The Worlds Exposition.

Inc w OrldS Exposition In New
Orleans next winter will be one of
the most important ever held in the
United States and be productive of
greater benefit to the south, for the
reason that those which have been
held in the last few years have de
monstrated their value as advertis-
ing mediums and the best methods
of making them most attractive to
those seeking pleasure and Profta-
ble investment. The season and
the place will contribute largely to
the success of the exposition, whilst
the abundant means already in sight
gives assurance of ample and mag
nificent preparation. Whilst, how
ever, we may properly appreciate
its splendors and its thousand and
one sources of pleasure and enjoy
ment, its practical feature will have
forces most attractive, for it will
furnish US a grand opportunity to
exhibit to the world, as from an
open book, our varied resources,
our varied products of forest and
field, of orchard and garden, of mines
and manufactures.
The exhibition we make will in
dicate our enterprise and progress,
character and variety OF our pro
ducts, of our resources, the ap-
titude of our soil, the manufactur
ing facilities, and perhaps our posi-
bilitjes of future growth and devel-
opment. The sharp eyes of the re-
presentatiyes of capitol will read
the record we make with unerring
accuracy; so it should be truthful
and just.
To no state in the union will the
opportunity be of higher promise,
for no state possesses ampler or
more varied stores to draw from.
None affords q more inviting field
for investment either in agriculture,
money or manufactures, or a eli
mate more healthful or attractive.
Our own county Of Giles is al
ready distinguished for her fruits
and sereals, without having ex-
hausted its possibilities. 1t has
achieved enough to stimulate our
pride and to prompt us to earnest
effort to preserve at New Orleans
the laurels won at Louisville. We
can boastjas large variety Of soil
products as any county in the state
and if there was no need to attract
capital to either buy our lands that
are on the market or to promote the
higher development of our agricul-
ture and manufacturing resources,
there is incentive enough in the op-
portunity to extend our markets.
Our exhibit of corn at Louisville
has already created a demand for
seed abroad, and our exhibit of
fruits has demonstrated our adap-
tation to the nursery business.
Ours is one Of the very few cOun-
ties in the south adapted both to
the production Of blue grass and
cotton; it is, in fact, adapted to the
widest diversiication in farming,
and with easy access to market, an
exceptionally pleasant and health
full climate, it is one Of the most
the state. There are few Of our
farmers who cannot supply some
thing from the field or meadow, the
garden, the orchard, or the forests
for the exposition. The different
varieties Of grain, of grasses, vege-
tables-every thing suitable, should
be gathered as they come forward
or mature, and preserved until the
time to prepare them for exhibition
or until proper instructions are Civ
en- for this purpose.
Almost the entire world will
flock to New Orleans as to no 9th
er place in the United States and
we may safely predict the gra1dest
success for the ezposition-cheap
fare, and the best facilities for trav-
cling, the leisure period Of the year,
the delightful climate, will attract
everybody. Let US have & display
we shall be proud to show the |
world.
