World's exposition at New Orleans. TO |
eoure this end same organized effort 10
lpcegsary. The county 10 powsrless under
he law to appropriate money and hire
men TO do the work Of collecting products,
TO-, and the citiz sns must take the matter
n hand Vita this work In view we sug-
,est the organization OF an
immigration society, whose duty 1t
gill be to devise ways TO raise means for
the expenses OF getting up suit
lble exhibit and prepare aud publish such
immigration documents as they may deem
necessary. The value a. such course to
,ur county cannot be over estimated, but
o ineure It's success n must be led by our
prominent citizens. We Buggest that some ,
" these men Of influence, II they look
With approval upon our ideas given
lbove, get up call for q macs meeting
20 be held az The court.houee the early part
u next week to exchange Views upon this
mnortnnt matter. Our sister, Wise coun.
", has organized an immigration society
Which has undertaken ana IL successfully

levs that Cooke should do the same thing.
