The time for the opening of the
,lg Fiar at Shreveport is coming on
space, and the feverish excitement
to such events is beginning
10 manifest itself.
This is by no means local affair,
though Shreveport has been selected
as the most advantageous place for
holding it. Four or five States are
in this Exposition, as it |
will give each an opportunity to dis
play the products indigenous thereto,
and advertise to the world their re-
sources.
The executive committee is giving
the matter more attention daily, and
will continue with renewed activity
until meetings will be held nearly, if
not quite, every day. This is su-
preme moment with the members,
and they are determined to throw off
the band of sluggish inertia which
the financial stringency has wound
around the country, and if possible
bring about plessurable and accept
able reaction. This can be done as
soon as confidence is restored, which
should be accomplished when the
marketable resources of this country
are fully known. Therefore, it be-
hooves all to bend every energy to
add their quota to the bringing about
of this effort.
For the last two or three weeks
The PROGRESS has been culling from
the Fair Catalogue and publishing
different articles on which premiums
have been offered. This was done
for the benefit of its readers, who
may not have received copy of the
Catalogue, and they would thus be
enabled to make note of such
things as were of interest to the diff
ferent individuals.
This week we give list form the
