was an interest in the Fair but il was
living around loose. He did not he
lieve that there was anv one who did
not feel an interest i'm the Fair. Knox
vile and the country are closely linked
together. There is not an additional
blade of grass that grows in the coun-
! try but what it benefits the city. and
not house is built in the CITY but
what it benefits the country. IfKnox-
vile fails to do her duty in this she
will certainly feel bad about it. The
present generation had not undertaken
a single enterprise to build M this
country. The past generation built
the railroads, and they built them
when there was not one dollar to
where there is one now. 1t was time
| for the present generation to take hold.
| The Secretary had asked too little by
asking simple interest. He thought
that he should have asked every mer-
chant in the city to offer some special
premium. He thought that it would
pay them, if not at once, in the future.

houses at least one or two days, and he
thought they should go farther, and
open their private residences to strang-
