oughly prepared and carefully arranged
exhibits Of each and all of their resources
and products. To such az shall dem
onstrate their boundless wealth only
awaiting population and capital 10 be
called into being, this Exposition will form
beneicent creation. Such is the convic-
ton Of your memorialists, and feeling thus
we desire TO see Mississippi take that place
in the Worlds Industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition TO which she is entitled
by virtue of her rank among the cotton
producing States, the variety and richness
of the products, the energy, intelligence
and patriotism of her people. She can
only do this by filling the place allotted to
her in the Exposition with an exhibit of
everything within her borders, which now
contributes to the comfort and wealth of
man, OF which by development can be
made to do so, an exhibit so carefully and
thoroughly prepared and placed before the
world as to challenge the admiration of all
and prove a source Of pride and gratifca
ton to our own people. To this end lib
eral and generous appropriation upon the
part of the State is necessary. Your me
morialists, therefore, respectfully ask, and
urge upon your honorable bodies that in
the best interest of our common State, at
an early day of your session you do appro-
pirate the sum of $4,000 TO be expended
by such agents and under such limitations
as you may see fit to designate, for the
purpose thersin indicated.
