for visiting, and a visit to the Ores
cent City after the great fair opens
will be profitable as we'll as pleas
ant, for the exhibits and visitors
are to come not only from every
part OF the United States, but from
all quarters of the. world. The
Southern visitor will become &C.
quainted with his own neighbors,
see what they do, how they work
what their yield is, how they i'm
prove upon his methods, and also,
how he can teach them. He will
discover that the Northerner, whom
he knows but slightly, yet likes
better than he used to, is very much
such a man as himself. AS for for
eigners, in their appearance, their
ways and their manufactures, he
will discover more than he could by
travelling year in Europe.

THE EXPOSITION.

made up its mind that our approach
ing Worlds Industrial and Cotton
Centennial Exposition is to be the
greatest show of it's kind ever exhib-
tied. The grounds are larger, the
buildings occupy more surface space,
the number of exhibitors will be
greater and the floral and horticul
tural display more varied and mag
nifcent than any ever before offered
for public inspection and admira-
ton. Go where you will through
out the country, and the New Or
leans Exposition is the great sub
ject of popular remark. Everybody
who can possibly do so appears de-
termined to visit this city between
the first of December, 1884, and
the last of May, 1885, and the num-
Der of visitors between these respec-
tive periods will unquestionably run
up into the millions. The gran
deur Of the Exposition has been an
ticipated by almost every newspaper
and periodical throughout the coun-
try, and has received favorable
mention by the press Of other lands.
True, there have been doubts ex-
pressed by few doubling Thomas
es, but only enough to prove by
the exception the generality Of the
approving rule.
Among the papers which have
spoken in terms ofhigh appreciation
Of our Exposition we may mention
that brilliant weekly, the New York
Hour. In the issue of the Oath
inst, it predicts that the Cotton
Centennial will prove "of greater
benft to the South than any thing
which has occurred since the war;"
It refers to the impetus which the
{ Cotton Exposition at Atlanta gave
to agricultural and manufacturing
pursuits throughout this section, and
, to the far wider influence which oul
, coming Exposition is likely to ex.
ert. It then proceeds to says:
) Everybody admits-or ought to
that Southern soil is wonderfully
fertile, that Southern men are d
: fine physique and energy, and that
! the country and its people have il
the end gained nightly through
their misfortunes of twenty years
ago. The cotton crop is annually
a larger than it ever was in slavery
|, days, although immense quantities
of corn, wheat, oats and other grains
are now raised where once nothing
but cotton was planted. Men wh'
= once were tainted with being indo
lent and incapable-with living b.
the enforced labor Of other-hav'
! shown their ability to work will
it their hands as hard and successful,
as any Northern farmers, and to b.
> proud Of doing it, too. Even tn
colored race have taken part in tn
. general advance Of the section
a There are thousands of WORTHLESS
is negroes, no doubt, and sometimes
l. planter may be found who will de
% clares that 'the niger won
y work." but general observatio
shows that the colored people, as
AZ body, work a great deal harder an
= produce more than under the sic
IL very system. The readjustment {
a. the races is not yet complete. n
At sane man could expect it to be S
n during the lifetime Of the geners
