BUILDING was to have an office where q regis

however, in its exterior finish, did not
meet the approval of the Director General.
Since then, another plan has been adopted.
at an estimated expense of two thousand
three hundred dollars equally convenient

unique in exterior and general finish. This
plan was prepared by Mr.. Bergluhd, of the
McComb City, Industrial Works, was
adopted by the Centennial Board yesterday.
ard will be forwarded forthwith for the APP
prevail of the Director General.
La view of the thousands of our citizens
who contemplate visiting the Centennial
it is Important not only to have creditable
headquarters, but to have some one i'm charge
OF the same, who will be able to attend to
the interests of exhibitors from this State
and who viii be aUie to give 10 exhibitors
and visitors every possible Information they
may desire, pertaining to ,the Exhibition.
The State Centennial Board has agreed to
forward, free of charge to exhibitors. all
articles that may be accepted for exhibition.
SO that with the amount already expended.
the cost OF headquarters, aud furnishing
and attending to same, the appropriation
already made Is hardly sufficient to enable
your state Board to carry out its purposes
About $4,000 additional will be REQUIRED.
