TOBACCO FOR THE VIENNA FAIR.-We
are pleased to state that the suggestion
that our tobbacconists send spe.
cimens o. their manufacturers to the
Vienna Exposition is well received, and
the probability is, that our city will be
represented at that great Fair. The re-
putation Of Lynchburg for skill in
handling and preparing the fragrant
weed Tor trade and consumption is such
that she need not fear the competition
that will be there encountered. We
hope that our manufacturers will show
their "spunk' and their enterprise by
throwing down the gauntlet to the whole
world, and saying, beat US if you
can" 1t will be no empty victory to
take the premiums at an exhibition OF
the industries OF the entire world ; but
one which will bear abundant fruits.
All that is necessary to do it, we be-
lieve, is tor our manufacturers to put 10
an appearance with some OF their su-
perb products.-Lynchburg Vrginian.
