SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.
AND HOW 1T CAN BE MADE 10 HELP
US AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Following Letter Explains ITSELF and
Your Attention Is Carefully d.
rected to It
CoRsrcANA, Tex, April Is, 1891.

|
Mr.. EDIToR-Your attention is
most respectfully asked to the effort
being made by the Southern Inter
State Immigration Bureau, in the di
rection of great Southern exposition
to be held at Raleigh, North Carolina,
Oct. l, to Dec. l, 1891. 1t is hoped
and believed that every ate in the
South will be represented with a cred
table exhibit in all recources.
The bureau has secured the North
Carolina state fair and exposition
grounds and buildings, and the funds
have been provided with which ex
penses are to be met.
The management will receive ex-
hibits, and grounds will be open to
visitors from June l, and excursions
have been provid ed for from the North
weekly, up to Oct. l, and then daily
from that date until Dec. l.
1t is intended that this exposition
shall form nucleus for exhibits from
the whole south up to January 1896,
and then the whole to be removed to
the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
1t will readily be seen what an ad-
vantage we will derive from being in
Chicago SO far ahead of others, secur-
ing the best place for southern exhih~.
its, and forming acquaintance with
the managers before the rush of the
exposition, and becoming familiar
with the surroundings, and while
countless thousands are viewing the
progress of the Columbian building,
we will be at work showing up the
south.
1t behooves the people of the state
OF Texas to make every effort to have
q fine exhibit of our cereals, woods,
minerals, building stones, manufac-
turing goods and handiwork of our
people on exhibition at Raleigh, to.
gether with pamphlets, circulars,
maps, ETC., as will properly advertise
our great state.
1t should be borne in mind that
thousands of people from the north,
east and west, and from Europe, az
we'll as from all over the south, will
attend the exposition in Raleigh, and
that excursions will be made up to all
the southern states, and that every
interest in Texas ought to be repre-
seuted by its livest men, who are full
of all that pertains to their state, in
order that we may be able to hold our
own with the energetic and enterpris'
ing, who are sure to be present from
every state in tht south.
Knowing full we'll the worth of the
press in all that pertains to the up
building of our great state, l feel that
Texas can fully rely on its newspapers
to help to their utmost ability in
making this great southern movement
complete success. Yours truly,
S. ]. Z. JOHNSON,
Member Executive Committee South
ern Interstate Immigration Bureau
for the State of Texas.

The RIGHT Sort of BeneYolence.

A firm of contractors at Worcester,
Mass, have provided, for the comfort OF
their men, room fitted with book
shelves and reading desks to be used as
reading-room. Across the floor runs
thick black line dividing the room in
halves. The firm at first did not want
to let the men smoke in the room. but,
as they will use it chiefly during the
noon hour, and like to smoke after eat
ing, the Andersonvilled dead line arrange
ment was adopted: The smokers stay
on one side and tho3e who object on the
other. On the tables devoted to maga-
zines, beside several illustrated week
lies, are periodicals relating to the busl-
ness and the local daily papers, and
several from Boston and Springfield.
On the shelves about the room books OF
reference will be placed. The firm has
already purchased set of encVclo-

try, the irritating harvest mite being
most common.
The mites get upon the skin. especial

the lower half of the body, occasionally
over the whole, and with their strong
mandib bles and arms, or elbowed Max
illae, cut and dig their way down into
the true skin, causing great irritation.
which results in small swellings red
ness and inflammation, causing an ir-
resistible scratching. The insect is
often scratched" out before it can
burrow deeply, thus giving relief.
Sulphur applications, the same as for
the itch mite, or kerosene will kill the
insects and allay inflammation. Strong
salt water is effective. \ severe attack
