tember. The building in which the ex-
hibitions are to DO held, was de-
Sig led for and has boen adopted rs model
cotton mill. II is of one story, made in the
sh,po ola Greek cross, land is something over
seven hundred feet long. The fare from Dali
las To Atlanta and back will be the same as
that from Chicago thither and return, viz.
fifteen dollars, which certainly appears to be
low onough. A large number of northern
and eastern merchants, mainly of those on.
gagged in the cotton business in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
hive made liberal contributions
TO ward the cost of the on erprlse,
and have promised 10 b, on hand to take

'e,ings. The structures and grounds will
Naen put in stats of complete pre-
something like quarter of a

sniid scheme. for Georgia, and moro par.
ncularly for Atlanta, that will have the
buildings for all the coming time. Savannah
also, though in tho back ground thus far, Is
most deeply interested in the success of the
schsme. Whether Galveston or New
Orlesn, will take much stock
in II, remains to be seen. How far north
Texas Is concerned, and especially Dallas.
is to DO determined by our people. The
amount OF Information to DO procured a.

Of the world, tho central point, was the
place, as 1t, strikes us, to have gone into Jus
such scheme. BY fall tho Southern p,
