school aud building purposes was BOG cents on

BALTIMORE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.
After showing that the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago proved of incalcuable value to West Vir-
ginia, Governor MacCorkle says: 1.-THE city
of Baltimore proposes to celebrate the one
hundrcdth year of its Incorporation by great
fair 10 be held in the year 1897. This is to be
n grand exhibition of the resources of our
country, and especially of our section of the
Union. A splendid organization has been eff
fected, the best financial arrangements have
been made, and it bids fair in every way to be
one of the worlds greatest gatherings. This
will be great opportunity tor an exhibition
of our wonderful products. The State of West
Virginia aud the city of Baltimore are linked
in iron bonds of commercial intercourse. a
large part of our products are sold in baltl'
more and our merchants purchase largely
therein. 1t is q great port of entry, with
widely diversified trade, and it cannot but be
helpful to our State to be brought into close
position with the commerce of this port. Bal
timore has always been liberal in her dealings
with us, and believe there will never be 8
better opportunity TO develop and extend oul
commercial relations and advertise our natura
pro ducts.
Whilst am in favor of all possible econ
ony, yet believe that with States, Us well a
with individuals, liberal advertising is the bes
possible expenditure of money. The State
generally have adopted the great fair as thei
legitimate sphere of advertisement, where OF
larger field, before the multitudes which
ga Their there, the world can see and appreciate
the wealth and resources of our country
Tt ere fore hope it will be the pleasure of thu
Legislature to make liberal Appropriation il
order that our wealth of mine, forest, farm
aud mandatory may be shown to the world
Onr great success at the Worlds Fair viii
| Justify thi. action, and believe all of ou
people will heartily indorse liberal allow
ance in this direction.
