To the Public

I have been requested by some of
those who are now engaged in the
preparation Of s'The National Cyclic
rsaia of American Biography" to
try to procure the autographs Of the
following named Governors Of
North Carolina: James Turner,
David Stone, William Hawkins,
Jesse Franklin, James Iredell, Ben.
Williams, Nathaniel Alexander, Ben.
Smith, William Miller, Gabriel
Holmes, John Owen, Montford
Stokes.
II the newspapers of the State
will kindly give this request one or
two insertions they may do the
State some service in trying to
rescue from oblivion the names and
autographs of many of our early
Governors. If any of the news
papers or any other person can as
certain the county il which any one
Of ssid Governors resided at the
time Of his death, and will inform
me Of the same, he or they will
oblige me by so doing. It is rea
sonable to suppose that any mar
who was prominent enough to b;
Governor of North Carolina mus
have left his autograph among some
Of the records of his county.
It is proper to remark that I hav'
no interest in this matter except a.
citizen of the State.

CHICAGO, June 1.-Everybody in
every State is informed today by
the commissioners that the fair is in
shape and a good time to see it is
at once. This official letter will be
scattered in every corner of the
country and its aim is to disproye
the silly charges of incompleteness
and extortion. The document is g
long affair explaining the immense
scope of the exposition and its ad-
vantages from an educational stand
point. It will recite that there is
enough to busy the mind Of the
studious man for many months. II
advises no one to stay away since
the occasion is the grandest of AM
age in any country. There are ne
excessive prices for essential things
and it is time that the stories should
be branded as untrue. The state
ment will be wired to the leading
papers and given the widest possi
bic circulation.
