This column will henceforth be de-
voted to the interests OF Mississippi's
exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, and through it we hope, in
our limited way, to serve the State in
this grand work. Any of our readers
who have good ideas or any who
know of worthy exhibits are cordially
invited to communicate them to the
editor and such as are available will
be used in this department and thus
brought to the attention Of the bureau,
as we'll as to the public.
A new (and we believe a triumph
anti era was born in Mississippi when
u Legislature appropriated $4,000
for an exhibit of our at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Last
week the Governor assured its welfare
by appointing four sponsors for it, and
now there is nothing left for 1t to do
but to grow and thrive and develop
into the splendid exhibit which will
be the pride of our people. And this
it is sure to do under the management
Of the bureau just appointed by Gov.
Longino, and of which he Is ex-oficio
chairman. There were many things to
be considered in making these appoint
ments and many scores of people were
eager to have them considered in their
way. But out of these many fine pos
sibilities the Governor made just
about as good appointments as could
possibly have been made. They were
excellent geographically, representing
South, Central, East and North Missis-
sippi and the Delta. From a business
standpoint they could not be better,
bringing in, as they do, the profess
sions, the lumber interests, planting,
merchandising and familiarity with
that important factor in all successful
undertakings, newspaper work. The
Delta is represented by one of it's most
devoted and loyal citizens, the Govern
or himself. His career is too familiar
to our people to need mention here.
and he gave ample proof of his inter
est in the Exposition when he recon-
mended this appropriation in his mes
sage. There have been great things
accomplished during the ~administra-
ton of our present Governor-things
of such Importance to us as a people
that any one of them would in coming
years suffice to make his name beloved
as well as famous. And while these
are many and varied, and have added
immeasurably to the value and infiu-
ence of our educational institutions,
to the comfort and efficiency of our
benevolent institutions and to our
pride in the possession of our splendid
new Capitol. the crown was put upon

~terests when he urged the a%ppropria

might tell the world something OF

on the list when they go up ant

that Gov. Longino's interest in thi'
work will increase and that he vii
