportation facilities.”’ After an exhaustive review of the volume of foreign trade of which the tates is entitled to the largest share, President Fivh says: ne Mississippi basin is capable of producing all the articles that these foreign countries require or will take from the United States, ‘Tie Mlinois Central system of railroads ran through the heart of this great agricultural and manufactming region, It stretches frem the sugar, cotton and lumber regions of Louisiana and Mississippi to the grain and modities between the states and towns traversed, It binds the commercial centers of the ‘Middle West’ with those of the South, and transfers the varying products of each to the other, It collects, in the vast territory reached by its lines, the wares and merchandise traflicked in by the mer- chants of New Orleans, aod tributes throughout the country the stores of merchandise shipped by the New Orleans merchants into the interior, * The raiiroad is tally equipped to do its duty in the era of commercial prosperity oa which, as 4 The latent power and force inhereat io the field ays them at her door, La like manner tt dis- nation, we have entered. naturally tributary to New Orleans, as well as the intense energy and tivity of the people inhabiting it, alike make for startling achievements, And right in the center of this territory is situated Paducah, The mind cannot congeive of s more fortunate location. he pork) aysl fields of America are within a radias of a few hundred miles; to the south and southwest are the plantations that grow the cotton of the world, while right in our own Western Kentucky are the great tobacco fields of the world. No other city in America occupies the position that Paducah does with reference to the wheat, coro, tobacco and cotton lands. «A few hours’ ride from Paducab by steamer or by rail will put one into the center of any of these four great agricultural belts. Tobacco, wheat, cora and cotton pass through Paducah in vast quantities seeking a ma In fact, na- ture seems to have designated Paducah as the commercial center of the richest agricultural portion of all America, But Paducah must work out her own prosperity. In these days of competitive town building, of great railroad systems and low freight rates, of shifting commercial centers and expanding foreign commorce, no city or town can rely solely upon the endowments of nature to bring it prosperity. Even the merchants and business men of New York city haye been com- pelled to adopt radical measures during the last few months to retain for that great city the commercial supremacy that has belonged to her since the early days of the republic. The weapon that all successful cities use is organization and co-opera- tion, Chicago, St. Lonis, New Orleans, Baltimore, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Birmingham and the smaller manufacturing cities of the South have all reached their present status of wealth and prosperity through organization, What these cities have done on a vast scale Paducah can do on a smaller scale, but yet on a scale that will add many thousands of people to ous al- ready growing population. —<—— C.
