Here is presented the opportunity for

| of the finest timbered counties In the state,
and also her deposits Of iron ore, mineral
waters, and varied products, especially her
advantages for vegetable, fruit aud grape
culture. Old Harrison should have
parts in the state building. to be
erected OF native material. Hell
pine, oak, gum, ash. walnut, aud other
timber are as fine as that of any country.
At least one square OF the walls OF the
building should be prepared and forwarded
