The management of the Southern
Inter-States immigration Bureau,
which is on orgization gotten up I'M
dor the sanction of tho several State
governments, the plans arranged by
duly appointed delegates by the sew
eral Southern governors, have writ
ten to the publisher of this paper
requesting that he take in hand the
collection OF means sufficient to secure
products from this county to be
placed on exhibition at the head
quarters OF the Bureau for the pur-
pose OF showing the resources of our
county and state. There is no cost
to us except the collecting of exhibits
and paying the freight on same to
the city Of Raleigh, N. G.
We will place the subscription list
in the hands of A. E.. Kelly who will
cali upon our people at once; and we
will be glad to receive the funds, as
has been requested of us, and to pur-
chase the products of our county,
pack the same in such shape as is
necessary for safe shipment, and for
ward same at the very earliest mo-
ment possible.
This is II chance to advertise our
section at a very small cost. There
will be thousands of people visiting
the headquarters Of this official South
ern Bureau; and no state, section, or
county should fail to be represented.
We are not called upon to spend
n single dollar for the placing and
arranging of an exhibit. All this ex-
pensc is provided for already. We
only have to collect such exhibits
rs we think will attract people and
money to our section, send it to
the headquarters, and they will there
be exhibited free of cost to us.
Those Of our readers who have an
extra good specimen Of wheat, corn,
oats, rye, one half bus hcl each, can
ned fruits or vegetables in glass jars,
woods, six inches wide, two feet long
or larger, of any and all varieties
building stone in rough or dressed
shape weighing five to thirty
pounds each; minerals of all kinds,
precious stones, Indian relics, shells,
stuffed birds or animals, or skins of
animals; varieties of wines, brandics,
dried fruits medicinal herbs, roots ~
plants; and III fact anything ti'"t =.
produced or found in our county, w.ij
confer greet favor on the pcur'"
and aid in developing the resources
OF this section, if they will contribute
such articles to this cause.
These exhibits will not only be on
exhibition ut the Southern Inter-
States immigration headquarters,
but they will be placed on exhibition
at the tho Southern Inter-States EN-
position which will open in Raj.
eign, N. G., on tho 1st of October,
1891, and will close on the 1st Of De
cember. Such things as can be pre-
served will be placed on exhibition at
the Chicago Exposition in 1893. All
articles will be properly labelled, stat
ing that they are from our county.
We repeat, this is an excellent way
by which We can exhibit the products
of our soil, mines and forest and with
comparatively small cost. We
therefore urge upon our people to
take enough interest in the matter
to at least contribute the means nee
essary to pay for collecting the cxhib-
it's and paying the freight on same.
The cost to each individual will bc
very small, and we will collect and
forward the articles, rs requested by
General Manager F. 3. Chiffon.
Don't fail to contribute when called
upon.
