taken, and sufficient amount of capital

Mr. Hardeman's purpose is to see if he can
get some OF the stock taken here.
The purpose of the exposition, IS set forth
IN brief circular bearing the signature OF
j. w. Ryckman, the Secretary il to bring
together the productions OF the cotton
fields OF America and other countries; and
also, the fertilizers, implements and
machinery used in the production, handling
and manufacture of cotton; and to exhibit
every known art, process and manipulation
pertaining to cotton fibre, from the seed TO
the most finely finished article. 1t i be
ileved that this exposition will be the first
complete congregation of all the interests
which producers, machine-makers and man
utactures have in the cotton staple; and that
1t will greatly benefit and Will give a ire
mendOus impetus to everything belonging di- /
rectly or Indirectly to the cotton industry |
Suitable buildings have already been
planned anu will be erected, in an admira- |
bic location, at this centre of the cotton-pro- |
ducing region of the United States and Will /
be prouided with every appliance requisite |
for the perfect and convenient exhibition OF |
the material and machinery that will Ger
tainly seek SO favorable an opportunity to |
present their claims to the world.
The public will also be enabled to see the /
cotton plant in all of the culture, in we'll |
arranged plats, planted in successive seasons, |
with every variety of seeds; and, also, Judge |
of the worth of various fertilizers and sys-
TENS OF the agriculture, as exhibited in the
plats cultivated under the eye of superin-
tendent, by various contestants for large
premiums.
The management will furnish ample faci-
tiles for the exhibition Of all other textile
fabrics and their products, and the machiu-
cry used in their production and manufac-
ture. 1t has also been determined, in
answer to very pressing demand from
other sections of the South, to pro vide space
for the display of the other staple products,
IS tobacco, sugar, rice, etc, in their raw
and manufactured states Arrangements
are also being made for a consolidated ex-
libit from the mines fields and forests in
he territories penetrated by the leading
ines of railway conYerging upon Atlanta.
All these railways have subscribed for stock
md have pledged themselves to furnish
very facility to exhibitors and visitors, by
he most convenient arrangements and re
iuced freight and passenger rates. i
