An Example to be Followed {.

A company has been formed in Bertie
county, N. c., for the construction of
typical tar kiln. which is to be exhibited
at the Chicago Fair among the many in
teresting articles of various kinds which
will be sent there from the Old North
State in illustratation of its different in
dustries. Bertie lies in that part of

tar which it produces, and it seems pc
culiarly appropriate that the design re-
ferred to should have had its origin
among its enterprising citizens. The
idea embodied in it is an excellent one,
and is we'll worthy of imitation in our
States which are distinguished for indus.

No State could adopt a plan that
would bring before the vast mnltitudcs
who. will assemble in Chicago during the
Fair more vivid and graphic picture of
its special resources. Deposit this Kiln
in the North Carolina department in the
great exhibition, and the whole operation
of the manufacture of tar and the part
that it plays in trade and commerce. will
be impressed more deeply on the minds
of the spectators than a thousand spec
linens of the product, either in its raw
or manipulated form. would be able to
/ do, and to that extent the interests of
North Carolina, which derives such a
large revenue from this source, will be
more fully promoted.

and cotton into condition for the hand of
the manufacturer should be illustrated at
Chicago in the same practical way.
