SOCIETY OF Sons OF LOUISIANA.
Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 9th, 1891. 5
At meeting of the Society of the Sons of
Louisiana in this city, held last evening, COM
mittee was appointed to correspond with prom
iuent officials and business men, also profes-
sonal men in Louisiana, urging, in the In
terest of that State which we hold very DEAR
combined and early action on the part of its
the Worlds Exposition of 1898, of the resources
and advantages offered by Louisiana to the
Capitalist and Immigrant. We know of no
better, nor even good medium, through
which to appeal to the LOusianians, than that
Of the Press, and we therefore come first to
the members of your Estate.
The national honor as also Sller own interest
calls on Louisiana to make the best possible
Exhibit at the said Exposition No fairer do
main, within the broad confines of our country
can be shown, than Louisiana can show, and
hn hnu q q al nfh hap
tile field can be shown to the Capitalist, Manu-
facturer and Agrculturist, inviting their in
yestments, than can Louisiana show to the
many such who will be here in 1893.
Inasmuch as the Legislature will not reas-
,emble until 1892, it is Incumbent upon the peo- |
pie of the State, that they make united and
speedy action ii Louisiana would be abreast of
Ter sisters in showing to the world the glory of
America. And after all, the people are the |
State Will you not therefore urge on them |
ions, to make appropriations to one common |
und, for Louisiana's benefit, to be administered
" commissioners specially appointed there
or in the interest of Louisiana, and to act in |
Ter behalf in securing space for Louisiana, at
he approaching Exposition, where she can TT
ingly show her abundant resources.
Louisiana has never been one whit behind {
nv other State, in doing her whole duty, nor
las she ever lacked sons of broad minds and |
ublic spirit to maintain her honor and show | :
er glory; and certainly at a juncture so
raugnt with the countrys honor and her {
VII proud name, she will through her sons be | i
dual to this grand occasion. +
Our Society will most gladly aid i'll this, to | I
ny extent within it's individual and collective L
over. Very Respectfully,
T, r. sOUTHMAYD. T.
