Mr.. A. f. Lewis, of Milford, Pa, has
been appointed by Governor Pattison rs
Commissioner for Pennsylvania, to this
'Industrial Exposition" and begs leave to
call the attention of the people of the State
to the urgent necessity of organizing
promptly in the different districts in order
to prepare for each county the collections
exhibit" it should be their aim to display
beside those of sister states. A loan of u
million of dollars by the Congress OF the
United States for the general purposes of
the Exposition was secured by Director
General Burke at the recent session. OF
this sum $1,000 has been set apart, by a
resolution of the Board OF Directors, and
appropriated "to each State and Territory
that may prepare a collection exhibit Of

appropriation is now available, and should
be supplemented by the efforts of all citi-
zens who desire that their State should
have a creditable exhibit, to the end that
her advantages and attractions may be ad-
equately presented and her resources illus

forwarded to New Orleans and returned

The Southern States are inspired by a
zeal to improve the opportunity which on
like occasion, in 1876, they were not in a
condition to profit by, owing to the general
dislocaton of business and the poverty of
the people, growing out of the civil war.
| Now the greatest enthusiasm prevails in
that section, and every Southern state,
down to its smallest subdivision, will be
fully organized and effectively represented.
From the Northern States applications foi
