Commissioner Hen lerson has also
issued circular to the people Of
Georgia calling thei1 attention to the
Importance of Tie resources Of the
State being properly represented at
the exposition. He very truly says
Georgia is rich in undeyeloped
mineral, agricultural and man1factur-
Jag resources, but has neither the
capital nor the population necessary
70 their speedy Development. New
England has surplus capital and
population seeking profitable invest
nent and employment Owing to
he intelligent efforts of the States Of
the Northwest to make known their
resources, by jl'Iicious exhibitions of
their products at the various exposi
tons, the great bulk OF both the
surplus capital ana population Of
the East have sought employment in
the West. We desire to turn a por-
ton Of this capital and population to
Georgia, but, III order to do this, we
must make known our resources by
exhibiting representative specimens
Of our products where they viii.
be brought to the attention OF CAPT
,alisss and those seeking home in a
more genial cline and less crowded
trgion."
This Fair of the New England
Manufacturers and Mechanics As~o-
citation affords m admirable oppor-
tunity to make q proper exhibit of
par resources, and OF the in luce
nents offered by the Empire State

grants. Commissioner Henderson
urgently requests our people to for
ward TO him specimens Of minerals,
building stone, valuable woods, clay
suitable for mechanical purposes,
hnestoneand mari, both natural and
prepared for agricultural and mechan-
icai use, turpentine products, man
nfacturol products, agricultural and
horticultural proluct5-in a word
everything OF value produced through

Ii the people OF the State will ac-
