Every County Must be at the EN-
position.
OUR PRODUCTS MUST SPEAK FOR us.

Every county in the State should
send to the New Orleans Exposition
this winter, to be placed on exhibi
ton to its credit in the Mississippi
Department, fair samples of its CORN,
WHEAT, OATS, RYE, BARLEY, RICE, TO-
BAoco and WOOL. Each should be
able then and there to prove to the
world its capacity to produce all OF
these great staples in excellent quail
tiles, for they are types and induces
of progress civilization, and prospect
ty by which men of all sections and
races judge the conditions ofclimate,
soil, industry and resources of the
habitations of their fellow men.
No heed need be given to the
matter Of cotton exhibits, for this
despotlc king will be there IN all the
plentitude of his power, and his ex-
istence is already known and recog-
nized Of all men.
The forests will be represented
strongly, but the many noble speci-
mems in the timber exhibit will only
typify Mississippi as the savage knew
twill only hold the mirror up to
nature and illustrate Gods prodigal-
ity ere the Woodlands ak invaded
the realm of the Indian, the deer and
the panther.
The grasses will be fully repre-
sented, but most of them like the
trees were born of seeds scattered by
the hand of Omnipotence.
The soils will be represented, but
they will only bespeak capacity for
production and rehearse to the scien-
fist the story of the glacial period,
and the ages Of erosion and corrosion
while dame nature was busy with the
alohymy of creation.
The manufacturing industries will
all be represented, but the world is
cognizant of the fact that spindles
twirl most nimbly, and heavier sledges
swing, and swifter wheels revolve
upon the sterile and rocky shores OF
New England than elsewhere in the
universe.
The world wants to know what our
farmers are doing and where they are
doing it; they want to know what
we can produce, where we produce it
and the character of the products.
They concede our ability to raise
cotton but they are not cognizant Of
our claim to rival the West and East
and all the world in all the other
harvests that are the rewards Of hon
est delving in the fields.
At the Exposition we must be Oh
hand with our testimony; every coun-
ty must put in an appearance, and
those counties that are not represent
ed by products in the list we have
given above, will not be considered
capable of making them. This will
be fair deduction for the world to
make, and the delinquent counties
must be prepared to abide by its re-
suits no matter how unfortunate these
results may be.
This is fast age; an age Of hurry
and rush, and men who in old times
spent many months in travel and ex-
ploration ere they located their fami-
lies and invested their savings, now
go to the great expositions in search
of homes, and read the whole country
through the exhibits that advertise
every section.
