II certain that the more Northern anu Southern people come together the bet, ter they will understand each other anu the closer will be the sympathy between the sections. The intercourse must prove beneficial not only from the point oI view of sentiment. but commercially ana industrially. There is no telling now Southward as a result of the large at tendance from the Southern States ana the exhibits from such states at the EAI position.
