who went out to make arrangements for
the distribution o. space, for which there

given up exclusively to exhibitors so that
there will be ample room. The grounds
outside are already occupied by various

For the exhibition of cotton, farming I'M
plements, carriages, machines, fabrics,
etc, the arrangements are complete,
There is to be an elegant booth out there

with power enough to drive M number

for planning, for knitting, ginning, and,
in fact, all sorts of machines for saving

is nearly finished at the southern end OF
the smphithester. 1t Is already rented
