The exhibit made by the West Michigan
Farmers Club at Louisville last fall was
scented, and the beneficial results to the
State have already manifested themselves
in increased immigration, and the constant
inquiries made as to the resources of Michi-
gan from all sections of the country. 1t is
contemplated to have full exhibit of tn
agricultural, genealogical and mineral pro-
auctions of Michigan. The native woods
of the State in finished and unfinished
condition will also be marked feature. 1t
will readily be seen of how great and far
reaching importance a full and complete
exhibit of the resources of the State of
Michigan must be to its people. No appro-
priation was made by the Legislature of
1888 TO defray the expenses of such an ex-
hibit on the part of the State, and / there
all Interested the necessity of literally aid
ing to make the Michigan exhibit, at both
the Louisville and New Orleans Expositions,
a credit to our great and growing State, and
means of materially increasing its growth
and prosperity. f. NJ. Carroll, Esq, of
Grand Rapids, and Hon. A. p. Swineford,
of Marquette, are the duly appointed State
Commissioners. All communications and
remittances should be sent to the Com
missioners at Grand Rapids. With the
hope and belief that so important project
will meet with a hearty and liberal support,
again commend it TO the enlightened and
public spirited people of Michigan.
