ito Mlllcnnial at Santa Fe in July.
This is a matter of such great
interest to Lincoln County as well
as to the Territory, that the broad
est and fullest discussion of its
whole bearings should be encour-
aged. Only in this way can a gen
eral interest be aroused in the
minds OF the masses, and Il local
pride generated, which will result
in causing the very best display of
our products and resources to be
made at tho Mother City this sum
mcr.
Lincoln, though long neglected,
and for several years torn and di-
vided by internicine strife, is yet
nevertheless, in its natural rcsour-
ces, the Banner County Of New
Mexico.
With a boundless store of rich
mineral of every variety with an
inexhaustiblc supply of the finest
coal west of the Mississippi /; with
the largest bodies Of the best tim
Der with the largest area of agri-
cultural lands of any county in the
Territory, and with her stock in
t%erests already large and rapidly
increasing, we can make such n
display As will not only astonish
eastern visitors, but even our
Jagged and gray" mother-Santa
Fe-hersclf. TODD this, however,
we must have the united action OF
the whole people. Every nan
must feel a pride in his county and
her resources. a generous rivalry
must be stimulated. We should
each man and each section-try to
procure the very best specimens of
all our products-corn, coal, tim
Der, vegetable products and hay
Yes, we should have a small bale
Of our incompatible gramma hay
on exhibition. Each miner and
mine owner should select the finest
ore specimens, and of every vari-
ETY. possible.
Then let US contribute literally
towards the expense of procuring
cases or cabinets, and in making
the space allotted to Lincoln Coun-
tY elegant, tasty and attractive.
This, Of course, will cost some
money, but the advantages which
We will derive from the advertise
mcnt of our great natural wealth
will greatly oyerbalancc any ex-
pcnse which we may incur.
Advertising pays! No mcr-
chant who is niggardly in his out
lay for advertising his wares $, ever
docs a liberal paying business.
The same is true of rail roads and
all great corporations which de-
pend upon public patronage for
support. The reflex influence up
on the character of men, corpora
tons and counties, is very great.
1t tends to broaden the views of
men, and imbues them with a lib
eral progressive spirit. Just SO in
the case ofour display at Santa Fee.
II we make a really crcditable dis
play, such Is VIC are capable of
making, it will vastly increase our
self respect. We will be taught
that liberality begcts its like, and
on. views will be broadened that
much. The leaven will begin to
work. and soon we will be known
throughout the land as a liberal
minded, progressive and prosper
Gus people. The pertio M%illcnnial
will make az acquainted with the
world, and the world without COM
ing to see us, will take its impress
sions of us from our representatives
and II display in July. The
world despises niggardliness and
stinginess, and unfortunately for
some people, it does not love pow
erty, nor the servileness which ar
ises from it. We are not poor, nor
stinpv nor ni0pardlv How i'm
