THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
Call of the Kansas Delegates
for an Organized Effort
and Prompt Action.

The present fattering prospects of
bountiful crop of the great Agricultural
and horticultural products of Kansas,
together with the constantly increasing
product of our mines and the many
growing manufacturing industries of
the state, fill us with pride, and causes
the average Kansan to want to pro-
claim the great advantages which his
state possesses over the balance of Gre
alton. There is certainly no state in
the Union which is more certain of q
big crop, with plenty of moisture, than
Kansas, and the plentiful and timely
rains of the present summer have been
and are such as to insure rich harvest
of all the fruits and cereals raised in
Kansas.
The good results which have followed
our state exhibit at the various Ma.
tional and international Expeditions in
the past, have convinced us all that our
people who planned them and carried
them to such high state of perfection
which has characterized each such ex-
hibit, acted wisely and well, and that
the money and labor expended in such
public exhibitions of our products was
we'll invested.
The Cotton States and international
Exposition, which opens at Atlanta,
Georgia, on September 18th and closes
December 3lst, will be the largest ex-
position of its kind to be held this year.
II is expected that it will be second to
noexpositien which has been held in this
or the old countries, except the Worlds
Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
The government the various states
of the Union, and q great number Of
foreign countries, are making arrange
ments for fne display at this EXPOSE
ton, and especially is this true of the
South American countries,
At the request of the management Of
the Cotton States and International
Exposition, Governor Morrill, has APP
pointed nine delegates to represent the
state of Kansas at such Exposition, viz;
o. L. Learnard, Lawrence; A. p. Rid
die, Minneapolis; Asa Smith, Paola; ].
s. Carpenter, Council Grove; Jno @
Royce, Phillipsburg; Mrs. Minnie d.
Morgan, Cottonwood Falls; Mrs. M, f.
Robertson, Council Grove; Mrs l.. b,
Kellogg, Emporia; Mrs. Noble Prentis,
Kansas City.
At meeting Of this commission at
Topeka on the Goth of June, it was de-
cided to make an exhibit OF the products
Of Kansas at such exposition. Appl-
cation has been made for space for our
exhibit, and everything is now under
way for grand display. The size and
character Of the display which will be
made at Atlanta, will depend very much
upon the interest the people take in the
matter. The time is very short, and
whatever is done must be quickly DONE
Many varieties Of fruit should be pre-
pared for exhibit at once.
TO the end that Kansas may continue
to occupy the proud position which her
splendid exhibits on all former 90;
casions have entitled her, the Kansas
commission to the Cotton states and
international Exposition at Atlanta,
request any and all persons in the state
who have or will have anything which
they desire to have exhibited at such
Exposition, to prepare it for exhibition
and have It ready for transportation
when they shall be called upon by the
Kansas delegation.
Each county or ind vidual who de-
