Isle work can form no Just conception Of
the la0or and time and money required 10
do what has been done In publishing such
mammoth edition as the one we
give to the public to-day. As STA.
ten IA the column Of the special issue our
agents have beea sent all over the state and
have acted under instruction to spare no
labor or expense In gathering authentic

of throwing oil, ready for mailing,
the large edition. has reached several
thousand dollars. The entire paper has
been stercotyped by us in our own
Office and by our own machinery. The
state, we think we can say without fear of
successful contradiction, has been pre-
scented to the world Ia all its various MS
poets, The condition of its.goycrnment, Ito
history counties, towns, railroads, physi.
cal features, climate, minerals, etc, and
what information Is given may be implc-
lily depended upon as authentic Where
accurate data could not be obtained upon
any of the many subjects discussed, no ut.
tempt has been made to give the figures
or fact as we preferred TO omit
in some instances rather than mis-
lead. No attempt has been made
in any instance to color facts
but simply to atate them as they exist, and
II has been our single aim, at all times and
in all cases, to do equal and impartial jus.
ticc. We cannot but feel, upon the COM
pio,on Of the work, that we have done
something that must rebound, in the near
future, greatly TO the advantage Of our sec
ton and state, both In correcting erroneous
opinions with reference thereto In other
quarters of the Union and of tho world,
and in inducing and securing heavy im.
migration, among,hat substantial .and de.
