and will be read with interest by very many OF our
readers.
As conclusion to the many references we have
made TO the exhibition, we may say that, consider
ing it was about the first effort made to combine in
one exhibition a display of the Agricultural, Me-
chancal and Manufactured products, including the
handcraft OF the farer portion of our citizens, of this
city and county, and the adjacent localities, the re-
suits are highly gratifying and encouraging for SINH
lareffortS in future.
This fair has at least proved that we possess not
only the resources but that we have in midst
the inventive genius, the energy and the skill,
which, If fostered and protected, would enable this
section OF Western Virginia to rival any part of the
world in her attainnents in the useful arts aud sci
ences, in the richness of her crops, in the beauty
of her stock, in the successful invention and ap-
plcatons of her machinery, in the refinement and
skill and intellectual development OF her daugh-
ters in all that renders our social system happy and
prosperous, and constitutes the only lasting basis OF
our national glory.
Let, then, the future efforts of our farmers and
artisans, to emulate the highest standards of ex-
cellence in their productions, be encouraged, in
Short let the labor Of our people be protected if we
would realize the full fruition of our!fondest hopes
50 that when would search for land peculiar
ly blessed above all other lands, where the sun
shines the brightest, and the fruits Of the earth
the sweetest, where the fowls of the air and the
beasts of the field are the grandeSt, and man, the
lord over ALL is the noblest, and woman, the adorn-
ment OF ALL is the loyeliest; where all the scenes
that shall livein memory the most glorious, and
all the ties that cluster around the heart and conse
crate the altar of the domestic roof the most en-
dearing, we shall find after searching all other
climeS,
''Where'er our footsteps roam,
That land OUR country, and that spot our home.'
