thousands Of valuable cifizens 70 settle
With us. and cast in their fortunes Ia de-
veIoping the latent wealth Of nature.
There are ia the county over half {
hundred different kinds Of natural
growth of trees A small specimen Of the
wood Of each, neatly mounted. would be
attractive and valuable. calling 20 II the
attention Of timber manufacturers Of w.
rious kinds. scientific bOrticulturaiisfs
and botsDisfs-
The county has. also, white Limestone.
grey limestone. white sand stose, red
sand stone. and brown sand stone. A
two-inch block Of each nicely dressed
and labeled With the size and work
ability Of layers. would call attention OF
architects and builders 10 our resources.
II also has large variety Of different
kinds Of clay. varying from the yellow
clay Of the brick maker TO the fine white
clay OF the potter. A two-inch block OF
these properly air-dried snd labeled.
would call attention 10 iss resources in
this line. and would Be valuable
The schools Of this county are equal
70 those Of most counties in the State.
and superior 10 those Of many other To-
caiitiss. Each school should have 4
choice exhibit Of ifs work. which will
unquestionably aid in calling people 20
our midst Who seek locations where
their children can be properly schooled
These exhibits cannot be obtsined With
out cooperation on the part Of our peo-
pie, and . willingness 10 generally aid
ip paying the expense OF properly get
ting them mp. The expense need not be-
nuch-but whatever it 10 sll should be-

There are probably many other ways D
and things which could be shown there
TO advantage, and about which the Ex-|
ecutive Commissioner for Indiana in !
vifes correspondence. The items We
have mentioned would b for exhibition
purposes only. and would lind place in
the Indiana building. This building
will also probably BE- furnished with
some Of the Jssper Desk Company's

Specimens Of the natural graases and

should BE- gathered during the summer, !,
neatly mounted and labeled. With boiAu-
icai and common names With the date
Of gathering affixed, and alec fully de-
veIoped heads cf the cultivated erss<es
and small grains Of each variety grown
In the county. properly mounted. would
be handsome addition 20 the exhibit
Of the resources OF the county.
We would snggest that the fonr milIs
OF this county might combine. and send
up barrel each. with . man 70 look a.
ter them, 70 compete With The -four from
other parts Of the world. Ii one OF
them didn't succeed in getting the frstl
premium-they would q least demon

obtain enough orders to justify the ont

To this end let our people talk IL up.
