A GREAT TEXAS EXPOSITION.


TIE suggestion that this sras, state
of TsxAs, with the unsurpassed in
dustrial possessions and possibilities
abourding in her vast area, shsuld
have an exposition worthy Of her iui-
pcrial grandeur. has met with favor
from the press generally. 1t 10 con
coded that tbs enterprise, properly ID.
sugurated and conducted, would be
the most profitable advertisement that
could possibly be given to the Stale.
Thsrs Is scarcely an industry tina,
would not be largely benefited,
whether in the farming, mining, mer-
camille, railway, real estate, live
stock, or other department.
The pyramids Of mineral wealth
that could 90 attrsctivoly erected with
the iron, tho coal, the copper, tue gran,
stes, the marbles, ths ssndstones, the
limestonas. etc, from every section
would caueo our people to wonder at
our now unknown and unsuspectsd
resources in these directions. The
monuments Of grainS-wheat, corn,
oats, rye, barley and iice--slong with
stacks OF barrels of sugar and bales Of
cotton and tobacco, eli RAISED within a
few parallels of this latitude, would
cause people from abroad to wonder
81 the iafiaits variety Of these employ
ments FOR labor. Tho two hundred

manufactures OF wood wopld attest 10
ths numberlsss manufacturers OF
farniture, Wagons, hsu,o Trainings,
boxes, barrels and scorea Of similar iu-
forests, thsb this Is ihe true home OF
such enterprises. An exhibit OF our

All these displayed by spsolmenx

say. There are more than q hall
dozen nupsrb young cities in Texas
that might most creditably handle the
matter. The chief requirements would
be ready and convenient access BY
